Chapter 284: Chapter 266: No 300 Taels of Silver Buried Here, Recognizing the Owner_2

He Tiantian, behind Huo Yingjie, covered her mouth and gestured to Little Rotating Turtle to stop talking.

Sure enough, Little Rotating Turtle stopped talking but was now wildly kicking its legs up in the air, looking quite comical.

"What toy turtle?" He Tiantian retorted, "This turtle is quite naughty, but you didn’t have to throw it on the ground, did you?"

He Tiantian stepped forward and picked up the small turtle.

Seeing that He Tiantian showed no signs of anything unusual, Huo Yingjie asked, "You didn’t hear anything just now, did you?"

"Hear what?" He Tiantian looked puzzled, as if she really hadn’t heard the little turtle talking.

"That little turtle was crying!" Huo Yingjie said, "It even called me master...."

He Tiantian looked at Huo Yingjie as if he were a fool, stepped forward, touched his head, and said, "It’s broad daylight, not nighttime; you couldn’t possibly be talking in your sleep, right?"

Huo Yingjie grabbed He Tiantian’s hand and asked again, "You really didn’t hear anything?"

He Tiantian shook her head again and said, "Nothing!"

The matter concerned the Snake King; He Tiantian didn’t want Huo Yingjie to know too much!

"That’s strange," Huo Yingjie mused, looking at the small turtle in He Tiantian’s hand, "Let me see that little thing you’re holding!"

Huo Yingjie had great confidence in his own sight and hearing and didn’t believe it was an illusion.

He Tiantian quickly said, "Brother Yingjie, is your hand still bleeding?"

Huo Yingjie stretched out his finger and said, "No, it’s stopped bleeding already."

He Tiantian blew on Huo Yingjie’s finger and said, "Like when we were kids, I’ll blow on it...."

"It was always me who blew on it, alright! Every time you fell or got a scrape, you’d close your eyes and cry with your mouth wide open. I had to blow on it every time, then give you a piece of candy milk, and you stopped crying," Huo Yingjie said with a laugh, "Have you forgotten? And now you’re using that to tease me?"

He Tiantian playfully hit Huo Yingjie and said with feigned anger, "I’m just showing concern for you, ungrateful one!"

"Ha, let me have a look at that little turtle; I want to take it back and study it," Huo Yingjie said, looking at He Tiantian’s other hand; he was determined to figure out what was going on.

He Tiantian hid Little Rotating Turtle and said, "No, you just dropped it on the floor; I can’t give it to you."

"Be good, I promise I won’t drop it," Huo Yingjie said, reaching out for it.

He Tiantian frowned, not wanting to give it to him, but if she kept refusing, might that arouse Huo Yingjie’s suspicions?

Just then, the voice of Third Grandma Qi came from outside, "Yingjie, hurry up and wash, or the water in the big tub will get cold."

He Tiantian’s eyes lit up and she said, "You should hurry and take a bath. I’ll check to see if the little turtle is hurt from the fall, and then I’ll give it to you, okay?"

"Then you better keep your word!" Huo Yingjie had to go; he couldn’t stay there any longer.

Once Huo Yingjie left, He Tiantian quietly asked, "Little Rotating Turtle, is Huo Yingjie really your master? Then why doesn’t he recognize you?"

"He is my master, definitely," Little Rotating Turtle said, "If it were someone else’s blood, it absolutely wouldn’t blend into my body. His blood can, so it definitely is. As for why he doesn’t remember me, I have no idea! Tiantian, even though we are good friends, I want to return to my master."

He Tiantian felt reluctant but knew that as a friend, she should be happy for Little Rotating Turtle if that was what it wanted. She nodded and said, "Okay, then, I’ll present you to him later. But I have one condition I hope you can agree to."

"Tell me, as long as I can do it, I will agree," Little Rotating Turtle said, "Please don’t tell Huo Yingjie about the Snake King, okay?"

"Why?" Little Rotating Turtle asked, "It’s my friend; I even want to introduce you to each other!"

"Because Huo Yingjie doesn’t yet know about the Snake King’s existence. After all, he doesn’t believe in these things now, and the Snake King also doesn’t want Huo Yingjie to know about it. As a friend of the Snake King, can you do this?" He Tiantian asked. She couldn’t tell Huo Yingjie about the Snake King, at least not until the Snake King returned to the Demon Realm.

Little Rotating Turtle nodded and said, "Alright then, I’ll just say that I don’t know you and that you found me in the back mountain. That should be fine, right?"

He Tiantian nodded and said, "Yeah, let’s pretend we don’t know each other. You can talk about me, but you can’t mention the Snake King."

"I can promise you that," Little Rotating Turtle said, "Will the master stay here all the time?"
