Not long ago, when he had played dead, Ling Xi Wanderer had obtained some fairly useful information. Thus, when he entered Three Families Market, produced the token Black Robe had given him, and met that pretty, charming beauty in men's attire, he was not particularly surprised.
Zhai Que'er glanced over Black Robe's token, weighed the communication jade slip in her hand, and did not inspect its contents. She merely said, "Tell Senior Brother Black Robe that I will deliver this letter to Uncle Master Liu as soon as possible."
Only then did Ling Xi Wanderer realize that Zhai Que'er was merely passing on this communication jade slip as well.
Though he had altered his appearance, he could not deceive Zhai Que'er. This female cultivator was clearly quite interested in him and took the initiative to ask:
"Do you want to seek an affiliation?"
The question came out of nowhere, but Ling Xi Wanderer was under enormous pressure and had been thoroughly manipulated. In such circumstances, how could he fail to understand what she meant? At a time like this, he would never pretend to be lofty and unyielding. After a brief moment of surprise, he immediately put on an expression tangled between eagerness and hesitation.
"Is that possible?"
"It can be considered." Zhai Que'er spoke with truly not a trace of sincerity.
Ling Xi Wanderer nearly choked to death on her words, yet he could not get angry. He could only lower his head and grit his teeth in secret. The human heart was strange indeed. He had originally been only half acting, yet now seven or eight parts of it had become genuine, making him feel all the more stifled.
"Nothing is too shameful to say aloud. Don't speak ill of people in your heart."
Ling Xi Wanderer jolted.
