A Single Slash

"He's already gone in."

Yan Kai appeared in Qi Lin's office. Qi Lin didn't seem surprised that Lin Shuguang had gone to the Secret Realm. He slowly lowered the book in his hands and looked from the open window toward the Secret Realm. "Are you worried about him?"

Yan Kai nodded slightly. "The commotion he caused was too great."

Although he didn't say the rest aloud, Qi Lin understood.

The matter between Lin Shuguang and Wei Xinlong had become known to everyone. Even the principal had heard about it.

Had Lin Shuguang done something wrong?

He hadn't. But many things in this world couldn't be decided simply by right and wrong.

Qi Lin lowered his gaze and smiled gently. "Believe in him." After a pause, he continued with a smile, "Before coming to Demon Martial, I had already met him. The ability he displayed was absolutely not something someone his age should possess. I think you've dealt with him these past few days, so you should understand this even more deeply."

Yan Kai's expression froze. Indeed, as Mr. Qi had said, Lin Shuguang was truly extraordinary.

Qi Lin continued, "So just wait. He'll definitely give us a huge surprise."

Yan Kai bowed slightly and left.

Qi Lin stood before the window, gazing toward the Secret Realm. "Everything within the red line is an illusion. What is it that your heart truly desires...?"
