After He Yingyu finished speaking, she didn't give Chen Dengming a chance to respond and leaped away.
Chen Dengming opened his mouth and extended his hand, before sheepishly withdrawing it.
He had wanted to say, since they weren't discussing matters of the heart, could they discuss his trip to Nanxun to be her protector.
But before he could speak, He Yingyu scampered away like a rabbit.
This... he hadn't even had a chance to feel awkward yet.
He had planned to comfort his senior sister, who rarely showed her feelings, with understanding from his own past experience. But she ran away immediately.
This senior sister, although she indeed seemed to have no experience in love, insisted on pretending to be mature.
"Hehehe, Daoist friend Chen? You're back? How's it that you managed to upset our esteemed Master He and make her run away?"
At this moment, an inappropriately timed voice came from the entrance of a nearby cave dwelling.
