Chu Mo was still in a daze as he left. He'd only been dizzy just now, not deaf—he'd heard every word loud and clear.
Looking at Jiang Nannan in front of him, pulling him along with her little face flushed red, he couldn't tell whether she'd used him as a shield to get rid of her clingy suitor or whether she'd spoken from the heart.
As for her blushing, anyone would have gone red after saying something like that in front of so many people.
"You just..."
The rabbit ears on Jiang Nannan's head twitched, and her face reddened again. She looked so startled and adorable, just like a little rabbit.
Before Chu Mo could finish, she immediately explained why she'd acted that way.
"I-I just wanted to get rid of him. Don't read too much into it."
But somehow, she didn't look like she meant it. Chu Mo couldn't help doubting her a little.
Only a little, though. If he really didn't believe her, that would mean she actually liked him—and that would be pretty conceited of him.
As a young man with ambition, he couldn't afford to get too full of himself.
"Okay. But it's better to make things clear sooner rather than later."
Chu Mo nodded and dropped the subject.
"I'm planning to establish a powerful sect. Would you like to join?"
Jiang Nannan smiled at that, but a flicker of pain crossed her eyes.
"Oh? What kind of organization? Is it the Tang Sect? After all, Xiao Ya is its sect master. Are you planning to help her rebuild it?"
"No. But Yaya did join."
It was only natural for her to guess that, but Chu Mo shook his head. He wasn't building the Tang Sect. He hadn't transmigrated here just to be someone's lapdog.
