"But is that whelp really investigating me because someone issued a task for my whereabouts, or is it just this whelp's doing? This whelp, he couldn't possibly think I'm a human demon, could he..."
Just at that moment, a crisp feminine voice broke Yi Chen's train of thought.
Shui Lingyue, hugging Yi Chen's neck, suddenly spoke, "Yi Taoist, the thing you wanted to tell me last night when you came in was that, if you're just a little careful, you can take me to escape, right?"
At this thought, Shui Lingyue's pretty face once again became vibrantly flushed.
Yi Chen didn't answer; he simply planted a mua on her cheek and said in a gentle voice, "The moonlight tonight is truly beautiful."
Fledglings at such times would foolishly try to explain, but a true master speaks through actions.
Explaining would lead to an endless vortex of inquiries, entangling one in an awkward atmosphere. To divert attention and aim at another target is simply the template answer.
