Chapter 262

"Then why didn't you say goodbye to her?"

"No need. She'll forget anyway…"

"Grandma treats you like her grandson. Her grandson vanished ten years ago… could it be connected to the Ascension Pavilion?" Lei Ting speculated.

"Yes." Lin Yu did not deny it.

Xin Yi's disappearance.

It has always been connected to the Ascension Pavilion.

"You… how can you be so certain?" Lei Ting asked.

Lin Yu turned his head and looked at her: "What do you think?"

"How would I know…" Lei Ting muttered softly.

She felt like sitting on pins and needles.

Could it be…

Is Lin Yu really Brother Yanwang?

The Brother Yanwang of the Ascension Pavilion.

But… how could that be possible?

She had never believed it.

If Lin Yu really was the Brother Yanwang of the Ascension Pavilion.

Then what right did she have to be with him?

He was the god of the entire Golden Time-Space!

Be with him 443?

Had she really begun to harbor thoughts of being with Lin Yu?

Did she… truly fall for Lin Yu?

Suddenly.

Lei Ting felt an itch on her face and neck.

Lin Yu had collapsed onto her shoulder.

"Lin… Lin Yu?"

Her heart pounded thump-thump.

Asleep?

That made sense.

He woke up too early today.

She was equally exhausted.

Soon.

Lei Ting's consciousness began to blur.

Seeing Zhong Wanjun waited anxiously on the shore.

He hadn't closed his eyes all night, fearing Lei Ting might need him.

But he had worried for nothing.

Only this morning did he receive word from Lei Ting.

But when he saw she had already boarded the return vessel,

He was overjoyed.

She was safe.

Better than anything else.

Two hours passed.

In the morning's thin mist,

A ship sailed toward the shore.

Seeing Zhong Wanjun hurried forward eagerly, hoping to see Lei Ting's figure.

Passengers disembarked one by one, yet Lei Ting was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's Lei Ting? Is this not the right ship?" He frowned and walked over.

Unexpectedly,

He saw the one sight he had spent his whole life trying to avoid.

Inside the cabin,

Lin Yu and Lei Ting slept, leaning against each other.

Seeing Zhong Wanjun was heartbroken.

Though he and Lei Ting had grown up together,

Lei Ting had never before dropped all her guard like this.

Not even him.

He had never been this close to Lei Ting.

But Lin Yu,

Could easily press against her.

And she, like a little cat,

Nestled beside Lin Yu.

This scene.

It was blindingly obvious.

"Look quick! It's King and Lin Yu!"

"Holy crap! They fell asleep right next to each other!"

"Can't say they don't look perfect together!"

"Last night, Lin Yu spent the whole night with King."

"Do you think they might have…"

"Enough! Can you all stop making wild guesses?" Seeing Zhong Wanjun's face was dark.

He was already upset and angry, and now these people kept whispering nonsense right in his ear.

It only made him more irritated.

Seeing Zhong Wanjun's face turned even darker.

The students of Ultimate Class fell silent, exchanging glances.

This gossip was getting tastier by the minute.

"On the path of love, no one escapes hurt," Hua Hua Linglong said with a faint, mocking smile at Seeing Zhong Wanjun.

"…"

"…"

Lin Yu and Lei Ting woke up to find the shore crowded with people.

Everyone's eyes were wide open.

Every pair of eyes gleamed with gossip.

Even Lin Yu, a ruthless type, had never seen such a scene.

"Lei, you've got good taste," Wang Da Dong teased.

Lei Ting shot him a glare.

"Lin Yu, you two are eight years apart!" Wang Da Dong slung an arm around Lin Yu's neck.

Lin Yu just smiled.

Given Wang Da Dong's single-minded yet loyal nature,

Ultimate Class quickly accepted him.

"Lei Ting, you…" Seeing Zhong Wanjun looked at Lei Ting, words catching in his throat.

"What's wrong?" Lei Ting asked.

"Nothing," Seeing Zhong Wanjun forced a calm expression. "As long as you're fine."

Back at Bali High, every student in the school erupted in excitement.
