"If you're lucky, maybe you'll..."
The old man paused, then changed the subject. "All right."
"That's the end of this matter."
"Don't think about it anymore."
"Didn't your parents ask you to come home earlier?"
"After you drop Master Xiao and me off, go see them."
Boss Bai: ...
He was changing the subject, wasn't he?
He was definitely changing the subject, wasn't he?!
Grandpa simply didn't believe he'd run into another monster.
He...
All right.
He also thought that running into a monster was... basically impossible for him.
After all, even if he really did run into one, he wouldn't be able to see it.
What difference would that make from not running into one?
"Your great-uncle is so nice..."
Boss Bai couldn't help feeling envious.
The old man chuckled. "I never knew you were so interested in monsters."
"You're a grown man."
"Yet you're still acting like a child."
Boss Bai smiled sheepishly. "But it was a monster."
"Who wouldn't be curious?"
"This is a perfectly normal reaction."
Boss Bai first drove Master Xiao back to the university.
When he found out Master Xiao attended Yan University, Boss Bai was quite surprised.
So experts really did get such good grades?
He was even more amazed when he learned Master Xiao's major. He'd assumed an expert's field would be something like feng shui.
At the very least, he'd expected something like the study of traditional culture.
He hadn't expected something so closely tied to modern life.
So this was what they meant by... living in obscurity amid the bustling world?
"Goodbye, Master Xiao."
The old man leaned out the window.
"Thank you so much for everything this time."
"You've helped this old man solve a major problem."
"I feel completely at ease now."
