"Ah, I see," Damn. So much for trying to find a way to politely turn down the offer. And it was Guangyao who was offering. Surely the other man had no ill intention in wishing to give him any of it. But-- With the implication that it was drugged-- Did that mean that Guangyao was simply preparing him for what would inevitably happen in this land? Or was there a more devious intention afoot? Did Guanyao want to have him affected by such things?! What did Guangyao want from him!?

His cheeks were red. Avoiding eye contact as he nodded his head in response.

This was Guangyao. His sect leader Guangyao. His savior Guangyao. There was no way he could deny anything from him!

"Then I am grateful for the offer. I could never turn down a meal that you have prepared. Thank you."
