Chapter 290: The Human Heart_2

I had no intention of bothering, but upon further thought, I promptly responded, "Indeed, as a newcomer to the Taoist Domain, I am dazzled by all the novelties around me. I'm not sure who this gentleman might be...?"

"The lady flatters me—I am not worthy of being called a gentleman!"

The man was visibly pleased and quickly said, "My surname is Xu, first name Liang. I am a disciple of the Scholar's Palace's Martial Academy. It is my duty to welcome and guide newcomers to the Taoist Domain. If the lady doesn't mind, allow me to show you around, how about that?"

Yun Mengyao nodded, "Then I shall thank Xu gentlemen for his kindness."

"No need for such courtesy, my lady!"

Xu Liang smiled and then scrutinized her, "May I ask if the lady hails from the Martial Domain or the Demon Realm?"

"Hm!?"

Yun Mengyao's gaze sharpened momentarily before returning to normal, "How did you know to ask that?"

"I didn't really know."
