xxvi

Lan knew he was supposed to run away and reduce the number of troubles he was giving to Liwei. But his curiosity kept growing the more they said.

At first, he was mostly curious about how she would fix this problem he created by falling into a trap so obvious.

But now he needed to know what they meant by calling her a spirit !

But Wen Li was on the Immortals' side ! Weren't they allies ? Why are they standing on opposite sides to each other now ?

As he thought that, pieces started to come together in his mind.

Wen Li only occasionally joined them. And she needed a reason to, like when she went to fetch spiritual stones or pretended to watch over disturbances in nearby areas.

On the other hand, Liwei never left the village for anything. She didn't stay with the group of Immortals that came to fight the ghosts that day and instead ran away with him.
