time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some recognized Yu Jin, some recognized Yin Yao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since no one noticed them step out of the void, people were curious and puzzled, but nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"President Yu and Senior Sister Yin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haven’t seen them around for two months, thought they’d traveled across

received a helmet, and crossed over that same day...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin sat on a bench beside the shaded path, frowning in

it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carol’s communication ways were highly limited; she could only process applications, but couldn’t pass on much
