Seeing Shen Bai's inquisitive look, Elder Mu waved a hand and said, "You rascal. Every day you're pestering me for gossip, but you haven't understood a thing about my Swordsmanship. And you still put on such a serious act. Your mind is certainly sharp, though. You know how to consider others' feelings."
"Alright, I'll tell you more about these things later when I have time."
Shen Bai put away the wooden box and chuckled sheepishly. "I can't believe you saw right through me."
'He thought he'd put on a convincing act, but he never expected Elder Mu to see his true intentions.'
'But even though Elder Mu saw through him, he didn't call him out on it. Clearly, Elder Mu didn't mind Shen Bai's act of playing dumb.'
