"Uh..." Dugu Qianye looked at Zi Xiao in surprise.
Zi Xiao explained, "Little Douzi is older than Great Grandpa."
"What?! How could that be?" It was the first time Dugu Qianye had encountered someone who didn't physically age; she had truly thought he was just a child.
Zi Xiao shrugged his shoulders and replied, "He stopped growing after he turned twelve. If you have time, take a look and see if there is a cure."
"Okay. Let's head back first, and I'll see if there is a cure," Dugu Qianye said. She had never come across such a case before and didn't know if there was a solution.
Qie Yue looked at the Flame Army soldiers behind her. They saluted Dugu Qianye under her gaze. Dugu Qianye responded politely, simply smiling at the disdain in their eyes.
"Let's go in," Dugu Qianye said, holding Zi Xiao's hand, "Follow my steps. Although the barrier won't stop you, if you force your way through, you'll damage the formation." After speaking, she led Zi Xiao inside.
