As she curiously scrutinized him, Xiaobei heard him speak softly.
"Some people look at the surface, but I look straight into the heart. That’s why I can see a lot of things that others can’t."
Upon hearing such a frank response, Xiaobei’s eyes lit up, "Oh, that’s really impressive."
"It’s alright, but sometimes seeing too much isn’t necessarily good."
Hearing such a forlorn remark, Xiaobei knew this person had truly experienced many things in the past.
Many of those experiences must have been quite unhappy for him.
Realizing she still didn’t know who he was, Xiaobei quickly and directly asked, "By the way, may I ask who you are?"
"I’m just a gatekeeper, so it’s not important! This place used to be very bustling, and I’ve witnessed life’s various facets here. But now, it’s completely silent. Since you have connections with the Cao Family, you should know what this place is."
Xiaobei glanced at the grand architecture and nodded gently, "Yes, I know, this was once the ancestral home of the Cao Family!"
"Since you know, I won’t explain further. If you have nothing to do, you should leave, as it’s quite dangerous inside."
Upon hearing such a solemn warning, Xiaobei looked into the distance, "Dangerous? How dangerous can it be?"
"Let me put it this way! If you go inside, you might not make it back out."
"That terrifying? Let me ask, has anyone gone in over the years?"
"People have come to the outside before, but not a single person has broken through the outer killing array to get here. So you are the first person in many years to appear before me. Because of this, I genuinely don’t want you to go inside, as once you do, you may never come out."
"Have you ever gone inside? Can you tell me about the situation inside?"
"I have never been in! I’m responsible for guarding here, so I won’t go inside."
"I understand."
Xiaobei smiled softly and turned to face the ancient courtyard in front.
Without approaching, Xiaobei could feel the aura of faded glory...
Xiaobei knew it was truly extraordinary.
But the more so, the more interested Xiaobei became in it.
The person saw Xiaobei’s interested expression and took a step back gently.
Xiaobei was a bit surprised to see him make way for her, "You... you’re not stopping me?"
"As long as you’re willing to go in, I certainly won’t stop you, but you must bear the consequences yourself."
"Alright! Then I’ll take a look inside, and when I come out, let’s have a good talk."
Saying this, Xiaobei stepped forward resolutely...
Watching Xiaobei walk further away, he smiled meaningfully. After smiling, he calmly walked off into the distance and sat down quietly.
As soon as he was seated, he sensed the scent of medicinal herbs.
Turning his head, he spotted a white rabbit, a white wolf, and a black tiger appeared...
Seeing them, he was originally prepared to chat with them, but they quickly walked away.
"Judging by their actions, they seem to be with the kind-hearted young man from earlier."
After making such a judgment, he squinted his eyes.
He was not surprised at all because he felt the young man was fortunate to have such companions.
"With their assistance, his chances of coming out safely are much higher."
After saying this, he quietly picked a red wild fruit and tasted it with a composed expression.
Right now, he planned to wait here...
To have a good chat with Xiaobei when she emerges.
He had grown more interested in Xiaobei.
