Seeing that Wen Ying and the others were unwilling to leave, the old man seemed to get a little agitated.
Song Jiayan explained the situation to him. After listening, the old man exclaimed, "Foolish, so foolish! This place isn't safe. Are those people so desperate for money they'd endanger others like this?!"
But in the end, the old man said no more and turned to leave.
His back looked lonely and stooped.
"Sister Yingying, you don't think something will actually happen, do you?"
"How about you two wait here? I'll go check it out by myself."
"No way! I didn't abandon you in front of the Hou family, and I certainly won't now!" Xu Jiali's tone was firm.
Song Jiayan also nodded, his gaze resolute.
He had to prove he wasn't the kind of person who abandoned his teammates and friends.
He couldn't let Wen Ying take the risk alone.
"Don't worry, everyone. It's probably just a rumor. The people here have likely grown up hearing those legends, so they'd rather be safe than sorry."
