Watching Ming Huaxin's family drive away, Xiao Jinsheng returned home.
Xuan Jiu's disapproving voice rang out: "She doesn't trust you, yet you told her the truth. Aren't you afraid she'll stab you in the back?"
"If my superpower still worked, then at least you'd..." Xuan Jiu, reminded that his own superpower was unusable without Star Stones, felt stifled.
Back then, he had chosen to reveal the terminal's secret of devouring humans to Xiao Jinsheng.
It was because he relied on his mind-reading ability as insurance.
He had seen through Xiao Jinsheng's heart.
Knew that after learning the truth, even if she didn't trust him, she wouldn't put him in danger.
"I would never push my family into peril," Xiao Jinsheng explained. "Likewise, when I have the capability and know the truth, I won't turn my back on a friend."
"But she doesn't fully trust you," Xuan Jiu frowned. "If malicious intent arises, you'll be in danger."
