"Li Chaoxun is the true successor to the Transcendent Immortal Sword Lord," Huang Xiao said.
"I know." Zhangsun Youyue nodded.

Zhangsun Youyue's attitude still left Huang Xiao somewhat baffled. He could have accepted it more easily if she had come to demand an explanation. After all, he had deceived her, so it would have been perfectly normal for her to lose her temper.
