Gu Fan looked perplexed and asked, "Who is he?"
Neither Lin Xi nor Qian Ye answered his question, yet the glint in Lin Xi's eyes deepened Gu Fan's confusion. He had the feeling that this 'he' Lin Xi referred to was no ordinary individual.
Just then, the space-time door opened once more. Gu Fan glanced back at Lin Xi, a touch of worry on his face.
"It's okay, I can handle it." Lin Xi reassured him with a smile. With a meaningful glance towards Qian Ye, she conveyed her wish for Gu Fan to keep an eye on him.
Gu Fan readily understood Lin Xi's intention and said, "I'll come back for you in a few days. Take good care of yourself until then."
"Fine, I'll take care of myself." After she finished speaking, Gu Fan and Qian Ye stepped into the space-time tunnel together, and soon disappeared from Lin Xi's sight.
Lin Xi had a strange and ominous feeling. She feared the role switch could lead to chaos, much like the saying 'inviting the deity is easy; sending it away is hard.'
