Yes!
He thought she was testing him!
Because from anyone else's perspective, although she had said they could cooperate and asked whether he had a third piece, he could completely interpret it as her testing him. If he said he did, there was every possibility that... he would be killed, and both of his pieces would be taken.
She could understand that.
Lan Bingxin then said, "Young Master Ye, I don't know how to explain this to you. I can only say that there is no other scheme. Only you and I know about this matter in the entire world. As for this scroll I possess, even my father and mother don't know that I have it."
Ye Tianyi: "..."
"Miss Lan, I'm not lying to you out of fear. I truly don't have a third parchment scroll. If I did, I'd also hope to search for the Law of Soul with you. Unfortunately, I really don't."
Ye Tianyi shrugged.
Lan Bingxin's eyebrows furrowed.
Could it be true?
No! Not necessarily.
"Look, I even dare to provoke forces like the Heavenly Emperor Palace and the Celestial Domain Firmament. I can refuse to give them face. Do I need to fear you? I truly don't have a parchment scroll."
Lan Bingxin: "..."
What he said did seem to make sense.
But she couldn't completely believe him either.
"Alright, then."
Since Ye Tianyi had said so, Lan Bingxin couldn't say anything else.
"How about we exchange contact information?"
Lan Bingxin asked.
"I don't have any contact information."
Ye Tianyi shook his head.
Her eyebrows knit slightly.
Ye Tianyi really didn't have any. He had never set it up.
"How about this?"
Ye Tianyi then said, "Give me your contact information. Take this."
Then Ye Tianyi placed the parchment scroll on the table.
