"Not interested." Without sparing him another glance, Yuanen left for the dormitory, footsteps trailing behind him.

"You!" Yue Zhengyu cut himself short before he boiled over. Somehow, he had the sense of mind to understand his place; it wouldn't do for him to erupt here. Chest heaving, he huffed, "You're hiding an evil soul master. It wouldn't be in your best interests to cover for her."
