Jiang Wang, trying to probe, asked, "And who might you be?"
"Before asking me more questions, shouldn't you answer mine first?"
Ye Lingxiao spoke in an even tone, yet there was a powerful presence about him that tolerated no refusals.
Jiang Wang originally didn't want to bother, but considering this was Lingxiao Pavilion, and the other party was asking such questions, it was likely related to Ye Qingyu and therefore he couldn't be too disrespectful.
Thus, he replied with practiced ease, "You might have misunderstood, my relationship with Ye is that of a gentleman's friendship..."
"Oh? A gentleman's friendship?" Ye Lingxiao looked at him. "How did you come to know each other?"
