Looking at Xia Yan, who was similar to Xia Xuan but clearly more stable, Bai Qi gave an awkward smile, grasped Xia Yan's hand, and asked, "The 'Lao San' you mentioned, is it Xia Xuan?"
Xia Yan chuckled and replied, "Yes, Lao San has always been spoiled. If he ever caused any trouble for you, I apologize for him."
"Not troublesome at all, I actually find him quite likable."
Giving away materials for free, how could he not be?
"That's good. I was worried that Lao San's temperament would make him cause unnecessary strife outside."
Xia Yan nodded, looked at the exploration team of the association behind Bai Qi, and asked, "Bai Qi, are you also here to explore the Emperor's Secret Realm? That's convenient; we can have a good chat. I am also considered half a Beast Master in the Mechanical Engineering Department, we can exchange some insights."
"Uh, I'm just a freshman, probably nothing good to talk about. Let's just concentrate on exploring the secret realm."
