Chapter Twenty-Eight: Stress Response



Meng Shen was stunned, his pupils widening suddenly: "You... how did you know?"

Seeing his reaction, Tang Yue knew he had guessed correctly. Following this line of thought, he continued to ponder: "Is her excellent shooting skill also related to this?"

Meng Shen was so shocked he couldn't utter a word. The two stared at each other for a long time, then his shoulders suddenly slumped.
