"Oh, oh, oh!" Dongfang Jian let out a screech like a startled goose, his face alight with excitement. "Then you have truly come to the right person! Old Mu and I grew up together—we’re closer than brothers, we’ve even shared death-defying scrapes! What do you want to know about him? His birth date? His height and weight? His favorite foods? Ask away, Junior Sister! Your Senior Brother will tell you everything; I won't hold back a single detail!"
Jiang Ying felt he was being far too dramatic. Why would she care about such trivial nonsense? She didn't waste any time, cutting straight to the point: "Has Senior Brother Mu Yin always been this diligent with his cultivation?"
The reason she asked was because of that "Sword Shield that appeared out of nowhere," a remark Dongfang Jian had made in passing the other day. Although it had been an offhand comment, Jiang Ying had kept it in the back of her mind. In her secret observations since, she had found some subtle clues, but they always felt elusive or inconclusive. She had hoped to fish for more information from Dongfang Jian.
