The miscreant pet turned its face away disdainfully, covering it with a paw while sneakily winking at Lin Suqing, and whispered, "Xi Ye wouldn't happen to be an idiot, would he?"
As Lin Suqing observed the darkening expression on Yiyi's face, he too felt that the situation was growing ominous. But now wasn't the time to speak up and explain. He was unsure of what Yiyi might be thinking at the moment, so he could only wait for Yiyi to speak first and see her reaction before he could "prescribe the right cure."
When Xi Ye heard the miscreant pet bad mouth him, he didn't care in the least and countered, "What's there to hide? We were originally after Ding Rui's horn, yes or no, it's our desire, and it's not as if we could get it just because we want it. Whether to want it is my business, whether to give it is Ding Rui's business, I'm simply stating my wish, am I wrong?"
