Niu Xi stood in the courtyard, observing the warmth and coldness of the human interactions around him. Even though he had long seen through it, he couldn't help but feel chilled to the bone.
But just at this moment, there was a sudden whoosh, and he heard the sound of magical power rippling. Immediately afterward, a clan elder, who had always avoided him, appeared in front of him with a beaming smile.
"Niu Xi, I heard you have something to discuss with me. Feel free to say whatever is on your mind."
The clan elder's enthusiasm made Niu Xi feel both surprised and flattered.
This was something that had never happened before.
But he didn't think much of it. This elder had helped him a lot in the past, and held a prestigious position in the Zhu Family. His arrival brightened Niu Xi's face.
"Clan Elder—"
With the ups and downs, Niu Xi's eyes welled up with tears.
Zhu Qi saw this and felt rather awkward.
