"Do you truly know the location of Profound Flame Daoist's cave residence?"
Sun Yuzhi's voice, carried on the wind, suddenly spoke up.
"I have some clues, but I don't know the exact location yet."
Chen Sheng's expression was calm as his arm rested naturally around Sun Yuzhi's slender yet powerful waist.
Sun Yuzhi gave a slight nod, not pressing the matter further. But her topic shifted, her tone unreadable:
"If I hadn't been here today, would you... have accepted Bai Qing's offer of 'cooperation'?"
Chen Sheng's brow rose. He turned to look at her cool profile, his voice tinged with surprise.
"Vice Envoy, why do you ask?"
"I saw your gaze linger on her several times."
Sun Yuzhi's tone was flat, as if she were stating a fact that had nothing to do with her.
"I thought you might have had some 'ideas' about her proposal."
"Vice Envoy, I assure you, that's absolutely not the case!"
