As she turned her head, she unexpectedly met a pair of bright eyes.
Changtian slightly raised his head, and saw her with eyes widened in horror, murmuring: "Ah... Ali?"
Following her gaze, he indeed saw a seven-year-old girl hiding behind another pillar, looking at them with bewildered eyes.
When did this little ghost get here?!
Veins popped on Changtian's forehead. In an instant, he pulled Ning Xiaoxian into his embrace and covered her with his black robe's large sleeves. This was his prerogative, no one else, even a little girl, was allowed to see her. It was his distracted mind to blame, otherwise how could he have not noticed? He had long taken for granted that the Transmission Array allowed free passage, only Tu Jin and Qi Zai were outside. And Qiongqi had tactfully stayed on the fifth floor, it was only this naive little girl who had come down and messed up his plans!
