Lai Si paused.
He initially wanted to appear fierce.
But considering Bai Zhi'er is after all just a four and a half-year-old little guy.
He stammered, "Ah... right! Actually, your father asked us to take you home."
Bai Zhi'er tilted his little head: "My daddy asked you to come?"
"Yes, little girl, come with us, you'll see your father soon."
"But... Uncle, you've taken the wrong path, that way is the way down the mountain." Bai Zhi'er extended his small hand and pointed behind them.
Of course, Lai Si and his companions couldn't go back!
Otherwise, wouldn't they run into the teachers from Mingyang Academy!
Lai Si chuckled: "We're not taking that path, we're taking a shortcut."
Bai Zhi'er immediately nodded obediently: "Okay, let's set off quickly then!"
Lai Si didn't expect the child to be so easily deceived.
He exchanged a glance with his accomplice, seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
