Di Chenxiao and Shi Xi looked at the ghost carriage at the same time. It was an unfamiliar face, but Shi Xi felt that she had seen those eyes somewhere before. They looked very familiar.
Gui Che also felt that he had no right to question Di Chenxiao, but when he saw Xiao Xi was injured, he couldn't help but ask.
Di Chenxiao's expression was cold as he said, "You have overstepped your bounds."
"Heh—, Master Chen, even with your protection, this young lady still got hurt, which shows how inadequate your protective abilities are," Guiche mocked.
The room instantly became chilly, even colder than the outside temperature.
"Ghost Cart, you must not be disrespectful to Master Chen." Chaos said casually, as if he was just giving Master Chen an explanation and did not mean to blame Ghost Cart.
Shi Xi gently pulled down Di Chenxiao's sleeve, and the temperature in the room returned to normal.
"Thank you for your concern, Ghost Car. I accidentally cut myself. It has nothing to do with Master Chen. You've wronged Master Chen."
Shi Xi's words did not dispel Gui Che's anger, but Gui Che no longer harbored as much resentment towards Di Chenxiao as before.
"This place is a mixed bag, Miss, it's best to bring more people with you when you go out. It wouldn't be good if you ran into someone who didn't know their place and got hurt," Guiche said with concern.
"Okay, thanks for your concern. You guys chat here, I'm going out for a walk, maybe I can buy something good."
Di Chenxiao got up as Shi Xi stood up, wanting to go out with her as well.
Shi Xi: "..."
"Be good, I'm with Ashi and Thirteen, nothing will happen, don't worry," the girl whispered. But everyone present had excellent hearing and still heard what Shi Xi said.
Chaos: "..." Master Chen, be a little more obedient? Only Shi Xi would dare to say that to Di Chenxiao.
Guiche watched the obedient Di Chenxiao quietly from the side, and his mood instantly brightened after the storm.
Di Jiu and Di San looked away; they didn't recognize the obedient and well-behaved Master Chen.
Shi Xi took Di Shi and Thirteen out, and Di Chenxiao, who was away from Shi Xi, returned to his aloof and unapproachable demeanor.
"Xiao Xi, where do you want to go?" Di Shi asked, following Shi Xi's footsteps.
"Hmm~, let's just wander around the second floor for a bit, and I'll go back after Xiao Xiao finishes her work."
She didn't want to buy anything, but when Di Chenxiao and Hun Dun were talking about something, she always felt that the people from Liubu wouldn't tell her everything while she was with Di Chenxiao.
Moreover, that ghost carriage from the Ryube clan, his eyes look so familiar, it's like I've seen him somewhere before.
She couldn't recall where she had seen the ghost car before, but the face behind the disguise must be someone she knew.
Otherwise, why would a stranger care whether she was hurt, or even risk offending Di Chenxiao and failing to reach a cooperation agreement?
"Are you thinking about the ghost carriage?" Di Shi asked, seeing that Shi Xi was engrossed in her own world.
"Hmm, I feel like I'm familiar with Guiche, it's like..." someone she lived with.
"What does it look like?"
Shi Xi shook her head. "I don't know."
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore, it's giving me a headache. When the time is right, we'll get to know each other naturally," Shi Xi said, taking it all in stride.
Since the ghost car wants to hide its true form, it must have its reasons.
Shi Xi stood by the railing, leaning against it, her hand supporting her chin as she looked at the noisy first floor and the quiet, deserted second floor.
Thirteen, who had been silent all along, whispered to Shi Xi, "Miss, I feel like I know Ghost Cart very well."
