Jiang Liu, whom Han Yue had treated as a cultivation resource, had no idea what was on her mind.
Thinking she had something troubling her, he comforted her. "Since everything's fine now, you should head back. When I have some free time, I'll come find you."
Han Yue nodded, then darted away.
Jiang Liu returned to his quarters. The moment he stepped into the courtyard, he saw Gongsun Haoyue and Han Yi watching him with bright, intent eyes.
But Jiang Liu wasn't about to be intimidated by them. He immediately asked, "What's up?"
"Why did you go out so late? Who did you meet?" Han Yi wasn't so easy to fool.
"Oh! I went out to make a quick patrol. I was worried the Nether Race Elders' Council might have followed us here," Jiang Liu replied casually.
"Is that so?" Han Yi clearly didn't believe him, but she didn't press him further.
Only Gongsun Haoyue asked no questions. She simply watched Jiang Liu with a smile.
"You two are done washing up? Then it's my turn." Jiang Liu hurriedly flashed away toward the washroom.
"Little Sister Han Yi, don't worry too much about him. He knows his limits," Gongsun Haoyue said gently as she looked at Han Yi.
Gongsun Haoyue knew what kind of person Jiang Liu was, so she wasn't worried at all.
Perhaps Han Yi still didn't truly understand what kind of person Jiang Liu was, which was why she wanted to keep him on such a short leash.
"But he..." Han Yi looked in Jiang Liu's direction, unsure what to say.
Gongsun Haoyue led Han Yi into the room. She planned to tell her more about Jiang Liu.
When Jiang Liu finished washing up and came out, he found Gongsun Haoyue and Han Yi enthusiastically discussing him.
