I Didn't Lie to You

"Huh?"

When she opened her eyes, she saw a gatehouse before her. The gatehouse was very tall and large, leading to an even larger courtyard enclosed by a wall about ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) long. Looking back, she saw a long, seemingly endless Great Dao behind her, a road lined with crowded houses. 🐙☢ ♣☢

Looking up at the tall gatehouse, she was stunned by the large characters carved on it. "Canaan... Jia Nan Academy???"

It reads in large characters: Jia Nan Academy.

Jia Nan Academy???

What's going on here?

He arrived at the Jia Nan Academy, the place where his sister studied; Jia Nan Academy in the Black-Corner Region was right before his eyes.

Xiao Qing was shocked.

Could he be telling the truth?

Or am I dreaming?

How could I have arrived at the Jia Nan Academy in the blink of an eye?

Although it was night, the moon was very round and large tonight, illuminating the night quite brightly; otherwise, Xiao Qing wouldn't have been able to see the distant scenery clearly.

There are lights illuminating the gate tower, so the large characters on it can be seen.

"Is it really Jia Nan Academy? Am I dreaming, or is it just a hallucination?!" Xiao Qing rubbed her eyes and pinched her face a few times, making her fair cheeks a little sore. "It hurts... So, this isn't a dream."

"See, little sister? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

ah--

Hearing the voice, Xiao Qing immediately turned around and saw that the person behind her was none other than the handsome young man who had just kidnapped her from the Mittel Clan manor. 🐯☹ 🎁♣

"How did you do that?" Xiao Qing felt that he wasn't lying to her, and her attitude immediately improved. After all, they were already at the gate of the Jia Nan Academy, so how fake could it be?

So she chose to believe him for the time being, even though she wasn't sure if this was really Jia Nan Academy. What if it was fake?

After all, bad people are the best at making fakes and deceiving others. They could easily make a fake sign and engrave the words "Jia Nan Academy" on it, so we'll have to see my sister to find out if it's real or fake.

Before meeting my sister, everything could be a lie!

"What?" Qian Ye looked at her with a smile.

Xiao Qing: "I mean, the capital of the Jia Ma Empire is so far away from here, it would take at least ten days to half a month to get there, and that's by carriage. But you brought me from the Mittel Clan manor in the capital to the gate of the Jia Nan Academy in the Black-Corner Region in the blink of an eye. I think that's impossible."

It seems the little girl still doesn't believe in herself.

That's normal. As a young girl with limited experience, having lived in the small town of Wu Tan City, she had little contact with the outside world and had met very few powerful figures. It's understandable that she would have doubts about things that were different from what she imagined.

"Because I can do anything!" Qianye stretched out and said indifferently.🐉🐸 ➅❾ⓈⓗỮ 🐼💙

This is nothing compared to his own supernatural abilities.

He smiled and said, "Shall we go?"

He then turned and walked away in the opposite direction.

"Where to?" Xiao Qing stood still, glancing back at the Jia Nan Academy, unsure whether to stay or leave.

"It's so late at night, you don't want to disturb the students and your sister's rest by going into the academy in the middle of the night, do you?" Qian Ye said as she walked forward.

That's true!

Xiao Qing pondered for a moment before slowly catching up, "So, Qian Ye, where are we going now?"

"Of course, it's for sleeping."

"Sleep... sleep?" Xiao Qing covered her chest with her hands in fright, feeling that he was so bad. "What... what do you want to do to me?"

Qian Ye: "..."

What can I do for her?

The little girl has such a strange personality; she's so easily startled, I don't know what to say about her!

She's already seventeen, practically a grown woman, so why is she so clueless?

She's still too inexperienced compared to her older sister!

Xiao Qing hesitated for a moment, then chased after him.

After walking for a while, Xiao Qing began to see that the shops around her were still open. It was a long street with towering buildings on both sides, and there were people strolling around. Her heart relaxed.

Looking at his back, it seems he wasn't lying to me; he's a good person.

Soon after, the two appeared at the entrance of a restaurant.

Qian Ye glanced at the restaurant sign and then walked inside.

Xiao Qing glanced at it too. The sign above the restaurant read "Jia Nan Grand Restaurant" in large characters. It turned out she had misunderstood him; he was there to rest. She had thought he meant "sleep"...

Thinking of this, Xiao Qing blushed deeply. Honestly, what was she thinking?!

Then I followed him into the restaurant lobby and arrived at the front desk.

A fair-skinned and beautiful woman stood at the front desk, dressed in a tight-fitting gold robe. She was quite attractive. Upon seeing the guests arrive, she immediately greeted them, "Hello, sir/madam, are you here for accommodation or would you like to have a meal first?"

Having already eaten their fill at the Mittel Clan manor, Qian Ye wasn't hungry. He patted his stomach and asked, "Regarding accommodations, could you give us two rooms?"

"Yes, sir." The receptionist immediately began processing his request, then paused, looked up at Qian Ye with a smile, and said, "I'm sorry, sir, the restaurant is quite busy today, and we don't have any spare rooms. We only have one deluxe VIP double room left. If you're staying together, you can have it; otherwise, we can only accommodate one of you."

Qian Ye: "..."

Xiao Qing: "..."

They exchanged a glance, Xiao Qing blushed, and immediately turned her head away, not daring to look at him. Qian Ye said, "It seems that's the only way!"

"Okay sir, please pay the bill, five hundred gold coins!" the receptionist said.

five hundred?

As expected of the largest restaurant in Jia Nan City, it was outrageously expensive.

It's not that I'm short of money, it's just that I'm too lazy to change places late at night. Otherwise, I could just go into my own Qian Gate in the Inner Academy Jia Nan Academy and stay wherever I want.

Qian Ye didn't say much. The other party was just an employee, and the price was set by the restaurant owner. There was nothing to say to the waiter. He took out five hundred gold coins and paid.

"Thank you!" The receptionist counted the money, a bright smile on her face.

Then he gave Qian Ye a key. "Third floor, room number is on the key."

Qian Ye glanced at it and immediately went up to the third floor. Xiao Qing followed closely behind, head down. It was the first time she had stayed at a restaurant with a stranger, and they were even sharing a room. Since there was only one room left in the restaurant...

Qian Ye found the room, stuck the card key on the mark on the door, and immediately the door flashed and opened automatically.

After taking out the card, Xiao Qing and I went inside one after the other. We turned on the lights, and the room was brightly lit. It was a large room with luxurious decorations, including a toilet and a bathroom. There was a magnificent double bed, gold wallpaper on the walls, and several paintings and floral decorations.

A red carpet was laid on the floor, and lights hung from the ceiling, illuminating the room as if it were daytime. Although it was expensive, it wasn't a case of false advertising; otherwise, they would have been in for a surprise.

Qian Ye smiled and looked at Xiao Qing: "Qingqing, there's a bathroom inside, why don't you go take a shower first?"
