As the evening approached, Bai He supported Ruan Li as they walked back, and not far ahead, they encountered Bai Ci conversing with others.
At this moment, Bai Ci's face was both unruly and handsome, exuding a commanding yet composed aura, unmistakably conveying the presence of a leader.
He seemed to notice Ruan Li, his gaze sweeping over to them.
Ruan Li whispered into Bai He's ear, "Who is that?"
"Uncle Bai," Bai He explained, noting that Uncle Bai was the beastman who had looked after them since childhood, now advancing in age.
He ambiguously mentioned living here in the past, and Ruan Li did not probe further.
Seeing that conversations were still happening over there, Bai He and Ruan Li lingered at a distance.
Only when Uncle Bai left did Bai Ci walk over to them.
"Where did you go this afternoon?"
Ruan Li replied, "Just wandered around the area."
"Want to have dinner at Uncle Bai's tonight?"
