Jiang Chengyun reacted in such a way that Jiang Qiulan immediately realized the ambiguity in her own words, pursed her lips slightly, and was just about to explain further.
Shen Yi took down the Black Blade and placed it on the table, "Is this an item belonging to an old friend of yours?"
He remembered how General You had also stared at the blade for a long time, and added to that the way this woman had casually swept her gaze across his waist when they met in the broken temple.
There was also that slightly strange feeling from before, when the woman occasionally cast a glance at him as if recalling something.
Shen Yi, who habitually remained alert at all times, couldn't possibly miss these things; he had just been too indifferent to bother with them before. Now that the other party had brought it up, he wasn't one to be petty.
"..."
Jiang Qiulan was slightly startled and then nodded gently, "Mhm."
