"Oh?" An Mengni tilted her head and said, "And who might you be?"
"Let me introduce you. This is Daoist Qingxuan, the chief of Tianshu Pavilion. She is my cousin, An Mengni, whom I've mentioned before." Yu Hongyin stepped forward, worried that An Mengni might say something inappropriate, and reminded, "Daoist Qingxuan is also Mr. Chen's partner."
"So it is Daoist Qingxuan. I've long admired your reputation." An Mengni cupped her hands in respect.
Ling Ningzhi nodded slightly in return.
"By the way, when I went to seek reinforcements and returned, you had vanished. What happened in between?" Yu Hongyin inquired.
"It's a long story. Chen Mo temporarily drove off Wanqi Kai, but he was greatly exhausted and feared that he might return, so we decided to leave first and found a mountain cave to sleep for the night," An Mengni explained.
Ling Ningzhi's eyebrows arched as she bluntly asked, "The two of you slept together?"
