"I don’t doubt you, it’s just..."
Shi Yuezhu had a faint smile on her face.
She realized if her expression was too serious, Shen Han might misunderstand her as being angry.
"I actually know what’s going on between you and Xilan.
The two of you have never crossed the line, I know all of this."
At this point, Shi Yuezhu paused for a moment and looked at Shen Han.
"Even though you didn’t intend to, I noticed Xilan she..."
Before Shi Yuezhu could finish her sentence, Shen Han interrupted.
"Fairy Xilan is very kind. Back when we were at the Shen Mansion, without her help, I might have had a worse time.
It’s just that some things can’t be said for sure..."
Hearing this, the faint smile remained on Shi Yuezhu’s face.
Under the moonlight, she reached out and touched Shen Han’s forehead.
"Don’t worry, I don’t plan on pushing you away.
I’m not generous to that extent...
All those years, Xilan helped you a lot, so it’s time to repay that favor.
She has a Secret Realm that hasn’t been solved for years.
So, I was thinking, Shen Han, you’re so skilled at solving Secret Realms,
perhaps you could lend a hand.
After this, shall we set off for the Divine Land, would that be okay?"
This was probably the first time Shi Yuezhu made a request of him.
Regardless of whether it was for Liu Xilan or Shi Yuezhu, Shen Han had no reason to refuse.
"Are you going to go to the Secret Realm with us?"
Hearing Shen Han’s words, the smile on Shi Yuezhu’s face grew wider.
"Of course, I’ll go with you both, unless you expect me to leave you two alone together?
I wouldn’t want to..."
When there were no outsiders, Shi Yuezhu seemed to have a bit more playfulness about her.
This was rarely seen in front of others.
The biggest difference between love and friendship is the nature of exclusivity.
No one likes to share a partner with others; naturally, the heart desires to possess the other entirely.
"Then that’s no problem, let’s pick a time to set off."
While speaking, Shi Yuezhu hesitated for a moment before continuing.
"Could we invite Tianxing too? I heard you had some conflicts with him in the past.
This time, could he come along with us?"
There were only a handful of encounters between Ye Tianxing and himself.
Their discord only stemmed from his friendship with Shen Ye.
"If he’s willing, I’m certainly open to it.
After all, I am now his elder, so I have to give him some leeway."
Upon hearing this, Shi Yuezhu gave Shen Han a somewhat helpless glance.
Shen Han was impatient; he’s already starting to refer to himself as an elder.
"Since you’ve agreed, I’ll talk to them both about it tomorrow.
At that time, don’t let the Secret Realm remain unsolved.
If you claim to be an elder, you should show some capability."
Shi Yuezhu said with a smile, and Shen Han nodded with a smile.
The two of them continued chatting until midnight.
Fortunately, the bright moon was high, so even at midnight, it was still bright outside.
When they returned to the room, Shen Han continued to pretend he wasn’t aware of the time.
After a moment, Shi Yuezhu couldn’t help but speak up, "It seems a bit late."
Seeing Shen Han not responding, she continued, "The next room is ready. You can go and rest."
Despite two sentences, Shen Han acted as if he hadn’t heard a thing.
Just sitting in the room, somewhat being stubborn...
