Dantai Mingyue opened her eyes.
A voice followed:
"Are you awake?"
This was the voice of Nangong Wantu.
Dantai Mingyue got up from the bed and observed her surroundings.
—This was a small, simple room with two beds, two storage lockers, and a pair of facing desks.
The window overlooked a wall.
Other than Nangong Wantu, there was no one else.
It was very quiet.
Shen Ye sat at the table, holding a round paper box.
Inside the box was piping hot stir-fried noodles.
He was eating with relish, occasionally picking up a drink from the table for a sip.
"I remember... that general caught me..."
Dantai Mingyue said.
"That's right, you were under some kind of spirit control technique, and I summoned you here in time," Shen Ye said.
Dantai Mingyue sighed with relief, then her heart tensed again, and she quickly said,
"There's a high-level space series expert among them; they might come after us."
"No worries," Shen Ye said with a smile.
Some things are hard to explain.
