Shen Zhui's face stiffened as he stopped in his tracks and awkwardly rubbed his nose.
Did he really repel children that much?
"Where did you get this child, and why he is so shy of strangers?" Shen Zhui asked Tuosen.
"It's a long story... Little Spirit, come here," said Tuosen without further thought. He patted Little Spirit on the head, "This is Tuosen's brother in life and death. He will never harm you."
Seeing Tuosen say this, Little Spirit seemed to let down his guard somewhat, but when he looked at Shen Zhui, his eyes were still filled with distrust.
Shen Zhui was puzzled by the child's reaction, feeling as if he had been cast as a bad guy.
However, he quickly put it aside. Such a minor issue was not crucial, what mattered was Tuosen's current predicament. What was it exactly?
