“Throwing the question out there lets people fill in the blanks.”
This trick had helped Ye Yu solve countless problems, a veritable all-purpose weapon. But this time it seemed to fail.
Han Yuexi snorted coldly, yanked Han Qianzhang by the collar, and said in a low tone “I slept for ten thousand years and no one in the Celestial Realm knew of our relationship. On what basis do you claim someone attacked him because of me?”
Ye Yu’s heart tightened. Damn, had he gone too far?
He forced himself to steady his posture and stared into Han Yuexi’s eyes without flinching. Showing weakness now would be immediately exposed.
Feigning ridicule, he replied “Those who think themselves clever often die fastest. Do you truly believe your relationship could remain hidden from everyone? Or that you can manipulate Heavenly Secrets to block all deductions?”
Han Yuexi fell silent for a long moment, then turned to Han Qianzhang: “Give the Divine Physician a communication stone, then return and wait for me.”
“Oh!”
Han Qianzhang produced a communication stone from his storage ring and held it before Ye Yu with both hands, still supremely respectful.
With a flourish of his sleeve, Ye Yu accepted it, his heart leaping. He must have slipped past her suspicion!
Seeing this, Han Qianzhang prepared to leave, but before departing he added anxiously “Sister, the Divine Physician truly is a good man. You mustn’t give him a hard time!”
“Scram!”
Han Yuexi’s reply was as icy as ever.
Han Qianzhang dared not tarry and hurried away, the divine-seal barrier around them dissolving at the same time.
Ye Yu began to weigh whether to harvest some of Han Yuexi’s negative-emotion points. High-level deities often yielded massive amounts. But after consideration, he abandoned the idea. Though Han Yuexi’s attempt to pluck his demonic horns on their first meeting was forward, she bore him no ill will. Using Flying Waterfall Three Thousand Feet on her would feel inappropriate. On account of their past encounter, he would spare her.
“Huh, why are you coming closer?”
Han Yuexi stepped before him, her tall figure nearly eye-level with his. “Do you have any other matters? Or is there some ailment you wish me to treat?”
