"Minghui."
When Mu Sheng and Lü Xing came looking for her, Dongfang Minghui still looked a little dazed.
"Lü Xing, why are you here?"
Shouldn't he be happily sharing that perfect first time with the heroine?
Dongfang Minghui blinked and rubbed her eyes.
"Minghui, there's only one day left before the selection tournament, but Sister Wanyu is nowhere to be found. Did she say anything?"
Now even she felt that things had strayed a little too far from the script.
"She didn't seem to say anything." Dongfang Minghui racked her brains but came up empty. "Why don't we go out and look for her?"
The heroine wouldn't simply disappear, after all. The winner of the New Student Selection Tournament could receive an infusion of spiritual power. She certainly wouldn't miss something so important.
The three of them went out together and wandered around the streets of Cloud Capital City.
"Strange. Nothing should have gone wrong." Dongfang Minghui tapped her head. She kept feeling as though she had overlooked something.
If the heroine didn't have that unexpected encounter with Lü Xing, how would she gain the support of part of the Elf Clan later?
"Minghui, what are you doing?" Lü Xing caught her hand. "You're injured. We shouldn't have let you come running around with us. We should have let you rest at the inn."
"How did you know I was injured?" Dongfang Minghui found it strange. She hadn't even told Liu Qi about her injury, and she secretly applied her medicine each day while the others were out.
Lü Xing pointed to his nose. "I smelled it."
Mu Sheng grew anxious. "Injured? How did you get injured? If we'd known, we wouldn't have come out."
"Shh."
"Hey, do you know what was sold at the Nangong Household's auction this time?"
