Old Master Xia continued, “When you talk about society’s cruelty, you’re essentially afraid of people looking at them with strange eyes.”
But given the status of our two families and the abilities of these two children, even if someone dares to think something, who would dare say it to their face? They’ll be falling over themselves to curry favor and will only say they’re a match made in heaven. Since you learned magic, you’re no longer ordinary people, so stop looking at things from an ordinary perspective.”
Luo Zhao listened desperately to the long speech, unable to respond. When he first saw Luo Yingbai with Xia Xianning, he felt like the sky was splitting apart and assumed the entire world would be as unable to accept this as he was.

After a long time, he turned over and suddenly noticed the small light on his phone blinking, indicating unread messages.
He picked up his phone and found several unread WeChat messages, including two from Luo Yingbai. Luo Zhao opened them:
