Pei You, who couldn't wait any longer, swallowed nervously and spoke stumblingly, "Xiao, Master Xiao."

"Um, is the death of the child..."

The girl clasped her hands on her knees.

"no."

Xiao Xiao's clear answer made the girl couldn't help but smile and murmured, "That's great, I knew it wasn't it."

She did doubt it at first.

But, she heard it.

She heard its cry for help.

It's asking for help. So, does that mean it's also in danger?

The child died not because of it.

Because it too is in trouble.

She thought this, but she was worried that she was trying to excuse it and felt ashamed of herself for having such thoughts.

Now that she got Master Xiao's answer, she was really relieved.

It was the first monster she encountered.

It was also the first monster's voice she heard.

Even if she couldn't see it, even if there wasn't even a word of conversation between them, it was already different in her heart.

She didn't hope that it would be a monster that would harm humans.

If possible, she hopes that they can become friends.

...

"Is the child's death just an accident?"

"Is it his own fault?"

"No murderer?"

The problem that Pei You was worried about was solved, and Pei Liang asked his doubts.

Something always feels wrong.

...

"no."

Xiao Xiao's words stunned both brothers and sisters.

"Master Xiao, didn't you mean-"

Pei You hesitated and said, "Isn't it its fault?"

"Well, it's not its fault."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

"Could someone be deliberately murdering?"

Pei Liang exclaimed, then frowned and began to think about whether the child's family had offended anyone? Or was it just a coincidence?

"Intentional murder...?"

Xiao Xiao chewed on the word, "Maybe it's more appropriate to say intentional homicide."

"Also, the murderer is not human either."

...

"Intentional murder?!"

"not human?!"

Pei You and Pei Liang's mouths opened wider than the other.

"Um."

"It's a monster."

Xiao Xiao was very kind and answered their questions.

...

"monster?"

Pei You suddenly thought of something and his eyes widened suddenly, "Master Xiao, you mean, there are other monsters in that river?"

"Yes, an uninvited outsider."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

...

"Outsiders?"

"That's it."

Pei You murmured to himself, "Then it..."

"Master Xiao, how is it?"

Pei Liang was the first to ask Pei You a hesitant question.

"how's it going?"

Xiao Xiao smiled, "Of course it got the punishment it deserved."

Kill for life.

...

"Deserved punishment?"

The two brothers and sister spoke in unison and then looked at each other in tacit understanding.

When Pei You wanted to ask more specifically, she noticed the strength on her shoulders and turned her head subconsciously. She saw Pei Liang shaking his head at her.

Pei You was stunned for a moment. Although he was a little confused, he decided to listen to his brother and did not ask any further questions.

...

"It's getting late, I should go back to school."

Xiao Xiao stood up.

He said everything that needed to be said.

Now that the matter has been resolved, he can naturally leave.

.......

"Ah, Master Xiao, I'll give it to you."

Pei Liang stood up hurriedly, "I'll get the car keys."

"Master Xiao, please wait for me."

"sorry to bother you."

Xiao Xiao did not refuse.

...

"Pei You, Pei Liang, goodbye."

"Master Xiao, goodbye."

...

Watching Master Xiao's figure disappear deep into the gate, Pei Liang started the car again.

The car was quiet for a while.

Then, Pei You's confused voice rang out, "Brother, why didn't you let me continue asking just now?"

"Aren't you curious?"

"Of course I'm curious."

"That-"

"But Master Xiao doesn't want to say it."

"ah?"

"Master Xiao just vaguely said that the monster got the punishment it deserved... didn't he just not want to tell us the specific fate of the monster?"

"In this case, even if you asked at that time, I don't think Master Xiao would have answered you."

"On the contrary, it will make the other party unhappy."
