Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Nalan Ye Jue gazed at her.

He said slowly, “I have quite a few things to handle, so I might be a bit late. You take the three of them, and leave directly at nine. I’ll be a few minutes behind. Don’t worry, the Time Gate won’t just open for a moment.”

Qin Xin felt somewhat reassured.

Yet she couldn’t help but emphasize, “Don’t be too late. I’m afraid of any unexpected events.”

Nalan Ye Jue reached out and tucked a stray lock of her hair behind her ear. “I won’t. Don’t worry.”

Qin Xin thought for a moment, then suddenly asked him, “Master Tuantuan, this identity of the White Robe Great Tutor, have you always had it? Did you once live here?”

She then specifically stressed, “No lying to me.”

Nalan Ye Jue’s lips twitched, “No. I never lived here.”

Qin Xin’s brow twitched slightly, “Then your identity…”

Nalan Ye Jue didn’t intend to hide it from her and spoke the truth, “I borrowed the identity of a White Robe Great Tutor. When I came here, he was dying at the seaside after failing a challenge. On his deathbed, he asked me to pass a message to his parents. I did it for him and then used his identity… to accomplish some things.”

Qin Xin understood a little more.

No wonder, he needed to keep wearing the soft bamboo mask.

But that embrace just now felt too familiar, too familiar.

She still wanted to ask more, but the man had already released her from the embrace and started walking out, “Hurry up, let’s go.”

In an instant, the tender atmosphere vanished without a trace.

The image of Young Master Hai’s tragic death surfaced in Qin Xin’s mind.

Leaving is the most important thing now.

No time to think about anything else.

She turned back to drag out a few large boxes filled with Spiritual Pearls from under the dorm room bed, transporting them downstairs before the dorm leader and others returned.

She took one last look at the girls’ dormitory building, where the lights were gradually going out.

Qin Xin silently said in her heart — “Goodbye, take care.”

Even Little Dongju felt somewhat reluctant, “Wuwu, the girls are really cute, it’s hard to part with them. I wonder if, after we leave, they’ll continue to cultivate well and become strong, to protect themselves…”

Little Jiang Snake was rather optimistic, “Of course. The master is their role model. Their future won’t be bad, no need to worry at all.”

Little Dongju glanced at this guy, couldn’t help but mutter, “Yes, no need to worry about them. But as for you, you better worry about yourself. We’re parting ways here, never to meet again!”

“By the way, I left some of your favorite petals in the fridge, enough for you for half a year, so eat sparingly. No need to thank me.”

Though this guy always fights for attention with me, together we’ve guarded the master, and somehow, we’ve forged fighting camaraderie. This flower is kind-hearted and gave it a farewell gift too.

Just as Little Dongju was waiting for Little Jiang Snake to cry tears of gratitude and embrace him for a goodbye hug.

Little Jiang Snake blinked its innocent big eyes, “Who said I’m leaving you?”

Little Dongju was stunned, “I’m about to leave with the master, you’re the snake here, of course, we’re parting ways.”

Little Jiang Snake, leisurely lying on Qin Xin’s shoulder, showed no intention of staying, “Wherever the master is, that’s where I’ll be.”

Little Dongju finally realized, “What the heck, are you going to cling to death and follow us?”

Little Jiang Snake snorted, “Watch your words. It’s not clinging to death; it’s called being faithful and following to the ends of the earth without abandoning.”

Little Dongju: “…”
