Once Cheng Mingyue returned to normal, the three of them headed towards the academy, which appeared somewhat dilapidated.
This place had only one tightly closed gate with no one guarding it, making it seem abandoned.
Guan Gui asked, "Shall we scout?"
It seemed he intended to use a spirit to scout ahead.
Li Rui shook his head and said, "Better not. What if they just don't like cleaning? If someone is inside and catches your spirit, even with Master Bo Yuan's token, it wouldn't be easy to explain."
He stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker.
Thud, thud, thud.
A lengthy silence followed.
After a while, just as Li Rui was about to knock again, a sound came from the gate about as tall as a person; a bolt was drawn, and the door opened a crack.
A young man's face appeared, glancing suspiciously at the three of them without saying a word.
Thud.
The door closed again.
"Hey!"
Cheng Mingyue wanted to step forward to argue, "That was so rude!"
"Wait."
