So later on, whenever the old man knew someone was coming to visit him, he would let the Shangqing Boy know ahead of time.
The old man had grumbled once or twice about wanting to introduce the Shangqing Boy to his children.
But he never forced the issue.
After he brought it up once and saw that it had nothing to say, he never mentioned the same topic again.
This was truly the first time it had run into one of the old man's other guests.
After all, thanks to its deliberate efforts to avoid them, the old man's advance warnings, and the fact that he did not have many visitors to begin with...
Its meetings with the old man had always been a secret between the two of them.
It just hadn't expected...
The rare time it ran into a stranger...
That stranger would be a human who could see it... and had a monster by his side...
For a moment, it didn't know whether that was good or bad.
Being able to see it... meant he wouldn't misunderstand the old man...
But not only could he see it, he also had a monster with him... which meant there was even more unknown danger...
The Shangqing Boy stared at the unfamiliar human.
Xiao Xiao smiled faintly.
"Hello."
The Shangqing Boy was taken aback.
Then it gave a small nod.
"Hello."
The Elegant old man noticed nothing amiss.
The old man beamed at the young friend's arrival.
Every conversation with his young friend left him feeling refreshed.
He looked forward to each of the young man's visits.
Xiao Xiao was about to say goodbye.
The old man wasn't alone.
A faint smile appeared in his eyes.
"It's raining."
The Shangqing Boy
