Before Yuan Yuxue could answer, Jie Zhouyan looked at him expressionlessly, then suddenly spoke in a cold voice that seemed to carry a hint of sarcasm in his calmness.
Very strange, Jie Zhouyan has also learned to mock others—
"Old-fashioned way of picking up girls."
"… "
The young Taoist priest's face suddenly turned red.
—In fact, he himself felt that this excuse was really poor.
Even though he felt that Yuan Yuxue looked very familiar, he knew deep down that someone like Yuan Yuxue, with such obvious physical features... To put it bluntly, someone who was so beautiful, he would never forget her once he had seen her.
So his words were indeed, as Jie Zhouyan said, some kind of clumsy and old-fashioned pick-up technique that young people nowadays don't bother to use.
The young Taoist priest closed his mouth awkwardly, his lips pursed into a straight line, but the emotions in his heart were complicated and suspicious. He didn't have the courage to look at Yuan Yuxue again, and naturally didn't notice that Yuan Yuxue's eyes looking at him were actually somewhat... thoughtful.
This awkward atmosphere was not broken until they successfully followed the traces left by the ghosts, left this dark place that was opposite to the normal world, and returned to the backstage of the theater.
—The bodyguards who were anxiously trying to find the young master Yuan who had suddenly disappeared in the theater finally found him.
Yuan Yuxue had been away for quite some time and suddenly disappeared. The bodyguards were so panicked that they were sweating profusely. When they came over, their faces were pale and they were obviously frightened.
If Yuan Yuxue doesn't show up again, there will be more than just a few people coming to the theater looking for Young Master Yuan.
The bodyguards even suspected that this was a kidnapping case.
Even so, when they saw Yuan Yuxue, they did not feel any resentment towards her. Instead, they felt more scared and ashamed - mainly ashamed that with so many people, they could still lose two living people.
The bodyguards looked over cautiously. Although they did not ask, Yuan Yuxue took the initiative to explain when she saw their frightened expressions:
"I just took a look around the basement backstage."
This statement was indeed true, they just weren't hanging around backstage in a normal theater.
Just now, the bodyguards had actually searched the basement and did not find any trace of the young master and his men. But at this time, they only felt guilty that they were too careless and probably did not search the basement thoroughly. They did not doubt that Yuan Yuxue had deceived them - in fact, Yuan Yuxue did not need to deceive them.
Having lost sight of the young master before, the bodyguards followed him even more closely, not leaving his side for even a step.
The young Taoist priest had actually been following Yuan Yuxue and the others, but he just didn't say anything.
At this moment, he looked at Yuan Yuxue again with an unusually calm expression, then looked at the bodyguards around him, as if thinking about something, and vaguely confirmed his identity.
Since the ghosts in the theater have been dealt with and the purpose of his coming here has been achieved, it would be inappropriate for him to stay any longer.
