Elder Xue Sees Xu Yi

The silver-haired old man looked at her. He did not ask anything else upon seeing that her expression was relaxed and casual, as if it was just an ordinary friend. Instead, he mentioned Xu Yi. "By the way, the… young man we just met is also your friend?"

Qiao Nian knocked on the teacup and looked at him with her dark eyes. She nodded after a second. "He's not from this circle. He just wants to do his research."

Elder Xue was smart. How could he not understand what she meant? He immediately explained with a faint smile, "I don't mean anything else. I just noticed that he looked like an old friend, so I couldn't myself."

Qiao Nian nodded and did not reply.

Elder Xue leaned back and continued, "However, given that person's personality, he should have nothing to do with him. Otherwise, I would have known your friend."
