After chatting for a long while, the sun set and the moon rose, bringing the Bai Realm into night. After much effort, Xiao Heng finally talked Lin Xiao Yi out of entering his room for a drink of water. With a click, he shut the door and let out a sigh of relief.
His throat bobbed as Xiao Heng exhaled a scorching breath. He knew Lin Xiao Yi's temperament all too well—she was practically offering herself up! And he did not have much faith in his own character, either. If he truly let that little girl into his room, he had no idea what might happen. Better to cut off the possibility entirely!
The night passed without incident...!
The next morning, sunlight woke the world, and Lin Xiao Yi woke Xiao Heng. Naturally, she still did not get into his room.

Xiao Heng simply wanted to make a trip to the Scripture Pavilion, deposit a few things there, and perhaps see whether there were any Combat Skills suitable for him. It did not really matter if there were none; he was not particularly lacking in them now.
Outside the Scripture Pavilion, Xiao Heng displayed his token and smoothly passed through the great doors. Unfortunately, he did not encounter Turtle Elder this time.
He walked straight into the Scripture Pavilion and made his way to the highest floor. It was still that same starry sky, countless stars glittering overhead. Xiao Heng raised his hand, and several scrolls flew out, turning into streaks of light as they rose into the sky above and became new stars.
