"I heard there might be a Half-step Epic Level Shadow Object roaming around here. Is that true?"
As soon as Su Yan uttered these words, both the owner of the ancient house and Sister Zhou, who was beside him, couldn't help but be taken aback. The topic of conversation had jumped too quickly, leaping from casual chatter about group photos to the subject of Half-step Epic Level Shadow Objects. It was hard for anyone to react immediately.
After a moment to collect themselves, Sister Zhou merely sipped her tea silently, saying nothing more. On the surface, she appeared calm, but inside, her thoughts churned like turbulent waves.

Didn't he see that the owner of the ancient house is grieving his three deceased children? Indeed! Academic prodigies like him might be incredible at studying, but they tend to be lacking in other areas.
