Bai Ye's lessons turned out to be too addicting. The thrill of seeing him aside, the material was also so captivating and useful that I couldn't help but suspect he had tailored it just for me. I ended up being one of the first to show up every morning, and when I found out that it wasn't unusual for disciples to attend their own master's lessons, I started lingering around for multiple sessions a day.
Hearing everyone's pining comments and sighs about him soon became a new routine for me, but apart from that, nothing out of the ordinary happened. Not until the fourth day when a voice called from behind me on my way back to my room after the lesson: "Senior, you're staying on this level as well?"
I turned around. It was the girl that asked Bai Ye to help her with the talisman drawing last time. I nodded, "Everyone from Mount Hua is on this level." I was pretty sure she knew that already.
The last two chapters are in memory of my long-gone high school days :) I went to a school with very strict rules against teen dating, so my life back then was just like Qing-er’s: whenever I wanted to talk with a guy in private, we had to plan some kind of excuse like borrowing books, asking homework questions, and if we were to walk together after class, we had to make sure to leave the classroom at different times so we wouldn’t be spotted XD Not sure if any of you grew up in a similar environment... It was harsh but kinda fun in its own way lol.
