Capítulo 161: Unexposed

Jing Mo was momentarily stunned, but then a wave of elation washed over him. 'Xia Xin trusted me!'

"Thank you for your trust," Jing Mo said softly.

"What's there to thank me for? You trust me too, don't you?" Xia Xin responded. He'd shared his own secrets with her as well.

"Guess we're both in the same boat, aren't we?" Jing Mo managed a wry smile. He faced dangers because his family pressured him to return home, while she was at risk due to online rumors that branded her a Beast Master. 

"I'm a bit concerned," Xia Xin confided, her face clouding over. "Sun Hu came over earlier to discuss this. He said he knows how to handle it, but I'm not fully convinced. One person's explanation can't silence everyone. If someone with ulterior motives catches wind of this, I won't be safe."
