Begging You to Talk

The old man was extremely wary. You could even say he trusted no one.

Even when Chen Changan appeared so suddenly, the old man remained on full alert.

In his eyes, this was just another probe by the enemy, another one of their tricks.

"Say it or don't."

"Whether he dies or not, he's not my son anyway."

Seeing the old man's attitude, Chen Changan naturally didn't bother to hide his own displeasure.

A flicker of surprise crossed the old man's eyes at Chen Changan's words, but he quickly returned to his wary state.

Chen Changan didn't bother with the old man any further. He'd only asked out of curiosity. What he'd really come here to find was the energy inside Xia Jie.

Chen Changan slowly released his perception, hoping to find energy identical to the kind inside Xia Jie, but for some reason, he couldn't detect anything.

If it had already lured him here, why wouldn't it let him find it?

In Chen Changan's view, that energy possessed a certain intelligence and consciousness. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to lure him here.

"How strange. Why can't I find it?" Chen Changan murmured in confusion.

"Kid, don't think putting on this act will make me curious enough to ask you anything."

"Shut up. Why the hell are you everywhere? Did I ask you to talk to me?"

Chen Changan was already annoyed that he couldn't find the energy, and now the old man was sticking his nose in and showing off. Wasn't he practically begging to be insulted?

The old man was stunned when Chen Changan cursed at him.

Damn, what the hell was this bastard's deal? He'd never met anyone like him in all these years.

"Kid, I suggest you watch your mouth when you talk to me."
