sect!" "So that's how it is!" Only then did Wei Zhao realize he had misjudged Little Shu. She had not been making a fuss over nothing—she was resisting this so-called betrothal! If it were Wei Zhao in her place, with such a tightening band around his head, he doubted he would bear it any better. "Then shall I go ask Fire Burn Cloud about it one of these days?" "No!" Shen Yushu started in alarm and shook her head hurriedly. "Arrow-Brand Bro, whatever you do, don't ask..." "Oh? What's wrong?" Wei Zhao frowned slightly and looked at Shen Yushu, asking gravely and solemnly: "Little Shu, are you hiding something from me that you haven't told me?" "N... no..." Shen Yushu's face froze, and she stammered. "Nothing?" Wei Zhao drew a deep breath. He had decided to have an honest, open talk with Little Shu. By now Wei Zhao was a Heaven-tier expert, no longer the ignorant nobody he once had been. Whatever difficulties Little Shu was hiding, Wei Zhao wanted to help resolve them and share the burden. And so, word by word, he said: "Last time, you poisoned my tea, and then in the middle of the night you came at me with a knife. I've known about all of that for a long time..." "Ah!" Shen Yushu cried out, her face draining white. She had not expected Wei Zhao to know everything—and in such detail. But why had he never said a word, and instead gone on treating her so kindly? "Arrow-Brand Bro... you knew all along? Then why... why didn't you expose me, and why are you as good to me as ever..." "Little Shu, I believe you have reasons you cannot help, and your heart isn't wicked. You didn't want to kill me, did you?" Wei Zhao smiled. "So I don't blame you. You poured me tea, then knocked it over; you came at me with a knife in the night, then couldn't bring yourself to do it, and told me you were sleepwalking..." "Ah, well—then Little Shu will tell you the truth. But you mustn't tell Sister Yaoyao; she'd only worry." Shen Yushu hesitated a moment before speaking. "Don't worry, I won't tell her." Wei Zhao nodded. "Pinky swear!" Shen Yushu held out her little finger. "Heh, all right." Wei Zhao hooked his finger around hers, then said: "Now, will you tell me?" "I... am actually not Chen Yuxuan's real sister," Shen Yushu said faintly. "I'm not a child of the Chen family. I'm a child the Chen family adopted..." "What?" Wei Zhao was stunned. He had never imagined Shen Yushu was an adopted child of the Chen family, not Chen Yuxuan's blood sister! But this—Gu Mengyao probably did not know it either. "Does Chen Yuxuan know? In your Chen family, who else knows about this?" "Only my grandfather... and me..." Shen Yushu sighed. "Actually, I learned it from other people's mouths, not from Grandfather's."
