After all, this was the first time she had ever seen a flower that could bark like a dog.
It was best to keep such a rare creature a secret.
'Lest... it embarrass her. No, wait, that's not it. Lest others grow envious and target her for it.'
She could even hear Jin's aggrieved, angry whimpers.
Then came two more indignant barks.
"WOOF WOOF WOOF!!"
'How dare you hit me! You actually hit me!'
Unfortunately, its plaintive cries received no response.
Su Ye had just stuffed Jin back into her space when she looked up to see Xue Liang had arrived.
Dressed in blue robes with a jade coronet in his hair, he appeared in the clearing, as dashing and elegant as ever.
His gaze first fell upon the Thousand Entwining Vine next to Su Ye, now shattered into pieces. Then, his cold eyes swept over her.
He spoke.
"It was you."
The words seemed to imply that she was the one responsible for the Brahma Flower at the Book Collection Pavilion.
