Wu Long could see how an idea was born in the eyes of the Elder of the Helian Family, the brother of the Family Head.
'He took the bait after all...', Wu Long thought with an inward sigh.
Although it was something he thought might happen when he left the assassins in the fields, and was almost counting on to speed up things, it still wasn't something one would feel good about predicting.
Wu Long gave the Head of the Helian Family a look, which caused the latter to first make a surprised one in return, and then make a heavy expression as he turned to his brother.
There was still disbelief, or rather, a refusal to believe in his eyes.

"He is quite naive, that Helian Family Head", Shen Min spoke, shaking her head in the evening of that day.
"I find it encouraging, actually", Wu Long chuckled, "It also makes sense that Helian Muyang grew up to be an upright man with such parents, not that it couldn't have happened otherwise, but it certainly helped"
