The air briefly solidified.
Just as Qin Qing was about to turn around and flee,
the hunter named Zhong Hu suddenly shouted loudly, "Ah Bai, shut up!"
"Whimper..."
The White Phoenix Dog, scolded by Zhong Hu, immediately whined a few times and closed its mouth, no longer barking.
"Young Master Qin, don't make a sound!" Zhong Hu suddenly said in a deep voice.
"You know me?" Qin Qing frowned slightly.
"Young Master Qin, your father once saved me. If you don't make a sound, I'll say I haven't found you!" Zhong Hu whispered.
Qin Qing nodded.
He had not expected to encounter someone his father had saved, here of all places.
His father was acutely aware of justice and placed great emphasis on loyalty; in many people's eyes, he was a knight-errant.
Zhong Hu then took the White Phoenix Dog and pretended to search around once more.
Then, he returned to Shangguan Xuan with the White Phoenix Dog.
