When Lan Xinyu retracted her gaze, she saw that the man who had asked her for directions was still standing by her side and he was looking at her oddly at that. Wasn’t his gaze a little too scorching? How odd. It wasn’t as if she knew him that well.
“What’s wrong? You still don’t know the way to the academy?” asked Lan Xinyu hesitantly.
“That, that, I don’t, don’t, don’t, know,” stuttered Baili Han in reply as he turned red.
“Ah, you know what? Since I don’t have anything going on, I’ll just guide you over there. It’s not that far from here,” said Lan Xinyu after she thought about it for a moment. When she finished saying this, she suddenly thought of something else again, so she continued, “Are you also a student from Wind Cloud Academy?”
“Ah, yes, yes. I am,” answered Baili Han, nodding vigorously as his face got even redder.
“Then, why don’t you know the way there? Are you just coming to enroll? Wait, that wouldn’t be right since school has already started,” pondered Lan Xinyu aloud, she was very confused.
“I, I, as an exchange student, I went to another academy, to study. So, I, I, can’t really recognize the roads here well,” replied Baili Han as he exhaled with great effort and finally managed to not stutter so much.
“So, that’s why. Let’s go, I’ll lead you over there. I never thought that you were so directionally challenged,” said Lan Xinyu, finding it a little funny. She casually added, “My friend is also a student at Wind Cloud Academy.”
“And, you?” asked Baili Han.
“I’m not. I am a student from White Stone Academy. I’m only here to participate in the great fighting ring competition. Come on, then, keep up,” said Lan Xinyu with a smile.
“White Stone Academy?” repeated Baili Han, slightly stunned. He seemed to have thought of something and asked, “Your friend, could it be Ling Chuxi?”
“Yes. That’s her. How did you know?” responded Lan Xinyu, finding this somewhat odd.
“I was with her just now. We parted ways right there. Eh? Where did she go?” Baili Han had started speaking more and more fluently. He turned to look at the place where he and Ling Chuxi had parted ways, but how could even Ling Chuxi’s shadow be there anymore?
So, where was that fellow, Ling Chuxi, at the moment? Why, she was perversely hiding by the side of the road, peeking out at the interactions of two people who had just met! She could tell that Baili Han was totally stunned looking at Lan Xinyu just now when she took action to save the little boy. After that, his face turned so red and he even started to stammer. Ling Chuxi chuckled to herself. It looks like the directionally challenged expert had fallen for Lan Xinyu. Just now, when Lan Xinyu was hugging the child and smiling so gently, Baili Han was staring at her, totally unable to avert his gaze. Ling Chuxi was burning with a desire to gossip at the moment, so she perversely hid and peeked at the interactions between Baili Han and Lan Xinyu.
“Eh, could it be that she has already returned? That’s right, how did the two of you meet?” asked Lan Xinyu. She was curious the moment she heard Baili Han mention Ling Chuxi. Ling Chuxi had left a letter and ran off to who knows where. Lan Xinyu guessed that she should have went out alone to train and raise her cultivation level. However, she had returned so quickly. Could it be that she had already made some gains so soon? Thinking about this, Lan Xinyu felt very speechless. Ling Chuxi was practically an oddball. No matter how she chased after her, she could not catch up to her pace.
“We met at the Silver Ancient Mountain Range. I lost my way. She brought me back,” replied Baili Han honestly.
“Did her cultivation increase again?” pondered Lan Xinyu aloud as they walked.
“She experienced Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body at the Silver Ancient Mountain Range…” replied Baili Han as he kept pace with Lan Xinyu.
“What?! That jerk! Is she still human?! Does she still want others to live?!” shouted Lan Xinyu and almost fainted. She did think that Ling Chuxi might have raised her cultivation, but she never thought that she would actually experience the legendary Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body this fast! Was there a mistake? She actually achieved a breakthrough to the Great Fulfilment within such a short period of time?! Did she still want others to live? This was no longer a matter as simple as being a genius found in a hundred. This was practically an outstanding talent not found even in ten thousand!
