Xiao Mo really didn't understand why this Myriad Sword Sect disciple liked eating steamed buns so much.
But since that was what she had asked for, he had no objections.
Xiao Mo had the Imperial Kitchen make some steamed buns with the flesh of vicious beasts.
Although the Zhou Kingdom was only a small dynasty, it had no trouble providing the flesh of low-grade vicious beasts for meals.
Before long, the buns arrived. Xiao Mo and Jiang Qingyi sat on the raised platform, eating them one bite at a time.
"Why do you keep looking at me?" Jiang Qingyi asked, frowning.
"Nothing." Xiao Mo shook his head. "I just feel like Fairy Jiang is a little different from the other people of the mountain."
"How so?" Jiang Qingyi asked.
"It's hard to explain." Xiao Mo paused to gather his thoughts. "It's just that Fairy Jiang seems like an ordinary woman. You don't have the aloofness and haughtiness of the people of the mountain. Your master must be a highly respected Sword Immortal."
Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Jiang Qingyi froze for a moment and looked at him.
"What is it, miss?" Xiao Mo asked. Her gaze seemed a little strange to him.
"Nothing." Jiang Qingyi shook her head and continued eating the buns in small bites. "What Your Majesty said just made me think of my master."
"What kind of Sword Immortal is your master?" Xiao Mo asked, carrying on the conversation without any other intention.
Jiang Qingyi's small hand tightened around the bun she was holding.
Seeing her fall silent and frown, Xiao Mo had no idea what forbidden ground he'd stumbled onto, so he simply stopped speaking.
"My master really is accomplished in the Sword Way."
Just as Xiao Mo was eating his bun, Jiang Qingyi spoke slowly.
"Hmm?
