Just when Mu Wanqing and You Qingfeng were talking about Bai Yunfei, a disciple suddenly came to report that the person who had informed them of the situation in the afternoon on behalf of Bai Yunfei had come over to pay a visit.
“He?” Mu Wanqing frowned slightly, seeming to be somewhat puzzled.
You Qingfeng also said somewhat doubtfully: “What has he come here for? Could it be because of Bai Yunfei? But according to my earlier analysis, there shouldn’t be a very close connection between them…”
Mu Wanqing looked in the direction of the main gate, saying: “No matter what, since he already came here, I think I’d better go and welcome him. I feel that he…”
“Oh, I know what you want to say. I also have that kind of feeling. As long as he has no bad intentions, we’ll receive him properly. There’s nothing wrong with this.” You Qingfeng said with a nod.
They both turned around and walked towards the gate again.
Hong Yin was standing with a smiling expression at the main gate. Seeing the two of them walking over, he folded his hands rather apologetically, saying: “Please excuse my sudden visit, headmaster Mu. I would like to stay in your school for several days. Hopefully you will allow me to do so.”
Hong Yin’s straightforwardness surprised Mu Wanqing. She then said smilingly: “You don’t have to stand on ceremony, young hero. Now that you’ve come here to be a guest, my school will certainly welcome you. Right, what’s your name, young hero?”
“Hong Yin.”
“Oh, young hero Hong Yin, it’s already evening so you’d better have a rest first. Is it okay if I tell someone to take you to a guest room next to Bai Yunfei’s?” Mu Wanqing said.
Hong Yin folded his hands to her again, saying: “In that case, thank you very much, headmaster Mu.”
After watching Hong Yin walk away under the guidance of a disciple, Mu Wanqing turned to looked at You Qingfeng and saw him frowning slightly, seeming to be pondering about something.
“Qingfeng, are you okay?”
You Qingfeng looked in the direction where Hong Yin had disappeared and said somewhat doubtfully: “Hong Yin… I seem to have heard this name somewhere before. But for the moment I can’t remember when this happened…”
“Oh? Could it be he’s an outstanding disciple of a certain school or family?” Mu Wanqing asked in bewilderment.
You Qingfeng pondered again for some time but still could not remember it. He then shook his head gently and gave up thinking, saying: “No matter who he is, at least both of us can tell that he’s definitely more powerful than us. Only, he’s hiding it so well we’re simply unable to know his power level, which also means he must be much stronger than us… It’s best to make friends with this kind of person. Even if this is impossible, we should try as hard as we can not to offend him. I think he seems to think quite highly of Bai Yunfei, but for what reason…?”
“Mm, I’m pretty curious about this too.” Mu Wanqing said with a nod, “Given his power, it would have been as easy as turning his hand for him to resolve the problem for Bai Yunfei, but it seems Bai Yunfei didn’t want to owe him too much at all so he had no choice but to help him a bit by giving us a message, letting us go and rescue him. I feel that there shouldn’t be a very deep relationship between them. At least Bai Yunfei is still unfamiliar with him, but somehow he cares about Bai Yunfei quite a lot…”
You Qingfeng shook his head gently, saying laughingly: “Don’t think about it too much, Wanqing. There’s not much point in guessing either. Now that he’s staying here, this is beneficial to us. If that Glacial School really comes here to make trouble, maybe he’ll get into action. In that case, we’ll have less to worry about, right?”
“Mm, you’re right. Now let’s just wait for the Glacial School’s reaction. When the time comes, we’ll act according to the situation…”
