"Ugh, alright then." Li ngjie stuck out her tongue, with a weird look on her face, and said, "Aunt Ren, here’s what happened..." Right then, with her face blushing, she recounted how Leng Xuan had run to the rooftop early in the morning the day before yesterday before dawn, stripping down to his bare skin, and she continued, "This morning, after Xue Jiu and I got up, we found that Cold Bodyguard’s room door was still closed. So, we went to knock on the door, but no one ca out to open it for a long ti, and we didn’t hear Cold Bodyguard’s voice. He didn’t answer his phone either. So, we found it strange. Later, we went around to the back of the villa and looked in through the window, only to discover he wasn’t in the room, but the window was open. So, Xue Jiu and I guessed that Cold Bodyguard might have been sleepwalking again..."
"Sleepwalking?" Mada Ren felt displeased, wondering if it was genuinely sleepwalking or if he was pretending to sleepwalk to take liberties with her daughter. As she spoke, she exchanged a glance with her husband.
Ling Ao, of course, understood his wife’s thoughts, pondered for a mont, and asked, "Xue’er, are you sure Leng Xuan was sleepwalking?"
Ling Xuejiu had not expected Li ngjie to tell everything, including the part about Leng Xuan taking off his clothes on the rooftop, and was quite irritated. Seeing her parents looking at her with a hint of bemusent, her face turned red, and she stamred, "It... It should be, right? Otherwise, why would he do such strange things?"
Mada Ren couldn’t help saying, "Who knows if he’s doing it on purpose?"
Old Master furrowed his brow, glanced at Mada Ren, and said, "Fang Hua, you can’t make wild guesses before we get to the bottom of this."
Mada Ren wanted to say more but held back. It was then that Leng Xuan ca out of the room and was sowhat taken aback to see Old Master and his parents, saying, "Old Master, Mr. Ling, Mada Ren, you’re here."
Old Master and Ling Ao both nodded with a smile, but Mada Ren looked sowhat displeased, managing only a forced smile, "Leng Xuan, we heard you had disappeared, so we ca to check on you. Seeing you’re safe and sound is a relief to us, but... Xue’er says you’ve developed sleepwalking, is that true?"
Leng Xuan touched his nose out of habit, not expecting that the Old Master’s family had all co for his sake, indicating his significance, but explaining his disappearance and sleepwalking proved to be quite difficult. He gave a wry smile and then turned to Old Master Ling, saying, "Old Master, may I have a word with you alone?"
Old Master had already noticed the difficulty on Leng Xuan’s face and nodded slightly, standing up with a smile, "Alright, let’s go into the room and talk."
Mada Ren felt a bit displeased by the fact Leng Xuan had not answered her question but didn’t show it on her face.
"Xue Jiu, what do you think Cold Bodyguard wants to talk about with Grandpa Ling alone, and why can’t it be in front of us?" Li ngjie asked with a hint of curiosity.
Ling Xuejiu replied sowhat gloomily, "How would I know, I’m not the worm in his stomach, am I?"
"..."
In the room, Leng Xuan didn’t wait for Old Master to ask before he explained about the new spell he had recently acquired. He had gone to the rooftop to cultivate early the day before yesterday, and Ling Xuejiu and Li ngjie discovered him by chance. Out of necessity, he had to go up to Li ngjie’s rooftop to continue his cultivation this morning. He had been engrossed in a critical stage of his training which made him lose track of ti, leading the two young ladies to mistakenly believe he had disappeared. He told Old Master everything in detail.
