After the four parted on a happy note, Xiao Yu and Xin Yue went alone to the summit of a deserted mountain.
"Fellow Daoist Xin, what did you want to see me alone about? You can tell me now, can't you?" Earlier, she had sent Xiao Yu a voice transmission saying she wanted a private conversation.
"Brother Xiao, what do you think of Junior Sister Nangong?" Xin Yue asked bluntly.
Years ago, she had noticed that Xiao Yu harbored unusual feelings for Nangong Wan. He had been away from the sect all this time, and now that he had returned, this was the perfect opportunity to ask.
"Whether in character, looks, cultivation, or strength, Fellow Daoist Nangong is first-rate. Few female cultivators in the cultivation world can compare with her," Xiao Yu said seriously.
How could he miss such an obvious intention behind Xin Yue's words? But he no longer insisted on pursuing this matter, so he spoke calmly. Even if his true feelings differed, he still had to give her face!
"Oh? It seems you still think very highly of Junior Sister Nangong, Brother Xiao." Xin Yue smiled faintly.
"But she won't take a fancy to me. I'm afraid your efforts will be wasted!" Xiao Yu curled his lips.
"Why is that? A rare talent like you still doesn't meet her standards? Could it be because of your concubines?" Xin Yue asked in surprise.
"You'll have to ask her! Being outstanding doesn't mean someone else has to like you." Xiao Yu smiled and offered no further explanation.
"How about this? I'll sound her out when I return. Wait for my news, Brother Xiao." Xin Yue tilted her head in thought, still hoping to bring Xiao Yu and Nangong Wan together and deepen his ties with the Covering Moon Sect.
