Xuan Xiao felt increasingly agitated and frustrated. If it weren't for her rationality and restraint holding her back, she would have stormed into the men's restroom to give Qian Mo a piece of her mind about his frequent and urgent need to relieve himself!
"Ah, much better! I just had a bit of inspiration; I need to hurry back and finish the last part of my reflection before dinner!" While Xuan Xiao was gritting her teeth against the wall, Qian Mo strolled out of the restroom, nonchalantly flicking droplets of water from his hands that he hadn't completely dried.
"Are you serious? Stop flicking that around!"
"Not a chance! What if I accidentally wet my reflection paper? You'll have to write me another one!"
"You jerk!"
"Wait... something seems off."
"Don't change the subject!"
"Are you cold?"
"I don't drink hot water!"
"The first page of the Embalmer's manual."
"Um... Embalmer, master of spirits, cultivator of willpower. Death as a companion, darkness as a friend. Measure Specters, fulfill lingering wishes. Listen to the last words of the deceased, dispel demons and monsters. Since the Primordial Wilderness, whenever there are heavy rains in the mountains or ghostly winds by the rivers, in cities filled with illusions and dense fog, there will surely be wandering souls. One often feels sudden chills, losing focus and spirit; the Embalming clan must be cautious! For if an Embalmer transforms spirits and cultivates willpower, then Wang Hun can also backfire to refine oneself." Although she was still slightly out of sync, the principles of the Embalmer lineage were firmly etched in Xuan Xiao's mind.
Upon hearing Qian Mo ask about the Embalmer's manual, she instinctively responded.
"Now let me ask you again: are you cold?"
Cold? She realized she was indeed feeling a bit chilly. It hadn't been this cold when she first stepped out of the classroom... Even though it was nighttime, it was still summer! When did her thoughts become so sluggish? Xuan Xiao suddenly snapped back to reality; she had unknowingly been distracted. The instigator lurking somewhere hadn't even directly attacked her! Could mere residual power disrupt her mind like this?
"It's nearly ten o'clock," Qian Mo said as he checked his watch. The main campus should be mostly deserted by now... Wait, Professor Liu!
"The office is on the third floor of this main teaching building. I'm going to check on Professor Liu now; Xuan Xiao, you head back to the classroom."
"Did you forget your equipment? Where is it in your bag? I'll get it for you quickly."
"No... I always carry my equipment with me. I meant for you to grab the exam papers and reflection; if that Specter hasn't attacked Professor Liu, I don't want to look awkward..." At that moment, Qian Mo pulled out a beautifully crafted Wolf Hair Brush from somewhere.
The brush was only palm-sized, with a tip made from an unknown material that emitted a jade-like glow in the dimly lit corridor tainted by Specter energy.
"You... jerk! Just wait!" After hesitating for a moment, Xuan Xiao finally relented and quickly turned to dash back toward the classroom.
Watching Xuan Xiao's retreating figure, Qian Mo looked up at the direction of the third-floor office.
"I don't know who you are, but keep your hands clean... I still haven't submitted my reflection and error summary!"
