"Is there even a need to ask?" Ai Qing sneered. "It looks like my cousin is scared, isn't he? Desperate to find an ally."
Huai Shi looked at Yin Yan and asked seriously, "Why me?"
"At least you have more conscience than my cousin, not as much of a 'Second fifth' as the others. Isn't that reason enough?" Yin Yan retorted.
From the beginning, he knew Huai Shi was up to something.
Relying on his Stigma, he had cloaked himself here, witnessing the whole process. He only emerged after confirming that Huai Shi's actions were genuine.
"One of you is a Vampire, the other a Believer... Heh, whatever the Stigma Genealogy is up to on this ship has nothing to do with me, nor does my secret concern you."
Yin Yan asked, "I help you, you help me. How about it?"
"An alliance?" Huai Shi asked cautiously.
"To be honest, I trust your family's magic conch even less than I trust others," Yin Yan said coldly. "It's not so much an alliance; think of it more as extra insurance."
