The young man did not hesitate and shouted directly as the old man said.
Such simplicity surprised Xiao Xiao.
Then I thought that he was Mr. Jiang’s grandson after all, and the demon master should have met him a lot.
Such natural behavior is normal.
"Hello."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
…
"Mr. Jiang, thank you this time."
The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth curled up.
"I didn't expect to receive your call so soon."
"Don't thank me in a hurry."
The old man waved his hands.
"I still don't know if that monster is the monster Xiao Xiao is looking for."
"If not, then little friend Xiao Xiao's happiness will be in vain."
"Then I'm sorry."
This is what the old man is worried about now.
…
"Won't."
Xiao Xiao shook his head, "Whether it's Xiao Yi or not, I'm very grateful to Mr. Jiang."
The wrinkles at the corners of the old man's eyes relaxed, "If it's not the case anyway, I'll help you continue to look for it."
"I will always find it for you."
"Um."
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows arched, "Then thank you Mr. Jiang."
…
"Grandpa, can you drive in?"
Jiang Sheng slowly stepped on the brakes.
"Um."
Mr. Jiang nodded, "Drive in."
"We're going to take some time."
"Park the car in the community."
"OK."
The car slowly drove towards the barrier.
…
Mr. Jiang looked outside.
Then he turned to look at Xiao Xiao, "Master Xiao, we're here."
"right here."
…
Xiao Xiao looked outside.
Outside is a very common unit building.
He got off the bus.
Look around.
It is a quiet and old community.
…
"Little friend Xiao Xiao."
Mr. Jiang walked up to Xiao Xiao and said, "He lives on the sixth floor of this building."
Then, he looked at his grandson in the driver's seat, "Shengsheng, do you want to stay here? Or come up with us?"
"Grandpa, go ahead."
Jiang Sheng waved his hand, "I'll wait for you in the car."
You can't see it anyway, so there's no difference between going up and staying here.
He has already looked away.
Instead of going up there and acting like a fool, you might as well blow the air conditioner in the car and play with your phone.
Much more comfortable.
…
"good."
Mr. Jiang smiled.
He looked at Xiao Xiao and said, "Little friend Xiao Xiao, let's go up."
"Um."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
…
The door of the unit building was blocked by a small stone and was not closed tightly.
Xiao Xiao opened the door.
Mr. Jiang walked in.
Xiao Xiao then followed.
The iron door slowly closed behind him.
It makes a slight and somewhat dull sound when it hits a small stone.
…
"Dong dong~"
Mr. Jiang knocked on the door.
The door opened quickly, revealing a... familiar figure?
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows lightly.
Should he sigh... Where can we not meet each other in life?
...
"Mr. Jiang."
The smile that was just half on the young man's face froze.
He saw another person behind the old man.
Before he could be surprised that the old man had brought someone else with him, he saw clearly the other person's face that impressed him deeply.
He is a stranger who cannot be called a stranger.
…
"Xiaojie, excuse me."
Mr. Jiang narrowed his eyes and smiled.
But soon, he discovered that the atmosphere was strange.
He looked at Xiaojie, and then followed Xiaojie's gaze to look at little friend Xiao Xiao.
There was surprise and confusion on his face, "Do you know each other?"
"do not know."
The young man whom Mr. Jiang called Xiaojie shook his head and denied it.
"I don't even know his name."
This is a fact.
...
Hearing this, Mr. Jiang was a little confused.
Yeah?
So why is the atmosphere between these two people so strange?
It's not like meeting for the first time.
...
"It's like we had a chance encounter."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"But it's true that I didn't introduce myself at that time."
"To say we know each other...maybe not appropriate."
...
"oh oh."
Mr. Jiang nodded.
That's right.
"That's a coincidence."
The old man sighed.
Sometimes things in the world are such coincidences.
"Let's stop talking at the door."
"Shall we go in first?"
Mr. Jiang looked at Xiaojie.
Xiaojie's hand holding the door handle suddenly tightened a bit.
After a few seconds, he took a few steps back.
There was a hint of reluctance in his expression.
"Mr. Jiang, please come in."
Young men still respect the senior brothers of the masters whom they want to become apprentices to.
Besides, Mr. Jiang has always been kind to him.
He also comforted him who was frequently rejected by his master.
Although there was a period of time...he deliberately avoided the other party because he didn't like hearing the other party's words to persuade him to give up his apprenticeship.
But later, after the old man stopped saying these words to him, he became more comfortable getting along with the old man.
After all, he is the senior brother of the master he wants to apprentice with, and he is willing to get closer to him.
Maybe with the old man's persuasion, the master would be willing to accept him as his disciple.
...
Looking at Xiao Xiao who followed him, the man twitched his lips.
He really wanted to close the door in front of this person who couldn't read people's faces at all.
But......
He is the person brought by master and senior brother.
He can't do this.
If Mr. Jiang is angry, the master will be even less likely to accept him as his disciple.
...
When Xiao Xiao walked into the house, the man closed his door heavily.
The haunting guy.
Why did he appear again?
Turning around and looking at Xiao Xiao's back, the man's eyes revealed a bit of suspicion.
The last time they met, it can be said that they broke up on bad terms.
Thinking of that time, I was frightened by this person...
The man's face really didn't look better.
...
Mr. Jiang stopped in the living room.
He turned around.
Xiao Xiao's expression didn't change much.
Xiaojie looked suspicious and wary at the same time.
His furrowed brows were almost knotted.
Mr. Jiang's eyes glanced back and forth between the two of them several times.
"Did something happen when you met before?"
"Can you tell the old man?"
...
The man pursed his lips.
He didn't want to talk about such embarrassing things.
He doesn't even want to remember it.
However, as soon as he saw Xiao Xiao, that memory came to mind.
The man slapped his mouth hard.
...
Seeing that the man had no intention of speaking, Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, let me speak."
Xiao Xiao briefly and comprehensively described the events surrounding the last meeting between the two.
The man on the side rolled his eyes but did not interrupt.
Because this person... spoke very objectively.
Although no matter how objective it is, it can't change the fact that he is embarrassing...
...
"So that's what happened..."
Mr. Jiang was stunned.
Then he looked at the man with a wry smile with a hint of amazement on his face, "You are really good at choosing people."
It was actually "stolen" to Master Xiao?!
He knew that if Master Xiao hadn't stopped him, the man would never have ended well.
At least he won't be standing here unscathed like he is now.
This silly boy.
The monsters around little friend Xiao Xiao are not easy to mess with.
Can't he see it?
...
"I didn't steal."
The man is very obsessed with this issue.
"I just took it away."
"Monsters are a source of danger."
"Once discovered, it must be dealt with."
...
These remarks... do have a bit of Mr. Jiang's tone.
