Do you remember that young man named Wang Yuhuan? He used to be your student, confiding in you during the low points in his life.
You could tell he admired you, right? You used him, summoned him to Qi Yuan, and arranged for him to stay at Sesame Apartment to gather intelligence and provide cover for you.
You're not entirely unaware. Jiaobide secretly asked you to gather information on Sesame Apartment, forbidding you from asking why.
And you actually didn't ask, not only helped willingly but also dragged a trusting Wang Yuhuan into it. Even if you didn't know the truth, didn't you find Jiaobide's motives suspicious?
You must have suspected it, but for personal feelings or some private purpose, you still went ahead!
As for that young man, he was truly innocent. The Magic Sect traced the issue to him, but fortunately, they learned the inside story and didn't do anything to him. After the Xiao Alliance's conspiracy was exposed, no one bothered him anymore. He had a fallout with his family and was too ashamed to return home, nearly ending up on the streets.
On your advice, he originally planned to continue with postgraduate studies or civil service exams. But now, every day, he's frying sauces at the noodle shop by the community gate⦠someone kind took him in. Do you still remember him?"
Luo Mingzhi was stunned for two seconds before reacting to who Wang Yuhuan was. At that moment, the light in the room suddenly dimmed, and when she came to, the dorm window was opened, and the stranger in front of her had disappeared.
...
He Kao finished speaking and left with Lan Jiwan. While he was talking, Lan Jiwan was hiding in the corner of the room with the Celestial Net Umbrella, unnoticed by Luo Mingzhi.
The two of them found a place to sit on campus. Lan Jiwan finally put away the Celestial Net Umbrella, revealing her figure. It was already 4:30 in the morning, and it would be dawn soon.
During artifact-based magical combat, one usually needs to exert full effort. The duration is typically very short, but for someone like Lan Jiwan, who used the Celestial Net Umbrella merely to conceal herself, the energy consumption was much lower.
Nevertheless, after maintaining the artifact for such a long time, Lan Jiwan's divine Qi was also running low.
He Kao nodded, saying, "The fact that you lasted this long indicates your cultivation is quite good. You've evidently been diligent."
Lan Jiwan didn't continue this topic but asked, "You've put quite a lot of thought into Teacher Luo. She is indeed quite beautiful. Even looking so worn now, she's still quite touching, isn't she?
Sect Leader Senior Brother, do you prefer older, more mature beauties?"
This question had been bottled up inside her for a long time, but she hadn't had the chance to speak up until now, asking eagerly.
He Kao was lucky he wasn't drinking water; otherwise, she'd surely have choked him. Annoyed, he replied, "Touching? Don't misuse phrases! I have no other intentions and certainly won't fancy someone like her."
Lan Jiwan's tone was still somewhat doubtful: "Since you don't fancy her, why so concerned about her affairs? Even trying to reveal the truth, Sect Leader Senior Brother, what you said earlier was a bit much."
He Kao asserted, "Today's show wasn't primarily for her; it was for you!"
This statement rendered Lan Jiwan speechless, and she lowered her head, biting her lip without further questioning. She sat there secretly tiptoeing, a moment passing before she quietly said, "Thank you, Sect Leader Senior Brother. Now I understand."
He Kao: "As long as it's helpful to you."
Lan Jiwan asked again, "Will what we're doing help her?"
He Kao: "We're just doing what we should do. The rest is up to her."
At that moment, Lan Jiwan suddenly looked up and said, "She's reported it to the police again!"
He Kao: "Reporting to the police is not surprising. She did it the last time as well, which is normal for ordinary people confronted with such things."
