Really?!
The gray Zhu Nü could hardly believe it.
Xiao Xiao smiled.
He turned around.
Huh!?
The girls all froze.
A hint of panic appeared on their faces.
They had been staring at Master Xiao's back the whole time.
When Master Xiao suddenly turned around, they were caught off guard and startled.
They also felt a little guilty.
Once they came to their senses, they couldn't help laughing at themselves. What did they have to feel guilty about?

She didn't know.
She pressed her lips together.
