Young Master Hai gazed at Qin Xin, his playful smile gradually shrinking.
He glanced at the people behind Qin Xin: "With such a secret matter, Lan, it's better for us to talk in private."
This provoked another round of angry glances among the four men.
However, in the next second, Qin Xin's words turned their anger into pride: "No need. They're all my people."
Young Master Hai raised his eyebrow in surprise.
Unable to deal with these four "servant bodyguards," he was slightly annoyed.
"If that's the case, I'll be forthright," he seated himself next to Qin Xin, speaking earnestly, "Lan, I investigated the person you mentioned. Outwardly, he's a Red Robe Tutor at the Divine Academy, but in reality, he takes on smuggling jobs under the alias Red Snake. This time, he's been tasked by the Twelve Elders with an urgent mission. That's why you couldn't find him at the Divine Academy; his files have been taken by the Twelve Elders and won't be returned until the mission is completed."
