Erniu was agitated.
When he had sensed Xu Qing's aura earlier, he found it utterly unbelievable. Now, staring at Xu Qing, the waves in his mind grew even more turbulent.
The sheer joy of their reunion after so long surged through his heart and soul, leaving him momentarily unable to fully process it.
After all, they hadn't seen each other in ages, and meeting here, of all places, struck him as beyond improbable.
So, he blurted out a question he would later deeply regret:
"Little Qing, how are you here? And those people blocking the way outside just now—who were they?"
Xu Qing thought for a moment and decided honesty was best. He replied softly,
"My subordinates."
Erniu's mind quaked, his eyes widening.
He hadn't seen clearly earlier and didn't know what had happened outside, but he could sense that those people had left after Xu Qing arrived.
