Seeing Meng Hao's expression, Hanxue Shan was about to open her mouth and say something, but then had a sudden thought. A look of pity appeared in her eyes.
Sighing to herself, she thought, "His smile seems normal, but he's obviously covering up his jealousy of Grandmaster Pill Cauldron. It's so obvious!" Then she thought about how he had saved her twice, and how he wasn't really very disagreeable in general. And of course there was the scene from the battlefield which kept playing out in her head.
Her heart suddenly softened.
She thought of Meng Hao's words and bearing from moments ago, and then realized she had actually embarrassed him a bit, which was why he had reacted in the way he did. "There's no need to feel frustrated," she said comfortingly. "Grandmaster Pill Cauldron is a rare talent in the world. Ai, don't let yourself feel discouraged."
