Duan Laoye, assisted by Old Li, approached Xiu Xi and felt an unusual surge of nervousness, especially when Xiu Xi's gaze landed on him.
Seeing an elder approaching, and although his attire didn't suggest he was a bad person, the teacher leading the group still protectively blocked in front of Xiu Xi: "May I ask who you are?"
"Hello, we would just like to have a few words with this student, it won't take up too much time," Old Li responded amiably.
But the teacher's vigilance didn't fade, and turning to look at the indifferent Xiu Xi, he felt full of suspicion—why were so many people looking for Xiu Xi?
He remembered it was supposedly Xiu Xi's first trip out of the province; how could he know so many people in Beidu?
Seeing that the teacher didn't respond, Old Li addressed Xiu Xi: "Student, my master wishes to have a word with you, would that be alright?"
Xiu Xi glanced at Duan Laoye and nodded at the teacher leading the group.
