JINGLE, JINGLE.
A sudden jingling sound rang out.
Qiao Xixi lowered her gaze and saw the Bone Bell hanging from Xueche's waist shaking violently.
His expression changed slightly as he stood up. "Sorry, my father is looking for me. I have to go back now."
Qiao Xixi hadn't realized he lived with his father and didn't dare delay him. "Then you'd better get going."
Xueche nodded, turned, and quickly left.
But just as he reached the door, he almost collided with the approaching Huang Yue.
With quick reflexes, Kunlin stepped in front of Huang Yue and shoved Xueche aside with his shoulder.
The force was too much for Xueche, and he stumbled sideways before crashing to the ground.
"Ah!"
The loud commotion outside startled Qiao Xixi inside the stone house.
She got up curiously and walked into the courtyard, where she saw Xueche on the ground.
"What's going on?"
Jin Ling strode forward and pulled Xueche up from the ground.
