When Chongzong saw the girl running towards him, he wasn't sure if it was Bai Xuyu.

So he didn't say hello.

He just kept watching, hoping that the girl would look up so he could see her face clearly.

But the girl kept her head down.

It wasn't until they brushed past each other that Chongzong saw her profile.

Indeed, it was Bai Xuyu.

But why was she running with her head down?

She seemed a bit strange.

Not feeling completely at ease, Chongzong turned around and chased after her.

After catching up to Bai Xuyu, Chongzong tapped her on the shoulder.

"It's you, Bai Xuyu?"

Without waiting for an answer, Bai Xuyu suddenly sped up and started running even faster.

She ran without looking back.

This puzzled Chongzong even more.

No, he had to figure this out.

Chongzong picked up his pace and started chasing after Bai Xuyu.

Bai Xuyu ran fast, but Chongzong wasn't slow either.

Just after crossing a street, Chongzong caught up to Bai Xuyu and stood in front of her.

Both of them were panting heavily.

"Why are you running?" Chongzong questioned Bai Xuyu.

Bai Xuyu didn't answer, still gasping for breath.

On one hand, she was indeed out of breath.

On the other hand, she didn't know how to respond.

She had just started running without thinking.

She thought running away would solve everything.

But it turned out she hadn't escaped and was stopped instead.

Now it was really embarrassing.

"Bai Xuyu, why did you run just now?" Chongzong questioned again.

At this point, Bai Xuyu had no choice but to be straightforward.

"There's no reason, I was just scared by you."

"Scared?" Chongzong looked confused.

"Yeah, scared."

"If you were scared, why would you run like that?"

"Yeah, whenever I'm scared, I run."

"......Emmmm"

Bai Xuyu blurted out such a foolish statement, leaving Chongzong speechless.

Fine, since she said so, that's the explanation.

"Sorry for scaring you."

"No problem, a run will help me calm down."

This conversation was so awkward it froze the air.

If only he had known, he wouldn't have said hello.

"Well, you can continue your morning run, I won't disturb you anymore."

Saying that, Chongzong tried to escape from this awkward atmosphere.

Bai Xuyu felt relieved, finally freed from the situation.

But just as she saw Chongzong walking away, she couldn't help but speak up.

"Wait a minute."

"......Hmm?"

Chongzong stopped in his tracks and turned back.

Sure enough, there was something she wanted to tell him.

"Are you planning to go to Yasaka Shrine?"

Bai Xuyu wasted no time and asked directly.

The four characters of "Bashiyasha Shrine" immediately put Chongzong on alert.

Coupled with the knowledge that Bai Xuyu was Bai Yaxin's daughter, he immediately went into the highest level of vigilance.

But Bai Xuyu's thoughts on this matter were actually quite simple.

Seeing Chongzong's lack of reaction and unwilling to speculate on what he was thinking, she continued with her topic.

"I heard my father say on the phone that the 'thing' inside Bashiyasha Shrine is fake, and he even wants to set a trap to harm you all."

"I advise you not to make enemies with him, you are not his match."

"That's all I have to say, goodbye."

Having said all this to herself, Bai Xuyu turned around and continued her morning run.

This time Chongzong did not chase after her.

Instead, he remained in place, deep in thought.

- Since Manranyama Canlian has already learned about my movements, it's not surprising that Bai Yaxin knows too.

- Is this a trap, or is it that Bai Xuyu coming to tell me all this is the trap itself?

It won't be easy to bring down Bai Yaxin.
