"I have not mistaken you for someone else."
"You are Princess."
Wu Ming looked incomparably aged, yet her voice was vigorous and resonant.
For some reason, her words made people feel at ease.
But.
I didn't believe her outright. Anyone who believed her outright would be a fool. I tilted my head slightly and looked at Ye Qingxian, a smile blooming across my face before I spoke. "Senior Sister, were you afraid I'd be too bored in the cave dwelling, so you found someone to play with me and cheer me up?"
The woman had come with Ye Qingxian, so the answer was already obvious.
It had to be Shuang Yue's constant foolish tinkering. Even the pure and holy Ye Qingxian had been infected by it—she had now simply found someone to put on an act and join forces to fool me.
The key was, I truly didn't know this person. It could be said that I had never seen her even once in my life.
Ye Qingxian put on an innocent expression. "It wasn't me."
She had been startled.
She had merely been kind enough to lead the way. How had she gotten dragged into this?
She hurriedly drew a line between them. "Junior Sister, believe me. I didn't know her at all before this. Why would I find someone to cooperate in putting on an act?"
Wu Ming formed a spell with her fingers, and her face changed. She was precisely the strange old woman from yesterday who had been walking a dog.
"We met briefly yesterday."
"There were too many eyes and ears then, so this subordinate did not recognize you."
My brows furrowed slightly. My gaze was blank as I answered, and I could only look toward Ye Qingxian as if pleading for help.
Ye Qingxian
