Su Xun turned his head and smiled helplessly. "Tongtong..."
"Sorry for scaring you."
Wang Tong stuck out her tongue, then eagerly pressed him, "Little Brother, do you know what that strange sound I mentioned was?"
"What was it?"
"Little Brother, tell me already."
"I don't know."
Su Xun gave the girl an answer she hadn't expected.
She blinked. "...Huh?"
"But..."
Didn't what Little Brother had just said mean that he knew what the strange sound was?
"Then what did you mean just now?"
Wang Tong was confused.
Su Xun smiled. "I just suddenly had a guess."
"Tongtong, you probably encountered a magical creature."
"Huh?"
The girl's mouth fell open.
A magical creature?
What kind of nonsense was that?
Her head was full of questions. "What magical creature?"
"Where?"
"Did you see it?"
Thinking of how Little Brother and Master Xiao had acted just now, she looked up at the canopy. "Is it in the tree?"
She tried to widen her eyes.
All she could see were branches and leaves. She didn't even spot a little bird.
"There's nothing..."
The girl turned her head from side to side, wondering if she couldn't see it because of the angle.
Wang Tong rubbed her sore neck and looked at Su Xun with a hurt expression. "I didn't see anything."
"Don't just keep what you saw to yourselves."
"Tell me where it is, too."
"I didn't see it either."
Su Xun was telling the truth.
Wang Tong's first reaction was disbelief.
But seeing how serious Su Xun looked, the doubt faded from her face. "...Huh?"
"Only Master Xiao saw it, then?"
Su Xun's words made the girl look at Xiao Xiao. "Master Xiao?"
Xiao Xiao turned and smiled at her.
The girl instinctively smiled back.
Huh?
She was just about to speak
