“Should I feel honoured then?” Yang Kai sneered.
“That’s not what I meant. This Mistress simply doesn’t want to wander the Star Boundary alone, the Star Boundary is much more dangerous than the Star Field after all…”
Hearing this, Yang Kai suddenly became interested, “You know something about the Star Boundary?”
“I don’t know much, but I believe it should be more than you,” Liu Xian Yun smiled slyly.
Yang Kai snorted, “You also know that our Star Field has been closed off for ten thousand years and naturally have very limited information.”
Saying so, he simply sat down cross-legged. Since he was sure that this Liu Xian Yun was not hostile to him, Yang Kai didn’t bother putting up his guard and instead focused on recovering his strength.
“If Brother Yang wants to know what this Mistress knows, I can tell you. Consider it a bit of sincerity from this Mistress,” Seeing Yang Kai relax, Liu Xian Yun realized he was at least willing to hear out her proposal, so she couldn’t help but smile.
“There’s one thing I don’t understand,” Yang Kai said lightly, “How did you find this place?”
“Oh, I came out of the Void Crack nearby, and just saw a beam of starlight fall around here, so I thought some kind of treasure had appeared and came to take a look, but I found Brother Yang healing here instead,” Liu Xian Yun laughed lightly.
Yang Kai instantly looked a bit depressed, realizing that his actions earlier were a bit hair-brained. Fortunately, only Liu Xian Yun had been attracted, if it had been a powerful enemy the consequences would have been disastrous.
“We should find another place to talk then!” Yang Kai pondered for a moment before deciding it wasn’t safe to remain here any longer.
Liu Xian Yun nodded, “Agreed!”
Saying so, the pair flew up into the sky and rushed towards the depths of the mountain range.
Somewhere a few thousand kilometres away, inside a cave, Yang Kai and Liu Xian Yun sat facing each other across a dozen meter gap.
Yang Kai went straight to the point and asked, “I have a question I need to ask you.”
“Please feel free, Brother Yang,” Liu Xian Yun lifted her hand and brushed her hair back behind her ear charmingly.
“Why did you think of working with me? We were enemies just a moment ago,” Yang Kai looked directly into her eyes, as if trying to see into the depths of her heart.
Liu Xian Yun smiled lightly and replied, “Because I think Brother Yang is not a wicked person but rather trustworthy.”
“Oh?” Yang Kai sneered.
Liu Xian Yun said sternly, “This Mistress is not a naïve little girl. After living for so many years, I have gained some ability to see through people, and while I dare not say my judgement is always right, this Mistress can at least weigh things fairly. Brother Yang’s previous actions in the Starlight Corridor were all witnessed by this Mistress, so I believe you’re a man of heavy affection and righteousness, on top of being quite capable!”
“The latter being the main point,” Yang Kai spat disdainfully.
Liu Xian Yun nodded and said, “I won’t deny that, but if you weren’t a man of principles, this Mistress wouldn’t have taken the initiative to propose we cooperate.”
“Well, since you are an honest and upfront woman, it would only make me seem petty if I were to continue doubting you,” Yang Kai nodded. “You and I can cooperate, as I also want to know more about the Star Boundary, but you should remember well… If one day you dare to stab me in the back… heh heh heh!”
Yang Kai’s grin caused Liu Xian Yun’s tender to shiver inexplicably, and she quickly nodded with a straight face, “You may rest assured, this Mistress is not someone who engages in treachery.”
“That would be best!”
“So we have a deal?” Liu Xian Yun looked at Yang Kai with a smile.
Yang Kai nodded.
