“What are you talking about!”
Bai Tian Yu walked behind Wang Pangzi and gave him a hard slap on the back.
“Hiss, ah!”
Wang Pangzi screamed, clutching his back and glaring fiercely at Bai Tian Yu.
“……………”
Seeing Shirley Yang behind Bai Tian Yu, Wang Pangzi knew that what he had said just now was not very good.
“Fatty, I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm not some kind of spy!”
“In fact, I'm even more pure than you!”
Shirley Yang took out a pendant resembling a pangolin claw from her chest and said.
“This is a Mo Jin Fu, you guys seem to not have one, right?”
“Just kidding, who doesn't have a Mo Jin Fu?!”
“As if I don't have one!”
Wang Pangzi proudly pulled out his Mo Jin Fu from his chest.
“……………”
The two people who knew the truth on the scene covered their heads in silence, speechless.
“Fatty, yours is fake!”
Helpless, Lao Hu could only tell Wang Pangzi the truth.
He had initially planned to keep quiet, but Shirley Yang unexpectedly had a real Mo Jin Fu in her possession.
Although he had never seen one before, Shirley Yang’s looked much better than theirs.
“Nonsense, why don't you say hers is fake?!”
Unfortunately, Wang Pangzi, whether for the sake of face or because he truly believed his was genuine, stubbornly argued.
“Fatty, many Mo Jin Fu were destroyed during the Ming Dynasty, only three remained, so how could Da Jin Ya, with all his skills, have three Mo Jin Fu?”
Wang Pangzi was stunned, he didn't even want to talk about Da Jin Ya's character.
Although their relationship was pretty good, it was clear that Da Jin Ya was at most doing better than they were, but not by much.
He just had more connections, otherwise, he wasn't necessarily better than the three of them.
“Moreover, as far as I know, the last three Mo Jin Fu were taken overseas by Partridge Whistle, leaving only the one in Jin Suan Pan’s hands!”
Bai Tian Yu delivered the final blow to Wang Pangzi.
“So, she really is Partridge Whistle’s granddaughter?”
“Who else could it be?”
“You wouldn't think Miss Yang is deceiving us, would you?”
“……………”
Wang Pangzi’s silence left Bai Tian Yu speechless.
Bai Tian Yu was truly speechless. Shirley Yang had been trying to integrate herself into their trio.
As a result, Wang Pangzi had been ignoring her, thinking that he simply didn't like her, but it turned out he just considered her a fraud.
“Fatty, how have I been deceiving you?”
Shirley Yang was curious. If Wang Pangzi thought she was a liar, how was she deceiving them?
“You’re not even a Chinese citizen, why come to China, and even sponsor an archaeological team, if it's not for ulterior motives, what else could it be?”
Wang Pangzi’s analysis seemed logical, but upon deeper thought, it was all nonsense!
“Bro, she clearly said it was to find her father, you, on the other hand, what’s there to doubt?”
“Besides, you saw Professor Chen back then, didn’t you see how familiar he was with Miss Yang?”
“Also, don't even mention her, even we are hiding things from each other, right?”
“Why would Miss Yang tell us her purpose and identity right away? You think you're a cop?!”
Bai Tian Yu and Lao Hu, each taking turns, had Wang Pangzi speechless, they had a point.
They didn't tell each other everything, so why should they demand Shirley Yang not to hide anything?
“Alright, I just don't like her!”
Unable to bear their constant nagging, Wang Pangzi confessed.
“WHY?”
“What do you mean?”
Blinking, Wang Pangzi didn't understand Shirley Yang’s gibberish.
“She’s asking you why.”
“Uh, probably because you’re too beautiful, right? Don't movies always say, the prettier a woman is, the more likely she is to deceive people!”
Bai Tian Yu explained for Wang Pangzi, flattering him.
“Heh～～”
Shirley Yang chuckled lightly, nodded at Bai Tian Yu, and looked at Wang Pangzi.
“Fatty, I can assure you that since meeting you guys, I haven't lied once, please believe me!”
“Uh, it's also my fault, I need to apologize to you as well!”
Seeing Shirley Yang apologize to him, Wang Pangzi became a little flustered, he also apologized in return.
“Alright, all's well that ends well, shall we continue moving forward?”
Seeing this, Lao Hu nodded in relief, Wang Pangzi had finally let go of his prejudices.
In this era, especially after the Eight-Nation Alliance invasion, Chinese people were still very wary of foreigners.
This was even more true for beautiful foreign women like Shirley Yang, so Lao Hu understood Wang Pangzi’s caution.
Although Shirley Yang claimed to be an overseas Chinese, there were so many people betraying their country these days.
It wasn't until Shirley Yang showed the Mo Jin Fu that Lao Hu completely believed her identity.
According to Lao Bai, Partridge Whistle had taken two Mo Jin Fu overseas, the one Shirley Yang had should be one of them.
No wonder Lao Bai trusted Shirley Yang so much, he must have seen the Mo Jin Fu by chance.
Because of Lao Bai’s extreme trust in Shirley Yang, Lao Hu was caught in the middle, feeling helpless and pressured.
Now that everything was cleared up, their relationship would improve from now on.
“We've rested enough, let's go!”
The four continued to move forward, getting closer to the underground river.
“It seems you're not surprised about my identity.”
Shirley Yang deliberately lagged behind and approached Bai Tian Yu, curiously.
“I haven't doubted you since the first time I saw you!”
Shaking his head, Bai Tian Yu explained.
“Why?”
Now it was Shirley Yang’s turn to be surprised. Trusting her from the first meeting, was it because she was beautiful?
But Bai Tian Yu didn't seem like someone who would be so superficial, after all, with his looks, if he wanted to, there wouldn't be a single woman who would refuse his advances, right?
“Because of your eyes, eyes are windows to the soul, your eyes are very pure.”
Looking straight into Shirley Yang’s eyes, Bai Tian Yu smiled.
“Is… that so?”
Seeing that Bai Tian Yu finished speaking and strode ahead, Shirley Yang chuckled lightly, her mood improved considerably.
She didn't expect to receive a compliment from Bai Tian Yu!
