Yanbai was adept at reading people.
All along, Yanbai had understood his own situation. Most people, male or female, could not help becoming entranced when they saw him.
But Mito Uzumaki's reaction was different.
Although Mito Uzumaki concealed her emotions, Yanbai still noticed them.
Mito Uzumaki was deeply conflicted, and she seemed to want to keep her distance from Yanbai.
