Lin Yun had not expected Zhen Li to be even more straightforward than he had imagined.
This forthright nature did not bother Lin Yun, but his silence for a while led Zhen Li to mistakenly think she had been rude, and she quickly said, "Sorry, I accidentally asked something I shouldn't have."
Zhen Li simply felt that this Daoist Shi Jian also had a sense of familiarity, and as they chatted, she forgot what could be asked and what could not.
She was just curious, as the contest for the cauldron was a game among the major forces—someone like Shi Jian who had to conceal his identity would not find much significance in it.
But since Shi Jian had come, he must have his reasons; driven by curiosity, she had asked him about it.
After asking, she realized her mistake and hastily apologized.
However, to Lin Yun, this seemed somewhat pretentious.
"I hadn't expected someone could act so smoothly and naturally, this individual's acting skills are no less than mine," he thought.
