Shen Yue leaned lazily against the apple tree Gu Xi had just spurred to maturity. With one leg straight and the other slightly bent, he tilted his head to look at her. "Today... you're not quite acting like yourself."
They still hadn't figured out Gu Yumin's background, and the Gu Family's intentions were unclear. For Gu Xi to appear before him so rashly was, all things considered, a bit reckless.
Shen Yue looked at her disapprovingly.
With a flick of her fingers, Gu Xi sliced two bright red apples from the tree with a blade of air, washed them with conjured water, and tossed one to Shen Yue.
Shen Yue caught it, raising an eyebrow at her. "So you're not planning on hiding it anymore?" She had just used her Wind and Water Element abilities without a second thought, and there were quite a few people watching them, both openly and in secret.
That little scene just now had probably already been noticed by interested parties.
