No one knew better than Chu You how insightful her master was.

Moreover, Yun Banjian had just awakened white spiritual power in his body that made evil cultivators wary, so he probably already sensed the "abnormality" of him and Ji Chen's group.

“Master, there are many things I don’t want to say, but I can’t say them.”

You... understand, right?

Whether it was Chu You's imagination or not, after she finished speaking, she actually read a hint of disdain in Yun Banjian's unchangingly calm eyes.

Just as she was trying to comfort herself, telling herself it must be an illusion, she heard Yun Banjian say in a calm and unhurried tone:

"What should I understand?"

Am I supposed to understand why you suddenly became involved with a large group of imperial prodigies of unknown origin and mysterious identities, and why they regarded you as their dream lover?

Or should I accept the fact that you're only just an adult and you're telling me you have feelings for several people of the opposite sex at the same time?

But then you turn around and get entangled with that agent who has absolutely no connection to you, unable to let go? You even slept together?

Or perhaps I need to figure out why, ever since you met that certain Ah-Chief, you've become so neurotic, like you're possessed, even more bizarre and mysterious than those guys from the Lightel family!

Faced with Yun Banjian's barrage of questions, Chu You was speechless and couldn't utter a single word.

He inwardly groaned: "Oh my god, please, don't be so direct!"

With each word Yun Banjian uttered, Chu You's expression grew increasingly uneasy and awkward.

At this moment, if it weren't for the fact that the surrounding environment was really inconvenient for escape, she probably would have already made a run for it, wishing she could immediately turn into a turtle and hide away and never be seen again.

"Master, this is in public! Can't you wait until we get home to give me a good scolding?"

Chu You subconsciously reached out and gently tugged at Yun Banjian's sleeve, her face full of embarrassment.

"Oh! You actually know what embarrassment is?"

Yun Banjian raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looking at the person in front of him with a half-smile, but his gaze seemed to drift casually to the side, landing on the figure who also seemed somewhat restrained and uneasy—it was Ye Xincheng.

"The young master of the Ye family must have quite an impressive background. He might even be one of your many close male friends. So what's there to be embarrassed about?"

Yun Banjian continued to tease, his words carrying a hint of mockery.

Upon hearing this, Chu You blushed instantly and hurriedly waved her hands, explaining, "No...no! Absolutely not! Master, please don't talk nonsense!"

After saying that, she forced a smile at Ye Xincheng, looking rather embarrassed, and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, you must have found this amusing. My master isn't usually like this; he's probably been tormented too much by those guys from the Wright family lately, to the point that his mental state isn't quite right."

Ye Xincheng didn't say much upon hearing this, but simply nodded slightly to indicate that she understood.

However, in the instant he lowered his head, a fleeting, almost imperceptible look of melancholy flashed across the depths of his eyes, but it quickly vanished as before.

Chu You did not directly deny Yun Banjian's claim that there was some inexplicable feeling between herself and Ji Chen and the others; however, when it came to her relationship with Ye Xincheng, she drew a clear line without hesitation, her attitude unusually firm.

Such a stark contrast seems to say it all.

Love or not, it's really obvious.
