Jiang Yu frowned warily at Li Xian's unusual obedience, watching him with distrust.
...Could he have something else up his sleeve?
But his skill prevented people from taking items out of their inventory or putting them back. In theory, this kid shouldn't have had time to retrieve any other items.

That unease made Buzz-Cut Man want to return to Small Town as soon
