Throughout the journey, Li Xuan made an effort to strike up a conversation with Meng Qingfan.
"Are you a member of the Jinque Palace? I saw your name on a wanted poster there once, Meng Qingfan, the Time Spear."
"That's right, Dongfang Liang is your senior brother, isn't he? He has always served under my command. Although we used to be enemies, our current rapport is pleasantly good."
"If I may ask impudently, where have you been hiding today? I haven't heard any news about you."
Li Xuan could assure himself he had no ill intentions, and he held no reckless thoughts. He simply thought that it was a pity to miss the opportunity to recruit such a highly skilled individual under his command.
Since he had already sheltered Dongfang Liang, taking in Meng Qingfan as well shouldn't be an issue.
However, after saying a few words, Li Xuan's expression subtly changed. He leaned in close to smell Meng Qingfan's neck and then looked puzzled.
"Lady Meng, have we met before?"
