"I was just asking casually, if you don't want to say, that's fine," Dongfang Mian said, both embarrassed and angry.
“It’s not that I didn’t want to talk about it, it’s just that there’s nothing to say. I went to the mission location and saw that woman. I just threw her off the cliff and then came back after I finished my mission,” Yan Lin finally said.
Ah... this...
"You threw her off a cliff the moment you met her? Aren't you afraid she'll die?" Dongfang Mian asked speechlessly.
"Have you ever heard of a Spirit King being killed by a fall?" Yan Lin raised an eyebrow and asked in return.
Dongfang Mian finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Well, this is bad. We've offended both the Tianwu and Luoqing dynasties. Things won't be easy for us from now on."
"You seem to be gloating, as if you want the world to be in chaos," Yan Lin said.
"I didn't, but before we leave, we need to give some people and forces a good warning, otherwise I'm afraid my uncle and grandfather..." Dongfang Mian muttered to herself.
Yan Lin stood up and pulled her into his arms, saying softly, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
"Mmm," Dongfang Mian nestled obediently against Yan Lin's chest like a kitten.
"Sigh~ I'm just a little kitten that nobody cares about, meow~", Aju looked hurt and muttered to herself as she walked back to her room alone, leaving Dongfang Mian and Yan Lin with a lonely back view.
The two were immediately amused and smiled at each other, as countless petals fell, capturing this mesmerizing scene.
Later, the retaliation that Dongfang Mian had anticipated from the Tianwu Dynasty and the Luoqing Dynasty did not come, because the once-in-a-decade secret realm trial of the Vermilion Bird Academy was about to begin, and all students with the strength of Spirit King or above could participate in the secret realm trial.
The secret realm trial of Suzaku Academy is said to be passed down from ancient times, and it contains many opportunities and treasures. Dongfang Mian and Yan Lin have also made a lot of preparations for this secret realm trial.
Dongfang Mian first disguised herself and infiltrated each professional guild to learn and obtain a beginner badge. According to Aju, the upper realm does not recognize the level badges of the lower realm, and you will have to retake the test when you return. Therefore, Dongfang Mian did not ask for much and only obtained the beginner badge. Her main purpose was to study the books in the guild, so that she might have different solutions if she encountered any situation in the secret realm.
Yan Lin, on the other hand, went to the Mission Hall and completed many high-reward missions. In just one month, he accumulated enough points to exchange for the Space Flower.
According to Yan Lin, it's safer to keep such things in your own hands as soon as possible. It would be frustrating if some idiot swapped them out and broke them. Besides, the Space Flower can sense Time Grass and Sand of Time, so you won't miss it if there are any in the secret realm.
Dongfang Mian didn't know how he managed to complete so many tasks in such a short time. She felt that the total number of tasks in the entire Task Hall was not even enough to reach two million points. Moreover, Dongfang Mian also discovered that Yan Lin had secretly redeemed the Child-Falling Grass as well.
Dongfang Mian once suspected that Yan Lin had stolen the two spiritual flowers and herbs directly from the Exchange Hall. She cautiously interrogated Yan Lin and Aju separately, but the two kept their mouths shut. Dongfang Mian couldn't help but reflect that she shouldn't have suspected them.
Until one day, when the academy's alarm sounded, it was reported that an inner courtyard treasure had been lost, and a large number of inner courtyard elders were dispatched to investigate. Only then did Dongfang Mian turn her suspicious gaze back to this person and cat.
But in the end, the matter was left unresolved with a light kiss from Yan Lin.
