Whatever had happened there, she still had to make the trip and do her best to force him to recognize the odds and back down. Ideally, he would leave their little team, so he and Seventh Sister would have absolutely no chance of appearing together during their training expedition.
"Seventh Sister, the competition is over. I happen to have something to take care of, so I'll head off first."
Qian Wanyu watched her hurry away and recalled how restless she had been all day. After a moment's hesitation, she briefly handed over the remaining matters and quickly followed her.
Dongfang Minghui noticed someone following her. She deliberately circled around the academy several times, and only after she was certain she had shaken her pursuer off did she head toward the grove.
"Your wings have grown strong enough to fly on your own, have they?"
Greater vigilance was a good thing, but she had turned that skill against Qian Wanyu herself. Certain that Dongfang Minghui was hiding something from her, Qian Wanyu quickened her pace further and followed.
