He stopped and craned his neck to look at the young man behind him.
"Chu Qi."
Chu Qi stepped forward immediately. "Yes, Master?"
"I…" Long Yang opened his mouth, then paused.
Chu Qi raised his head and looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
"... If you were a girl, would you prefer entering the palace and becoming the Empress or getting an adopted son-in-law?"
Chu Qi gave a surprised look and reminded him, "I'm a man."
Long Yang, "..."
Would he possibly not know if he was a man or a woman?
He was merely drawing an analogy.
He glanced at Chu Qi, sighing eventually.
Fine, he would pretend that he had not asked.
When they were back in Hidden Dragon Palace, Long Yang retired to his sleeping quarters straight away.
