The heavily hooded man slowly lifted the hood away from her face and that was when they confirmed it was indeed not a man, but instead a beautiful lady.Mu Lingxi was just as surprised as Fan Lei when they saw that the other party was really Mu Yanxiao.
They obviously did not expect to meet Mu Yanxiao along the way.
But unlike Fan Lei, she did not allow it to show in her face. Instead, she remained nonchalant and kept her stone-cold expression.
From the current looks of it, this was not just a simple coincidence. Her white lotus cousin clearly waited for her arrival.
And for whatever reason she had in mind for doing that, there was only one thing that Mu Lingxi was certain about.
The other party was clearly up to no good.
"Fan Lei, you can go first. I just need to have a few words with Lady Yanxiao."
Since his senior Yuan Tao asked to meet both him and his friend Su Yan (Mu Lingxi), it was only normal that the two young warlocks were walking together that night going to the same place.
That was why Fan Lei was also there when Mu Yanxiao suddenly showed up.
Since there was highly likely a chance that her cousin was up to something, Mu Lingxi already decided to asked Fan Lei to go first without her.
So as to avoid unnecessary trouble for herself.
"Alright, I"ll go first. I will leave you two behind so you could talk in private. But don"t be late okay?"
Fan Lei reminded before he hesitantly left the two.
When Fan Lei saw who the other party really was, he was intrigued.
After all, this was not the first time that the two would be meeting in private in the middle of the night?
Just what exactly was their relationship??
But as much as he wanted to know what could be their reason for meeting each other in secret in the middle of the night, he knew that he had no right to ask about it.
Or at least not at that moment yet.
So left with no choice Fan Lei decided to reign over his curiosity and head at their meeting place first without Su Yan.
Besides, it was not as if Fan Lei was someone who would easily allow his curiosity to get the better of him especially when it concerns such trivial things.
As long as it did not have anything to do with his studies, he might as well not get himself involved in any of it.
"What do you need???"
Mu Lingxi hissed under her breath as soon as Fan Lei walked away.
But Mu Yanxiao only gave her a smile as a reply which only crept Mu Lingxi even more.
Not because the smile did not suit her cousin, in fact, it was the contrary.
But it was the fact that it was Mu Yanxiao who was smiling at her. That was what made it creepy. Because it was all obvious for all eyes to see that her smile was all fake.
There was simply no shred of sincerity coming from that smile despite how beautiful it was.
This cousin of hers was indeed a rare beauty. The kind of face that could easily cause the downfall of a nation.
As much as she hated to admit it, MU Lingxi knew that there was no point denying that with that kind of face that Mu Yanxiao has, she could easily stand out wherever she goes.
That was why it was no wonder that she was dubbed as one of the school belles even though it was just her first year in the Magus Academia.
For some unknown reason, there was this certain quality in Mu Yanxiao that made her blend perfectly wherever she was.
In fact, even at that night, Mu Yanxiao still looked stunning with her oversized robe.
The cold breeze of the night blew on her cheeks as she removed the hood that hid her face.
Mu Yanxiao tucked her hair at the back of her ears but the wind continued to blow on her and made her long jet black hair flutter in the night draft.
Nevertheless, it still created a beautiful picture.
She looked like an ethereal fairy that came straight out from a painting.
"Where are you headed to at this time of the night, my lovely cousin??"
Mu Yanxiao asked in a sweet tone as if it was very normal for her to ask that.
Half of his body was silhouetted by the shadow of a nearby tree
But despite the lack of lighting to fully show her comely feature, the moonlight was all enough to serve as a perfect backdraft to highlight Mu Yanxiao"s grace amidst the darkness.
Everything around her only made her look more like a G.o.ddess that descended on the land to grace it with her presence.
If G.o.d truly existed, then it could be said that Mu Yanxiao was one of his finest creations.
She was simply a work of art.
Such a shame though, that such a beautiful face was only wasted to a white lotus, like her.
"Be careful, Mu Yanxiao! Lower your voice! What if someone managed to overheard you??!!!"
Mu Lingixi gnashed in gritted teeth as she pulled Mu Yanxiao a little farther away in the opposite direction.
Then she looked around them to make sure that no one was around anymore."
"What was all of this for???!"
Mu Lingxi asked again with an obvious annoyance on her voice, but not before looking back again at Fan Lei"s departing figure, making sure that the party was already out of earshot.
"Relax, Lingxi. I brought you good news. Why don"t we savor the moment first???"
Mu Yanxiao suggested, and it was clear that she was really having a good time p.i.s.sing Mu Lingxi off.
