Bab 185: Chapter 129: Clues (8k)

"Hmm, I'm back."

Lin Yun tried to smile affably as he lifted the corners of his mouth, feigning as if it was his first time seeing Bai Jingxuan and asked, "I've already met the student on the left, and who might this be on the right? Your friend too?"

He paid no attention to Xia Liang's subtle movements, for he wasn't interested in deciphering whatever trouble the vexing girl was stirring up again—more precisely, he could already guess what Xia Liang was secretly signalling.

Bai Jingxuan and Lin Xiaolu stood by watching; he still needed to maintain the secrecy of his identity in front of these two, So presenting himself as a proper elder was certainly the safest bet.

As for Bai Jingxuan's identity as a Magical Girl, he didn't plan on exposing it, even though from the standpoint of "Lin Yun" he had every reason to speculate on this, but continuing to play dumb was also reasonable.

"...Stop beating around the bush."
