Jialan gazed at Liu Ming, her beautiful eyes flickering with a strange light, but it quickly vanished as if hidden, and she murmured softly:
"Uncle Master Ye usually does not like to associate with others in the sect, perhaps because we both hail from Cloud River, we get along quite well... I can see that Uncle Master Ye... Uncle Master Ye has deep feelings for you. All these years, she has been waiting for you."
"I..."
A complex expression flashed across Liu Ming's face, as if he wanted to say something but for a moment didn't know how to begin.
"Actually, we've been getting along well all these years, if you wish for the two of us to be together... I wouldn't mind..." Jialan, however, extended a pale finger to stop Liu Ming's hesitant words, her face slightly flushed as she spoke softly, her voice barely louder than a whisper by the end of the sentence.
"Jialan..."
