The Fox considers a worrying possibility
Chu Yun's mind was still reeling from experiencing such a slew of revelations in such a short span of time.
However, he had come to a devastating conclusion: The conversation Chu Hean had with him in that inn, where he lied about the engagement, had been a test -- one Chu Yun failed.
Perhaps if he had shown more empathy, perhaps if he hadn't treated his brother like a problem he needed to solve, and passed him off into Tan Ruo's hands like a mischievous puppy -- Chu Hean would have opened up to him about his real reason for being in Haolin.
Master Chen led the three of them out of his office, back they way they had come. The night was cold and as these thoughts ran through his head, Chu Yun shivered in his watterlogged robes, being forced to remember every opportunity he had to reach out to Chu Hean, but had dismissed him instead.
