Actually, the only person who could really find Shen Qingdai was Brother Jin. She believed that Shen Qingdai would put her guard up against everyone except him.
“Of course I was calling for Dai’er. There is only one Dai’er in this world. Who else could I be calling?” Xi Jin looked at Shen Yunya and gave her a gentle smile. “Pei’er is Dai’er. Don’t think too much.”
He shouldn’t be thinking so much. Dai’er had already been found. How could anyone else be Dai’er? If he was indecisive, Ya’er would behave like that as well.
Thinking about it, Feng Tianlan’s aggressive attitude was nothing like Dai’er. Pei’er, on the other hand, might have been influenced by her previous life, which caused her attitude to change.
Upon hearing Xi Jin’s words, Shen Yunya’s heart clicked as she said with a laugh, “Alright. Since we found Elder Sister, isn’t it time for us to head back?”
She couldn’t keep behaving suspiciously about her identity, or else Brother Jin would definitely find out. Recently, she kept trying to convince Brother Jin that Shen Qingdai was still alive, and filled him with hope and desperation, which was why he acknowledged Tu Xiupei.
Brother Jin was smart. If they didn’t head back as soon as possible, her plan would fail once Brother Jin saw through Tu Xiupei.
Besides, now that Feng Tianlan was no longer a suspect for the real identity of Shen Qingdai, she decided not to bother about her for the moment. But she had never failed before, so when they returned to Xuantian Continent, and when Si Mobai was not around her anymore, she would send someone to assassinate Feng Tianlan.
Once that happened, she wouldn’t be able to pose any threat even if she was really Shen Qingdai.
“Alright.” Xi Jin replied. If he were to stay any longer, he was afraid he might subvert his own beliefs.

Feng Tianlan closed the door. Her cold front and sarcasm disappeared instantly. She was extremely exhausted. What could she do to prevent Xi Jin from getting hurt and cheated by others?
If this were to go on, she was afraid that she might not be able to hold it in and reveal something accidentally. That would ruin his life and bring herself to a dead end.
Feng Tianlan sat by the bed as she held Si Mobai’s hand, placing it on her cheek. “Mobai, what should I do?”
She wasn’t strong enough yet. When she faced them, she couldn’t even protect herself, much less get her revenge or protect others. How was she going to fight alongside Mobai?
Si Mobai remained in deep slumber for three days. When he came around and opened his eyes, he saw Feng Tianlan sitting by his bed, holding his hand in hers while resting her head in his palm. The orange candlelight embellished her face, making her much more stunning.
He moved his hand slightly as he tried to withdraw his hand from her small one. However, he saw her move slightly as she opened her eyes and looked at him with those sleepy eyes. “Mobai.”
“Uh-huh,” Si Mobai replied gently. He looked at her closing her eyes once again.
After a while, Feng Tianlan opened her eyes once again. She raised her head and widened her eyes, staring at Si Mobai who had a smile on his face. She reached out and pinched his face uncontrollably. The warm sensation made her felt wake up completely. “Mobai, you really woke up.”
“I made you worry.”
Feng Tianlan shook her head and stood up. However, her legs went numb after sleeping on her front, which resulted in her almost falling onto the ground. Si Mobai reached out to support her immediately. “Lan’er.”
“My legs are numb,” Feng Tianlan said immediately.
Si Mobai wrapped his arms around her waist from the back. He applied force to his arms and dragged her back onto the bed. She fell on top of him.
“Mobai!” Feng Tianlan called out in surprise. She was on top of him, her face just half an inch away from his. She felt his breath on her face, and it made her felt rather itchy.
