Unknowingly, the sky gradually cleared and brightened again.
Xu Zimei stretched lazily, the book in his hand had already reached the last page.
"Finished reading," he exhaled deeply and took a gentle sip of the hot tea beside him.
It seemed as if the tiredness from the whole night had been dispelled.
"Thanks," Xu Zimei stood up and said.
"I still have to go to Triumph Hall. I'll come back when I get a chance."
"I'm always here, you can come anytime," the elderly man nodded and said.
Xu Zimei nodded and then left the Rest Hall of Books.
It wasn't until Xu Zimei's figure disappeared that the ragged old man at the academy's entrance walked in.
He looked at the Demon Sage and asked, "You know him?"
"I know him," the Demon Sage nodded.
"What a joke, that kid is so young," the ragged old man was evidently skeptical.
"You'll understand in the future," the Demon Sage was unwilling to explain more; he merely gazed out the window, looking into the horizon.
