Pang Qingyun looked at Uncle Yin in surprise. Uncle Yin gave a slight nod. "Our master has already sent word. This woman will arrive at Biyou Academy within three to five days. If we play this card well, we can completely keep Xu Yi in check."
Pang Qingyun was overjoyed.
Bai Menghui said, "There's something I don't understand. Uncle Yin, what exactly did you learn by having me use this woman to test Xu Yi?"
Uncle Yin said, "I only wanted to see how much this woman matters to Xu Yi. The more clearly we know, the more effective this decisive move will be when we play it."
Bai Menghui said, "When I brought her up, Xu Yi was quite calm. He said outright that he had his own way to rescue her. He wouldn't even trade her for the young master's two magic treasures. Doesn't that mean he doesn't care all that much?"
Uncle Yin shook his head. "The less he appears to care, the more he cares. If Xu Yi truly didn't care, he'd have negotiated with you, offering to trade her for one magic treasure and asking how many spirit stones or Golden Wish Beads he'd need to add for the other. But you brought her up so abruptly. Although he realized it was a test, he couldn't answer easily. If he pretended not to care at all, it would seem too false. If he showed too much concern, he'd fear we might find a way to get this woman into our hands. So he only said he had his own way to save her—a grudging response. But that answer revealed that he'd given the matter far too much thought. And the more thought he gave it, the more it showed how much he treasured her."
