Can't the two of you get along?
Gu Haitang maintained her usual calm demeanor as Chu Xuan invited her to sit down and took out a tea set, imitating his master's way of entertaining guests.
As Haitang watched his leisurely movements, she said, "You know what I want to ask."
Chu Xuan nodded, "Regarding Qingqing's background, after careful consideration, I feel I shouldn't hide it from you. I'll start with how I met her."
With a narrative tone, he recounted his experiences since leaving the mountain.
Of course, any part involving flirting with the Demoness was completely omitted by Chu Xuan, making the story sound more normal.
However, there was a flaw in the story that left Gu Haitang puzzled:
"Why did you travel with her? Just because she tricked you once, you feel forced to keep your promise?"
Chu Xuan couldn't exactly say he wanted to extract intelligence on the evil cult from Qingqing, so he nodded reluctantly.
