Elder Xuanhai sneered coldly at his back. He didn't look at Ye Xiyue until he was sure that he was gone. He looked her up and down and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that she was fine.
"Girl, you're finally back! Where did you go last night?"
Ye Xiyue's heart moved slightly.
It seems that these two people already know about her departure yesterday...
Seeing that she didn't speak, Elder Xuanhai explained:
"Ling Zhi is responsible for the academy's barrier."
Ye Xiyue understood instantly.
I see.
She smiled and said:
"Master, don't worry, I'm fine. I went out last night because of some personal matters, and the situation was urgent, so I didn't have time to report it. I ask Master and Elder Lingzhi for your forgiveness."
Elder Xuanhai looked a little hesitant: "Private matters? That's..."
When he said this, he stopped again.
Ye Xiyue didn't take the initiative to say it, probably because she didn't want to say it.
"That's all, that doesn't matter, just be good!"
Elder Mu Lingzhi also smiled and nodded.
"Xuan Hai is right, no matter what you do, you just have to know it well."
The two elders obviously had no intention of continuing to ask further questions.
Ye Xiyue felt warm in her heart.
In fact, when things got to this point, with the resourcefulness of the two of them, they couldn't guess that she went to Ye's house yesterday.
But she didn't say anything, so they didn't expose it and just exposed it.
Even the night heron came and caused a scene.
She took a deep breath and saluted them both solemnly:
"Thank you Master and Elder Ling Zhi for your advice. I will keep it in mind. I promise that something like today will never happen again."
It's not that Ye Xiyue is afraid of them or doesn't trust them, it's just that this is a tug-of-war between her and the Ye family, and she doesn't want to involve them and cause trouble for them.
What's more, there are still many things that are still unknown. The more people who know, the more trouble it may be.
The best way is to deal with it in a low-key manner first.
Hearing what she said, the two elders Xuanhai looked at each other and nodded.
Elder Xuanhai patted Ye Xiyue on the shoulder and said:
"Don't worry, girl, just do whatever you want. Remember - no matter what happens, your master and the academy will support you!"
There seemed to be a warm current welling up in Ye Xiyue's chest and abdomen, and then flowing to her limbs and bones, making her whole body feel warm.
"By the way, why didn't you see that boy Jingchuan?"
Elder Xuanhai suddenly remembered something and patted his head.
Trouble came to Xi'er's door, but Jingchuan never showed up.
If this had happened in the past, he would have stood up for the girl long ago.
Ye Xiyue's heart skipped a beat, but her smile remained unchanged:
"It seems that Master doesn't know yet. He has been practicing in seclusion recently. It's normal not to know about these things outside."
"In seclusion?"
Elder Xuanhai suddenly understood,
"No wonder, I just said that I haven't seen him much recently. If I remember correctly, he should have broken through the Spirit King before, right?"
Not many people actually know this, because Jingchuan has always kept a low profile.
The reason why Elder Xuanhai remembered this was because they had visited Hongyuan Valley before.
There, Jingchuan indeed showed a spirit-king-level combat capability.
Ye Xiyue nodded.
Elder Xuanhai sighed:
"That boy also has potential. After this retreat, I don't know what state he will be in when he comes out... But, this is the only way to be worthy of our Xi'er girl, isn't it?"
