"Nan Feng, is there someone in your heart? There's a sparkle in your eyes like peach blossoms," Lina inquired.
Dragon Third responded with a quiet laugh, but he didn't deny or affirm anything.
Lina blinked her eyes playfully, "Word around Jianghu from the lads is that you've been close to a young lady recently. Have you taken a shine to her?"
Dragon Third was silent again.
Lina sighed, "You're a hard man to please. You weren't enticed by the flirty shopkeeper from the Inn, you didn't fancy Xue Chen's sister Xue Ling, you bemoaned the brothel lady's life, and refused the princess who wanted to elope with you three years back. Do you know what people in Jianghu are saying about you now?"
"And what would that be?" Dragon Third took a sip of tea, his handsome face emotionless, his eyes still cool. He was the kind of man to whom both love and hate cling.
"People in Jianghu are spreading the rumor that you might be gay, that you prefer men."
