There, a black-haired figure clad in an entirely red suit stood leaning against the door, with one hand supporting his head.

He was Fu Xie Lan's roommate.

​​

"Who are you?" asked Wan Lie immediately.

"I am?"

"Why not just ask Xie Lan?" said the man.

Immediately everyone turned their heads towards Fu Xie Lan. Meanwhile, Gu Yi's expression had been very bad ever since the man's appearance.

"He's my roommate," said Fu Xie Lan immediately answering everyone's confusion.

"But... I thought Xie Lan's roommate was..."

"Who?" said the man cut off Xue Ning's words with a smile that never faded from his lips.

Xue Ning and Ju Xian immediately turned to Gu Yi, seeing that his expression and gaze were so intimidating that the hairs on their necks stood on end.

"Hey.. don't be so angry."

"I'm back doesn't mean I want to stay with her here, hahaha," said the man again, his eyes scanning Fu Xie Lan and Gu Yi. His smile seemed to tremble slightly as his gaze met Gu Yi's.

"Looks like my arrival is disturbing, doesn't it?"

"I just want to make sure that this room is still there, hahaha."

"You know what? I come back here often, but I can't find the door, so I often go into the next room. hahaha."

"Ah yes, this is for you Xie Lan," said the man as he threw a small scroll and was immediately caught by Ju Xian who happened to be standing closest to him.

"Okay, I'm going. Don't look for me, okay?" The man said without pause and then quickly left without waiting for the people in the room to reply or respond.

"Wait!" said Fu Xie Lan.

However, the man only glanced at the girl briefly. He blinked one eye while moving his mouth silently.

'Take care of yourself, Queen.'

And then disappeared right there, leaving a trail of stars in the hallway in front of the door.

Wan Lie immediately approached the place where the man disappeared, looked around the hallway on the second floor but did not find the figure he was looking for.

All of them who saw it had the same thought.

THE MAN IS NOT A HUMAN

As for Fu Xie Lan, she was rooted to the spot ever since the man turned his head towards her. She was not so stupid as to be able to read the movements of the man's mouth.

Queen?

Who is the queen?

Since the first day of enlistment, when she conversed with the man, no, rather only the man who continued to talk to her. She had already guessed that maybe the man wasn't human. But that's just an unfounded assumption because there is no evidence to support the assumption.

"Wizard?"

"No, no. She's not a wizard," Xue Ning monologued.

"Fairy?"

"Not really, Vampire? Mermaid? Ah impossible."

"Demon? Ah, that's even more impossible" Xue Ning monologued again without noticing that all eyes were on her.

"What are you trying to say?" Wan Lie asked after closing the door tightly and returning to his original position.

"I'm just guessing what race that guy is from," Xue Ning replied immediately. The girl had already forgotten a little about Wan Lie's treatment of her.

Xue Ning thought that maybe Wan Lie was just confused.

"What's the point of knowing which race he's from?" Wan Lie sarcastically then snatched the scroll in Ju Xian's hand.

Walk towards a chair and then sit there.

As for Gu Yi, one of the man's eyebrows rose when he see Wan Lie. He should have done that.

"What's in it?" Fu Xie Lan asked Wan Lie.

immediately the young man unrolled it. His brow furrowed at the contents of the scroll.

"Empty?"

Hearing this, Fu Xie Lan immediately got up from her position and rushed towards the young man. But she hadn't even taken two steps and the girl stumbled on her own feet. Lucky Gu Yi immediately grabbed her tiny body.

"Be careful, honey," Gu Yi said with his arms wrapped around Fu Xie Lan who was sitting on his lap.

Suddenly a blush filled the girl's face behind the mask.

"Put me down."

"No, what if you fall again?" Gu Yi lifted the girl's body and put her back on the bed.

"The scroll, bring it here," Gu Yi said after placing Fu Xie Lan's body carefully.

Hearing this, Wan Lie immediately got up and handed the scroll in his hand to his father.

"I told you, it's empty," said Wan Lie when he saw Gu Yi re-opening the scroll.

"Is that guy trying to play with us?" Wan Lie said with his jaw tightened.

As for Ju Xian and Xue Ning, both of them froze watching the three people in front of them. Somehow they felt as if they were strangers in front of the three people.

Even so, neither Ju Xian nor Xie Ning left the room. They just stood still.

Fu Xie Lan who heard Wan Lie's words frowned.

"Gu Yi, maybe like that time," said Fu Xie Lan.

Immediately the man looked for suitable lighting in the room. Luckily on the table, there was a candle that was still burning brightly.

Wan Lie who saw this was as confused as Ju Xian and Xue Ning. What did the man do? want to burn the scroll?

But what they think, is wrong.

Gu Yi looked at the scroll.

"What's in it?" asked Fu Xie Lan without moving from her position.

"Get ready."

Hearing that, Wan Lie, Ju Xian, and Xue Ning immediately took a wary stance.

while Fu Xie Lan frowned faintly.

"Will something happen again?" Fu Xie Lan muttered but the others could still hear it.

Immediately the girl rose from her position, replaced the cloth covering her face with the silver mask she usually wore without showing her entire face.

One of Gu Yi's eyebrows raised at the attitude of the four people in front of him.

"What are you doing?" asked the man so casually.

"Especially you. Where are you going? Hmm?" said Gu Yi approached Fu Xie Lan and lifted the girl's petite body, laying her back on the bed.

"What are you doing?" Fu Xie Lan protested. While Wan Lie and the other two had the same question.

"Shouldn't I be the one asking that?" Gu Yi replied.

"You just told us to prepare," said Fu Xie Lan.

"And it was you who asked me the contents of this scroll, right?"

"I'm just answering your question, honey," Gu Yi said casually.

Seeing no response from the girl, he then created light in his palm then stared at the scroll, in a position that was visible to all.

GET READY

immediately everyone loosened their guard. Relax again.

Fu Xie Lan was rooted to the spot, trying to digest the contents of the scroll.

As for Wan Lie, a harsh gasp escaped his lips. He wanted to beat the guy up for making everyone in the room misunderstood. Yes, if only Gu Yi wasn't his father.
