Hearing Qianxun’s words, a look of shock flickered in Huo Tianzun’s eyes amidst the darkness.
How did she know it was him?
Furthermore, her skills and reaction speed... were definitely not those of an ordinary high school student.
For a moment, Huo Tianzun couldn’t help feeling that coming to find her in the middle of the night had been the right choice.
"It’s me." After giving a low response, Huo Tianzun withdrew his palm.
After hearing this, Qianxun also retracted her hand and then asked, "What are you doing here... coming to my room in the middle of the night?"
If it had been anyone else, she would have taken the opportunity to beat them until they were desperately searching for their teeth. However, concerning Huo Tianzun... He did not seem like someone who would sneak into someone’s room at night without good reason.
Could it be that he had something to find her for?
Seeing that Qianxun didn’t scream or question him, Huo Tianzun felt a mysterious sense of pleasure. Her attitude meant that she trusted him not to harm her.
Then, his tone unconsciously softened as he said, "I came to ask you about what happened that day."
"Which day?" Qianxun asked, puzzled.
"The day you heard my name and started crying," Huo Tianzun asked gently.
Qianxun gave him a somewhat surprised look upon hearing this, then said with a bit of a gloomy tone, "Because the person I love is also named Huo Tianzun, but we’ve been separated by life and death. So hearing your name stirred some emotions..."
Huo Tianzun heard this and couldn’t help feeling a slight disappointment. Was that the reason?
However, he quickly continued to ask, "Do you... ever have the same dream repeatedly?"
"Dream?" Qianxun shook her head, "No, I hardly dream at all."
Hearing this, Huo Tianzun lowered his head and fell silent.
It looked like he had been overthinking it.
Seeing that Huo Tianzun had suddenly fallen silent, Qianxun couldn’t help but narrow her eyes, "What did you dream about?"
This guy couldn’t have come to find her so late at night simply to ask if she had been dreaming, right?
Responding to Qianxun’s question, Huo Tianzun gazed at her in the night and said in a low voice, "Nothing much."
Since she hadn’t had that kind of dream, it probably wasn’t related to her.
The next moment, Huo Tianzun suddenly said, "Right, that evening, you weren’t actually hypnotized, were you?"
Judging from her skills today, her combat ability should be strong.
In such a case, she wouldn’t have been easily hypnotized by Bai Yingying.
After hearing Huo Tianzun’s question, Qianxun hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Hmm."
Huo Tianzun heard this and wasn’t surprised in the slightest, but this time, he didn’t ask how she had managed that or why she had such skills.
Because with this girl, although he wanted to uncover everything about her, he inexplicably hoped that she would tell him on her own.
Naturally, Qianxun would not take the initiative to tell Huo Tianzun about her origins.
Even if he shared the same name as Yanzhi.
Moreover, this man managed many demons.
And she had no intention of submitting to any human.
Seeing that Qianxun had gone quiet, disappointment took hold in Huo Tianzun’s heart.
After a moment, both of them spoke at the same time: "You..."
"What do you want to say?" After stopping simultaneously, they both spoke again at the same time.
Seeing this, Huo Tianzun couldn’t help but slightly curve the corner of his lips and said softly, "You go first."
"Oh, I wanted to ask, when you appeared on the back hill of Nanyang High School that day, were you trying to catch some demon?" Qianxun inquired.
"Yes, a fox demon came to S City and has claimed dozens of lives. The man who died under strange circumstances after the intense explosion with Sun Xiaowen had been drained of his essence by the fox demon," Huo Tianzun didn’t hide it from her.
