The Wind Element lifted Mo Yuan into the air. As the gusts surged, he became a blur and shot straight toward the opposite side of Sea God Lake.
About two minutes later, the Outer Court came into clear view. But just as Mo Yuan was preparing to land, a familiar figure caught his eye nearby.
A boy in a white New Student Uniform, with silver-white hair, was leaning back in a chair, head bowed as he dozed.
"Bai Yi? What's he doing here?"
After taking a closer look and confirming it was Bai Yi, Mo Yuan landed right in front of him, still wondering what he was doing there. At the sound, Bai Yi, who had been dozing with his head down, suddenly jolted awake.
He looked up sharply. The moment he saw Mo Yuan in his red uniform, delight filled Bai Yi's eyes.
"Brother Moyuan, you really did get into the Inner Court! I knew it. Your name wasn't on either the Core Disciple list or the Class Assignment list, so aside from getting expelled, the only possibility was that you'd made it into the Inner Court!"
"So it really is you. Shouldn't you be in class at this hour? What are you doing here?"
"Uh... Brother Moyuan, sit down first." Bai Yi hesitated, then patted the chair beside him, inviting Mo Yuan to sit.
Mo Yuan gave Bai Yi a curious look before sitting down. His instincts told him the kid had come to him for a reason. "Go on. What do you need?"
"Heh, you guessed right, Brother Moyuan. I've been waiting here all night for you."
Bai Yi scratched his head as he spoke. But when Mo Yuan didn't reply and simply watched him in silence, the smile on Bai Yi's face gradually stiffened, then vanished.
