Gu Jue grunted in agreement. "There are loose ends to tie up."
He didn't seem inclined to explain how, so Lu Sangjiu didn't press the matter.
'Well, the whole thing was a bit convoluted, and I didn't manage to make Gu Jue owe me a favor like I'd planned, but... we're comrades who've faced life and death together, right?'
With that, Lu Sangjiu comforted herself and committed fully to her "innocent maiden" act.
Her face was pale and weak, but her expression was filled with gratitude. "Thank you so, so much. I'll never forget your kindness... May I know your name?"
But Gu Jue flatly refused. "There's no need. We're even."
Lu Sangjiu: "..."
'This guy... I really want to punch him!'
But she gave up. She really couldn't stand this taciturn, hopelessly blunt man, so she couldn't be bothered to play games with him any longer.
So she put on a disappointed expression. "If you don't want to tell me, then never mind... In that case, farewell."
