Instead, it made her think her intentions had been too obvious and Lin Xin had noticed.
Although Lin Jialu did not know much about Yue Chen's current circumstances, he had at least still been single the last time she exchanged letters with Li Xin.
So... was Lin Xin doing this to help us grow closer? Lin Jialu took a porcelain bottle filled with pills from the box before her, unscrewed its cap, and lightly sniffed the faint fragrance wafting out as she inspected their quality.
They really are much better than the ones he sent before. Their effects should be stronger too...
Did Lin Xin make these himself? Lin Jialu wondered. After all, Master Lin's name had been famous throughout Aimei City back then, and pills he personally refined always fetched high prices at auction.
Unfortunately... Yue Chen doesn't seem to have much interest in me.
Lin Jialu casually set the porcelain bottle on the table and took a perfectly smooth parchment scroll from the Storage Ring on her finger.
Although Lin Jialu had been somewhat surprised that Yue Chen actually wrote back to her, the polite distance in his words was even more pronounced than her own.
Confidentiality requirements prevented Yue Chen from telling Lin Jialu anything about himself, especially since she was Li Zhengzhi's personal disciple.
Thus, Yue Chen's letter merely touched briefly on how he was doing, then wished her further progress in her cultivation and continued advancement within the Magic Temple.
Still as cold and distant as ever.
Lin Jialu had long since memorized the contents of the parchment scroll. After taking it out, she did not unroll it, merely staring at it in a daze.

Dark clouds filled the sky,
