"A Ying, once everything has settled, where are you going?" Wu Xie asked softly, his gentle gaze resting on the girl before him, who was lost in thought.
"Where am I going?" At his words, A Ying slowly raised her eyes. A glimmer seemed to flicker in them, though they also held a hint of melancholy. "To find Master."
Wu Xie was fixated on the mystery of A Ying's background and had asked his Third Uncle about it countless times.
Anxious, he pressed him with an eager, searching tone: "Third Uncle, who exactly is A Ying? How many times have I asked you already?"
Third Uncle frowned and waved a hand impatiently. "How many times have I told you? She's a member of the Zhang family, and she even saved the lives of everyone in the Nine Gates. As for the years she was missing, I really don't know."
Wu Xie looked deeply suspicious, a flash of certainty in his eyes. "How is that possible? All members of the Zhang family have tattoos, but her skin is completely clear. There isn't a trace of one!"
Annoyed by the questions, Third Uncle raised his voice. "How should I know where her tattoo went? Stop asking. I don't have an answer for you!"
