Ye Lin rested his hand on the edge of the door. After standing there for a moment, he slowly withdrew it, then turned and casually closed the door.
"So, you've made up your mind?"
"A very wise choice."
Du Shuangshuang snapped her fingers and looked at Ye Lin with an approving expression.
Then she slowly rose to her feet and began circling around Ye Lin.
"You have a nice air about you."
"Three days from now is the Heavenly Court's once-in-a-century drifting boat race. You must ensure that we take first place."
Du Shuangshuang extended her index finger toward Ye Lin and spoke softly.
Ye Lin merely nodded slightly.
He had no idea what the heck that was, but agreeing first was all that mattered.
"Good. Take this Identity Token. For the next three days, you have nothing to do and may move about freely."
"If you run into anyone, just show them this Identity Token. As long as you carry it, no one will make things difficult for you."
Ye Lin caught the Identity Token Du Shuangshuang tossed over, nodded lightly, then hung it from his waist and turned to leave.
"Just like those mortal storybooks—suddenly barging in, yet his true identity turns out to be the young master of some great power."
"Only this time, the roles have been switched."
Du Shuangshuang muttered to herself as she watched Ye Lin's departing back.
In the corner beside her window sat a chest, with a huge pile of books stacked atop it.
The titles on the top few books could vaguely be made out.
[Stranded in the Mortal World, the Domineering Young Master Falls in Love with Me]
[I Am the First Prince's Child Bride]
[Amnesiac After a Great Battle, Taken In by a Young Master from the Lower Realm]
