Long Yue didn't say anything, but just looked thoughtfully at Ji Fengyan. He gave a light laugh. "Since brother does not blame me, I can rest easy."

Ji Fengyan did not avoid Long Yue's eyes, but gazed back at him steadily. Long Yue looked away and just as he shifted his head, Ji Fengyan suddenly glimpsed a startling sight.

Around his neck area, the vague impression of a small circle showed under the layers of clothing. That circle was pressed close to his neck and nearly undetectable.

And it was this faint impression that startled Ji Fengyan. She instinctively raised her hand and touched her own neck.

"Oh yes, it will be Grand Tutor's birthday in a few days' time. I wonder if my brother has prepared everything?" Long Yue smiled as if nothing had happened.
