If Master Xiao really knew something...
Wouldn't that be perfect?
Then Lu Xiaoxiao could find out whether there was anything dirty on her.
But...
Come to think of it...
"Could Master Xiao really be a master?"
Ye Zimeng murmured.
At the time, they'd just thought the title sounded fun.
Little Deer had been the first to start calling him that.
So they'd all followed suit.
Now that they thought about it...
Had they been naive back then?
But she didn't ask.
She'd been there when they started calling him that.
She knew everything Lu Xiaoxiao knew.
Besides, they'd talked a little about the title Master Xiao afterward.
They hadn't come up with anything.

She looked at Lu Xiaoxiao, her voice tinged with excitement.
"Little Deer, go ask Master Xiao."
"Then you'll know everything, won't you?"

"Say you met someone who told you there was something dirty on you."
"You asked them a bunch of questions."
"They didn't know the answer to any of them."
"Then they told you to go find Master Xiao."
"They said you'd understand once you saw him."
"So you came to find Master Xiao."
Ye Zimeng rattled off the whole story.
"How's that?"
"Isn't it simple?"
Lu Xiaoxiao: ...
