The door closed in front of the two old men.
It also shut out the child's cries, which grew almost hysterical afterward.
Old Master Tang stared blankly at the door.
He looked rather disheveled.
But more than that, he was worried.
This child...
Why had she reacted so strongly?
Old Master Tang looked at Old Master Jiang.
The child's behavior just now had left him feeling a little embarrassed.
Tangtang had pleaded so desperately.
That was why she hadn't listened to him and had seemed not to trust him...
Mm.
"It has been a while..."
Old Master Jiang furrowed his brows.
Why hadn't he thought about why the child had shut them out even though she was scared?
Huh?
Old Master Tang slowly voiced his thoughts. "That's a normal reaction, isn't it?"
He looked at Old Master Jiang.
What Old Master Jiang found even harder to accept was...
"I need to go into the child's room again."
"Right!?"
"Don't you think my reaction was a little over the top?"
"We could also find more people..."
He clenched his fists.
She couldn't eat or sleep well.
Old Master Jiang's eyes widened.
Old Master Jiang felt like he was about to explode with anger.
Old Master Jiang nodded slightly.
Why was he so angry?
She was only an eight-year-old child.
Old Master Jiang's mouth twitched slightly.
The words nearly made him roll his eyes.
Who was it...
How could she still react so strongly?
"Help me."
"That's not possible either."
Did they really think they could fool a "wily old fox" who'd lived most of his life, just because she was a child?
"But the child didn't."
He didn't want the child to do something so recklessly heroic.
He was asking Old Master Jiang for help.
