The calm tone held no ripples, the gaze did not wander, and there was certainly no guilty demeanor.
All of Gu Tong's expressions were completely taken in by Qiu Xue.
Qiu Xue understood Gu Tong; she had always been an open and honest person, with everything written on her face. Even if she had worries, she couldn't hide them.
Likewise, this is precisely why Qiu Xue could manipulate her so effectively for so many years!
Qiu Xue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, all her original anxiety vanished into thin air. Her body felt somewhat weak, and she almost simultaneously sat under the birch tree.
Gu Tong glanced at her and teased, "So even the goddess can let go of her image."
"Sister Gu Tong, you're always teasing me." Qiu Xue pouted and said pitifully, "Being with Sister Gu Tong, who needs an image? Comfort is most important."
