"Talk face-to-face?"
Li Yan frowned.
"Actually, there's no need."
"If you don't believe me, I can just tell Master Xiao you don't want that demon to keep helping you."
"Just pretend none of this ever happened."
"A Cheng won't say anything strange to you again."
If he hadn't "read too much into it," that would have been the normal way to handle things.
Master Xiao could've simply told him from the start that the problem was solved and A Cheng wouldn't say anything strange to Song Chuxia anymore...
There wouldn't have been anything else to discuss.
He would've accepted it.
He wouldn't have asked any questions.
He knew how those highly capable people were.
But Master Xiao had told him everything.
He'd even given him the chance to choose.
Master Xiao knew he wanted to do something to help with the problem between A Cheng and Song Chuxia.
He was grateful to Master Xiao.
And that made him even more reluctant to trouble Master Xiao any further.
Song Chuxia froze.
"No, I didn't mean anything bad."
It seemed Li Yan really trusted that Master Xiao.
"I'd like to meet Master Xiao..."
"I suppose it's a selfish wish of mine."
Song Chuxia smiled. "After all, he's a highly capable person who can see demons."
"Now that I know about him, wouldn't it be a shame to miss the chance to meet someone like that?"
"Honestly, I mostly just want to get to know Master Xiao."
"Would that be all right?"
Song Chuxia's manner was earnest.
Li Yan hesitated for a while.
He understood how Song Chuxia felt.
Who wouldn't want to take the chance to meet someone so highly capable?
It was a rare opportunity.
Maybe it was the only one she'd get in her whole life.
Anyone who
