But the owner of the mysterious voice didn't dare to make a move against Xiao. He sneered and then disappeared completely.

The room fell silent again, as if no one had ever spoken.

"Is that so? Perhaps."

Xiao leaned back in his chair, casually swinging his leg, and looked up at the blue sky through the floor-to-ceiling window. "They're a really capable bunch, after all..."

"Won't the Assassin's Guild be destroyed because of this? This is a headache."

"I wonder if that kid Xia Che is reliable or not. Could he be a fence-sitter? Information is just information, and I don't know his character. What if he's a pushover and falls for my bluff... then I'd be the clown."

"I acted impulsively again..."

Xiao muttered to himself, then suddenly chuckled softly, murmuring, "The sky is so blue."

Was it due to impulse, or out of some compassion in his heart?

The incident that happened back then made Xiao feel somewhat guilty towards Xia Che.

Is publicly taking sides to support Xia Che the right thing to do, and what are his motivations...?

Even Xiao himself didn't have the answers to any of these questions.

...

Jiang City, Haiyun Residential Area.

The arrival of Chu Yuying made Feng Yang's family feel extremely uneasy. The woman was well-known, and yet they had actually been persuaded by their son to come to their home. This surprised and delighted Feng Yang's parents, but they also felt a little awkward and didn't even know where to put their hands.

After all, that's Chu the Half-Immortal!

The renowned fortune teller Chu Banxian, who was famous throughout Jiang City, solved countless major problems that plagued ordinary people for a lifetime without being able to find a solution.

It could even be said that if Feng Yang's parents had known from the beginning that Feng Yang had a way to invite Chu Yuying, they would not have sought out other so-called experts in the first place.

Because in Jiang City, no matter how skilled a person is, they can't surpass Chu Yuying.

And this is Chu Yuying's status in Jiang City's psychic community!

The big shot who was originally high and mighty and had no connection with them actually came to their home. This made Feng Yang's parents look at each other, neither daring to speak first, and both wanting the other to come and greet them.

He was afraid that he might say something wrong and offend Chu Yuying again.

"Chu, this way please."

Finally, Feng Yang noticed his parents' embarrassment, shook his head helplessly, and stepped forward first. He then noticed Xia Che behind him, and instinctively took a step back, asking with a strange expression, "And this is…?"

Why do you look so fierce?

A head of blond hair, looking like a thug...

His eyes seemed to carry a murderous intent?

Feng Yang felt that their Linchuan Middle School was already chaotic enough, with many hooligans. Whenever he saw those school big shots, he would turn around and leave, afraid of being stopped and extorted for all his pocket money.

But Feng Yang racked his brains. Even if he were to compare the fiercest school bully in Linchuan with Xia Che in front of him...

Feng Yang was horrified to discover that even they couldn't match Xia Che's imposing presence!

It could even be said that comparing Xia Che to the other person is an insult to Xia Che...

These two things should not be confused at all!

Why would someone have such a strange idea?

Feng Yang was stunned.

However, due to the instinct of all living beings to seek advantage and avoid harm, Feng Yang cautiously took a few more steps back, keeping a distance from Xia Che.

"He is my assistant, his name is Xia Che."

Chu Yuying immediately noticed Feng Yang's fear of Xia Che. The corners of her mouth curved slightly, and her feigned seriousness almost crumbled. Her beautiful eyes darted around and met Xia Che's somewhat helpless gaze, and the smile in her red eyes deepened.

This blond guy...

It doesn't look very appealing, does it?

"Hello."

Xia Che nodded slightly, forcing a friendly smile.

However, to Feng Yang, this scene looked like a threat no matter how he looked at it...

Xia Che was also helpless.

Who can blame them when the original owner was perfect in every way except for that fierce-looking face?

Other flaws can be corrected, but appearance is something given by one's parents and cannot be changed.

"Oh, I see... Please come in, please come in."

Feng Yang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly turned to invite them in. After the two walked in, he followed behind.

She insisted on keeping a safe distance from Xia Che, genuinely afraid to get close.

"Please have a seat, I'll make you some tea. As for the specifics... just ask my parents."

Feng Yang was very polite; he informed the family and then went to prepare.

The conversation between the group hadn't been deliberately kept quiet, so the parents already knew that Xia Che was Chu Yuying's assistant. They exchanged a glance. After all, the father was the pillar of the family, and even though he was somewhat apprehensive, there was nothing he could do; a man always has to shoulder responsibilities. He then mustered his courage and looked at Chu Yuying, saying, "Master Chu, you've finally arrived!"

"Uncle, there's no need for that. Feng Yang and I are the same age. Although we don't go to the same high school, we are both high school students, so you can just call me Xiao Chu. Chu Banxian... is just a nickname given to me by others, it doesn't mean anything."

Unlike her mischievous and effeminate nature in private, Chu Yuying at this moment was poised and graceful in every gesture, spoke with clarity and order, and exuded an air of elegance that left Xia Che speechless.

this……

You know what?

Chu Yuying, once she entered work mode, truly impressed Xia Che.

It's like he's become a completely different person.

"Alright, since Master Chu insists... uh, Little Chu, then I'll call you that. I never expected that someone as famous as you would be so easy to get along with in private."

The father glanced at the mother, then breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, as a middle-aged man, it did feel a bit awkward to be called a "master" or "semi-divine being" when faced with a little girl who was about the same age as my son.

“Feng Yang has already told you the specifics, so I won’t go into details… Xiao Chu, in a situation like ours… do you have any good ideas?”

Feng Yang's father rubbed his hands together, and together with his mother, they held their breath and looked at Chu Yuying, wanting an answer.

Not only the two of them, but even Feng Yang, who was soaking in the water nearby, perked up his ears upon hearing this.

This answer had been troubling their family for a long time.

If this problem isn't resolved soon, Feng Yang is really worried that his parents might go insane.

"If there's no other way..."

Chu Yuying deliberately dragged out the last syllable, noticing the sudden dimming of the Feng family's eyes and the warning look Xia Che gave her. Knowing when to stop, Chu Yuying continued calmly, "If there's no other way... then I wouldn't have come here. Don't worry."

"Since you're here, it means I have a solution."
