Seeing Chu Shangli remained silent, Gong Yitianhe sighed: "I'm sorry, did I make you hear something uncomfortable?"
"I'm not uncomfortable—I'm just surprised. Why are you telling me this...?"
"Nothing, just intuition." Gong Yi Tianhe said softly, "When you reach a certain level in martial arts, your brain can no longer keep up with your body. Instead, what you can truly rely on is your intuition—this intuition even precedes thinking."
"So, does your intuition tell me that I'm a good person?"
"At least he's someone you can trust—there's no need to over-investigate someone who should be trustworthy."
"Then your intuition is really not accurate enough." Chu Shangli said self-deprecatingly.
"No, my standards for trustworthiness may actually differ from those of ordinary people. After all, being around swords for so long has distorted my values. To be frank, no matter how gentle and modest I appear to others, what I trust and rely on most is the weapon in my hand and a position that can deliver a fatal blow. For anyone else, these two things are no more important to me than anything else."
"So... the reason you think you can trust me is because I broke your sword, and you're temporarily treating me as a meal replacement?"
"I'm still not sure if it was you who broke my sword—although my body and every nerve in my body have made this judgment, but ultimately we have to go through our formal competition to confirm it completely." Gong Yi Tianhe was silent for a moment, then asked, "I have a question for you—"
"Me too."
Gong Yi Tianhe blinked and made a "please" gesture.
"You ask first, and then I'll tell you my question."
"Why did you choose to ride in the same car with me? I'm a dangerous person, huh? Isn't it more important to protect your fiancée right now?"
"It's precisely because I want to protect Xiaoshi that I chose to ride in the same car with you. You're out of my sight. With the strength you've shown, you might take Xiaoshi hostage."
"Didn't you say earlier that relationships between people should be based on trust? And you even said that your intuition tells you that I can be trusted. Your actions and words are quite contradictory. Besides, if you're so worried, why don't you stay in the car with your fiancée and me?"
"Because I have something I want to say to you alone, and my usual behavior probably won't make Xiaoshi misunderstand that I'm cheating..."
"Ah, ah, I really want to record what you said and send it to Ouyang Huanshi. Her face will definitely be very happy..."
"But the person you really want to target isn't Xiao Shi—Ouyang Huanshi—but Chu Moyin, right?"
"Huh?" Chu Shangli's eyebrows twitched slightly.
"Did I guess your expression right?"
“…”
Chu Shangli knew that he was probably overly sensitive because of the experience of being seen through at a glance yesterday. Now Gong Yi Tianhe just said a casual word, but he was distracted for a moment.
However, her past life experiences allowed her to immediately weave a suitable lie...
So, she allowed herself to reveal a sad expression.
"Is it about the master you mentioned?"
Chu Shangli pondered for a moment and replied, "I don't want to say."
"Ah, this statement seems to be a tacit agreement." Gong Yi Tianhe raised the corner of his lips: "The direction is correct. However, if I were you, I might choose her sister Chu Shangli as the starting point for this issue..."
