All these changes did not affect Mu Xian; it was as if he knew this would happen.
With a slight twitch of his finger, the flying stone shattered the reflection on the water's surface.
The splashing water made Mu Xian frown as he looked in the direction from which the stone had come.
He was a young man with long, light blond hair, and looked similar to Mu Xian.
He had been sitting on the shore, looking distressed, throwing stones into the lake.
After throwing the stone, the young man saw Mu Xian being splashed by the lake water and hurriedly stood up from the ground.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."
Realizing he had done something wrong, he bowed very quickly, as if he had done it countless times before.
"You should be alright, right?"
The young man's remorseful attitude made it impossible for Mu Xian to beat him up.
Of course, Mu Xian had no intention of teaching this stranger a lesson.
Mu Xian shifted his gaze from the young man and looked back at the lake.
However, the indifferent reflection on the lake quickly drew Mu Xian's attention away.
"What an annoying look..."
The murmuring made the young man stop in his tracks, his mouth slowly opening as if he had been taken aback.
However, the young man shook his head and quickly recovered.
He rubbed his eyes vigorously with both hands, trying to soften his gaze.
"I'm so sorry about what happened before."
"I was so preoccupied with my own thoughts that I didn't even notice there was someone standing next to me."
As he spoke, the young man rubbed the back of his head.
"By the way, my name is Kavi, what's your name?"
"Judging from your appearance, you're probably not a Sumeru person."
Kavi seemed to have a lot to say, but Mu Xian didn't choose to answer.
After all, Mu Xian didn't have a good first impression of the guy who splashed water all over him.
He looked down at his reflection in the water, but Kavi continued to whisper in Mu Xian's ear.
It looks exactly like the Night Palace of Mount Sumeru, and there are two Night Palaces at that...
"Looks like you were kicked out by your roommate too."
"Just to clarify, I wasn't kicked out by Elheisen..."
"But that guy... he actually took all the house keys!!"
At this point, Kavi began to grit his teeth.
A stone appeared in his hand again, seemingly out of nowhere.
He aimed it at El... no, at the lake, and threw it.
A flash of cold light appeared in his sight, and Kavi heard the sound of something sheathing its blade.
The stone in front of them was neatly cut into several small pieces, which fell to the ground with gravity.
Kavi's gaze followed the falling stones, and then he finally realized what was happening.
"So...so awesome!"
Kavi's eyes lit up: "Could you perform it again?"
Mu Xian was so annoyed by the noise that he was about to tell the other man to shut up when an elegant voice came first.
"I'm sorry, but I have something to discuss with Mr. Mu Xian. Could you please leave for a moment, sir?"
The sound made both Kavi and Mu Xian look at the girl who appeared not far away, and the two made different movements.
Kavi was visibly stunned when he saw the girl.
He looked at Mu Xian, then at the girl, and made a "suddenly realized" expression.
"Sorry to bother you."
After saying that, Kavi quickly walked away into the distance.
His tone and actions were extremely gentlemanly, but look at the way he took three steps and then turned back once.
This guy might just be looking for a more secluded observation spot.
However, Mu Xian on the other side didn't make as many moves as Kavi.
A hint of surprise did flash across his eyes when he looked at Ayaka.
It was indeed surprising that she, as the young lady of the Goddess, would appear in Sumeru without any apparent reason.
However, Mu Xian recovered quickly.
After all, she has little to do with me now, and I don't need to be curious about what she's up to.
His gaze shifted from Ayaka back to the lake, where the eyes seemed to grow even colder.
Mu Xian's gaze shifted away from her, causing Ling Hua's smile to freeze.
She could sense the change in Mu Xian's attitude.
—Completely different from before.
An unease arose from Ayaka.
Although the unease was faint, it urged Linghua to walk towards Muxian.
Linghua walked to the edge of Tianbi Pond, looked up at Mu Xian, and quietly took a small step back.
The distance he stepped back was just right, so that he was side by side with Mu Xian.
"The Rongcai Festival is quite interesting, isn't it..."
As she spoke, Ayaka smiled, pursing her lips.
But realizing he was laughing a little too much, he covered his mouth slightly with his hand.
When he lowered his right hand, only a faint smile remained.
"I had a very happy Rongcai Festival..." Even though Mu Xianjun didn't notice.
The girl's joy came from the smallest things.
Or rather, even the smallest things seem to bring extraordinary joy.
But...
"Really boring."
Mu Xian murmured to himself, his gaze toward Ayaka Kamisato not any colder than his gaze toward the others.
But they were the eyes of strangers.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do this time?"
The unease in her heart spread like a sea, threatening to drown Ayaka.
The overwhelming unease made Linghua look at Mu Xian, hoping to see the intimacy of the past in Mu Xian.
-No...
—Absolutely not!!
The eyes cannot hide emotions.
Even though Ayaka showed a smile that was extremely offensive to her, her trembling eyes still gave everything away.
"Mu Xianjun..."
Linghua took a step forward, a movement that Mu Xian noticed.
"How cliché..."
Mu Xian, who was watching Ling Hua's actions, quickly looked away.
She always makes this gesture whenever she has a request.
Mu Xian used to always fall for this.
But people always change.
I may not be better now, but I'm definitely not worse.
At least it won't be so bad that she would be deeply moved by such an action.
"So, Miss..."
This was a title that Mu Xian often used in her previous life, but now it sounded particularly grating to Ling Hua.
"If you want to help, you should at least prepare some compensation."
“You knew that before, and now I understand it too.”
"Tear away the facade of the master-servant relationship, and you don't really have much affection for me, do you?"
"and..."
"After leaving the Kamisato family, I can no longer be considered a servant of your Kamisato family."
Chapter 149 Goodbye, Young Miss
—Leaving the Kamisato family?
The content of his words was completely different from what his elder brother had said.
—My brother clearly said...
"That's only temporary."
Linghua looked up at Mu Xian: "You'll definitely come back... right?"
