Xue Zhao chuckled bitterly, "Hai Tang, you've been with Jiuyue for so long, what do you think Jiuyue...considers me to be?"
Hai Tang was startled.
"Although I always say that I have a dream of the martial arts world, in reality, I haven't experienced much of the world's affairs. That's why I was easily fooled by Princess Yongning at the beginning. Jiuyue, on the other hand, truly grew up in the martial arts world since she was young. She's seen much more than I have and might see me as a naive youth who knows nothing about the world. If she doesn't like me, and I declare my feelings to her, I'm afraid that we may not even remain friends afterward. But I'm not willing to just watch her from afar, at least not now. I hope to stay by her side. After the situation in Molan has settled down, I'll explain everything to her. That way, even if she wants to drive me away and not see me anymore, at least I can leave with peace of mind."
