“Hey, what happened?” Yang Ji immediately appeared next to Yang Xu, who was in the sky, looking straight at a figure.
This figure was in class, seemingly attentive. Though, he sat close to the window and would look at the sky and smile back. In fact, when the teacher was not looking, he would even daringly wave his hand.
It truly gave one the shivers when they realised how odd of a thing this was.
“I found him.” Yang Xu said with narrowed eyes. “He really is completely fine. He’s even smiling and waving at us. How can someone in the Qi Condensation possibly do that?”
Yang Xu then turned her eyes towards her Brother and questioned with curiosity, not showing any sign of blame. “Also, why did you use so much of my Qi just now? I even felt a little drained.”
“Oh, that. I was actually passing on some of my experience in the Dao of Space and the Dao of Time to Lei Ao. Get this, he is the Young Master of the Red Clouds Cave Heaven. I’ve given him something good to establish ties to Red Clouds Cave Heaven.” Yang Ji opened his arms wide as though he had come up with an ingenious plan. “Once he awakens, he will be so grateful to us that we might go there to play some time. I heard that Red Clouds Cave Heaven is one of the top Sects when it comes to auctions. Surely, we would be able to get some treasure map or Secret Realm key from it.”
Yang Xu, hearing this, had her eyes widened. “Ah. Then we could go on more adventures.”
“Right.” Yang Ji grinned like he had just won the lottery. “Not only that, since he is already busy learning the Daos from my experience, I’m already done for the day. Seeing that we have no class, I guess we can do whatever we want now.”
Yang Xu gave a nod, then pointed over to the figure by the window. “Then, shouldn’t we do something about him?”
Yang Ji looked towards the figure and then said, “If we want to get him, then we should do it after his class ends. It would be bad if we get others involved in this.”
Yang Xu agreed. However, at this time, the Heavenly Demon Queen spoke up, “You need take no action whatsoever. That duplicitous shameless wretch will shortly be compelled by circumstance to appear before the two of you.”
“Oh? Did you do something?” Yang Ji curiously asked. It seemed like the Heavenly Demon Queen bore quite the grudge against him for framing her previously.
“A trifling matter, truly. I have introduced subtle changes to the Grand Array mantling this domain. Changes calculated to prove so insufferable for him to rectify that confrontation becomes his only viable course. So, you need not consider facing him now. He will come to you two instead.” The Heavenly Demon Queen said as matter-of-factly.
However, this further raised the question when had she made these changes? After all, she was only away from them during that single night. That would mean she had planned all this out from the very beginning, and had executed everything in that single night.
When Yang Ji realised how amazing that was, he could not help but praise. “Wow. To think you’ve seen through him so early on.”
*Hmph* The Heavenly Demon Queen gave a snort that seemed to answer back ‘of course’. However, that seemingly small smile on her small face seems to betray the aloof front she tried to showcase.
“In that case, I guess we don’t need to do anything to him right now.” Yang Ji said as he turned to Yang Xu.
Yang Xu shrugged, “I guess that’s true. We already know that he is in Sword Class 7. We can look for him whenever. As for his name, it seems like he is called Wu Lun.”
“Wu Lun? Oh?” Yang Ji used his Divine Sense and he immediately saw the characters on Wu Lun’s Identity Plate, ‘无轮’, which was hung by his waist.
“What a strange name.” Yang Ji commented.
“Indeed. But we shouldn’t do anything to him right now. Brother, then what should we do?” Yang Xu asked, as though it was natural to seek his opinion first.
“We should head back to our rooms first and try to connect Space without the Void.” Yang Ji answered almost immediately.
Yang Xu naturally immediately agreed to it. After all, she would love nothing more than to connect her room to her Brother’s. She was so eager to get started once more that she immediately teleported them back to the dormitory.
Seeing his Sister so excited, Yang Ji could only shrug and shake his head.
Following her lead, he too headed back to this room to begin cultivating once more. However, before he started, the Heavenly Demon Queen left his body.
“Where are you going?” Yang Ji could not help but ask. However, she just gave him a curt response. “Out.”
Since Yang Ji could not think of a reason to stop her, nor did he believe she would stop because he had asked her to, he just gave a nod. Then, he asked, “In that case, can you help transport my classmates back to class after it ends?”
“For what reason should your duty devolve upon my shoulders? This is manifestly a matter of your own charge and concern. I would counsel you against the unseemly practice of shirking your responsibilities by foisting them upon others.”
“Well, for one, we got into trouble because of you, because I tried to help you. I haven’t said much of it but I’m sure my Sister is resentful of the fact. Second, do you not want us to focus on our cultivation of the True Dao of Space that you’ve mentioned? Such minor tasks just take up our time and focus. Since you are going out, why not help us out a little?” Yang Ji openly said.
Seeing that all these were true, the Heavenly Demon Queen reluctantly agreed. However, instead of openly saying anything, she just left.
Still, Yang Ji could feel her answer. Maybe it was due to the special connection they bore or maybe he had just gotten used to how she communicated. Either way, he had already gotten the answer he needed as he just put in full focus in feeling out the Dao of Space.
Unfortunately, unbeknownst to him, the Heavenly Demon Queen did more than help. After she left his room, outside, she modified the Array, isolating his room from the outside world. She did not weaken it but instead strengthened it, to the point only she or the Twins could open it.
After all, since she was going out of the way to ‘help’ him, she might as well also go all the way to make sure he focuses without any distractions.
One might get the impression that she was being vindictive, but it was more so the fact that Yang Ji would truly need time to comprehend this aspect of the Dao of Space. Though not at the level of True Dao of Space, comprehending this detail would not be a simple task. Stopping everyday to send children to and from class would just be disruptive to his progress.
So, the Heavenly Demon Queen agreed to help. More than agree, she readily sought to prepare everything so that Yang Ji would not leave his room until he fully comprehended this aspect of the Dao of Space.
Naturally, that would mean her next destination would Yang Xu’s room.
Of course, after settling matters here, she still planned on accomplishing her goal, which was to visit that little girl, Yang Ling.

“Okay, class has ended.” Li Wu Yi said as the students all stood up to thank him for the lesson. However, before they did, all of them got transported out of the classroom in a ruthless manner. In fact, the only thing Li Wu Yi could hear was the immediate deafening silence of the room.
“…” Seeing this sudden change and the heavy yet familiar Space Principles warping space, he could not help but sigh.
Soon, a message was directly transmitted to him from his Token… once he read it, he could not help but sigh once more…
He truly felt like he was getting too old for this, despite him still being in his prime and not having any children of his own…
He wondered if he ever got a child, would they be as unruly as those two?
