"So you know each other. Fengxuan, why have you been hiding this from me?"
Master Jing pretended to be angry as he glanced at Lu Fengxuan.
There was a fleeting look of annoyance in Lu Fengxuan's eyes, but she timely lowered her head to cover up the emotion.
"We just happened to meet. It has been many years since I last saw Mr. Lu," she said, skirting the issue.
Lu Xingye slightly bowed his head, then said, "My unexpected intrusion upon Elder Jing is inexcusable. It is getting late, and I should take my leave."
From the corner of his eye, he looked at Lu Fengxuan's profile, feeling somewhat self-mocking in his heart.
Perhaps to her, he was even more annoying than a natural disaster.
Heh, Lu Fengxuan.
"Brother Lu, since we've met by chance, why not join us for a simple meal," Master Jing, always hospitable, insisted on having him stay for dinner since he was already there.
Lu Xingye neither accepted nor declined, creating a subtle awkwardness to the situation.
