As expected, the Old Master was right on this. Tang Zhiyi was planning to lie for his sister. He just can't bear to do it!
Seeing him grew conflicted, Tang Xue Li swallowed the black pill without a warning which caught her brother off guard, "Sister! Why you…!"
She only patted his head and pursed her lips, "Don't make that look! If you think about it, it's not that bad. Even without the pill, I'm sure that I will never betray you."
She added, "So, what if I got a brand?" she looked at the coin-sized circle tinted in black crescent that emerged on her left wrist just above her pulse, resembling that of a lunar phase.
"Nothing changed. I will always be your sister and you'll always be my brother. So don't be so down, cheer up!" said Tang Xue Li and put the white pill on his hand.
"You're still saying that! Of course, I know that you will never betray me, sister. But once I die, you will also… amp!"
