Xin Huohuo and Bai Qi froze. They glanced at each other, spun around in unison, and finally laid eyes on Mr. Hei's face—as black as the bottom of a pot, but still handsome.
He stood there with his arms crossed, looking absolutely furious.
Bai Qi suddenly felt a pang of guilt, not knowing what to do with his hands. He wanted to hide from Mr. Hei's gaze but didn't know where to go, feeling like he was being roasted over a fire. Suddenly, he was reminded of their childhood. He had once done something wrong that even their master hadn't noticed, but Mr. Hei had seen it all clearly and ended up taking the blame for him...
'What a great brother! But did you have to be so smart? It just makes me look extra stupid in comparison.'
Beside him, Xin Huohuo's gaze lingered on Mr. Hei's face for a moment before skipping past him to the tall man standing behind. 'The great demon lord, Bei Mingyuan. What are you doing here at a time like this?'
Then, she grew flustered.
