So Lin Xiao made a bold statement based on his prudent speculation.
Once he wrapped it up, he checked on Qin Xiaomei's reaction. Her facial expression verified the validity of it.
Then Lin Xiao decided to take a further move.
"On that day, you appeared pretty aloof but marvelously charming. I didn't…didn't expect you could be so ruthless! How come you refused to recognize your own senior brother?"
Lin Xiao feinted a disappointed look and shook his head, with a sense of failure welling up in his eyes.
He did a great job in acting out the facial expression a disappointed youngster was supposed to have.
Wu Gui, Wang Di, and Qin Shou stared at Lin Xiao, eyes glazed. If they hadn't known that he hadn't seen Qin Xiaomei before, they would definitely have fallen for his description.
Qin Xiaomei looked up at Lin Xiao with a sense of shock kicking in. Then a sparkle of abashment flashed across her eyes.
In the same time, Lin Xiao's ingenious playacting skills blew away Li Taixuan and the three chief seniors as well. They all went slack-jawed.
Then Li Taixuan came back to himself and turned to Qin Xiaomei.
"Truth be told, I'm completely in the dark. Hence I won't comment on your behavior. But it proved that he is indeed your senior brother. Now it's all clear, he is not dead. You'd better leave for now."
Qin Xiaomei stepped back silently.
Nonetheless, the arrogant girl refused to let go.
"Brilliant! You Taixuan guys did a good job! A cluster of guys bullied a little girl! You might find her easy to dupe because she is young. But you can never fool me. Remember who I am! My name is Wen Biyun!"
"Miss Wen, why do you stay impervious to reason?"
Wen Biyun got on Li Taixuan's nerves — she is such a hard nut to crack!
"I'm impervious to reason? I think that was because you guys have a guilty conscience! You choreographed it with joint efforts! You think I failed to see it through?" She scolded Li Taixuan and Lin Xiao at first, then she swerved to Qin Shou all of a sudden, "Qin Shou was long dead! Tell me who you are!"
"I told you I'm Qin Shou!"
Qin Shou went shocked. But he hastened to respond, almost bursting into tears.
"You're not! The real one was already dead!"
Wen Biyun made a categorical remark.
"Miss Wen, please tell me where and when you learned about his death? I bet it was from the Suomo Sect? And you must have learned that for a few days."
Lin Xiao stood out and offered his analysis.
Wen Biyun didn't respond to his question, avoiding eye contact with him.
