Xu Yuan was momentarily stunned, then showed a moved expression.
Although he was in a terrible mood,
he had never expected that the Tower Master of Heavenly Machine Tower, of all people, would be so foolishly in love, to the point of risking her life.
"Sorry, I must have held up something important for you."
Chu Bingyan hung her head low, clearly having intended to question Xu Yuan about his younger martial sister just moments before.
But somehow, it had turned into her asking for his forgiveness.
"It's fine, I don't blame you."
Xu Yuan smiled and shook his head, then seemingly offhand he said,
"Speaking of which, were you just thinking about something?"
"..."
Chu Bingyan's fair face instantly flushed at a visible speed.
"Yes, that's right."
Her legs squeezed together slightly, and it almost seemed as if she had begun to rub them together, her head bowed without a word.
"I, I was thinking about what happened the night before last."
Xu Yuan almost gasped in shock.
