"If there's anything you want to ask, just ask me.
"I'll answer you."
"How did you know I wanted to find him?"
Jiu Chi knew that Xing Jiuan would definitely ask this question.
"I know some divination arts."
"Then why did you look for me there?"
"I knew you'd come looking for him, so I went looking for you."
Li Ting had already settled everything. He was about to walk in when he heard their conversation with his good hearing.
It started when the two of them asked the second question.
He was a little surprised.
Was that little girl… looking for him?
Or for someone else?
Xing Jiuan did not say anything else.
"Don't you have anything else to ask?"
Xing Jiuan shook her head.
"I don't want to ask anything more."
These two questions were enough. There was no point in asking more.
"Then if you have anything you want to ask me in the future, tell me everything."
Xing Jiuan only smirked.
She took out her phone. Lu Zhichen, along with Mu Qing and the others, had sent her a few more messages.
She replied to Mu Qing first.
Then she started sending Lu Zhichen messages.
[21: I'm fine. Don't worry, go back.]
Lu Zhichen did not reply.
Xing Jiuan looked at the message Mu Qing had sent.
Mu Qing was very anxious. His messages were all pleas to her.
Xing Jiuan knew that if she did not go back tonight, she would probably be brought home before tomorrow morning.
Even her senior brothers did not know where she had gone.
"I'll need your help later," Xing Jiuan said.
Jiu Chi smiled, seemingly very happy to hear Xing Jiuan say that.
"Tell me, I'll help you if I can. If I can't… I'll try my best."
"I just want you to take me downtown."
She could just get a taxi at a convenient place.
It was only about half an hour.
It was too remote here, so it should be difficult to call for a car.
Li Ting walked in. He did not say anything as if he had not heard their conversation.
However, he also knew that this young lady was not lost.
However, it was strange. When he saw the little girl's red eyes, he had subconsciously asked that question.
After saying that, he had felt a little strange.
"I'll be going back later," Xing Jiuan said.
She held her phone and asked Li Ting, "Shall we exchange contact details?"
Li Ting chuckled. "Of course."
When Jiu Chi saw that the two of them had added each other on WeChat, his gaze changed before he said softly, "Can you add me?"
There was an unpleasant quality in his tone.
Xing Jiuan still added him on WeChat.
It was already past nine in the evening. It would be a long time before they could return. It would not be good if it ended up too late, so Xing Jiuan suggested leaving.
Actually, she wanted Li Ting to leave with her.
However, she did not say anything in the end.
Xing Jiuan looked at Li Ting with some trepidation and stood up. The other two stood up as well.
"I'm leaving. See you again if there's a chance."
Li Ting smiled and agreed.
She was a very likable young lady, Li Ting thought.
Though she was not as lively and cheerful as a child her age should be.
The three of them walked out together. Jiu Chi went to drive while Xing Jiuan and Li Ting waited there.
At this moment, there was the sound of another car.
It seemed to be driving very fast as it stopped anxiously.
Xing Jiuan and Li Ting looked over.
Lu Zhichen got out of the car, his eyes filled with worry.
He only seemed to heave a sigh of relief when he saw Xing Jiuan.
"Jiuan."
