Lou Ren would like to hit Xi Jun again. Probably hard enough to make the man unconscious. Xi Jun is always grumpy when he does not have enough alcohol in his system. Well, no alcohol for Xi Jun for ten years so Lou Ren cannot blame his friend"s grumpiness. With Xi Jun"s current att.i.tude, what if their master decided to forbid alcohol for more than twenty years?
Lou Ren uttered disapprovingly, "Shut up. You are being disrespectful." He did a quick glance to Wei Jiayi and found that their master is looking at them coldly.
Then Lou Ren added carefully, "You were drunk at that time, so you do not remember what our w.a.n.gfei was talking about." he explained patiently, ignoring Xi Jun"s furious expression.
Lou Ren then, "Well, at that time, w.a.n.gfei your eyes is just red and it stays that way for a very long time. It was a giveaway for your own ident.i.ty but as a Keeper it is different. Keeper"s eye color change only to bright crimson when feeling a very strong emotion." He explained.
When Gao Lan Mei pretended to be a male merchant, it was easy to a.s.sume that she was mixed blood at that time. Lou Ren does not have any idea why her eyes are like that. Wei Jiayi probably knows?
Wei Jiayi was able to quickly notice something is suspicious when one of them mentioned that "Merchant Lan" have red eyes. A dragon"s senses are sharper when hunting for their prey.
Gao Lan Mei asked curiously, "So you leave it that way?" different eye colors are normal. She never expected for it to be a big deal. Anyone can just threaten someone and if their eyes turned bright red, its a giveaway.
"We don"t see any need to conceal it before because we are still treated just like the others." Xi Ma said. "However now, it may be necessary to do so to survive." Then he added bitterly.
Aside from the premonition to be very suspicious. The involvement of someone who holds a G.o.dly treasure makes it even more doubtful.
Unable to refrain, Lou Ren asked Gao Lan Mei, "w.a.n.gfei, why are you able to maintain the redness on your eyes before?" It is just a good thing that it is not the case anymore.
One of the hardest things to disguise is eye color. Anyone stupid can just a.s.sume that she is a Keeper without even verifying.
With a shrug of her shoulder, "Like this?" Gao Lan Mei closed her eyes then opened them again to show that they are now in crimson red. "I-" she was supposed to answer casually but unable to do so.
"She took a special pill with that side effect." Wei Jiayi interrupted before Gao Lan Mei was able to manage to continue. He gave Lou Ren a death glare before he looked at her with a dazzling smile.
"Master… It is really not the time for being a jealous possessive dragon." Lou Ren can only helplessly smile, his eyes meaningfully asking help from Xi Ma.
"It was a guess. I"m correct?" Wei Jiayi then asked Gao Lan Mei innocently while she can only blink multiple time as she almost got hypnotized by his handsome face.
Most of the things that he knows about Gao Lan Mei from her previous life are from Feng Ji.
The sparrow is very easy to bribe and if its comfortable enough to be around you, it will answer every question asked. Sometime Wei Jiayi does not even need to inquire.
Gao Lan Mei nodded with a raised brow as she suspiciously looks at Wei Jiayi. "What else?" she asked her mother.
"Connection. You will feel a strong connection." Li Mao told Gao Lan Mei vaguely. Then explained further, "Like you have known the being for a very a long time. It is like a spiritual imprint."
