The cave was silent, filled with a subtle atmosphere.
Ye Chutang blinked, a faint smile playing on her lips.
"You've always been perceptive, Princely Heir. Nothing escapes your notice."
She shifted slightly, finding a more comfortable position as she leaned back against the cave wall.
"You were outnumbered. Even with your exceptional martial arts, Princely Heir, I feared you wouldn't be their match. Moreover… you've only just recovered from a serious illness, which would have made it even harder to handle them. My method might have been crude, but it was effective. You won't hold it against me, will you, Princely Heir?"
'Hold what against her?'
She had saved him, even getting injured in the process. By any measure, her actions had been impeccable.
All Shen Yanchuan could do was accept the favor and thank her.
But the words of gratitude caught in his throat, and he simply couldn't get them out.
"You could have dodged that. Why didn't you?" Shen Yanchuan asked.
