"Get off me! Get off me!" Mr. Hei flew into a rage out of embarrassment and shook off Bai Qi's arm. "The reason I'm sending you is because you're fast! It's also easier for you to hide! Even with Bei Mingyuan's immense power, as long as you keep your distance and are careful, he won't notice you! Other than that, what use are you?"
"Oho, did I strike a nerve?" Bai Qi roared with laughter.
That was just his way. Nothing ever fazed him. He could be worrying one moment and acting as if nothing had happened the next.
Mr. Hei offered only one word in reply: "Scram!"
And so, for the past few days, Bai Qi had reluctantly given up his delicious meals to secretly tail Bei Mingyuan. Meanwhile, Xin Huohuo—when her emotions weren't running high—was a sensible girl who knew some things were better left unasked. So, she didn't press for details and obediently began learning offensive Spells, though it felt more like being thrown in at the deep end.
