"Could you tell me first the next time you come up with a new idea?" After hearing Chen Xuan's explanation, Honglian couldn't help complaining.
The Arbitration Court ability user from the Dimensional Limit Organization had come suddenly and left just as suddenly. After hearing that he would consider it, she turned and walked away without even saying goodbye, leaving behind Chen Xuan, who seemed to have more to say, Honglian, who stood dumbfounded, and a large crowd of curious onlookers.
It wasn't until they returned to the Ability Store in the residential complex that he had time to explain his intentions.
"How could I possibly join the Dimensional Limit Organization in the future?" Chen Xuan sighed. "Can't you trust me a little more?"
"If I didn't trust you, you wouldn't have seen me back then." Honglian curled her lip. "In the end, you just have too many secrets. I still don't know enough about you."
He couldn't help falling silent.
What she had complained about was undoubtedly true.
Since Honglian wasn't a customer chosen by the Ability Store, he had no way to reveal its secrets to her as he had to Liu Shuyue and Lin Qing.
His silence instead made Honglian somewhat uncomfortable.
She coughed twice. "I didn't mean to force you to explain everything. You can tell me whenever you feel like it. Anyway—before we find the real Lin Qing, I'll stand by your side."
"Why, did you two have a fight?" Liu Li's soft laugh came from behind them.
"No," they answered in unison.
"So there wasn't." She studied them teasingly. "Can't you trust me a little more? I still don't know enough about you— Before I came out from behind the counter, I thought some couple was arguing in the store."
Chen Xuan rolled his eyes.
