Huo Tingxiao looked at Mu Lan, his usually cold eyes now had a touch of softness.
"What's the matter?"
Mu Lan voiced the doubts in her heart, even though she felt like she might be burning bridges after crossing them.
"It's just that the timing of senior's rescue was too coincidental."
Huo Tingxiao hadn't expected her to say that about Lin Yize, his lips curving into a faint smile.
In fact, Huo Tingxiao harbored suspicions about Lin Yize too, but given past lessons, he didn't express these thoughts in front of Mu Lan for fear of causing unnecessary misunderstandings. Arguing over someone with the surname Lin again was not worth the loss.
"Why would you think that? After all... he did save you."
Mu Lan was no fool, of course she detected another layer of meaning in his words.
Rolling her eyes in annoyance, she pulled a face at Tingxiao.
