The Girl's Investigation
Kuina discovered the blind spot!
Even so, Kuina had no intention of confronting Lin Yan directly.
She is a sensible girl.
Although he had already guessed that Lin Yan must have done something else, it was also true that she was his savior.
Kuina wouldn't do anything to upset Lin Yan.
So there was no other way but to continue the investigation.
With that thought in mind, Kuina made up her mind again. She first glanced furtively at the door of Lin Yan's room, seemingly deep in thought.
Then the girl's eyes suddenly lit up.
Seemingly having come up with a good idea, the girl quickly walked to Lin Yan's room and knocked on the door.
"Who?"
"Sir, it's me. My father says he needs to discuss something with you. Do you have time?"
"Um... yes."
Lin Yan, who was in the room pondering what to teach Kuina, was taken aback. She didn't suspect Kuina of having ulterior motives, but simply thought that Koushirou had something to ask her.
After responding, Lin Yan quickly opened the door.
Where is your father?
"Uh... it should be in the front hall?"
Hearing Lin Yan ask this, Kuina felt a sense of dread, but she quickly calmed down and said this with some uncertainty.
"?"
Lin Yan couldn't help but slowly type out a question mark.
Should we look for ourselves?
Lin Yan sensed something was amiss, stared intently at Kuina for a moment, and then suddenly smiled.
"I understand. I'll head over now. Thank you for your trouble. Is your injury alright?"
"No, no problem!"
Kuina answered somewhat haltingly, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Lin Yan did not suspect anything and turned to leave.
The girl couldn't help but pat her chest.
"Ugh, lying is so hard! I won't do it again next time!"
After a thorough self-examination, Kuina's eyes lit up slightly as she looked at Lin Yan's room.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
After all, she was a young girl, and it was always hard for her to resist new and exciting things. Soon, Kuina carefully began searching through Lin Yan's room.
It seems they are trying to uncover Lin Yan's secret.
They had a great time for a while.
Lin Yan, perched on the roof beam, watched as Kuina searched her room with obvious interest and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
Of course, he wasn't angry.
Lin Yan had some idea why Kuina did this.
It's simply that they've become doubtful about what they said before.
No wonder.
Kuina has trained her swordsmanship for so long that she can be considered a fairly strong fighter. How could she not even be able to tell whether she had fainted or was dead?
It's only natural that such actions would be taken now.
"Never mind... let's go down and talk about it."
Watching Kuina search around like Nezumi, Lin Yan smiled helplessly. If she didn't give the girl an answer today, things would get complicated later.
Thinking this, Ye Feng silently disappeared from the rooftop.
Meanwhile, Kuina was still searching cautiously.
"Hmm... what exactly is it?"
Kuina carefully observed her surroundings, seemingly trying to find something unusual in the room.
However, upon closer inspection, everything seemed quite ordinary.
This made Kuina somewhat disappointed.
Everything looks normal.
Am I overthinking things?
However, the girl's disappointment didn't last long, as footsteps soon came from outside the door.
"Oh no!"
Kuina panicked immediately, realizing without a second thought that Lin Yan had returned.
Why so fast!
Kuina was screaming inwardly.
But there was no time to think about it now. Realizing that Lin Yan would be coming in soon, Kuina had no choice but to find a corner and slip inside.
Fortunately, she was small enough to Izo herself.
What tricks is Kuina playing?
Lin Yan pushed open the door and entered the next second. She glanced around her room briefly and immediately understood what was going on. She then deliberately complained a little.
Kuina, hiding in the corner, couldn't help but shudder.
Ye Feng smiled gently.
After all, the current situation is quite amusing, and it would be a shame not to tease the girl in front of him.
Thinking it over, Ye Feng deliberately put on an angry expression and blew on the table.
"This is absolutely outrageous!"
"..."
Kuina was about to cry!
No way, no way...
I only lied to you a little, did you have to be so upset?
It's terrifying to be caught lying, I want to go home!
Kuina was trembling.
For the next period of time, Lin Yan was clearly indulging in some kind of wicked pleasure. She condemned Kuina's actions in an extremely angry tone while also talking about various ways to get revenge.
It's absolutely absurd.
Kuina trembled, doing nothing and daring not to ask anything, only able to cower in the corner, on the verge of tears.
If only she had known beforehand that deceiving Lin Yan would have such terrible consequences.
I would never come, no matter what!
Curiosity killed the cat!
However, out of Kuina's sight, Lin Yan simply watched this scene with great interest. Feeling that it was about time, she softened her tone slightly.
"Alright, enough joking around. I admire how long you could stay awake. You're really strong after all. I don't blame you for waking up. Come out."
Lin Yan spoke towards the spot where Kuina was hiding.
"..."
Upon hearing this, Kuina was stunned for a moment.
Then, she blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.
Oh, it was just a joke.
That scared me to death...
Kuina patted her chest, still shaken, and breathed a sigh of relief. Then, realizing her current predicament, her pretty face flushed red again.
Then, to Lin Yan's amusement, Kuina awkwardly crawled out from under the table, her face full of embarrassment.
He looks like a little kid who's done something wrong.
Lin Yan couldn't help but smile.
"Alright, stop standing there. Do I look like some kind of monster? Anyway, sit down and explain why you broke into my room."
Lin Yan asked Kuina with a light laugh.
Although Kuina couldn't clearly see Lin Yan's appearance due to her special state of Faceless Appearance, Kuina breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Lin Yan's gentle tone, which didn't seem angry.
After thinking for a moment, the girl spoke directly.
"I want to know... how did you save me that day when I died—no, after I passed out?"
