She just left.
Without even looking back.
Chen Yi watched Xiao Jinghong merge body and sword into a streak of light and vanish, then laughed speechlessly.
He naturally knew that Xiao Jinghong had come all the way from Mengshui Pass. If she had delayed any longer, she might have missed the appointed time.
Yet just moments ago, Xiao Jinghong had said she wanted to find him, her "benefactor."
Now, she did not even offer a farewell.
"My wife, you... truly are rather discourteous."
Once Chen Yi saw Xiao Jinghong disappear into the distance, he carried Yuan Liu'er and hurried toward the upper reaches of the Chishui River as well.
Yuan Liu'er secretly raised her head to glance at him and cautiously asked, "Grandmaster, General Xiao... does not recognize you?"
Chen Yi knew she was asking about his current identity. Shaking his head, he said, "She does not, but she must have heard of me."
"Then why..."
"Youngsters should not fill their minds with such messy matters."
"With that time, cultivate harder and relieve some of my burdens sooner."
"Oh..."
Yuan Liu'er lowered her head. Rather than being unhappy over Grandmaster's lecture, she secretly found it amusing.
The relationship between Grandmaster and Master's Wife was even more complicated than she had imagined.
In Yuan Liu'er's eyes, Chen Yi was almost omnipotent.
He was far more formidable than she could imagine.
Likewise, Xiao Jinghong was someone she admired.
The two of them were naturally a match made in heaven.
But...
Looking at their relationship now... for some reason, it seemed rather strange...
Chen Yi had no idea Yuan Liu'er had given his relationship with Xiao Jinghong the assessment of "strange."
He was pondering how to conceal himself when he backed up Snow Sword Lord later, lest Xiao Jinghong spot a flaw.
