"That's right!" the old man smiled bitterly, "Because Andrea's father personally arranged for his own daughter to meet Dongfang Lingyun, ...... Inevitably, she was monitored and investigated by people with good intentions, and it was precisely because of this that they became interested in her identity......"

"Therefore, those guys continue to dig up Mi'er's information and try their best to inquire about Mi'er's origin - under this kind of high-intensity close 'attention', there is a major 'problem' in itself - her identity and origin...... It's impossible not to find out some clues from them!" The skeleton interrupted the old man's explanation, and directly speculated what happened next. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yes!—as you say...... old man laughed bitterly, "under their almost 'carpet' search...... They really found out something - that's why I'm so desperate to get her to go with you......! Do you think I'm going to give her up to you so easily?"

"I see!" the skeleton nodded, still asking with some confusion, "but...... There is one more thing that I find very puzzling - why...... Are you going to choose me?"

"Because I trust you!" said the old man, who adjusted his somewhat agitated emotions and thought he had a great sense of humor.

"Don't fix all this!" said the skull, frowning and dissatisfied, "if you try to come and try like this again, then...... There's really no need for us to continue talking!"

"Young man—don't be so angry!" said the old man with a smile, "I was just joking—it's rare to be humorous, don't be so shameless!"

"I don't have the time to talk to you here!" said the skeleton, dissatisfied, glaring at the old man.

"Young people now...... There's no humor at all!" the old man muttered, and when he saw the skeleton glaring anxiously again, he immediately said:

"There's a reason why I chose you - in fact, I decided to accept you after careful consideration!"

"Really?—thank you for your trust!" said the skeleton with a cold snort, looking at the old man with some cold eyes, "but...... I want to know the real reason - not your prevarication now!"

"Alright!alright!--I said!" the old man smiled helplessly, and raised his hand to make a gesture of surrender, "Actually...... Even if you didn't ask me, I would have said it - you don't have to worry about that, after all...... Mutual honesty still needs to be maintained by both of us! How could I do such a foolish thing? I just wanted to be humorous, how can I ...... Don't you see that?"

"No!" said the skeleton with a frantic roll of his eyes, and said impatiently, "why don't you say it soon?"

The old man didn't care about the skeleton's unreasonable attitude, he glanced at the skeleton deeply, and then slowly explained: "Over the years, because of my maintenance, Dongfang Lingyun has avoided the prying eyes of some ill-intentioned people-but...... My protection is not completely absolute, and it can run into some omissions, such as ...... Andrea's father...... One of the best examples!"

And the reason why her information has been so well withheld for so long is ...... It's all because of Dongfang Lingyun's own reasons - and my protection ...... It's just a simple precaution!" the old man smiled bitterly, with a kind of helpless admiration, "she ...... It seems that she is born with an extraordinary sensitivity to malice - once a bad person or thing appears around her, she can always detect it at the first time and avoid it urgently!"

"So, over the years, it's not so much that I've provided her with a secure 'shelter' as much that I've just provided her with a house to live in - and it's the kind of 'sinful' house in which people are always bullied!" the old man said with some weariness, "It is because of this extraordinary acumen that she has been able to avoid 'risks' in advance and hide her own identity well!"

"Perhaps...... There is no such thing as a perfect thing in this world!--even her keen discernment is limited!" the old man smiled bitterly, "although it can recognize sinister intentions--...... But he can only recognize the malice that is enough to cause her death! and the malice that reprimands her, bullies her, whips her, and punishes her...... As long as it is not possible to achieve a lethal state, then ...... This kind of discernment will not provide her with a corresponding warning!"

"Therefore, it is precisely because of this 'imperfect' ability to discern that she is unable to fully discern the malice of those who have bullied her!—and it is precisely because of this, for those who only take pleasure in 'playing' her...... Her ability to recognize...... It's just a chicken rib that doesn't have the slightest effect at all!"

"And the most fundamental reason why you choose to trust me is because of her intuition, right?" the skeleton interrupted the old man's chatter directly, and turned his head to look at Mi'er and said softly, "because she is close to me—that at least says ...... For her, the result would not have been fatal at all...... Am I right?"

"That's right!" the old man nodded, and replied to the skeleton affirmatively, before he said with some hesitation, "Although Mi'er is naturally very sensitive to the malicious sense that can cause his own death, he ...... It's the first time yours have been so 'slimy' - and to be honest, I wouldn't have thought of it if it weren't for you...... She...... There can be such a side!"

"You know, whether it's the 'Eastern Lingyun' period or the 'Mi'er' period as you call it—she...... I've never pretended to anyone!" the old man was amazed, "even when she was friendly with Andrea and the others, she was only superficial, and she would not have been as enthusiastic as she was for you—which is one of the most important reasons why I chose to believe you!"

"Because I want to...... There must have been another effect of her keen intuition!---that she would have unleashed 'special' kindness to people who were completely harmless!" the old man sighed, "and the reason why I have not been able to discover this trait is perhaps ...... I'm not the one to be worthy of her kindness, am I?--maybe...... This kind of 'kindness' of hers...... Maybe it's just for you!...... That's why I trust you so much!"

"Because...... You're the one she's chosen to trust!" )
