Doubt

Jin Xiao Chai gawked at Shi Mu, stunned, as an expression of complicated sentimentality crossed her visage.

Shi Mu's eyebrow was raised in surprise as well. Knowing how trigger-happy Jin Xiao Chai was in the past, she shouldn't hesitate to punch him in the face right there and then even if they weren't enemies.

But now that they had slumped into an awkward staring contest, he didn't really know what to say without Jin Xiao Chai breaking the ice first.

She stared at him for a long while before finally tearing her eyes away as she started, "I didn't expect to see you here."

"Me neither, Sister Jin. In fact, I'm surprised that you raided the Transcending Heaven Immortal Cult's troops," Shi Mu replied. "I thought the Transcending Heaven Immortal Cult and the Heavenly Demon Sect are working together?"

"Working together? We don't even share the same conviction—we're just using each other," Jin Xiao Chai replied flatly.

Shi Mu wasn't shocked at that answer. He merely nodded.
