”Is that Zhao Liwei?” Gao Lan Mei asked in bewilderment.

”Yes,” Wei Jiayi gloomily answered. Why push him? He is just trying to make sure that Gao Lan Mei will not be upset.

Unlike him, she cannot see in the dark and Wei Jiayi knows that the moment she sees where the blood is coming from, Gao Lan Mei will be very upset before even asking.

Gao Lan Mei immediately walked towards the shadow, after his answer. However, before she can even go further, Wei Jiayi's arms circled around her waist to keep her close.

”Wei Jiayi! Take your hands off me!” She shouted in annoyance through clenched teeth. ”Wha-”

”Grrr!” Another growl coming from the corner that made Gao Lan Mei stopped talking.

Releasing a deep breath, ”Wait, it's dangerous for you to get close.” Wei Jiayi explained.

”See, his eyes are blue, meaning his beast is in control.” He added a matter of fact. If Zhao Liwei is in control, he already greeted them despite his eyes being on red.

”But…But he is hurt,” Gao Lan Mei does not know that Zhao Liwei is also a shifter like Wei Jiayi. Regardless, with the smell of blood so potent, he is probably hurt. ”How can we help him?”

”Ahm… I don't think we need to do that,” he stated, unsure, ”Mei Mei, I will just have you see it… Do not overreact alright? Do not rush to him as well.” Wei Jiayi decided.

He then created multiple small flames to burn the lanterns that run out of flame stones to lit the place.

How the flame stones losing its light after being used on a short period of time only means Zhao Liwei had something to do with it. The reason behind it, Wei Jiayi is not sure.

”Oh!” Gao Lan Mei gasp, with surprise after seeing Zhao Liwei's current appearance. ”Xiao Shi!” Another surprise that made her want to get close, but Wei Jiayi is not willing to do so.
