Chapter 41 Interlude 1912

Thirty days later at high noon.

Xia Zhou walked down the tower's corridor, planning to spend time in the Great Alchemy Chamber and finely craft some poisons to pass the time while waiting for An Ruer.

A letter fluttered from ahead and fell into his hand.

Xia Zhou unfolded the letter and quickly scanned the content before abruptly turning and sprinting towards the castle hall.

Anxiously standing by the entrance to the spiral staircase, the moment An Ruer saw her boyfriend emerge from the door, she rushed into his arms with tears in her eyes, whimpering:

"Professor Zhuolang...uhh...didn't tell me...if my innate spell is good or bad...he only said he had to...let the academy principal evaluate it...uhh, does this mean I can't go with you..."

Xia Zhou glanced around and noticed some new students curiously watching them.

He wrapped his arm around An Ruer's waist, turned around, and opened the stone door to the staircase, pulling her inside.
