At that point, there was no choice but to help her uncle, but I at least wanted to know if he was a good man.
"Of course I can!" Yanyin said with obvious excitement. "But first, I would like to say thank you to all of you for helping me. All of you have very big hearts, and for that, I would like to bow down."
She bowed as deeply as she could, touching her forehead to the floor. We felt awkward watching a child bow down for us, but she clearly wanted to do it, so we just let her.
She straightened up and began. "I was born in Cloudfall Town but raised here in Greenleaf Crossing by my uncle. He's the sweetest, funniest person I know. He loves me very, very much, and I love him very, very much too, despite not being related by blood.
When I was a baby, Uncle Zhenhao used to take on bodyguard jobs for money. So my parents gave me to him before they passed away."
"What do you mean?" Liangyu asked. "You mean they planned on dying?"
