”Don't worry about me, and don't provoke Herr Casa, we'll just pretend we don't know one another,” Yan Qiu said.
”Alright.”
”I'll be going. Herr Casa will be suspicious if I'm away for too long,” Yan Qiu told him.
Mu Bai watched Yan Qiu leave. Her figure slowly faded into the snow.
Mu Bai was a little disappointed after they had to separate again after their brief reunion. However, he could tell that Yan Qiu had indeed gotten used to her current life. He was pleased after learning that she was fine. It was indeed inappropriate to disrupt her life. After all, it had been so many years since they had last met...

Yan Qiu left the hot spring, and slowly headed back to the wooden mansion. She shook the snow on her clothes off before opening the door, taking a few extra glances behind her.
The door opened with a little squeak. When she went into the room, a tall figure was standing in front of her. He looked unusually eerie under the dim light inside the room.
His golden-brown eyes stared at Yan Qiu. Herr Casa grinned mischievously, ”Did you go and meet him?”
Yan Qiu did not stop. She went up to Herr Casa and sat on his mink chair. The clear look in her eyes suddenly became a little menacing and complicated.
”Get me some water,” Yan Qiu said coldly.
Herr Casa went to the furnace and came back with a mug of hot water.
”I want it cold,” Yan Qiu noticed the steam rising from the mug and gave Herr Casa an impatient look.
”Who was the guy you went to see? How did he know you?” Herr Casa poured another glass of cold water and placed it in front of her.
”It's tricky,” Yan Qiu rubbed her brows.
”What is it? It's rare to see you like this,” Herr Casa said.
Yan Qiu stared at the fire in the furnace, not speaking for a long time. Herr Casa stood beside her quietly, not daring to disturb her thoughts.

Mo Fan and the others did not stay at the Holy Judgment Court for too long.
The place was too cold; it felt like they were living in a different world. It was even more secluded than the Alps Institute. Since Mo Fan had no other business here, it was meaningless for them to stay any longer.
Mo Fan was initially planning to go back to his country right away. He could not just cast aside his responsibility to look for the Totem Beasts after giving Chairman Shao Zheng his promise. His country needed him, but someone totally unexpected had shown up. Well, she was not really a person...
”You came just in time, can you help me look into something?” Mo Fan withheld the speechlessness in his heart as he spoke to the flirtatious Li Yu'e.
