"Oh?"
Only then did Chu Bingyan direct her gaze toward Xu Yuan, frowning slightly before shaking her head and saying, "I don't recognize him."
"I've heard that several nights ago, each major stronghold of the Heavenly Machine Tower was attacked, and that on the same night, Master Chu's boudoir was breached by a thief. Is there any truth to that?"
Chu Bingyan's expression remained serene as she replied, "The princess jests, what boudoir? It was merely a temporary dwelling for Bingyan. As for that thief, am I, a Primordial Spirit True Person, not capable of self-defence?"
Jing Lixue did not expose her, but simply looked at Lin Qingque, who remained indifferent, with a smile.
She paced over to the stone chair opposite, leisurely sat down, crossed her hands, and propped her chin on them, murmuring, "Indeed, I might have been overthinking."
"What business does Master Chu have with me?"
"..."
