Chapter 404: Me and Honesty Are Sworn Enemies!
It’s impossible to greet someone proactively, Bai Wei didn’t want to reveal his current identity.
When he saw Michelle, it meant that this girl would definitely not recognize him.
Emperors can lead rebellions wearing the disguise of a mentor, so Bai Wei can take off the devil’s disguise and become an ordinary person from the Ming Country.
It’s impossible to escape from playing.
Just keep your own mouth shut.
He looked left and right, measured the distance, which was similar to what the sculpture said, so he landed and looked at Michelle and the person next to her…
"Guan Ling." Bai Wei remembered this matter, the two sides exchanged a few letters, once a month at the beginning of the month, "You are also in Hokkaido."
Yagyū Simozi didn’t know how to respond, she was feeling conflicted, to say or not to say?
Bai Wei kept asking, "Did you see my little sister, Yagyū Simozi?"
Upon hearing this sentence, Yagyū Simozi realized that her brother was looking for her.
But how did he know she was here?
Never mind about that!
She quickly rushed up, taking three steps in two strides, and hugged Bai Wei, shouting, "Brother!"
Bai Wei was stunned for a few seconds before quickly understanding, "Simozi?"
"It’s me."
"But you… I see now," Bai Wei recited, "so it’s half here and half there."
Soul swapping, this wasn’t the first time they met. No wonder Demon Cat Yumeko said that when he arrived in Hokkaido, he would naturally find a way to stay here.
Go back and sacrifice this cat to the heavens!
Bai Wei gently rubbed his sister’s hair and said, "My feelings are very complicated now."
Yagyū Simozi sighed and said, "I feel the same way."
She let go of her hand. She wanted to hold on for a little longer, but Michelle was watching and this body belonged to Guan Ling, so it wasn’t suitable to continue.
Michelle couldn’t understand what Bai Wei was saying in Yingzhou language, but she could understand Yagyū Simozi and could guess the general idea.
"Are you siblings?" Michelle asked cautiously.
"Yes, this is my older brother," Yagyū Simozi explained. "But the current me is not myself. I am in another place, it’s complicated."
Bai Wei dropped the Crouching Tiger Sword and pointed to the side, saying, "Go and bring Hatsurai Wagaizuma over here."
The big orange cat ran away and soon returned with Hatsurai Wagaizuma. She saw the body of the ancient dragon from a distance, and instead of being afraid, she circled around its head and even patted the scales on top, exclaiming, "How much money could we get for making this into a specimen?"
Bai Wei thought about it and realized it made sense. He always made use of everything and the materials from hunting the ancient dragon were good things. When he goes out, he will look for the dragon tribe and sell the ancient dragon head, so that Sakurai Shiru’s grand piano will have a place to go.
"Brother, what are you thinking? You can’t eat this dragon head, it’s been so many years…" Yagyū Simozi reminded.
"People from the Ming Country don’t eat everything either." Bai Wei complained, honestly sharing his thoughts, "At least steam it and then dip it in a clear soup pot… er…"
Michelle said, "People from the Ming Country have such good appetites, they dare to eat any animal other than giant pandas."
Bai Wei glanced at Michelle and said in fluent European language, "European people still don’t know how to use chopsticks?"
Michelle was speechless for a moment, and awkwardly changed the topic, saying to Yagyū Simozi, "Your brother is amazing, he can speak three languages."
Simozi proudly said, "Of course, my brother is the best in the world!"
Michelle thought to herself, maybe not, definitely not as amazing as Mr. Devil.
Bai Wei didn’t want to get involved, after all, there’s no way he could fight himself.
It’s a question that people in the alliance have been debating since they were young: who is more powerful, a mentor or an emperor?
After finishing her visit to the dragon corpse, Hatsurai Wagaizuma approached Bai Wei and said, "You have two sisters?"
"One… this is half of it." Bai Wei didn’t plan on explaining further. "I suggest you stay here with them. Having the dragon corpse here will intimidate other residue from approaching, just its aura alone."
"Would your sister agree?"
"Even if she doesn’t agree, I will make her stay. It’s too dangerous to go further inside. As you’ve seen, there might be even more inside." Bai Wei patted the dragon’s skeleton.
"Well, I guess I’m just a bystander. I have no objections," Hatsurai Wagaizuma sighed regretfully. "It seems like I won’t have a chance to contribute in the end."
"You can sing a song for my sister or give her an autograph. She’s your fan. Even though she’s not here right now, she has noticed you," Bai Wei casually revealed Yagyū Simozi’s secret.
"Want to hear me sing? Sure, I can do that," Hatsurai Wagaizuma grew confident. "That’s my specialty." She then also noticed Michelle standing nearby and curiously asked, "Do you know this girl too?"
"She’s from Europa." Bai Wei avoided a direct answer. Forced to be honest, he couldn’t lie, but he could withhold information.
"I can see that too, she is really pretty," said Hatsurai Wagaizuma admiringly. "Her skin is so white, it must be natural."
"Yes, most Europeans are white, but some people have rougher skin. Dragonborn, on the other hand, have smooth skin. They also have dragon scales growing on their spine," Bai Wei explained some knowledge.
"Dragonborn?" Yagyū Simozi asked. "Are you a Dragonborn?"
"Yeah… Wait, what?" Michelle asked in surprise. "How did you figure it out?"
Dragonborn don’t look much different from regular people. Unless they have a body like a protein queen, it’s hard for them to be distinguished from normal people. They don’t have horns or tails, they have smooth skin, and their dragon scales are hidden on their back. Even if they have some dragon features, they gradually shed as they grow up. As long as she doesn’t breathe fire or heat up her flame sac, it’s not that different from a regular chest. How could she be recognized?
Normally, Bai Wei could easily get away with a lie with just one sentence. But now, it’s not possible. In this moment, he is an honest man, and his conscience is suppressing his urge to lie. But his instinct for self-preservation is also suppressing his desire to answer honestly.
Caught in a double dilemma, Bai Wei was like a program stuck in a loop, remaining silent between the two options.
Not answering in this situation would seem particularly strange.
Yagyū Simozi said, "Brother, just say it directly."
Hatsurai Wagaizuma knew the reason why Bai Wei couldn’t answer, so she quickly changed the subject, "It’s not a very important matter."
Michelle’s intuition kicked in, and she asked again, "Do you know me, sir?"
Bai Wei immediately denied, "No, I don’t."
But under the influence of Honest Feather, he reluctantly changed his answer, "I don’t know you."
This sentence is confusing… but using a double negative actually means a positive.
Michelle raised an eyebrow and said in surprise, after thinking it through, "So… you really do know me? But I don’t know you, sir. You’re from Yingzhou, right? Can people from Yingzhou know about Europa? But then again, the Gray Tide…"
Her personal information is easily found in Europa and she has even been on TV shows. She can be considered a somewhat famous rising young star.
However, her rise to fame was too rapid, and the Gray Tide blocked sea transportation. This world doesn’t have satellite communication technology, so the transmission of news is not synchronized.
Yingzhou can only watch some TV dramas and movies from Europa, listen to music, and read translated best-selling books. It is impossible to have real-time, synchronized understanding of the internal situation of universities in Europa.
So, how did a person from the Ming Country, far away in Yingzhou, find out about her identity and even know what she looks like?
Even Hatsurai Wagaizuma was curious this time. She had wanted to smooth things over, but now her inner curiosity was about to burst out.
Yagyū Simozi, who was by the side, tilted her head. She had encountered Michelle by chance and upon hearing her older brother say that, she asked nervously.
"Brother, do you really… know Michelle?"
Bai Wei sighed. "Yes."
"How did you meet her?" Yagyū Simozi asked. "Is she famous? A child star?"
Michelle immediately said, "No, I’m not. I’m just a girl who grew up in a village, just a country girl."
Bai Wei remained silent, thinking about how to answer. Even if he had to lie, it seemed a bit too late now.
Even if he wanted to come up with a lie on the spot, there wasn’t a suitable one.
He didn’t just hear about or know Michelle casually, but he knew her deeply. He even knew how many moles she had on her cheek. Because he knew Michelle so well, even a simple lie could fool this naive girl. But he said it right in front of Simozi and Hatsurai, these two girls couldn’t see through his deception, they could only say that they slightly lost to the wise Mr. Di. You can fool country girls, but not them.
Because the country girl’s social circle is very small and hasn’t expanded much until now, it is very difficult for her lies to stand. They are easily exposed.
If you want to be a man who tries to have multiple relationships, honesty is a virtue that will not work. He just wants to say one thing – I don’t mix with honesty!
Silence, silence, still silence.
Silence is today’s Avi.
… Can this old dragon pretend to be dead again? I promise I won’t chop you anymore!
