"He and I are... are..." Xiaofang felt a bit embarrassed to answer, after all, this was such an unprecedented matter.
Because she was famously pure and known for being conservative, this development was bound to shock the Great Elder.
"What is it?" The Great Elder anxiously asked.
He had already guessed the nature of their relationship but wanted confirmation from Xiaofang.
"We're a couple!" Xiaofang answered with her head down.
This matter might disappoint the Great Elder. After all, many elders in the valley had high hopes for her and didn't want her to become entangled in such relationships too soon.
"What! Does the Valley Master know about this?" the Great Elder asked, looking shocked.
Xiaofang was the "close maid" to the Valley Master, responsible for taking care of him. Now that Xiaofang had left the Valley Master, he wondered if she had eloped or had obtained permission; hence, he wanted to clarify things.
