Fang Mu understood Qi Yue's meaning, but he felt Qi Yue was overthinking it.
Sect Master Xiao Xiang was a measured person and would naturally know that it was inappropriate to stand by his side while he and Qi Yue were conversing.
Before Qi Yue could speak, Fang Mu exchanged a meaningful glance with Xiao Xiang, and Xiao Xiang smiled as he said,
"Sir Jianmu, the garden here has a delightful environment, with so many rare flowers in bloom. May I take a stroll through your garden?"
"Many of these flowers are ones I've never seen before."
Sect Master Xiao Xiang's words eased Qi Yue's mind. When she spoke with Fang Mu shortly, her words would entirely align with Fang Mu's stance, establishing a subordinative dynamic between them.
Qi Yue certainly did not want their relationship to be revealed to outsiders!
Fang Mu knowing about her betrayal of the Emperor Beast Court's interests and other forces knowing—they were two entirely different matters to Qi Yue.
