Since the third brother can find the monster so quickly, there is a high possibility that the old man is by the monster's side.
After all, Third Brother's biggest advantage is that he can see monsters.
...
"So bold?"
Zhuge Yun clicked his tongue, "The monster didn't do anything to that old man?"
"correct."
An idea flashed in Zhuge Yun's mind, "The old man wasn't unconscious because of drowning, then-"
"Did he fall into a coma because of what the monster did to him?"
The more he talked, the more he felt it made sense, and his expression couldn't help but reveal a bit of excitement.
"no."
Unfortunately, Xiao Xiao's answer was like a basin of cold water dousing the excitement in his heart.
"Hey, isn't it?"
He was a little disappointed.
He thought he had guessed the truth.
"Then third brother, didn't the monster do anything to the old man?"
Such a good-tempered person?
Zhao Luzheng was confused.
"It saved the old man."
Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows lightly, "If it weren't for it, the old man would probably be dead by the time I arrived."
"oh."
Zhang Bo and others nodded blankly.
...
"etc."
Zhuge Yun suddenly realized something was wrong, "The monster saved the old man's life."
"but-"
"But the old man wants to...kill it and eat its meat?"
Xiao Xiao was silent.
However, Zhuge Yun didn't need Xiao Xiao to say anything.
Because the facts are very clear.
"Tsk, tsk, this is really true."
Zhuge Yun shook his head.
"Does the old man know that the monster saved him?"
Zhao Luzheng asked.
"I told him."
Xiao Xiao thought of the old man's changing eyes at that time, as well as his suspicion and unwillingness to admit it.
"Then he-"
Zhao Luzheng did not continue, but everyone understood what he wanted to ask.
"That monster's meat has no effect on the old man's illness."
Xiao Xiao answered the question incorrectly.
Zhao Luzheng and others were stunned for a moment, but they quickly understood what Xiao Xiao meant.
"Is it... that you gave up because it was useless?"
"Isn't this... a little ungrateful?"
Zhuge Yun twitched the corners of his lips, and then added, "Although it's not that I don't understand..."
Zhang Bo and Zhao Luzheng did not speak, but they looked somewhat in agreement with Zhuge Yun's words.
Just, "Understanding is understanding."
Zhao Luzheng frowned, "This approach..."
"Anyway, nothing happened in the end."
Zhang Bo shrugged, "Monster meat is useless."
"The old man won't even think about eating its meat."
"Isn't this good?"
"Even if the old man wants to eat it, he can't catch the monster, right?"
Zhao Luzheng muttered.
Don't talk now as if the old man can catch monsters if he wants to.
"That's true."
Zhang Bo nodded, "Fortunately, that monster is kind-hearted. Otherwise, just knowing that the old man has this idea, maybe the old man will not get anything good."
"If I knew that the person I saved was plotting against me, it would be up to me if I didn't beat that guy to death."
Zhuge Yun curled his lips.
"Fortunately, that monster is much more open-minded than you."
Zhang Bo's eyebrows jumped slightly.
Although the old man's actions are a bit unethical, thinking about the old man's situation still makes people sigh.
"Anyway, there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides."
"No matter what the old man does, he can't threaten that monster."
"Whether you have disdain or sympathy, just treat that monster as a good deed and don't argue with the old man."
"Boss, your idea is not fair and just at all."
Zhuge Yun teased.
"No way, who calls me a human being?"
Zhang Bo spread his hands.
"Isn't it nice that no harm is done to both parties?"
"Didn't that monster do the same thing?"
…
"Maybe that monster is lenient because of the sake of the third child."
Zhuge Yun had a new guess.
"Isn't that right, third child?"
He asked for confirmation.
Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly, "That's a gentle monster."
Like a kind and honest elder.
He was always calm about the old man's pursuit and entanglement.
He even extended a helping hand when the old man was in danger.
It said: This is a little favor for those who can see it.
Even without him, nothing would happen to the old man.
