Zhong Yan was extremely embarrassed. How could anyone say she had no trust in him at all? In fact, she trusted him quite a lot most of the time. Otherwise, she wouldn't have done so many things!
To put it bluntly, they still considered Jiang Xiaochen as one of their own.
Jiang Xiaochen stared at her expectantly, as if demanding an explanation from her, clearly feeling that he had been treated unfairly.
"you……"
"You think you can fool me?!"
"No." Zhong Yan looked embarrassed, unsure how to begin. "Jiang Xiaochen, don't overthink it. Let me tell you..."
"I don't want to hear what you have to say." Jiang Xiaochen snorted, showing no respect whatsoever: "There's nothing to say! Zhong Yan, you just don't believe me."
"No!" Zhong Yan bristled. How could a grown man say such a thing without any restraint, especially with such a wronged expression?
Could she say that she simply couldn't stand it?
Seeing that she was really angry, Jiang Xiaochen's expression changed several times: "Alright, I didn't mean to make you angry. If you're really unhappy, just hit me."
Zhong Yan: "..."
Beat him up?
That's not appropriate!
If I were to actually beat him up, it would only make things more complicated.
After thinking it over, I decided to give up!
"I have something to tell you."
"Hmm?" Jiang Xiaochen's eyes instantly brightened. She took the initiative to communicate with him, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
“We might be in trouble. Tell them to be careful lately.” Zhong Yan said with a headache, “I have a feeling things won’t end so easily.”
“Okay.” Jiang Xiaochen’s expression became a little more serious. It was precisely because he knew that things wouldn’t end so easily that he was even more determined to improve his abilities.
Otherwise, when those things happen, he can only watch helplessly as Zhong Yan suffers a loss!
That feeling wasn't very pleasant.
Zhong Yan was actually a little conflicted, unsure whether she should tell him or not. But now that she had already told him, there was nothing to regret.
In fact, she herself did not realize that she had unknowingly come to regard Jiang Xiaochen as her support.
It seems that she feels at ease as long as he is by her side.
This habit, well, it's still pretty scary!
"Don't frown, you're going to look like an old lady."
"I……"
"Don't worry, no matter what happens, we'll deal with it together." Jiang Xiaochen was still very optimistic. If it was those evil spirits causing trouble, then they would just have to face them.
Why think so much?!
Besides, doesn't Zhong Yan get tired of thinking so much? He himself feels exhausted! So, no matter what, we must dispel her worries.
Zhong Yan remained silent, unsure of what to say in his presence. However, to her surprise, not long afterward, something truly happened.
First came some bad news: for no apparent reason, a number of single young women disappeared from Kyoto. Each one of them walked into a blind spot of the surveillance cameras and vanished without a trace.
More importantly, it wasn't ordinary people who disappeared, but people of status.
When Zhou Shao rushed to her with a pained expression, she felt a chill run down her spine. Why was this happening? The infant spirits had only mentioned being afraid, but they had never said anything like this would happen!
Surprised?
Naturally, I was surprised!
