"Wow! When did you come here? And how did you end up with Ignatius?"
Shen Xinghui couldn't suppress his growing excitement.
His words tumbled out hastily, making Qi Yu chuckle with amusement.
"I found him while I was tracking a monster," Ignatius explained. "There was something about him that reminded me of you, so I spoke to him. When he said he was from another world, I invited him to join us."
"You encountered a monster?! Are you okay?" Shen Xinghui asked, concern immediately replacing his excitement.
He knew that if he were to face a monster, he would have no chance of winning.
That fear made him anxious for Qi Yu's safety.
"Fortunately, I am built a little sturdier than most of people," Qi Yu reassured him. "There is no need to worry."
"In fact," Ignatius added, "when I arrived, he was just about to deliver the finishing blow to the monsy. I didn't even get a chance to step in."
Shen Xinghui felt a pang of discouragement.
