Was It a Coincidence?

"Master, aren't you angry?" Little Cat asked, her face full of confusion.

By rights, Bai Yang had been used by Yu Cangsong, yet he showed no sign of displeasure. Little Cat couldn't understand it.

"Why would I be angry?" Bai Yang said with a shrug.

Little Cat blinked, still confused.

Bai Yang shook his head and explained, "Cat, Yu Cangsong is the head of the Forbidden Martial Hall in Qingyang Prefecture for the Chen Dynasty. His son is the prefectural governor, and here in this prefecture, the Yu Family wields unmatched power. What's more, they represent the Chen Dynasty. I'm not afraid of them, but there's no need to make an enemy of them. Yu Cangsong may have been using my name, but our Gourd Valley lies within Qingyang Prefecture. With the Yu Family in control, we don't need to worry about trouble from the authorities. If anyone makes a move against us, their connections will ensure we're warned right away, helping us avoid unnecessary trouble. So, to sum it up, Yu Cangsong is using my reputation to secure his position, while I'm using him to avoid minor hassles. I understand that, and so does he. There's no need to spell it out. We both know the score."

After hearing Bai Yang's explanation, Little Cat finally understood. No wonder he didn't care. It was simply a matter of using one another, though Bai Yang held the upper hand in their relationship.

No longer dwelling on all the scheming and back-and-forth, Little Cat gave Bai Yang a strange look and said, "Master, I noticed that the eldest daughter of the Yu Family, Yu Feifeng, was looking at you very strangely just now."

Bai Yang raised a hand and smacked Little Cat on the bottom, laughing. "Why were you watching her, Cat?"
