"It's because someone tried to kill Ah Jin back then! They pushed her into the water. If I hadn't given her the Shark Pearl, Ah Jin would have died!"
Xi answered before she could. An Jin wanted to give the considerate Little Merfolk a big thumbs-up.
"Who was it?" Gu Yin stared at her, stunned. He even forgot his jealousy, feeling nothing but heartache.
'So she was abused like that before? Damn it! I'll go grind that person's bones to dust right now!'
"It was a long time ago. I'd almost forgotten about it myself. It was a Beastman from my old tribe, but he's dead now," An Jin said calmly.
Seeing her so nonchalant about it made Gu Yin feel even worse.
'I met her too late. I wasn't there to protect her. This is so infuriating! Why did everyone else get to meet her before I did?'
After that brief commotion, the tense atmosphere quickly dissipated into silence.
