"That's Shu Ai," Wu Yun whispers to Lan Tian, still in disbelief as he watches him pick up Shu Luan from the floor to hug him.
Lan Tian is incredulous too. "The Jade Emperor? Why is he pretending to be a human?"
"I have no idea," Wu Yun says. He can't believe what he's seeing, that the same Shu Ai who took out Shu Luan's eyes, and wrote his name with whip marks on Ling Yan's back is now ruffling a child's hair.
"In any case, Shu Luan wasn't lying, from his point of view he was raised by a human father," Cang Chuxi says, looking on at the domestic scene with a tender expression in his eyes.
It's easy for him to look on and see nothing but a caring father spoiling his son, but to Wu Yun the whole thing twists his stomach.
"Show me what you've been doing, little bird," Shu Ai asks, sitting down at the table and inspecting Shu Luan's calligraphy.
