“Senior Logan, do you have any news about Guideng Temple over there? I asked many shopkeepers in the Luoxin district, but none of them knew anything about Guideng Temple. Please reply if you receive this.”

　　Wait... isn’t that my own voice?

　　And, isn’t this the voice message I just sent!

　　Olivia Bennett was stunned for a moment, then an indescribable joy welled up from her heart—the young man in front of her was actually a senior from the Jiuzhou group!

　　Lost and frustrated, Olivia Bennett suddenly felt like a drowning person grabbing onto a life-saving straw.

　　She hurried over in two quick steps to stand beside this ‘senior’ who looked like a young man!

　　Ethan Brooks had just clicked on the voice message that Olivia Bennett posted in the group. The soft voice, it really was a pleasant voice. At that moment, he suddenly felt someone move behind him.

　　A faint fragrance drifted into his nose, a light floral scent, mixed with the subtle fragrance unique to a woman.

　　Ethan turned his head and saw the long-legged, black-haired girl standing behind him with a look of delight, her eyes fixed on his phone.

　　“Jiuzhou Group No.1?” The black-haired girl’s gentle voice was filled with the joy of “meeting an old friend in a foreign land.”

　　At this moment, Ethan Brooks had no idea what kind of expression he should use to face this girl.

　　He didn’t even need her to introduce herself—if Ethan Brooks couldn’t guess her identity now, he might as well buy a block of tofu and knock himself out with it.

　　“Lingdie Island’s Olivia Bennett?” Ethan Brooks felt his own voice sounded unnatural and awkward.

　　“That’s me! May I ask, Senior, what is your Daoist title?” Olivia Bennett finally calmed down a bit and began to carefully size up this ‘senior.’

　　In her memory, except for Su Clan’s Ah Sixteen who just underwent her tribulation yesterday, every other member in Jiuzhou Group No.1 was a senior.

　　The senior in front of her looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, but of course, that couldn’t be his real age, right? He was about 1.75 meters tall, with a kind face, looking like someone easy to talk to.

　　A kind face... to put it bluntly, he had the face of a good guy, the type who easily gets friend-zoned.

　　And she couldn’t sense the senior’s cultivation level at all—it seemed his aura was completely restrained. When he stood in front of her, he blended in with ordinary people. This must be the realm of returning to simplicity, just like her father, right? That’s what Olivia Bennett thought.

　　Senior?! That title made Ethan Brooks’s liver ache a little.

Chapter 12: Senior Brooks, your phone is out of battery too

　　The black-haired girl looked to be just over twenty, while he himself had only just turned eighteen not long ago. Did he really look that old? Did he look like a grown man already?

　　And... Daoist title? He immediately thought of those chuunibyou group nicknames in the chat. Like True Monarch Huangshan, Logan Carter, XX Cave Master, XX Mansion Lord, and so on. His liver ached even more.

　　“Ahem, just call me Ethan Brooks. As for the Daoist title... let’s not mention that for now.” Ethan Brooks replied. He really didn’t want to be seen as a chuunibyou.

　　“Ah? Sorry, Senior. I forgot for a moment.” Olivia Bennett said apologetically. As a cultivator, it was common sense not to mention Daoist titles in front of others. She was just too happy and excited and forgot.

　　“Ahem, and don’t call me Senior anymore.” Ethan Brooks coughed twice. He felt his cold cough, which had been getting better, was about to relapse and get worse.

　　“Okay.” Olivia Bennett responded softly, but her heart sank—this senior didn’t seem very approachable? Well, not everyone in the group was as warm-hearted as Senior Logan.

　　Plus, this senior was clearly in the Luoxin district, but didn’t speak up in the group. Maybe he was the cold and indifferent type, and didn’t plan to help? Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.

　　Just as Olivia Bennett was letting her thoughts run wild, Ethan Brooks added, “Just call me Ethan Brooks directly.”

　　“Huh?” Olivia Bennett was stunned. “Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?”

　　“Please, just call me Ethan Brooks. If you really can’t bring yourself to say my full name, Ethan, Xiao Hang, Xiao Song—whatever you like.” Ethan Brooks said firmly.

　　If Olivia Bennett kept calling him Senior, he’d feel so embarrassed. This was the real world!

　　“Song Shu... Senior.” Olivia Bennett started to say, but felt awkward and still added “Senior” at the end.

　　But in her heart, she relaxed, and a happy smile appeared on her face—it seemed this senior was a good person, not the cold type. In that case, maybe he would help her!

　　Ethan Brooks reached out and rubbed his face hard, feeling completely defeated. “Fine, call me whatever you want.”

　　“Senior Brooks, are you here to help me?” Olivia Bennett asked happily.

　　“Let’s talk as we walk.” Ethan Brooks picked up the big bag in his hand. With two people and a big suitcase blocking the way, it was better to find a quiet place to talk.

　　Olivia Bennett immediately followed silently behind Ethan.

　　“I read the chat history in the group. The place you want to go is the Luoxin district of J City, right?” Ethan Brooks said.
