"So… why did Elder stop you there?"
As soon as Mo Zhiran made his way down the peak and somehow found the Internal Affairs Pavilion, he spotted both Xiao Lan and Mei Xuan waiting right outside.
The moment Xiao Lan saw him, she immediately came forward and asked with pure curiosity. It seemed she hadn't entered the pavilion at all and had instead waited for him here with Mei Xuan.
Whether that was out of good faith or just to satisfy her curiosity was up for debate.
"Hmm? Isn't it because she wanted to reward me? Why are you still outside, though?"
Mo Zhiran raised his eyebrows and asked back, equally curious.
"Tsk… reward? Who are you kidding with? It's good that she didn't punish you for looking at her like that."
Before Xiao Lan could answer, though, Mei Xuan clicked her tongue and muttered in annoyance as she saw Zhiran return in one piece. She thought he was done for.
Although she mumbled in a low voice, since all of them were cultivators, Zhiran heard her loud and clear.
