"It's me." The man stood up, his tall frame making Ling Xi look exceptionally petite.
The few people behind him exchanged glances with each other. What kind of charade were they playing? Did they already know each other?
Several huge question marks appeared in their minds, especially in the mind of someone who was a bit slow.
...When had the two of them met, and why didn't he know about it?
"I want to take one more person with me. You set the terms." Ling Xi cut straight to the point.
"May I ask why?" A flicker of light danced in the man's eyes as he leaned slightly closer to Ling Xi with a smirk that was not quite a smile.
"Private reasons. Just tell me what conditions I need to meet to take one more person from here." Ling Xi's eyebrows furrowed slightly as she stepped back a bit.
She didn't like strangers getting too close to her, especially the oppressive feeling the man in front of her gave her, which she found rather irksome.
