Ning Xuan had finally figured it out. He understood why Ye Qingqing had no intention of attacking him and why the three commanders, whose Cultivation was clearly inferior to the old man's, remained unharmed.
Right, could that Defensive Barrier be the same? Ning Xuan immediately thought of the barrier outside.
The old man nodded with a smile. "A promising young man, indeed!"
At that moment, Qian Yourong worked up her courage, jogged over to Ning Xuan, and whispered, "Quick, bully me!"
"Ah? Here? That's not very appropriate, is it?"
Qian Yourong faltered for a moment, her cheeks flushing crimson as she glanced at the old man opposite them. She lowered her head even further, her voice as faint as a buzzing mosquito. "I didn't mean *that* kind of bullying!"
"Master, bully me too!" San Wu piped up, running over to join the fun.
"Master, I can do it too!" This was Xiao Bai's voice.
Opposite them, the old man's eyes widened in shock. "Are young people really so wild these days?"
