"Do you still have friends in Jin City?" Mu Xiaoyao didn't mean to complicate things.
Turning around, he started to walk downstairs with Baili Xia: "Who sent you something?"
Looking at his demeanor, he clearly intended to accompany her.
Baili Xia hesitated briefly before revealing: "It's from Mr. Jin."
Mu Xiaoyao paused, stopping in his tracks.
The moment he halted, Baili Xia almost crashed into him.
Baili Xia quickly stopped as well, reining in her steps just before she might have bumped into his back.
She looked up at him with narrowed eyes, "What's the matter? I almost bumped into you."
"Didn't you just say 'almost'?" He didn't give a hoot, scrutinizing the look in her eyes.
"Dongfang Jin sent you something? What exactly did you two talk about?"
Earlier today, when he had brought her back from the grove of trees, Dongfang Jin had said something similar before leaving.
Something about fulfilling a promise he made to her. What had she asked him to promise?
