”Cough, cough.”

To prevent the topic from getting out of focus as they walked in a weird direction, Uncle Ye Xiong interrupted them. ”Disciple, don't forget what you're here for.”

Lu JinNian smiled awkwardly, ”Understood, Master.”

Only then did he turn to Lu Qingming and said, ”Big Brother Qian Ming, little sister won't disturb you from your studies anymore. Master and I will take a walk around the academy and I will come and find you later. Oh right, where is my brother's room?”

”Alright, I'll get the person in charge to arrange a place for you to stay. Brother Feiyuan's room is right next door. He said that he didn't let the door be locked because it was convenient for him to come back. Do you want to take a look?”

Lu JinNian smiled innocently, ”We'll see.”

Lu Qingming, ”…” He kept having the feeling that this girl was up to something bad.

For the time being, they bade farewell to Lu Qingming and strolled around the academy. Everyone who saw him welcomed him with a smile on their faces, but Lu Jinsheng did nothing superfluous. His movements lacked the usual enthusiasm from flying and lacked the gentleness from a lady.

It was not that weak attitude that made people want to protect him when they saw him, but rather that of a sweet little sister who made people feel as if she was next door to him for no reason at all.

It was as if Lu Jinniang had retracted his fox tail and pretended to be a domesticated kitten. Although his temper didn't seem bad and he wouldn't find it out of place, he felt that what she displayed now didn't suit her after seeing Lu Jinniang raise his fox tail and act like a clever little fox.

This was not the real Lu Jinniang, but Ye Xiong had to say that if they didn't know who Lu Jinniang was, it was exactly what most people liked to see.

After circling around for half a circle, he saw that there was finally no one around him. Lu JinNian crawled into a pavilion to the side, put away the oil-paper umbrella, and lay down on the table without a care in the world. ”Wow, I'm so tired …”

A smile that even he didn't notice flashed across Ye Xiong's face, ”Aren't you afraid that someone would suddenly come over here? Your good image from before is about to fail.”

Lu JinNian propped up his chin while grinning, ”No, no. I just asked around and found out that this is the academy's meal time. Unless they eat and lose weight, no one will appear at this time.”

”Your act is pretty good.”

”What do you mean? I'm not trying to tell you that I'm not only capable of learning martial arts, I'm also very cute.”

”…”

The rain outside the pavilion was drizzling as the momentum gradually lessened. It was expected that it would clear up tomorrow.

Sui Xiong didn't sit down like Lu Jinsheng. Instead, he stood in the pavilion and looked at the distant mountain, which had been blurred by the rain. The mountain's color was dyed by the color of the night sky, which was so thick that it couldn't melt.

A cold mountain breeze blew over from the top of the mountain. Her snow-white hair fluttered in the night sky, and some emotions surged within her eyes. After a while, she said, ”Lu JinNian, I want to go to a place.”

Lu JinNian looked at him and nodded, ”Master, it's too cold here, I'll go back and rest.”

After he finished speaking, he opened the oil-paper umbrella and walked out of the pavilion.

After they left the pavilion, Lu JinNian turned around, but the person in the pavilion had already disappeared.

He rubbed his arm to keep himself warm.
