Chapter 121: The Deserted Village in the Bamboo Scrolls
Seeing that it was Li Xuan at the scene of the crime, Lu Yibei wanted nothing more than to turn around and disappear.
“I didn’t expect you to be here,” Li Xuan smiled, landing a firm grip on his shoulders.
“Y-yes,” he replied in a soft voice. “Jiangli told me to pay attention to abnormal events happening around me during our first lesson, so I thought to come to investigate.”
He prayed that Li Xuan wouldn’t discover his true intentions.
He should have thought about it long ago. ‘Of course, the Night Division would send someone over to investigate.’
Even then, Li Xuan’s smile was uncanny; he always felt that something was wrong with him. His smile was a little too wide, and his teeth were a little too shiny.
‘Damn it, if he catches me, how do I tell Jumeng?’ he cursed. ‘It’s all her fault that I’m caught up in this mess!’
“Wow,” Li Xuan praised. “You’re dedicated to your work.”
Li Xuan’s eyes thinned out as he spoke like a fox preparing to devour his prey.
