"No." Although Lu Ye had spent time alone with Su Yuqing several times lately, they had mostly discussed cultivation or matters in the Star Abyss. Why would he bring up such trivial things he had nearly forgotten?
"That's good." Shuixian let out a breath, her chest rising and falling slightly. "Though I had no choice in the circumstances back then, and my conscience is clear, some things still shouldn't let Yuqing know, right?"
"That's right." Lu Ye nodded solemnly.
"Then in return, I'll keep your secret too!" Shuixian looked at Lu Ye with a grave expression. "I won't bring it up to Yuqing unless... she asks me!"
What kind of secret-keeping was that?

"Hmph!" A sound came from Shuixian's delicate nose as she slanted him a glance. "Do you need me to remind you what you did? You and that Nine Radiance... did you really think I was blind?"

She turned to look around and withdrew the restrictions surrounding them. "All right, I'm leaving. Take care of yourself."
With a flash, she plunged into Square Inch Mountain and vanished.
Lu Ye sat where he was
