Chapter 3449: Scare Him

Xie Jiwen almost wanted to curse and say, Who the h.e.l.l is your big brother?!

But as a civilized person, Xie Jiwen simply cursed secretly. He didnt actually curse out loud.

Seeing Xie Jiwen suppressing his anger, Han Zhuofeng felt much better.

So what if he was Xie Jilings big brother?

!!

Xie Jiwen shouldnt look at him like he was an enemy, right?

All he did was hold Xie Jilings hand!

Had Xie Jiwen never held a girls hand?

Han Zhuofeng pouted as he thought.

He then heard Xie Jiling say to Xie Jiwen. This is my client.

Han Zhuofeng was dumbfounded that he got labeled as a mere client.

Although there was nothing wrong with what Xie Jiling said

Xie Jiling came here because she had accepted Han Zhuofengs commission.

However, Han Zhuofeng still felt really sad upon hearing it.

He felt wronged as he looked at Xie Jiling and said, I thought we were friends.

We are friends, Xie Jiling replied without any hesitation, But I came here because I accepted your request. I have to keep business and personal affairs separate.

Han Zhuofeng was speechless.

Xie Jiwen couldnt help but laugh.

Did you think I didnt see you mocking me earlier?

You think you have a good relations.h.i.+p with our familys Jiling, right?

How do you feel now?

How do you feel after hearing her say that youre just a client and business is separate from personal matters?

Are you happy?

Are you surprised?

Xie Jiwen immediately stopped smiling. His eyes turned cold as he cast a glance at Xie Jiling and Han Zhuofengs intertwined hands. He immediately asked, Why are you two holding hands?

Han Zhuofeng was speechless.

Were the members of the Xie Family always this straightforward?

They would say anything that came to their minds, and they would never say it in a tactful manner.

It happened earlier as well. Xie Jiwen had just asked about his relations.h.i.+p with Xie Jiling.

Wasnt that awkward?

Without even thinking, Han Zhuofeng knew how Xie Jiling would answer.

As expected, he heard Xie Jiling say, Its too foggy here. Although we are tied together by the string, Im scared that something dangerous might happen, and hell disappear without making a sound.

Moreover, Han Zhuofeng was scared.

And so, Xie Jiling didnt realize what was wrong with holding hands.

Xie Jiwen felt as though Han Zhuofeng was trying to trick his familys Jiling.

Xie Jiwen narrowed his eyes and stretched his hand out. He said, Since I am here, I will hold your hand and walk you around.

Han Zhuofeng was speechless.

He didnt trust Xie Jiwen.

He had a feeling that Xie Jiwen would find a chance to ditch him together with Xie Jiling!

Thankfully, before Han Zhuofeng could even say anything, Xie Jiling shook her wrist and said, Our wrists are tied together by the string.

Xie Jiwen gnashed his teeth and said, Untie the string then.

Xie Jiling looked at Xie Jiwen weirdly.

Just when did Xie Jiwen become such a busybody?

In this situation, they didnt have the leeway to untie and tie the string again.

As such, Xie Jiling waved her hand in a carefree manner and said, Its alright. I can hold his hand. It will waste a lot of time to untie the string and tie it again.

Xie Jiwen didnt know what to say.

This little sister of his was so dense!

Han Zhuofeng hastily nodded and said, Yes. We shouldnt waste our time. Look at how foggy it has become.

Han Zhuofeng wasnt lying.

The fog had become much thicker than before.

Previously, the brightness talisman in Xie Jilings hand could illuminate until they could see the two strange rocks. But now, they could only see half of the second rock.

They could only see the shadow of the second strange rock.

Lets go. Lets meet up with the others. Xie Jiwen had no choice but to say.

This really wasnt the time to talk to Xie Jiling about this.

But once they were done with their official business, he would have a good chat with both Xie Jiling and Han Zhuofeng.

Meet up? Xie Jiling was surprised and happy, Did someone from the family come as well?

Xie Jiwen said, No. Its not a family member.

Since Xie Jiling and Han Zhuofeng would meet the person later, Xie Jiwen said, You know her as well. Shes Hu Kaiyin, a member of the Mount Lan Compound.

Xie Jiling was surprised and said, Why are you here with Sister Kaiyin?

When Han Zhuofeng heard this, he secretly chuckled and thought to himself, So hes not here by himself?

For some reason, Xie Jiwen ignored Xie Jilings question and said, Hu Kaiyin and I were around the area, and we met four students. They heard about the legend of Ghost Town. So, they hid from the staff members and secretly stayed.

I was worried that those people might disobey and wander away, so I asked Hu Kaiyin to stay there first, Xie Jiwen said, I gave her a brightness talisman and drew a formation around those people. If they were the only ones there, I would have to worry about them running away, resulting in my effort drawing the formation to be wasted.

So, I asked Hu Kaiyin to wait there first and make sure that those students would stay right there. Xie Jiwen said.

With Hu Kaiyin there, those students were like chicks in a coop. They couldnt go anywhere.

With the area formation drawn, even if there were something, it wouldnt be able to hurt them. Xie Jiwen said, I decided to investigate the surrounding areas and see if anyone else was still hiding. If there were other people still hiding, I would gather them all together, which will make it easier for me to protect them.

Hu Kaiyin has a brightness talisman. We just need to locate them by following the light.

Xie Jiling nodded, and the three went there together.

Xie Jiwen could somewhat remember the directions toward that place.

As long as those people stayed there, even if the direction they were going wasnt exactly right, they would still find the light from the brightness talisman.

The brightness would still be seen if they were close enough.

Han Zhuofeng pretended as though there was no one else present. He held Xie Jilings hand and felt really happy.

And being his mischievous self, he asked, Big Brother, Jiling just asked you why you were with Hu Kaiyin, but you didnt answer.

Xie Jiwen remained silent.

Han Zhuofeng asked again, Big Brother, why wont you talk?

After a few moments of silence, Xie Jiwen slowly turned his head and asked, What did you ask earlier?

Han Zhuofeng was not mentally prepared for it. He looked up and saw Xie Jiwen s.h.i.+ning his own face with the flashlight.

The shadows staggered on his distinctive physical features.

His tall nose, tall forehead, and sharp chin appeared really bright.

However, Xie Jiwens eye sockets were deep, which made his eyes and the area around it appear really deep and dark.

Xie Jiwen lowered his head on purpose and rolled his eyes backward.

In addition, it was dark and foggy everywhere. He couldnt see anything.

As such, Xie Jiwen appeared even more terrifying.

Didnt Xie Jiling say that Han Zhuofeng was scared?

He wanted to see if Han Zhuofeng was actually scared.

What did you ask earlier? Xie Jiwen intentionally slowed down and deepened his voice as he said this.

Ah! Han Zhuofeng screamed and held on to Xie Jiling.

His scream was so loud even people far away could probably hear it.

Xie Jiling was speechless.

Xie Jiwen was dumbfounded.

Was this guy really a scaredy-cat?

Xie Jiling didnt know what to do. Big Brother, I already told you that hes scared. Why did you intentionally scare him?
