At a crucial moment, the owner interrupted their conversation. Noticing that two people were missing from their seats, the owner exclaimed in surprise, "Where are the other two guests? Should I remove their bowls and chopsticks?"
"No need," Ying Ziping replied first, his face still bearing a gentle smile, his eyes also showing politeness as he looked at his boss. "They went out to take care of some business and will be back soon. We have something to discuss here, so would you mind leaving for a moment, boss?"
Ying Ziping made no attempt to hide his meaning, proactively suggesting that the shop owner leave. The shop owner was taken aback; he was already prepared to answer the question, but now he was being told to leave. But how could he argue with a customer? He nodded blankly, then turned and went back to the back.
Xu Yuehuai put down her chopsticks and looked at Ying Ziping with deep eyes. "Tell me, what exactly do you want to do? Or rather, what do you want us to help you with?"
“Actually, I don’t think this matter is important, because you didn’t pass the test I gave you. You don’t have this spirit of unity, so you don’t deserve it.” Ying Ziping spoke very bluntly, even more bluntly than before, with the same expression on his face.
Shi Mu felt that when she first saw Ying Ziping, he was a gentle older brother, but now he had become a wicked illegitimate son who wanted to use tricks to rise to power. Just a few words and a glance were enough to change his identity.
But all of that seemed less important. What he said really shocked everyone. Xu Yuehuai's guess was right. She pressed him for an answer: "You're not Ying Ziping either. Who are you?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Ying Ziping's eyes. He looked up at Xu Yuehuai, his surprise mixed with disbelief. "I didn't expect you to have such abilities, to be able to observe such details. Since you've said so, what should I do? I've suddenly become a little interested in you again. I think if it's you, I wouldn't mind letting you be the protagonist in my drama."
Shi Mu felt that the person in front of him was talking incoherently. He couldn't understand what Xu Yuehuai was saying, let alone what this madman was saying. It was like a conversation of the century.
“I’m not interested in your drama. If you don’t reveal your purpose, I think you probably won’t be able to continue down this path.” Xu Yuehuai had no intention of letting this person go. Letting go of the potential danger around him would only create a dangerous environment for himself and plunge him into greater danger.
Ying Ziping chuckled twice, the chuckle lacking its previous purity and carrying a tone unique to him. "That's probably not up to you, but I'm very curious to know how you discovered that my identity was suspicious? What did I do to arouse your suspicion? This is very important to me, and I'm eager to know the secret behind it."
Xu Yuehuai picked up her teacup, took a slow sip, and everyone looked at her, including Shi Mu and Fu Ziyi. She put down the cup and said with a hint of disdain, "When you think you're being convincing, that's when you'll reveal your flaws."
Ying Ziping shook his head. “Wrong, wrong, wrong, completely wrong. I’ve never pretended. I’ve always been like this. It’s just that you noticed something different about me compared to him, which is why you noticed the anomaly. Actually, I’ve always been like this. It’s just that I wasn’t familiar with you before, but now that I know what kind of person you are, I’ve become interested in you.”
Ying Ziping spoke casually, as if it were a trivial matter that didn't even need to be discussed openly. In fact, he wasn't lying; it was his nature. Furthermore, Xu Yuehuai hadn't known him well, having only met him once or encountered him a couple of times. Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken so long to realize that this person had a problem; he should have noticed something was off much earlier.
"Think what you want, it doesn't really concern me. But I want to tell you, don't try to use your inappropriate ideas on me, it will only thwart your plans." Xu Yuehuai said nonchalantly. At least Ying Ziping had helped them in some ways. Without Ying Ziping, finding this Youfu Inn wouldn't have been so simple and easy.
Outside, the two slayers were pulling hard on the arm of the black slayer, saying, "You need to learn from your partner next door. You can't be so unwilling. You have to cooperate with me properly so that we can get what we want."
Hei Sha couldn't help but expose her, "It should be that you can get what you want, not us. You've misspoke."
Bai Sha chuckled twice. Once outside, she watched Xu Yuehuai's every move like a voyeur. She planned to sneak in at night, take Xu Yuehuai away, and make her her own. Naturally, the two of them overheard everything they said inside. It wasn't difficult for Bai Sha to hear these words; she just needed to use a little trickery.
What's wrong with her wanting to know more about Xu Yuehuai? She likes Xu Yuehuai and wants to understand her; Bai Sha feels there's nothing wrong with that. When she hears the people arguing inside, her eyes even show a hint of excitement. As long as they fall out, Xu Yuehuai will go with her! That couldn't be better.
But later she found out that wasn't the case, and with a hint of disappointment in her eyes, Hei Sha bluntly commented, "She's no good. She's too arrogant. Keeping someone like that around will only be a disaster. I will not agree to you doing such a thing."
Bai Sha found Hei Sha's words strangely familiar. She muttered to herself, "Don't you think you're acting like a wicked parent who doesn't want their child to be with their loved one?"
Hei Sha turned to look at her, as if she were an idiot. For a moment, he really didn't understand why he had followed Bai Sha here as if he were torturing himself. He knew that this guy wouldn't say anything nice to him, but he still followed him. What else could this be but self-torture?
"You think I'm prejudiced against her? Can you stop being so vulgar? Do you think everyone's like you, unable to resist a pretty face?" Black Fiend was very talkative when he was with White Fiend, but he only started chattering when he thought White Fiend was being unreasonable. "She clearly knows Ying Ziping is a bad character, but she's still so self-righteous, thinking she can handle everything. Even with Ying Ziping by her side, she doesn't know what that man will do or whether he'll do anything to their advantage."
