After the two of them communicated with each other, Xie Qi discovered that the three of them came back very late every day. He found out that it was because the annual Demon Spirit Sacrifice of Saint Kaya Academy was about to begin.

But in his opinion, this sacrifice is nothing more than the principal holding a meeting and making empty promises to the students.

The difference is that the presiding officer of this ceremony is the King of Saint Kaya City. On that day, the King will personally visit Saint Kaya Academy and perform the blessing under the witness of the Magic Stone.

This magic stone, imbued with boundless magical power, had been preserved within Saint Kaya Academy for generations, and could only be retrieved during magic sacrifices. This year, the responsibility of safeguarding the magic stone fell on Szellot's shoulders.

At this moment, Xie Qi was the only one in the dormitory. The three of Szelote had something to do today, so they probably wouldn't come back to sleep tonight.

Xie Qi was lying on the bed bored after taking a shower. He yawned and said slowly, "Isn't it just a sacrifice? Is it necessary to do it so late?"

However, just as Xie Qi was about to go to sleep, 948 suddenly said, "Host, you've been idle for so long. When are you going to take action?"

"Uh… is it urgent?"

"What do you think! I saw you were just with the male lead, so I didn't remind you, but don't forget your mission even when you're in a relationship!"

After hearing 948's complaint, Xie Qi slowly sat up and said helplessly, "I'll take action now, okay?"

So Xie Qi, who was originally planning to go to bed, opened his wardrobe and found a piece of clothing that he had prepared long ago.

At this moment, Xie Qi, dressed in a pitch-black robe, stood silently on the balcony like a ghost in the night. He blended into the surrounding darkness, as if he had disappeared into every corner of the world.

Then, a mysterious magic circle appeared under his feet. With a subtle energy fluctuation, Xie Qi's figure instantly disappeared from his original position. When he reappeared, he had already arrived at the palace.

In the darkness of the night, a dark shadow shuttled between the high walls of the palace like a meteor.

His figure was looming in the night, and his eyes under the mask were like obsidian, radiating calmness and depth.

His jawline was clearly defined, softly outlined by the moonlight, exuding an authority that could not be ignored.

He walked in the heavily guarded palace with light steps and as agile as a leopard. He advanced without fear even in the heavily guarded palace.

He is like a night walker, revealing a unique charm that cannot be ignored in his silence.

"Shut up! What the hell are you reading?!"

Xie Qi hid in the dark and shouted at 948 in intolerance.

"Ahahaha, isn't this a compliment to you, to create a tense atmosphere for you?" 948 replied with a grin.

“…”

Xie Qi was speechless and ignored 948's mischief. He carefully avoided the patrolling guards and prepared to go to Xie Teming's study first.

Before this, Xie Qi had learned from Teacher Lulina that books on sealing magic might be stored in the palace.

Therefore, he had already made preparations for a night raid on the palace. However, he had not anticipated that the palace's security was far more stringent than he had imagined. As Xie Qi was walking in the corridor, he was discovered.

"Stop. Who are you?" A cold voice sounded behind Xie Qi.

A sharp sword silently stretched out from behind Xie Qi and was placed on his neck.

However, the moment he heard this voice, Xie Qi was completely stunned. "Why... is Szelote here?" he thought to himself.

But after just a few seconds, Xie Qi quickly recovered. He immediately cast a spell, and a gust of wind blew in. Before Szelote could react, he immediately escaped from the scene.

"Damn it, 948, I really shouldn't have listened to you! Wouldn't it be nice to just sleep at home? I wouldn't have come here if I had known..."

However, just as Xie Qi and 948 were complaining, two more people appeared in front of him and blocked his way. These two people were none other than Xie Nok and Finny.

"You're quite courageous, breaking into the palace at night? Today, I'll let you know that the palace is not a place you can just walk into casually."

After saying this, Shenok attacked Xie Qi. However, facing their attacks, Xie Qi did not fight back, but simply dodged. After all, his magic discrimination was too high, and he did not want to hurt any of them.

However, whenever Xie Qi wanted to cast teleportation magic to escape the scene, Finny would always take action immediately and interrupt his magic circle, making it completely impossible for Xie Qi to escape from the palace with the help of magic.

Finally, Xie Qi finally couldn't withstand Xie Nuoke's attack, his body was knocked several meters away, and hit a sculpture behind him heavily.

With the impact, the black robe hat on Xie Qi's head slid down from his head.

At this moment, with the faint light of the moon, the three of them could clearly see the man's face. For a moment, the three of them froze in their movements, and no one took the next step.

At this moment, Xie Qi still had a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. He slowly raised his head, glanced at Szelote who was looking astonished, then looked at the soldiers behind the three of them and Xie Teming who was walking towards them.

The next second, Xie Qi cast the teleportation spell again without hesitation and disappeared instantly. This time, no one interrupted Xie Qi's magic and let him leave.

At this moment, Xie Nok looked at Szelote with some concern, then turned his head to look at his father who was about to arrive, and asked in a low voice: "Why is it him? Xie..."

However, before Shenok could finish his words, Szelote immediately grabbed his arm, his eyes anxious, and pleaded in a low voice: "Your Highness, let him go this time, and I will give you an explanation..."
