Chapter 1160: Chapter 91 Xuan Yue? Xuan Re?_3
Xuan Yue let out a soft sigh and said, "How could I not know that your name is Ah Dai?" As soon as she had finished speaking, she realized her slip, her face changing slightly as she hurriedly corrected, "My name is Xuan Re."
Ah Dai stared at Xuan Yue, perplexed, "Xuan Re, do you know me? I find you very familiar, but I just can’t remember having met you before."
Xuan Yue smiled faintly and replied, "Although we have never met, I had already heard of your name. You might not know me, but you should recognize my younger twin sister."
"Your twin sister? May I ask, who is your sister..." Ah Dai seemed to grasp something, yet he was not certain.
Xuan Yue inwardly cursed Ah Dai’s dense nature, "My sister is Xuan Yue! How could you not remember her?"
Ah Dai gasped in astonishment, exclaiming involuntarily, "What? You’re Yue Yue’s brother." He leapt excitedly from the ground, his voice rising sharply.
Seeing the excitement 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 meeting 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 remember her?"
"Of course, I remember," 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 remembered her! At least he still remembered. With a sigh, Xuan Yue said, "Ah Dai, I was actually afraid that you would have forgotten my sister! It was her who asked me to find you."
Ah Dai shuddered, asking eagerly, "Yue Yue, was it Yue Yue who asked you to find me? 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 same mother, the closest of kin to each other. Yue Yue told me all about you. Since I happen to be traveling, she entrusted me to find you. But I didn’t expect that the moment I saw you, you nearly got yourself killed."
"So Yue Yue has been practicing magic!" Ah Dai’s voice carried a hint of disappointment. Memories of the times they had spent together came flooding back, and he became 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 seemed 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 me 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 something 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 excitement. 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, stammering, "I, I just... I haven’t seen Yue Yue for a long time and I missed her. Xuan Re, you won’t tell her about this, right? I, I..."
Xuan Yue, seeing the embarrassment 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 temperaments, both so fond of playing pranks. By the way, Xuan Re, you said you found me 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 me 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 me to fulfill this task instead."
