"Where did he go?"
As soon as the other person spoke, a look of regret appeared on his face.
The boy's expression grew even more mocking. "You think I'd tell you?"
"If it weren't for you—"
The boy swallowed the rest of his words.
He had nothing to say to this guy.
He'd once thought about having a proper conversation with him.
But...
He'd been naive.
There was no reasoning with this person.
"Xiao Mie has already left."
The boy took a deep breath. "Don't ever show up in front of me again."
For the first time, he hated someone this much.
Looking at the jade sphere on the table, the boy smiled with delight.
This jade sphere was really that powerful?!
Since that guy had come straight to him to ask where Xiao Mie was, he knew the other person had searched everywhere he could.
Including his home.
At the thought of that, his face darkened.
That guy acted with complete impunity.
And he was incredibly domineering.
He wouldn't listen to a word anyone said.
But did that guy think he was the strongest?
The boy's lips curled into a grin.
You really couldn't judge a person by appearances.
You'd never guess that monk could produce something so powerful.
Did all experts like to play the fool and catch their opponents off guard?
The boy decided to wait a while longer—
He knew the other person wouldn't give up that easily.
Just to be safe... "Xiao Mie, hang in there a little longer."
"Once this time passes..."
"...everything will go back to the way it was..."
When that happened, he'd go back to that temple and thank the monk.
He decided he'd light a few more lamps.
Or maybe donate some more incense money?
