Blood Tower Supreme stared blankly, then looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin smiled wryly. "Senior, that's just how she is."
"She's really disrespectful," Blood Tower Supreme said, though he wasn't offended.
Lu Yin glanced at the boat, then said to Blood Tower Supreme, "We have plenty of time anyway. Let's come back after a while. She'll warm up once we get to know each other."
Blood Tower Supreme nodded. "That's true. We have a lot in common."
"Like what?"
"I have a River of Time too."
"Right."

When she returned, he would go after her again, and she would leave once more. Then Blood Tower Supreme would pursue her along the riverbank, eager to discuss the use of the Power of Time with her. Zhaoran was at her wits' end.
Lu Yin wanted to help Zhaoran, but Blood Tower Supreme neither attacked her nor said anything insulting. He was also warm and enthusiastic, completely unfazed by Zhaoran's indifference. He was single-mindedly focused on improving himself, full of positive energy. It would have felt wrong to interrupt him.
All Lu Yin could do was look away and keep his peace.
