She bit her lip, a nameless fire flaring up inside, and slammed the door as she entered her own room.
Ryan Lu really was here for tutoring.
He studied quite seriously, too.
Lucy Luan couldn’t bring herself to slack off, so she forced herself to focus and patiently answered his questions.
The next day, Snow Yuan came again.
On the third day, she still showed up.
And every time, she left together with Sean Shaw.
That day, she happily walked out with Sean again.
As soon as they stepped out, Lucy Luan slammed the door behind them with a thunderous bang.
Sean Shaw glanced back at the shaking door, looking a bit puzzled.
Was she actually mad?
"Sean, let's go!" Snow Yuan called out sweetly.
Sean Shaw glanced at her and said, "We're not going the same way."
Then he vanished.
Snow Yuan stomped her foot and left.
Once she was gone, Sean Shaw reappeared and knocked on the door.
Lucy Luan came to open the door, saw it was him again, and asked, "What do you want now?"
"Uh, it's about Snow—"
"If it's about Divine Lady Snow, go tell her! Why bother me?" She slammed the door again with a bang.
Snow!
She sure called him sweetly!
Sean Shaw's eyes widened: "..."
He actually wanted to ask if Snow Yuan could stop coming by. She was honestly driving him nuts.
......
The next day, Lucy Luan didn't crack a smile all day.
Sean Shaw snuck glances at her at least a dozen times, but she just kept reading seriously.
Later, when he looked over again, he noticed Henry Xiao sitting next to her, talking.
Their voices were so low he couldn't hear a word, but Lucy Luan eventually nodded.
Sean Shaw started feeling restless. After class, he intercepted Lucy Luan on the road: "Divine Lady Lucia!"
Lucy Luan glanced at him coolly and asked, "What is it?"
Is it still about his Divine Lady Snow business?
"What did Henry Xiao just say to you?" Sean Shaw asked.
"He told me—" Lucy Luan emphasized, her eyes almost provocative, "Tomorrow's the rest day, and the Celestial Empress invited me to the Celestial Palace! She said she wants to give me something!"
Sean Shaw's fist clenched. "Did you agree?" he asked.
"Of course I did! Anything from the Celestial Empress can't be ordinary, right? Of course I'm going!"
Sean Shaw said nothing.
Lucy Luan glanced at him. "Anything else?"
Sean Shaw: "No..."
Lucy Luan turned and walked away.
Sean Shaw watched her back for a long moment, then headed toward the Celestial Emperor.
......
Emperor Ray Quinn invented all sorts of incredible talismans in his lifetime.
For example, the Supreme Clarity Talisman was modeled after the Mirror of Truth.
He even used the Phoenix Feather Hairpin as inspiration to invent a multi-user communication talisman.
His Majesty the Celestial Emperor was currently holding a group call with Soren Lann and Harvey Quinn of Cangwu.
Soren Lann: "Everything's normal on our end."
Harvey Quinn: "I checked personally with Noctis. In all the lands under our Southern Realm's jurisdiction, nothing suspicious at all."
His Majesty the Celestial Emperor, looking unusually serious, said, "If nothing's wrong, then the 'Demon Emperor' predicted to appear in the divination might be Baxa."
Soren Lann: "Your Majesty, do you have any leads on him?"
His Majesty the Celestial Emperor: "Just a few vague clues."
