If Shen Qingdai was still alive and possessed her previous memories, then she would only trust Brother Jin. That meant she would tell Brother Jin the truth, right?
“How can she be Dai’er? She is not even one ten-thousandth of Dai’er.” Xi Jin’s gentle eyes carried hints of hatred and disgust for a split second as he thought about Feng Tianlan removing Tu Xiupei’s Cinnabar field.
Shen Yunya felt a sense of relief after seeing Xi Jin’s disgusted expression. Then she asked casually, “Then just now?”
Brother Jin’s reaction was the appropriate reaction. His reaction proved that Feng Tianlan was not Shen Qingdai.
“She destroyed Dai’er’s Cinnabar field.” After saying that, Xi Jin didn’t only feel disgusted, but was also carrying hints of murderous aura. He would never allow anyone to hurt Dai’er.
Shen Yunya raised her head and said in a sweet voice, “There must be a reason for that. Besides, it doesn’t matter if Elder Sister doesn’t have her Cinnabar field. Brother Jin will never abandon her right?”
Xi Jin gave out a soft “uh-huh”. When he thought about Dai’er, the murderous aura in his heart disappeared completely.
“Brother Jin, we still aren’t completely sure that Tu Xiupei is Elder Sister. So, I think it’s better for us to take our time here and investigate this matter thoroughly. If she really is Elder Sister, then we will go back straightaway. We will also avenge Elder Sister and get justice for all the grievances she has experienced. However, if she is not Elder Sister…”
She stopped speaking midway through her sentence; however, her message was clear.
Xi Jin gave it a thought and nodded. “Alright.”
The Xuantian Continent was too far away from the Guiyuan Continent. If they wanted to investigate this matter thoroughly, this would be the best place to do it.
Although he was eager to find Dai’er, he couldn’t let anyone pose as Dai’er as she pleased. If he were to find out that anyone had been posing as Dai’er, he would kill that person!
After hearing what Feng Tianlan had said, Xi Jin had begun to suspect that Tu Xiupei was not who seemed to be. He quickly hurried back to his room without Shen Yunya. He wanted to ask her something.
As he pushed the door open, Tu Xiupei was dressed in fiery red. When she saw him, she was smiling happily, her expression bright like sunlight penetrating straight into his heart.
“Brother Jin. Do I look good in red?” Tu Xiupei was holding her red dress as she turned around and laughed happily.
Someone had told her that Dai’er’s real name was Shen Qingdai. That person even told her personal things about Dai’er—like her preferences and habits. One of the things that were mentioned was the fact that Shen Qingdai liked the color red, whether it came to a dress, shoes, hairband, or even a simple handkerchief.
“Nice. Dai’er, you look good no matter what you wear.” Seeing this as soon as he entered the room, Xi Jin felt as if he had been transported back to the time when he first saw Dai’er wearing red at the age of ten. Back then, she was also smiling brightly while asking him the same question.
The only difference was that Dai’er’s voice had been a child’s. And the words she had said were, “Brother Ying said it looks good as well. He likes me in red. He said I looked like a bride.”
Tu Xiupei let out another laugh and let go of her dress. “Actually, I didn’t like the color red at the beginning, but it slowly grew on me. Brother Jin, am I very fickle-minded?”
To be honest, she hated the color red because to her it was the color of blood. Besides, red was the color liked by that despicable Luo Yunzhu.
However, since Shen Qingdai liked it, she would wear red for Brother Jin.
“No, because this is just the way you used to be.” Xi Jin reached out his hands as though he wanted to touch her face. But his hands halted halfway. Her clothes were the correct kind, her smile was the same as well. She looked exactly like Dai’er, yet he felt like something was missing.
“Brother Jin?” Tu Xiupei hid the disappointment in her eyes and acted innocent and curious.
That person had told her that Shen Qingdai was very innocent. She had been a very harmless person with no ulterior motives or even a morsel of shrewdness.
