The Path Ahead

Xiao Lin, who quietly returned to the dormitory, did not realize that he had caused another uproar in the school. After all, the training hall incident could not be covered up, especially when freshmen who returned from there quickly spread news on the forum. The amount of people paying attention to Xiao Lin increased even more.

Unfortunately, Song Junlang and the president—the only two people who knew the truth of the matter—chose to remain silent. Even sophomore year leader Chen Yu pretended not to know anything about it despite having some knowledge of what transpired.

With the deliberate cover-up from many individuals, the news dissipated quickly even though it threatened to kick up a storm. Except for the occasional private discussion, the incident began fading away from people's memories amidst their confusion and incomprehension.
