One and the Same

Xinghe wasn't led on by him. She said softly, "Tell me, why did you ask to see me?"

Saohuang gave a wicked smile, "Because I knew you would want to see me."

"…" Saohuang predicted we would need his cooperation.

"Actually, there's a question stuck in my mind, but I cannot figure out the answer on my own, so I wanted to ask you in person," Saohuang said.

Xinghe played along, "What question?"

"Do you know Xia Meng?" Saohuang asked directly. Xinghe was a bit surprised by this question.

"What if I do?"

"According to what I've found out, Xia Meng's life didn't cross path with yours, but for some reason, she was heavily related to Xi Mubai for a sudden, albeit brief, period of her life, so I was curious. Furthermore, the two of you share the same family name and you two have the same aura about you," Saohuang stated as he stared closely at Xinghe, as if trying to read something from her unconscious movements.
