Xuan Yue let out a soft sigh and said, "How could I not know that your na is Ah Dai?" As soon as she had finished speaking, she realized her slip, her face changing slightly as she hurriedly corrected, "My na is Xuan Re."
Ah Dai stared at Xuan Yue, perplexed, "Xuan Re, do you know ? I find you very familiar, but I just can’t rember having t you before."
Xuan Yue smiled faintly and replied, "Although we have never t, I had already heard of your na. You might not know , but you should recognize my younger twin sister."
"Your twin sister? May I ask, who is your sister..." Ah Dai seed to grasp sothing, yet he was not certain.
Xuan Yue inwardly cursed Ah Dai’s dense nature, "My sister is Xuan Yue! How could you not rember her?"
Ah Dai gasped in astonishnt, exclaiming involuntarily, "What? You’re Yue Yue’s brother." He leapt excitedly from the ground, his voice rising sharply.
Seeing the excitent on Ah Dai’s face, Xuan Yue inwardly smirked and stood up, looking up at him—he was more than half a head taller—and teased, "Yes, that’s right! Do we really not resemble each other that much?"
Suddenly eting Xuan Yue’s brother left Ah Dai so agitated that he was at a loss for words, murmuring, "You do look alike, really alike. Xuan Re, is Yue Yue doing well?"
Xuan Yue watched Ah Dai’s flushed face, the familiar look stirring ripples in her heart, and she gently asked, "Do you still rember her?"
"Of course, I rember," Ah Dai blurted out. After speaking, his whole body trembled, suddenly feeling how much he missed Xuan Yue. A confused look appeared in his eyes as he gazed at Xuan Yue with surprise, muttering to himself, "No wonder, no wonder you look so familiar. So you are Yue Yue’s brother, Xuan Re. Please, don’t misunderstand—I’m just good friends with Yue Yue, nothing more."
Although Ah Dai’s last words caused a slight pain in Xuan Yue’s heart, she could tell from his awkward expression that he was not being entirely sincere; he still rembered her! At least he still rembered. With a sigh, Xuan Yue said, "Ah Dai, I was actually afraid that you would have forgotten my sister! It was her who asked to find you."
Ah Dai shuddered, asking eagerly, "Yue Yue, was it Yue Yue who asked you to find ? Is she, is she doing well?"
Xuan Yue nodded and replied, "Yue Yue is doing fine, she has been studying Light Magic with the Pope. We are twins from the sa mother, the closest of kin to each other. Yue Yue told all about you. Since I happen to be traveling, she entrusted to find you. But I didn’t expect that the mont I saw you, you nearly got yourself killed."
"So Yue Yue has been practicing magic!" Ah Dai’s voice carried a hint of disappointnt. mories of the tis they had spent together ca flooding back, and he beca a bit dazed, with the image of Xuan Yue’s enchanting smile flickering before him.
Watching Ah Dai’s expression, a wave of emotion surged deep within Xuan Yue. Seeing his puzzled look, it seed he had kept her in his thoughts as well!
"Ah Dai, what’s the matter?" Xuan Yue took a deep breath, calming the turbulence in her heart before asking softly.
Startled, Ah Dai shook his head and said, "It’s nothing. Xuan Re, how did you manage to find so easily? Does the church really have information as to my whereabouts?"
Xuan Yue smiled slightly, shaking her head, "The church doesn’t know where you are, but sothing else does. Look." She said, pulling the Phoenix’s Blood from her neckline.
The red gemstone sparkled with a familiar light, and as if seeing that beautiful, mischievous girl again, Ah Dai instinctively grabbed Xuan Yue’s shoulders, excitedly exclaiming, "Yue Yue!"
Xuan Yue’s heart skipped a beat, wondering if Ah Dai had recognized her. Looking into his excited eyes, she tentatively asked, "Ah Dai, what’s wrong?"
Realizing his outburst, Ah Dai quickly released his grasp on Xuan Yue’s hands, "Sorry, I was too impulsive. Just now, when I saw the Phoenix’s Blood, I mistook you for Yue Yue. You siblings really do share a lot of similarities!"
Xuan Yue breathed a sigh of relief, her heart brimming with excitent. She was now certain that Ah Dai held her in his heart. Since he had not recognized her yet, there was no rush in telling him; she might as well tease him a bit. The mischievous spirit that had disappeared for three years returned to Xuan Yue’s mind. She smiled and said, "Ah Dai, that was really not proper of you. If I had truly been your sister, wouldn’t that have been quite impolite?"
Hearing Xuan Yue’s words, Ah Dai’s face instantly turned red, stamring, "I, I just... I haven’t seen Yue Yue for a long ti and I missed her. Xuan Re, you won’t tell her about this, right? I, I..."
Xuan Yue, seeing the embarrassnt on Ah Dai’s face, felt a twinge of compassion and smiled, "It’s fine, I was just teasing you. Don’t worry, I won’t tell my sister."
Relieved, Ah Dai murmured, "You and your sister both have such similar temperants, both so fond of playing pranks. By the way, Xuan Re, you said you found using the Phoenix’s Blood, how does that work?"
Xuan Yue replied, "The Phoenix’s Blood and the Dragon’s Blood are a pair of connected Divine Artifacts; they can use corresponding spells to locate each other. Well—to tell you the truth, not only did my sister entrust to find you, but Yue Yue also longs to traverse the continent with you. However, our father is very strict with her, so she can only send to fulfill this task instead."
