Something special!
Hearing Gu Jianuo say that, Xu Le's breath caught. Had she discovered some of his secrets?
The Soul Tree? The Mother Tree World? Or the Forbidden Warlock?
Xu Le decided to ask for clarification:
"What do you mean, Miss Gu?"
"Have you really not noticed, Xu Le? I thought you were always very perceptive."
Hearing Gu Jianuo say that, Xu Le immediately realized she had not discovered the secrets on him. Rather, there was something on him.
Gu Jianuo had an exceptionally keen sense of smell.
When it came to detecting enemies, that sensitivity already surpassed Guyinduo Vision in certain respects.
There was something on him. Something unclean!
Most likely... it was the Shadow Demon they had failed to kill earlier.
The Shadow Demon could kill its host. He could not panic or give himself away.
Enter the tranquil state, then stay calm.
Xu Le tilted his head, putting on a puzzled expression:
"I think you must have seen wrong, Miss Gu."
Gu Jianuo froze. She wanted to warn him, but immediately realized there was more to his words.
Seen wrong, not smelled wrong?
Given Xu Le's powers of observation, he should not have made that kind of verbal mistake. It seemed he had noticed something.
"All right, perhaps I really did see wrong. I'm sorry."
Gu Jianuo thought Xu Le was talented, and observing him was also one of her assignments on this trip. Naturally, she had to give him a warning.
Xu Le was very grateful for Gu Jianuo's warning:
"It's all right. You meant well, Miss Gu Jianuo."
Their conversation was strange. Beside them, Wang Shu was baffled again. Why did this feel like those riddles from earlier?
"You two..."
Xu Le did not explain to Wang Shu. He had no time to explain, either.
