Although the question from the white-robed woman took Yi Chen by surprise, it was hardly a challenge for him.
Yi Chen sipped the tea in front of him, his eyes slightly lowered. It took him less than three breaths to look up and reply with a light laugh:
"I didn't expect that Fairy Shiran would be a distinguished disciple of the Heavenly Star Sect, truly a remarkable person who can't be easily deceived."
"Indeed, there was deep meaning behind my deliberate choice of barley as a token of gratitude."
"Fairy Shiran, what do you think barley is?" Yi Chen asked mysteriously, with a glint in his eyes.
"What else could barley be? Isn't it just food?"
Upon hearing his words, Li Shiran couldn't help but be taken aback.
"Fairy Shiran has indeed seen through it all, a worthy disciple of the Heavenly Star Sect indeed." Hearing this, Yi Chen slapped his thigh, gave a loud clap of approval, and continued speaking without keeping her in suspense,
"Correct, barley is food, it's a crop."
