"What lovey-dovey?" asked Yun Xiaoyao while trying to decipher what he was told. Oblivious to the fact that he was being teased upon.
He may have an explicit connection to someone but he was born and raised in a Cultivation World. The humor of Chu Yan and the humor of Myriad Martial World are different.
Chu Yan looked at him with an incredulous face, looking at him like he was an idiot. It is the barrier of culture and tradition that he cannot speak of what his ideologies and philosophy are.
Yun Haoran can adapt to any environment he was exposed to, Hong Tianya needed to learn the environment before acting in her philosophy mixed with the different concepts. Chu Yan underestimated the culture and influence of Myriad Martial World so much he will not try to change his ways.
There is a certain reason why he would meet Yun Xiaoyao in this pub. It is to straight up use him; suck him like a parasite.
