Chapter 764: Old lady 764 said
When Ye Jiu, Ye Bai, and Ye Hei t again in the alleyway, Ye Jiu brought up an old topic again, “How did you two find your way here?”
Exchanging glances, it was Ye Hei who spoke, “We accidentally overheard so things being said at ho last night, so we knew that the master was going to the capital city, and that she would not return to the Ye Family afterward. So, we ca to find you.”
Ye Jiu frowned, “Who’s been spreading such nonsense!” In Ye Jiu’s heart, the Ye Family was her true ho; how could she possibly not return? It was a joke!
Without hesitation, Ye Hei said, “The old lady said it.”
Of course, what they had heard was the conversation between the He family and old man Ye, and then they guessed the rest themselves.
The mont she heard it was the He family that said it, Ye Jiu felt a sting in her heart.
However, she still felt, deep down, that the He family wouldn’t be so heartless.
So, it must have been these two birds talking nonsense.
After all, how could birds understand human feelings? Thus, it was inevitable that they would misinterpret others’ intentions.
“Let’s go. We’ll first free the sweet potatoes, then return ho,” Ye Jiu said.
At that mont, Ye Bai spoke up, “Master, soone’s been following us. Should we deal with them first?”
Ye Jiu frowned, “Who is it?”
Ye Bai smiled slyly, “People who ca out of the post station. Ye Hei and I managed to shake off the ones following us when we transford, but the ones tailing the master are still here.”
Ye Jiu glared at him, “If you knew people were following you, why did you transform? Humans are cunning, you know. Even if you managed to lose them, it doesn’t guarantee they won’t deduce sothing from it.”
After all, two eagles were following closely behind her, but after a round trip, they had transford into two tall youths. This was clearly signaling to others that sothing was amiss!
Ye Bai and Ye Hei hung their heads in silence, chastened.
Seeing them so silent after her scolding, Ye Jiu suddenly felt a pang of heartache.
In the world of beastn, things were much more straightforward: the strongest physically was the leader, without all these human intricacies and evasions.
Moreover, they hadn’t been in the human world for long and had always lived as eagles. It was inevitable that they would not consider everything thoroughly in so matters.
At the sa ti, Ye Jiu also blad herself for thinking that having the Golden Finger made her different from others but had overlooked the saying, “Caution is the parent of safety.”
She wasn’t alone; behind her was the Ye Family. She had no capital to expose herself and couldn’t afford the consequences of being exposed.
“Alright, since soone’s following…” After pondering for a while, Ye Jiu said, “I’ll take you guys shopping!”
Ye Bai and Ye Hei’s eyes lit up.
Shopping was sothing they had only heard about—how bustling the human markets were—but they had never had the chance to experience it for themselves!
Ye Jiu’s decision was also made after careful consideration.
She had to return to the Ye Family in the evening. Although spring had begun, the night air was still very cold when windy. She just had to stand by the Ye Family’s front door, and she didn’t believe her mother wouldn’t feel pity and let her in.
As for the sweet potato matter, it would have to wait since soone was following them. She would find a suitable opportunity to retrieve it later; after all, a two-day delay in sweet potato seedling cultivation was no big deal.
Ye Bai’s personality tended to be more extroverted and sowhat naive, whereas Ye Hei was a bit colder but also quite innocent.
It was the first ti the two eagles were going shopping, and their curiosity was piqued by everything they saw. Ye Jiu had to keep running over to the stalls to grab them, or else they would have been lost who knows how many tis!
