Lu Sangjiu was surprised that even the normally honest Gu Jue wasn't letting her off the hook.
She fell silent for a moment, then decided to stop trying to make excuses.
"Fine, I lied. The truth is, I wanted to enter the small world by myself. I didn't want you guys coming in and fighting me for stuff. I'm just that selfish. Got a problem with that?"
Xie Ningyuan: "..."
Gu Jue: "..."
Naturally, neither of them believed she was lying because she wanted to hoard everything for herself.
After all, they had known each other for so long that they were confident in her character.
However, her saying this was a clear sign she didn't want to explain. They feared that pressing her further would be pointless.
And so, the two who had been demanding an explanation shared a tacit understanding and chose not to press the issue.
Xie Ningyuan turned to look at the small path before them. "Ye Zhiyao went that way. Should we follow?"
