The place ​that Song Ci spoke of was the mountain ​behind Mo​ Y​ao, where ​demons were held​ captive​.

Unfortunately, neither of them knew the way there, so they had to put their plans on hold and head back to sleep.

It was only after returning that Song Ci ​realized Wen Changchu had​ yet to return​. He could not help worrying: ​please don’t stir up trouble!

​Rong Bai was unconcerned. After casting the lantern​ aside​, he took his boots off and climbed into bed. ​Without even covering himself with the quilt, he closed his eyes and went to sleep.

​Rong Bai’s breathing was steady by the time Song Ci ​had quietly taken off his clothes. He looked as if he had already fallen asleep.

Although it ​was spring, the night ​was still a little chilly. Rong Bai was likely to fall ill the next morning if he slept without a quilt the whole night. After thinking about it, Song Ci decided to be nosy and tuck him in.

​But Rong Bai was sleeping on his own quilt and would definitely be jolted awake if Song Ci pulled it out from under him. 

​Lu Shaoqing had warned him never to disturb Rong Bai’s sleep unless there was an absolute need. Otherwise, ​Rong Bai would fly into a rage and butcher anyone he saw, regardless of friend or foe.

Song Ci shivered​ and quietly pulled his quilt over Rong​ Bai. To cover himself ​with the quilt​ too​, he slowly ​wormed his way over​, taking up half of Rong​ B​ai’s bed.

​The instant the ​quilt touched Rong​ Bai, ​his breathing lightened and his long, dense eyelashes ​gave a slight ​quiver ​as he partially opened his indifferent eyes​.

​On seeing that, Song ​Ci ​panicked and hurriedly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep with half his face buried under the quilt.

Rong​ ​Bai ​cast him a look and said nothing​ as he turned his head slightly ​to the side to continue ​sleeping.

​​​​Song Ci waited for a while, but Rong Bai did not erupt with anger. It seemed that Lu Shaoqing’s words were not entirely right. ​Master Rong was not as temperamental​ ​as he had suggested​, killing people at every turn. After getting along with ​him for several days​, Song Ci felt that ​Master Rong​ was actually good-tempered​ ​and could even be considered gentle.

​At least, ​for the time being​. ​

​Song Ci was relieved and continued to mull it over for a moment. But he was tired after half a night of torment and gradually fell asleep. ​

​Song Ci slept until the deafening bell rang​ and pulled ​him ​out from his dream. When he opened his eyes, most of the people in the room ​had already woken up. Even Rong​ Bai was ​all dressed and ready.

Song ​Ci gave a big yawn​ and rose from the bed​ to put on the clothes he had ​received yesterday​. Then he went to the ​courtyard to wash his face and gargle​ his mouth​ with water​, after which he tied his hair up with a piece of hair ribbon. With a little tidying up, he looked spirited.

Right after he was done, they were shepherded to the morning class. Song Ci walked beside Rong Bai and followed the big ​squad to the morning class​ hall​.

The sun had just ​raised its head, and the early morning ​breeze was cool. Numerous newly recruited disciples gathered at the front of the ​entrance to the morning class hall. Under the smiling gaze of Zhu Yi​s​hu, no one dared to speak casually and ​simply ​stood quietly.
