"What's going on? How did she just disappear...?"
Yang Xiao was completely bewildered by Xue Yi's sudden disappearance.
And he was worried.
'This won't do. I have to go find her.'
Instinctively, Yang Xiao started to leave and search for Xue Yi.
But he stopped after taking only a single step.
'Where would I even look? Damn it. Rewinding time lets me see what happened, but it doesn't reveal anything more. If I find out who's behind this...!'
Yang Xiao was furious.
But he also knew that for someone to silently take Xue Yi away from right under his nose, their power must be immense. Otherwise, he would have surely sensed something, even while comprehending the Heart of Time.
An existence like that...
'Even if I did find them, what could I do?'
'It would just be humiliating myself.'
Besides...
'From the way they acted, it doesn't seem like they meant any harm to me or Xue Yi. Otherwise, with their level of power, killing me would have been easy.'
But they didn't.
Clearly...
