Sikong Ren was frankly confused.
He did not understand why Hou Ruyen was so reluctant to share such information with him. Sure there were troublesome people like his uncle, Sikong Yong and his pretty Shige, Zhang Wang but Hou Ruyen should not count among those people.
Sure, she might be secretive in general, but he had a specific skill that should have worked wonders on her.
The key words are 'should have'.
But supposed he can't be opposed to an enigma and channel from time to time, otherwise the world would grow stale.
He made a trip down to Yinsi in search of some rare jewels or materials, something both eye-catching, beautiful and odd all at once. Hou Ruyen's tastes were exceptionally peculiar and he had taken a long time to learn and understand them.
