How did you, a living person, become so heavily contaminated with Yīn energy?

Fu Changling moved in a stiff manner. He dared not look at Qin Yan.

He was nothing like Qin Yan. In life, there are always ways to safeguard oneself. Qin Yan mastered silence, whereas Fu Changling mastered lying.

He got used to telling lies and masking his expression with a smile. Most people failed to notice it and assumed he was just someone who took everything in stride.

Qin Yan, on the other hand, had mirror-like eyes that could see everything about you, down to the finest detail.

Fu Changling felt completely exposed in Qin Yan's eyes, without any concealment. It took a while before he awkwardly chuckled, then re-stirred the contents of the pot and dumped them onto a plate, exclaiming, "Come, come, come, let's eat, let's eat."

Qin Yan didn't go on, stopping short of saying much.

Fu Changling had everything in this place, including bowls and chopsticks. He handed the chopsticks to Qin Yan and let Tan Xin out. When Tan Xin got something to eat, he gave him face and didn't make any fuss. Without asking any questions, Qin Yan gave Tan Xin a quick glance. Then, Fu Changling realised he hadn't properly introduced the two to each other, so he briefly introduced Tan Xin to Qin Yan.

Qin Yan quietly listened. After finishing his meal, Tan Xin muttered glumly, "I'm full."

Then he returned inside the sword. Qin Yan turned back and fixed his gaze on that sword. Noticing his gaze, Fu Changling wiped his mouth, hastened to pick up the sword, and handed it to him, saying, "Oh, by the way, I don't know much about swords. Can you help me figure out who this sword belongs to?"

Qin Yan was familiar with most of Yunze's well-known sword cultivators, and Fu Changling was curious to find out just who that senior was.

Even though that senior had been providing him with guidance, she had never mentioned her name or background as of yet. Fu Changling understood the other party didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't ask, but he nonetheless harboured some curiosity.

Qin Yan held the sword and examined it for a moment. After a while, he finally shook his head and said, "No idea."

This response took Fu Changling by surprise, and he couldn't help but say, "You're unfamiliar with certain swords too?"

"No idea," Qin Yan repeated as an acknowledgement. Fu Changling couldn't help but become even more intrigued. A sword cultivator that Qin Yan didn't even know possessed top-level swordsmanship as well as a divine soul that would be intimidating even if he was at the Tribulation Transcendence stage and was still stuck in this Cliff of Ten Thousand Bones...

"Shīxiōng," Fu Changling said curiously, "do you know that the Cliff of Ten Thousand Bones..."

At this point, he seemed to remember something and stopped talking. Qin Yan glanced up at him, and Fu Changling smiled. "It's nothing. Let's eat. How's my cooking?"

"Very tasty." Since Qin Yan always speaks frankly, Fu Changling's smile grew even wider. "From now on, I'll cook for you every day."

"Cultivate properly, and don't waste your time." Qin Yan flashed him an indifferent glance. "Don't disgrace Shīfu."

When Fu Changling was told this, he felt a twinge of guilt and quickly buried his face in the bowl and continued to push rice into his mouth with his chopsticks. As he was eating, a gentle female voice suddenly rang in his mind: "Why didn't you just say it?"
