As those words fell, Xiao Ziyan's expression remained solemn, but a hint of gravity crept into her brow.
Xiao Ziyan lowered her eyes in silence. That brief instant felt like an eternity to her.
Her thoughts churned, countless emotions welling up in her heart.
In the end, they became a long sigh she kept to herself.
She answered:
"I saw everything."
Xiao Ziyan could understand how deeply unpleasant it was to have all one's trump cards and abilities exposed to someone who was practically a stranger.
In his place, she would have felt uneasy too.
No one wanted to lay themselves completely bare before another person.
