Xia Xiaoyu clearly seemed a bit skeptical, perhaps due to the mysterious status of that person. However, after seeing the sincerity on Xu Qian's face, she realized he was not lying to her.
So, does that mean her friend is somewhat frightening?
"Yes, he also said that after ten o'clock tonight, you shouldn't go out!"
Xu Qian paused for a moment and then slowly said to Xia Xiaoyu.
"…"
Xia Xiaoyu was completely taken aback by Xu Qian's words, staring blankly at him.
But soon after, she smiled again. "Well, your mysterious friend must be mistaken; I have nothing planned tonight, so how could I possibly go out?"
"Let's hope that's the case!"
Xu Qian chuckled lightly, dissipating much of the tension in the air.
"…"
The smile that had just appeared on Xia Xiaoyu's face faded away again.
Her purpose for coming here was not to reminisce with Xu Qian. If she couldn't see his mysterious friend and get help, then nothing would change; everything would remain the same.
She wanted to find out what she had encountered these past few days—was it coincidence or had she truly encountered a ghost?
"There’s no need to be so heavy-hearted; just relax. Once my friend returns, I will immediately tell him about your situation! Don't worry too much!"
Xu Qian tried to comfort her to ease the growing tension.
"At this point, there's nothing else we can do!" Xia Xiaoyu said with a smile, though it was clear that her smile was forced.
"Don't worry. As long as we stay alert, some things can be prevented!"
Xu Qian wasn't sure what to say to comfort Xia Xiaoyu in her current mood.
"It's getting late; it's time for me to go. Sorry for the disturbance!"
Xia Xiaoyu glanced at the time, stood up, and said to Xu Qian.
"Alright, remember to call if you need anything!"
Xu Qian also stood up and replied to Xia Xiaoyu.
After seeing Xia Xiaoyu off, Xu Qian closed the door. However, just as he turned around, he found another person in the room.
With a high nose bridge, handsome cheeks, deep black eyes, and flowing light blue hair, dressed simply yet elegantly, he could outshine anything around him.
Xu Qian glanced at the handsome man who appeared in his line of sight and felt little surprise; instead, he looked at him calmly.
Who would have known that the friend with mysterious powers that Xia Xiaoyu was so eager to find was this incredibly handsome guy standing before him?
"You finally decided to show up!" Xu Qian said with a casual smile upon seeing the Handsome Man.
"I came to see if you were still alive!"
"I'm sorry to disappoint you!"
The Handsome Man wore a faint smile as they exchanged glances and shared a knowing smile.
"You've been away on business for long enough! I thought you were a corpse in the wilderness!"
Xu Qian completely relaxed, sitting on the sofa, smiled as he spoke.
"I got bored being stuck for too long, so I went out to get some fresh air!"
The Handsome Man still wore his signature smile, and the dimples that appeared with it perfectly showcased his rationality and maturity.
"Did you encounter anything new while you were out? Tell me about it!"
Xu Qian was very interested in this handsome guy who could provoke both admiration and jealousy, especially since he possessed abilities that ordinary people could not comprehend. She was eager to hear about his world and experiences.
"I didn't come across much, but I did encounter something unusual while passing through H City!" The Handsome Man formed a charming curve with his lips, pausing for effect.
"Oh? What happened?"
Clearly, the Handsome Man's words piqued Xu Qian's interest, and she couldn't help but ask.
"I passed by H City’s Twenty-Third Middle School and sensed several special energy signatures from the University. There were some lingering spirits and a few evil entities! I was planning to check out the University, but…"
The Handsome Man paused again, directing his gaze toward Xu Qian.
