The latter became hesitant and averted her gaze as she revealed. "Actually, my given name was Li Mengxi, but later on, that name was changed to Li Xue after reaching adulthood. Only a few, like my cousin, Liu'er, still remember as Mengxi."
"I see…" As Lin Fang nodded in understanding, Li Xue then looked back at him, "By the way, how come you never called me back after exiting the Stellar Rift? My uncle asked for you."
"Well…" Lin Fang became awkward at that; he didn't want to cause trouble for her by pointing at Yujing and others who abandoned him. He isn't some tattletale. Moreover, he knew that he wasn't strong enough to outrightly offend experts either. "I was busy with other personal matters. I'll come at a later time."
Zhi Yan and Li Liu's faces hardened at his reply. They were told about the betrayal, but Lin Fang didn't seem to tell Li Xue, making them wonder whether it was out of courtesy for a friend or if he really developed feelings for her.
