There were several points in Wu Long's story which stirred Hong Yue's interest, like what happened to the person he was originally chasing when he caught Crooked-Step Vagrant, or the person who the fruits were stolen from after that. Wu Long gladly answered those questions which led to more stories that gradually changed the theme from one to another.
Engrossed in the stories he told, and lost in the moment, she had yet to realize it, but this was another new experience for Hong Yue.
The conversation they were having had no 'value' by the standards she lived by her whole life. There was no real goal to it, nor was there any kind of important information exchanged in it. They weren't debating a clash of opinions like they did before either.
It was a simple, casual talk.
