"I thought you like sweets?"

"What made you think of it like that?"

"I often see you eating sweets"

Shengsi takes a sip of her coffee "It's nice to have it every once in a while. I'm surprised your lackey isn't around" Mu Bai rolled his eyes "His just someone who likes to stick around...Aren't you supposed to be with Mo Fan?"

"He has his own errands to run"

"Well thanks for sparing some time for me"

"It's no big deal. Now talk, what is it that you need?"

Mu Bai looked confused for a moment before he finally spoke "..Huh? What do you mean?" Shengsi clicks her tongue "You wouldn't just ask me to come with you if you have nothing to ask for" Mu Bai sweatdrops "After..After the experience trip at Snow Mountain, I-I think you're not that bad" Shengsi scoffs "You just thought that I was bad, that's all there is to it"

"N-No..No! I jusr want to get to know you more. Hangout with you and so on"

"Well I wouldn't mind but mind you, I can be really busy" Shengsi shrugs 'He doesn't seem like he wants to gain intel on Mo Fan'

The two finally cleared the unpleasant air around them and got to know each other.

"Yeah, they said that the winner of the duel will have the chance to train at the Underground Holy Spring" Mo Fan stared at the girl who was busy on her phone "Oh wow, isn't that a rare opportunity? The more reasons to train" Mo Fan peeked over her shoulder and she immediately offed her phone "Awww I just wanted to see what you were doing" he huffed, resting his chin on her shoulder "Ever heard of privacy. Go and work on how you can improve your use for Wuyan"

"I've got the hang of it but it's not the easiest thing to do okay. You're constantly moving, thinking, and casting, it's so tiring" He rambled making Shengsi sigh "Well then you better up your endurance and stamina. That's just how it is"

After half an hour of practice, Mo Fan finally surrendered "Keep Wuyan until your duel" he nods in appreciation "I'm going to Xinxia's. She awakened the healing element, isn't that great! We'll be celebrating tonight, you should come" he boasted "Yeah, she told me" Shengsi rummaged through her bag and pulled out gray cloth tied with a white silk ribbon "I already have somewhere to go but give her this" she hands it to him "Please be careful with it"

"What is it?"

"It's a hair pin from my homeland"

"Is that why you were absent after your encounter with the fire natured spider?...Aren't you originally-"

"Yeah, I was absent since I had something urgent to do there. Bo City isn't my land of origin"

*Ding*

Shengsi glanced at her phone "Well you and Xinxia should stay safe, I need to go now" she waved and left "I wonder where she's from"

Shengsi leaned on Mu Bai as the two of them were leisurely reading their book. They've been interacting with each other for some time now and the other students were quick to notice.

"You think she broke up with Mo Fan?"

"It's not that surprising"

"I thought Mu Bai wasn't in good terms with her"

"She managed to snag him that quick?"

Kunsan glared at them "Can you guys shut up? It's none of your business" Mo Fan and Xiaohou let it slide for a few weeks but now that it had been months, they somewhat felt bothered seeing the two together, especially Mo Fan.
