Xu Xiaoshou: "..."
A Saint? A Saint from a Holy Spirit Hall branch, or the kind from the Central Region's main hall? Xu Xiaoshou pondered.
His intuition told him that this simple-minded girl before him might truly be more than merely someone on Cheng Xingchu's level.
After all, aside from being a little naive, she was top-tier in practically every aspect.
Her looks, her figure, her cultivation...
None of that was important.
The most deadly thing was—
Those Star Pupils! Xu Xiaoshou stared at Yu Zhiwen's eyes for a long while, until she kept averting her gaze and even lowered her head. Only then did he ask suspiciously, "I've always been curious. Could such beautiful eyes have some special ability? Like seeing through things, for example?"
Yu Zhiwen was clearly stunned. Her earlobes flushed as she hurriedly said, "Not seeing through things."
"So that means they really do have some other special ability?"
"Uh, no..."
Just as the girl was about to deny it, Xu Xiaoshou widened his eyes, and she could no longer get the words out.
"Children aren't allowed to lie!"
"Your first answer was 'not that,' not 'no.' That says it all."
"Do you really think I'm stupid?"
"We're already teammates. If you keep hiding things like this, and something unexpected happens, I won't know your abilities or be able to judge your true strength properly, right?" Xu Xiaoshou said sincerely.
Yu Zhiwen twisted her fingers in her skirt, her expression immediately turning conflicted.
What Xu Xiaoshou said made so much sense.
They were already teammates. Deceiving each other really was not good.
But the Pearl Star Pupil was her greatest secret.
Her master had also said that she could not reveal it even to the people closest to her.
How long had she known Xu Xiaoshou?
