Jian bit his tongue when he finally discovered who Asher had tried to contact. He was not surprised that the half-dragon had reached out to Kyle instead of anyone else, given that Kyle was the first person he had met in the Lost Treasure Tomb.
Now, seeing Asher's expression, it was clear to Jian that after Kyle didn't respond, the half-dragon hadn't attempted to reach out to anyone else, thinking they no longer wanted to stay in touch with him.
Jian wanted to explain why Kyle couldn't respond to him or come to help. After all, he knew that the news about Kyle's soul being trapped in that vile place was known only to those who had witnessed it and those who had heard. It was evident that Asher had no idea what had happened to Kyle, but he couldn't find the right words.
Asher noticed Jian's silence and grew even more distressed, convinced that his belief about Kyle ignoring him because he found him annoying was ultimately true.
