Hu Xiaotian said, "When luck comes knocking, there's no stopping it. Even I don't know how I managed to defeat those three."
Qin Yutong said meaningfully, "The mask I gave you must have come in handy." She said little, but every word struck at the heart of the matter.
Hu Xiaotian even suspected that Qin Yutong had guessed he had rescued Long Xiyue by swapping the dragon for a phoenix. Still, she had no proof and presumably would not pursue the matter. He smiled. "Speaking of that, now that I'm back in the Kang Capital, I'd like to learn some disguise techniques from you, Miss Qin."
"Are you interested?" Qin Yutong asked.
"Interested doesn't begin to cover it. I'm very, very interested!" A sly grin spread across Hu Xiaotian's face.
"Your greed knows no bounds!" Qin Yutong said.
"Don't assume I'm only trying to take advantage of you, Miss Qin. I can teach you about human anatomy. We can exchange knowledge, and neither of us will lose out."
Qin Yutong's delicate brows drew together. "Not interested!"
"Really?" From what Hu Xiaotian knew of her, Qin Yutong constantly sought to refine her medical skills and had an intense thirst for knowledge. Before he left the Kang Capital, she had repeatedly expressed a desire to compare medical techniques with him.
Qin Yutong changed the subject. "Did you meet Mr. Liu of the Divine Farmer Society when you went to the Yong Capital?"
Hu Xiaotian bowed deeply to her.
Seeing him suddenly offer such a formal bow, Qin Yutong could not help smiling. "Why such ceremony?"
"Thanks to you, Miss Qin, I found a path forward. When I was at my wits' end in the Yong Capital, Mr. Liu helped me, all out of regard for you. Of course I must thank you
