Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Being seen through by Qin Xin, his forced and embarrassed look, the Second Elder’s face flashed with awkwardness: “I’m not that useless… I just… gave away the Time Key unique to a Time Mage, otherwise it wouldn’t be this hard to leave here.”

He recalled the unparalleled Miss Nalan of that time, making him willingly, at the cost of giving up a lifetime of love, send her away.

Regret it?

Of course not.

If given a chance to do it again, he would choose the same.

So he also understood, at this moment, Nalan Ye Jue’s mood to send Qin Xin away was the same as his was back then.

Moreover, he didn’t want his nephew Jing Zhichen to fall into an affection without a future.

So, regardless of the reason, he would do everything he could to send Qin Xin away.

He continued to persuade: “Miss Lan, I’ll send you away first, I promise to try my best to help him leave a bit later…”

Qin Xin was unmoved, not moving towards the Time Gate at all: “If that’s the case. Then I’ll go a bit later together with him.”

The Second Elder choked.

He’s really not good at persuading people.

Why every time he finds a reason, it’s promptly defeated by this eloquent girl?

If persuasion doesn’t work, then… brute force is the only option.

“Apologies, Miss Lan.” The Second Elder reached out, a blue light flashed, aiming to immobilize her.

Unexpectedly, quicker by a second, a green light charged forward, directly enveloping his entire body!

“…” The Second Elder remained motionless, frozen in place, with silent astonishment in his eyes.

What is going on?

Why does his time ability once again have no effect on Lan Qingxin?

Instead, it rebounds back onto himself?

Yet Qin Xin was already striding away in the opposite direction.

Lazy Worm on her shoulder turned back, slowly making a face at the Second Elder: Sorry, but this bug is specifically meant to counter and help the master reflect your time ability.

Qin Xin hurried towards the Divine Academy’s sports ground as the Time Gate slowly closed behind her.

Her steps were determined, without any hesitation.

In her mind, the scene of her farewell with Master Tuantuan in front of the dormitory door surfaced.

She remembered the hug the man returned to give her right before he left.

So familiar, so profound.

She especially recalled, after he released the embrace, he approached the night again and, for the second time, returned with earnest words reminding her: “Remember, over there, your man awaits you.”

At that moment.

She finally realized something was amiss.

Why was that embrace so familiar, why did he come to this world?

Master Tuantuan wouldn’t push her to another man.

Just like Mr. Nalan wouldn’t push her to another man either.

So, there is only one answer—he came for her, he also wanted her to go back for him!

The person who came for her could only be… her Mr. Nalan.

Damn master, damn man, tricked her to leave quickly but failed to show up on time, leaving alone to handle dangerous things!

Thinking she didn’t know why he stayed behind?

Qin Xin walked briskly, as if racing against time.

In the jungle.

Standing behind the massive trunk of the purple spruce tree for a long time, Jing Zhichen stepped out, staring at Qin Xin’s departing figure.

He couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night.

Driven by intuition, he came here and witnessed her scene of wanting to take Ao Xinghao and the others away.

He controlled himself, resisting the urge to stop her, silently watching her leave.
