Chu Jiang put down the teacup in his hands: ‘After all this time, you’re still obsessing over this?’
Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes: ‘Because no matter how I think about it, it doesn’t make sense. Not everyone can withstand the baptism of Yuan Sword Qi. And to form a blood pact, her blood energy and mine must merge perfectly, which is in itself a miracle. At the beginning…it was you who took her to the sword grave, wasn’t it? Tell me, who exactly is she? And what is your purpose?’
Chu Jiang laughed and said, ‘Could you please move the sword next to my neck first. This really isn’t a suitable position for a calm conversation.’
Jiang Yu put away the sword and sat opposite Chu Jiang, staring at him.
Chu Jiang tapped his forefinger against his forehead and said, ‘Let me think, where should I start?’
Jiang Yu: ‘…’
Chu Jiang said, ‘Ah, in order to save my life first, I’d better show that I mean no harm.’
Jiang Yu: ‘…’
Chu Jiang: ‘You can ask Hualing yourself about our relationship. Based on our relationship, I definitely won’t lie to her or harm her. And of course, I won’t harm you either.’
Jiang Yu’s forehead veins bulged: ‘This is called an explanation? !’
Chu Jiang shrugged: ‘How would I know if she is willing to share our story with you, right? If you gossip behind someone’s back without their consent, what kind of character would that be?
Jiang Yu sneered: ‘Although I haven’t studied your language for long, I know that “gossip” isn’t used like that.’
Chu Jiang showed an expression of appreciation and clapped his hands exaggeratedly: ‘You are worthy of being the ancient sword spirit, your comprehension is extraordinary. When you first woke up, you couldn’t even speak a word!’
Jiang Yu’s veins bulged again: ‘…’ How dare he mention it! If it weren’t for the fact that he had just woken up and was still in a state of confusion, he would have let this person do whatever they wanted! But Hua Ling did deserve credit for being able to communicate with ordinary people so quickly and without any barriers.
After all, she had patiently spent two months teaching him the current language, writing system, local customs, and everything else…
Thinking of Hua Ling, Jiang Yu’s expression turned cold: ‘Don’t change the subject!’
Chu Jiang spread his hands: ‘I’m not changing the subject. Really, when she wakes up, you can ask her. I think she will definitely tell you.’
Jiang Yu: ‘…’
