She was quite certain that she hadn't done it; if it wasn't her, then it was only the fifth brother.
The fifth brother gave her a dismissive look, as if to say, "It's no big deal."
This...this...
Yi Yi tugged at Lao Wu's sleeve and pointed at those people, "What's wrong with them? Why did they suddenly start fighting like this? Why, why did they suddenly start fighting amongst themselves?"
The fifth brother's gaze fell on the hand that Yi Yi was using to tug at his sleeve, and he frowned slightly.
This person is so unpredictable, one minute he's all sunshine and rainbows, he's impossible to figure out. Yi Yi loosened her grip on his sleeve, pouted, and said, "I won't touch you anymore, now you can tell me, right?"
After a pause, there was still no movement from Lao Wu. Just when Yi Yi thought he wouldn't speak again, Lao Wu finally spoke up calmly, "It's nothing, just some little tricks."
"Such a clever trick! Teach me!" Yi Yi stretched out her hands, smiling sweetly and winking.
That smile, like the warm sun in winter, instantly shone into Lao Wu's heart. Lao Wu didn't know what was wrong with him; his heart suddenly started beating faster.
Ayu told him that women were all snakes, cunning, and vicious, and that all women in the world were the same. He believed Ayu and had always looked down on women until he met this woman.
Every smile, every gesture, every movement of hers was deeply etched into his heart.
Feeling uncomfortable being stared at so openly by Yi Yi, he turned his head and explained, "It's an illusion."
"Illusion?" Is this the illusion that old man Ah Bin just mentioned?
"Yes, Ayu taught me."
Yi Yi said "Oh" and tactfully put her hand down.
Ah Yu is their leader. According to those people, not everyone is qualified to learn illusion magic. Of all his followers, Ah Yu only taught the fifth one. How could she, a prisoner, be qualified to learn?
"Don't you also think I'm ridiculous and cheap?" Old Wu's tone suddenly turned somewhat self-deprecating. But in his expression, there was clearly an expectation, a worry that the answer he was afraid of wouldn't be what he hoped for.
He actually had worries...
Yi Yi wondered if she had misread things. She must have been mistaken. Although she had been in the human world for a while, she was still not very good at reading people's expressions.
“Why would I think you’re ridiculous or cheap?” Yi Yi denied. “You easily beat them to a pulp, that’s awesome!”
God knows how much she wanted that skill!
Upon hearing this, the fifth brother's lips twitched, as if he were smiling. "I believe you."
"Um?"
“I believe you are telling the truth. You really don’t think I’m ridiculous.”
At this point, Lao Wu's gaze drifted away, and with it, his thoughts drifted as well.
“Actually, what Ah Bin just said is true.”
Yi couldn't tell what Lao Wu's expression was when he said this, but she was still shocked that he could so calmly admit that those insulting words were true.
“I got separated from my family when I was very young. Now that I think about it, I don’t know if I was really separated or if I was deliberately abandoned. I waited for them for three whole days, during which time I could only survive on food given to me by passersby. I was so hungry and cold that I almost fainted, but they never came back to look for me. Perhaps they never even thought of coming back to look for me.”
Yiyi: "..."
