Why had she added Martial Uncle to the introduction?
Hadn't Martial Uncle gone to the Joyous Union Sect a while back? He'd even brought her back a jar of very unusual wine.
From that, she could conclude that Martial Uncle and Charm Ancestor of the Joyous Union Sect were definitely more than just acquaintances!
As for Master...
She hadn't heard that he and Charm Ancestor had any sort of friendship.
And the person who'd just introduced herself was Charm Ancestor's sole personal disciple...
Heh heh, that was what she called wisdom!

The control room fell silent.
Although Chi Jiuyu had found another excuse to bring it up, Ji Yinxue didn't say anything more. She simply watched her calmly.
That indifferent gaze made Chi Jiuyu feel a little uneasy.
"Ahem." She coughed twice, then ventured, "Did you help me deal with those Bio-Weapons just now...?"
"Yes."
Ji Yinxue answered quietly, then walked straight toward her.
She didn't hurry or dawdle. The distance between each step seemed measured with a ruler, without the slightest deviation.
Chi Jiuyu's heart tightened, and she instinctively wanted to take a step back. But she quickly came to her senses, remembering that she'd just introduced herself as Master's eldest personal disciple...
If she took a step back now, wouldn't she completely disgrace Master?
So she held her ground.
Ji Yinxue came right up to her and reached out...

Chi Jiuyu: (((* )!
As Chi Jiuyu stared in a daze, Ji Yinxue spoke as if nothing had happened.
"I happened to see you under attack as I was passing by, so I helped you out."
Looking at the collar she'd straightened until it sat perfectly, she nodded with satisfaction.
"But even if I hadn't stepped in, you could have handled it yourself."
