“Boss, you should bring Division Head Di and Zhan Tingting with you if you want to bring Xu Ye along. This way, someone can protect him,” Beitang Lie said as he stared at Xu Ye worriedly.

Xu Ye said matter-of-factly when he heard this, “I have Jiaojiao, right?”

Beitang Lie narrowed his eyes in disdain and sighed helplessly. “You sure want to be a third wheel. Do you think Mr. Quan will give you this chance?”

Xu Ye cleared his throat uncomfortably. A faint resentment rose in his eyes as he glanced at Quan Jue.

Quan Jue held Chi Jiao’s hand calmly without saying a word. He just shot Xu Ye an indifferent glance. Even so, it was enough to make him angry.

Xu Ye could feel an arrogant aura from Quan Jue.

This bastard was blatantly showing off to him!

“It’s too boring with only a few of us. Why don’t we bring Lanlan and the rest?” Chi Jiao’s eyes filled with joy at the thought of her best friends.

Ever since the holidays started, she had not seen them for a long time. She had been so busy during this period that she did not have the time to contact Yi Lanlan and the other two.

“You can ask your friends to come along. Beitang Lie’s two friends can also come. As for safety, leave it to me. My subordinates will take care of them,” Quan Jue said calmly.

“Your subordinates?” Xu Ye sized him up. He didn’t understand why Quan Jue would have subordinates.

“Xu Ye, didn’t you read the contents of the diary? The Xuan Sect, the number one sect in the past, still exists today. Brother Quan is a core figure there,” Chi Jiao explained.

Xu Ye’s expression changed slightly as he asked uncertainly, “You’re referring to that super organization mentioned in the diary? The one who only accepts Espers and can use array formations and forbidden techniques?”

Quan Jue said unhurriedly, “After that terrible incident regarding She Qi, even the sect masters of the Xuan Sect are not immediately allowed to learn forbidden techniques. This is so that incidents like She Qi won’t happen again.”

Quan Jue’s explanation proved that he was really from the Xuan Sect.

Xu Ye looked at him and fell silent for a moment. Although they were cousins, the difference between them was too great. He had to rely on Chi Jiao’s 117 to protect him, while Quan Jue was already taking charge.

Xu Ye knew that there was a certain gulf between them, but he had never realized just how wide the gulf was. Xu Ye finally understood Quan Jue’s strength.

At this thought, the light in Xu Ye’s eyes dimmed. He lowered his head to hide the helplessness that flashed across his eyes.

“Let’s go back and discuss where to go. Xu Ye, is there anywhere you want to go?” Chi Jiao stood up and asked him with a smile.

Xu Ye’s lips twitched. He said calmly, “I can go anywhere.”

Chi Jiao did not notice the disappointment in Xu Ye’s eyes. She nodded and handed him over to Beitang Lie and the rest before leaving the room with Quan Jue.
