I sent my master a message, asking where this place was.
My master didn't reply. I was busy checking out and heading back to school, so I didn't call him either.
I still had classes that morning. I bought some breakfast off the street, returned to the dorm to grab my books, and headed to the classroom.
The timing was just right. After waiting a while, the instructor arrived.
At the same time, my master replied to my message.
I glanced at it. There were only two words: Receive blessings.
Seeing that, I actually felt a little excited.
Thinking of what Uncle Yu had told me last night, receiving blessings was a traditional ritual of our lineage.
Still, I was a little curious. What would I receive this time?
I had to admit, I was looking forward to it.
During class, I was a little distracted.
After a full day of classes, I hadn't really taken in everything the instructor said.
But after the last class in the afternoon, a female classmate suddenly came up to me.
"Jiang Ning!"
Hearing someone call me, I looked up.
It was Li Xiaomin, the most popular girl in our class.
She was beautiful and an excellent student.
She got along well with everyone in class and had an easygoing personality.
We got along fairly well too, though mostly when it came to studying.
I smiled and nodded.
"Yeah? What is it, Xiaomin?"
"Jiang Ning, are you free tonight? It's my birthday today, and I've arranged a gathering. Let's get together tonight."
Li Xiaomin invited me warmly.
But I showed a hint of hesitation.
Seeing that I hadn't agreed, a classmate beside us chimed in.
"Jiang Ning, tomorrow and the day after are the weekend. We can even go play an escape room later.
