Jian Shisan cared deeply for Yue Xi, but he was also terrified of her.
He had once mentioned this to his friend, the tofu seller, and had asked for advice on how to get closer to her.
The answer he received was to become stronger.
So he focused on getting stronger, all while avoiding Yue Xi.
It wasn't until he reached Tier Seven that he finally stopped hiding from her and could occasionally exchange a few words.
Of course, it also made it easier for him to watch her secretly from a distance.
Standing here so openly now truly made him a little anxious.
Just then, Jiang Zuo replied, "It's not as dramatic as you think. But what did you do to provoke Yue Xi?"
Jian Shisan immediately said, "I didn't provoke her. I just got back."
Jiang Zuo said, "If you didn't provoke her, why won't she see you?"
"She just said she was going into seclusion and even had Xuanwu tell me specifically."
"By name?"
"More or less."
