"Dad, are you in here?" Li Sui pushed open the door to a dust-covered woodshed, her face etched with disappointment.
She was about to search the next room when Gao Zhijian stopped her. "D-don't... don't... don't s-search... l-like... that!"
Li Sui wrinkled her nose, looking displeased. "You talk so slowly. Can I crawl inside your body to hear you speak?"
Gao Zhijian shook his head vigorously and led Li Sui into the now-unsealed Capital City.
Senior Brother Li's daughter may look human now, but she isn't. It's far too dangerous for such a creature to remain in the Capital City. It's better to send her back to Niuxin Village first. As for Senior Brother Li... I can only figure out what to do about him after I've taken her back.
Honestly, Gao Zhijian felt a bit dejected. He'd thought his status was something special, that he could actually be useful to Senior Brother Li, but it turned out he was nothing at all.
