In fact, he was sorrowful because of Feng Ruqing. But, he looked at Nan Xian first before turning back to Feng Ruqing. Hence, people could easily misunderstand.
"Then, why are you still peeping at my state preceptor?"
Jiu Ming was speechless.
'I'm peeping at… Nan Xian?'
Jiu Ming's facial expression changed drastically. There was utter disdain in his eyes. "Who are you talking about? He and I? Why do you say that I'm peeping at him? I don't have this kind of disgusting behavior."
"I heard from the people of Paramount that you don't like women but you like only men."
Jiu Ming was confused.
"You looked at the state preceptor sadly just now. That's why I have misunderstood," Feng Ruqing said as she shrugged.
Jiu Ming did not know how to respond to that.
He froze and looked at the state preceptor. He could not help but imagine himself being together with another man because of what Feng Ruqing said.
