Hearing this question, Xue An was taken aback for a moment.
Ye Hanshang’s face was full of mischief, "You two wouldn’t be...."
Xue An immediately shook his head, "What nonsense are you spouting? I’m not that kind of beast, making a move on my brother’s sister! Besides, I already have a wife and kids, okay!"
"That’s true! Then why is she with you?"
"Uh, well..." Xue An suddenly didn’t know how to explain.
Should he say that he picked up Hu Ying from some realm and wanted to send her back, but she refused no matter what?
"Heh heh!" Ye Hanshang had a knowing smile and then gave a thumbs up.
"Alright, old Xue, just admit it! The way that girl looks at you practically tells everyone what’s going on, do you really think I can’t see it?"
"See what?" Xue An continued to play dumb.
"See that she likes you! Tsk tsk, no wonder you’re so impressive! But aren’t you worried that if Huyue finds out about this, he’d come after you relentlessly?"
"Why would he come after me? You, Ye, don’t make false accusations! I haven’t done anything!"
"You’ve done nothing, yet you’re eloping with his sister?"
"It was her insistence on following me, and once everything’s settled, I’ll send her back to Qingqiu!"
Ye Hanshang had a "you think I’ll believe that?" expression on his face.
Seeing this, Xue An decided not to explain further, because he found the more he explained, the more guilty he felt.
Anyway, with a clear conscience, there’s nothing to fear. Instead of making things worse, it’s better to just stay silent.
"To be honest, if there’s really something between you and Huyue’s sister, I guess that rascal Huyue might be a bit hard to accept, but he probably wouldn’t oppose it too much!" Ye Hanshang said leisurely.
Xue An picked up his teacup and took a sip, "Since when did you start moonlighting as a matchmaker?"
Ye Hanshang chuckled self-deprecatingly, a trace of desolation in his eyes, "I’m serious, after all, some things or people, once missed, really can’t be retrieved!"
Xue An looked at Ye Hanshang, who had sunk into reminiscence, and suddenly chuckled lightly, "Honestly, that’s not like you!"
"What style?"
"At least you wouldn’t be sentimental like this!
"Am I being sentimental? I’m just speaking from the heart, alright!"
"Hehe!"
After some playful banter, they exchanged a smile once more.
"Old Xue!"
"Hmm?"
"My two nieces..." Ye Hanshang hesitated.
"What about them?"
"Those two... aren’t ordinary people!" Ye Hanshang said meaningfully.
"Nonsense, daughters of the Red Lotus Immortal Venerable can’t be ordinary, can they?" Xue An joked.
Ye Hanshang shook his head, "That’s not what I mean! Haven’t you noticed these two little girls possess talents that are unique even within The Multiverse?"
Upon hearing this, Xue An’s gaze sharpened, then he lowered his head, lightly stirring the brazier’s charcoal with a silver needle.
"I definitely believe that!" Ye Hanshang nodded, "But the problem is having such extraordinary talents, for those two young girls, it’s hard to say if it’s a blessing or a curse!"
