Identity & Xuan Wu's Feelings

"...We need to talk."

As soon as Ming Yue said that, tension grew thicker around them. The three beasts' tension could be seen as clear as day and Ling Mao was fidgeting nervously. Only one was calm, no.. too calm in fact. It was Xuan Wu.

"..Why did you lie to me?" Asked Ming Yue as she finally broke the thick silence between them, "...I am.. HER.. Aren't I?"

The three beasts became nervous, Bai Hu and Qing Long glanced at Zhu Que, waiting for her to answer. They couldn't speak for fear that they would say the wrong words. However as Zhu Que was contemplating the best way to answer, Xuan Wu opened his mouth.

"Yes." He said, "You are Chang'e."

"Xuan Wu!" Zhu Que turned around, wanting to reprimand him for answering carelessly but she stopped the moment she saw his expression. It was not the usual playful Xuan Wu.
