Lin Xi was roused awake in the middle of the night. He heard Mu Qing’s voice outside his door, knowing that the impatient Yunqin Emperor already decided on the rules, that it was time to set out.

After putting on his clothes without the slightest bit of flusteredness, after rendezvousing with Bian Linghan on the second floor, the two of them followed Lecturer Mu Qing out of the freshman dormitory, entering the thick darkness.

That is why outside, you cannot say these words.” Mu Qing gave Lin Xi this warning, and then because she was already familiar with Lin Xi’s nature, she wasn’t scared of her words making Lin Xi too overbearing, so she didn’t really hide anything either….
