• Relieved that the Night Court Master would not come after him, Gu Qing wondered what the Magic Mirror meant and asked another question.

Gu Qing learned that Bai Ningyu had created the spatial rift and suspected she was in the Origin Land with extraordinary potential. After discovering the Deity Girl could not see him, he spent the rest of his break grinding attributes with Xia Shuran and Liu Zhiyi, leaving his two skill progressions nearly complete.

• Liu Yue invited the others to the Cafeteria, but Gu Qing stayed behind to eat the lunch Xia Shuran had made him while Wu Jiahao boasted to Liu Yue.

While Xia Shuran shared lunch with Gu Qing, he read Night Court Forum assessments of the deputy captain candidates and found that commenters dismissed his chances while praising Zhang Zhibei and Li Zhan.
