Ye Shu squatted down, picked up the black pebble, and without further inspection, raised his head and swallowed it whole.
Baili An, feeling the change in Ye Shu's aura, furrowed his brow in confusion and said, "He didn't choose to keep you behind, why would you..."
Ye Shu smiled and replied, "If he truly didn't want to choose, why would his earlier answer only mention you? The psychological suggestion is quite clear. Why force him to spell it out?"
Baili An said, "I don't understand, how can you go to such lengths?"
Ye Shu's brows dipped, shrouded in a faint layer of sorrow, "His parents were both severely injured and fell sick trying to save me. After all, the fall of the Marquis Mansion was due to my defeat. His obsession with revival is also somewhat because of me. Lady Lin, on her deathbed, asked me to take good care of him. I ought to do something for him."
Baili An felt it strange that Ye Shu didn't seem to bear much resentment towards the Lin couple.
