Because Chen was a woman, Xie Xin did not want to give up. Instead, he moved closer to Chen, sniffing her scent and saying, "You have the scent of a wolf demon on you."
"You're human, how could you smell that?"
"I'm talking about the scent, not the demonic energy," Xie Xin stated directly.
Chen was speechless.
Outside the temple.
The wolf demon inadvertently overheard Xie Xin's voice and immediately stood up, saying, "Stay here, I'm leaving first."
The Yin Messenger was stunned and grabbed the wolf demon's calf, "Where are you going?"
Wolf demon: "I'm going to relieve myself."
"Relieve yourself..." The Yin Messenger repeated, then chuckled, "Relieving yourself is different from leaving first. Tell me, what's your relationship with the young lady inside?"
The wolf demon hadn't expected the Yin Messenger to be so gossipy.
So, he pointed at the hand the Yin Messenger had on his calf and said, "Let go first, and I'll tell you."
"Don't lie to me," the Yin Messenger looked up, his eyes full of curiosity.
The wolf demon smiled, "I won't lie. Let go, and I'll tell you."
"..." The Yin Messenger hesitated, then finally let go, "Go ahead."
Wolf demon: "I have no relation with her." After saying this, he glanced deliberately towards the dilapidated temple and turned to run.
Seeing this, the Yin Messenger was stunned. He quickly stood up and was about to call out when Xie Xin's voice came from behind him, "Wolf demon, is that you?"
Hearing this, the Yin Messenger's body stiffened. He turned to look at Xie Xin, who was standing at the entrance of the dilapidated temple, peeking out towards them. He frowned and quietly left.
Because it was too dark, Xie Xin felt a sense of dread towards the environment, so she didn't move.
At the same time, Chen walked behind Xie Xin and said, "I told you I hadn't seen him, but you didn't believe me."
"..." Xie Xin's eyes darkened. She turned to look at Chen, "I just don't believe you."
"If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself," Chen deliberately pointed outside.
"I'm not going," Xie Xin replied. Then, she pushed Chen away and walked inside.
Lin Yan ignored the situation, standing by the table and looking down at Xiao Zeng, who was still staring at him. He frowned and asked, "Young lady, why are you looking at me?"
"I am not a young lady."
"If you're not a young lady, then what are you, a young boy?"
"I am a young boy."
Lin Yan laughed when he heard this, "Young lady, you're quite humorous. You're clearly a girl. Even if my eyes were faulty, I wouldn't mistake your gender."
Lin Yan still found Xiao Zeng familiar, but even so, he didn't believe that the Xiao Zeng in front of him was a boy.
Seeing Lin Yan's serious demeanor, Xiao Zeng thought about his relationship with the fake Lin Yan and decided not to press further.
Seeing Xiao Zeng fall silent, Lin Yan thought for a moment and looked at the fake Lin Yan, "Brother, what's going on here?"
Hearing this, the fake Lin Yan looked up at Lin Yan, "He is indeed a boy. It seems he made a mistake and was punished by a woman."
"A woman?" Lin Yan didn't understand the meaning of the fake Lin Yan's words. He looked at Xiao Zeng again and asked, "Are you really a boy?"
Xiao Zeng nodded.
"Then... what's your name?" Lin Yan still hadn't recognized him as Xiao Zeng.
Xiao Zeng: "My name is Xiao Zeng."
"..." Lin Yan was startled.
Xiao Zeng looked at Lin Yan's surprised expression with confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"
"You're that little beggar," Lin Yan said, pretending to be completely unfamiliar with Xiao Zeng.
Xiao Zeng: "You know me?" He pointed to himself.
"I've wandered around here before, but..." Lin Yan deliberately shifted his gaze to the fake Lin Yan's face, "Brother couldn't see me."
"Brother, you've suffered."
Lin Yan shook his head slightly, "No, I'm already content that you can see me and talk to me like this today." He then put on a look as if he were about to cry.
The fake Lin Yan looked at Lin Yan's expression, then glanced at Xiao Zeng. He stood up and also put on a sorrowful face, "Brother, to be honest, I was almost able to find you."
"Brother, what do you mean?"
"Before, I was killed by a demon. If it weren't for my master, I wouldn't have survived. Later, I'll take you to meet my master. Perhaps he can help you."
"Help me?"
"It's not a solution for you to remain like this. I want you to reincarnate."
Reincarnate?
From the moment Lin Yan was driven out from below, he hadn't dared to think too much about anything else, let alone reincarnation. He thought it would be good enough if he could just go down.
Of course, he knew better than anyone that the person responsible for his current predicament was the person in front of him.
And now, this person was casually saying such things, which made him feel nauseous.
However, in order to drive this person out of his body, he had to continue pretending to be moved, "Brother, thank you."
"I am your brother, Lin Jue. Whatever you like, I'll burn for you tomorrow when we go to the street."
"Burn?" Xiao Zeng frowned, "Are you going to burn dishes to cook?"
Hearing this, the fake Lin Yan glanced at the less knowledgeable Xiao Zeng and smiled, "It means burning things for him with fire, not cooking."
Lin Yan smiled helplessly at Xiao Zeng's innocent look.
The fake Lin Yan also smiled, then turned to look at Xie Xin, who had walked to the table. Before he could speak, Xiao Zeng said, "Didn't you have an unpleasant encounter with that wolf demon before? Why are you still looking for him?"
"Children don't understand," Xie Xin said and sat down.
Xiao Zeng was speechless.
Lin Yan looked down at Xie Xin's unhappy expression and thought of the wolf demon. He remained silent.
The fake Lin Yan said, "Do you like that demon that much?"
"Yes," Xie Xin stated decisively.
At the same time, Lin Yan remembered the dagger and fixed his gaze on the fake Lin Yan.
The fake Lin Yan didn't notice Lin Yan's gaze and took a sip of water.
Meanwhile, the wolf demon, trying to avoid Xie Xin, returned to the street. Just as he caught his breath, he felt the unique aura of the Yin Messenger.
Thinking of Lin Yan's situation, he quickly turned to look at the Yin Messenger who had descended from the sky and said, "Why are you following me?"
"If I don't follow you, I'll be discovered," the Yin Messenger stood firmly.
"What?" The wolf demon didn't understand what the Yin Messenger was afraid of.
Seeing the wolf demon's puzzled expression, the Yin Messenger tutted and explained, "Just after you left, that girl who was looking for you came out. To avoid her discovering me, I followed you."
"Even if you were discovered..." The wolf demon's mouth twitched, "It wouldn't be a big deal, would it?"
"It wouldn't be a big deal, but it would make that impostor suspect Lin Yan."
"No..."
"Lin Yan's current identity is the impostor's younger brother, Lin Jue. He died years ago. If a Yin Messenger suddenly appeared and didn't arrest him, would you dare say," the Yin Messenger said seriously, "that he wouldn't be suspicious?"
