At that moment, their bodies involuntarily tensed up. Lu Miao quickly propped herself up with her hands, attempting to stand up.

In the darkness, she accidentally stepped on something, causing her to stumble once again and fall onto Gu Shiyan. Her hands happened to land on his firm, chiseled abs.

If someone didn’t know the situation, they might have thought she was deliberately taking advantage of the opportunity to admire his abs up close.

Lu Miao couldn’t help but curse inwardly!

As she pondered the safest way to get up, she looked up and noticed a shadow hanging upside down from the ceiling directly above their bed. The eerie, pale face with vacant eyes stared back at them.

It suddenly dawned on her that their room was located at the far end of the hotel corridor, a place known for accumulating negative energy and attracting impurities.

However, thanks to the protective talismans, symbols, and her years of cultivation, these entities rarely had the audacity to approach her willingly. She had never really paid attention to such things while staying in hotels before.

Perhaps tonight was an exception due to Gu Shiyan’s unique constitution, which seemed to have drawn the attention of this entity.

Frustrated, she raised her hand and uttered a spell, instantly banishing the shadowy figure!

Gu Shiyan, who had witnessed the entire ordeal, was left dumbfounded.

Was it really that easy to get rid of it?

She was so powerful! 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘰𝘳𝘨

It seemed that he still had much to learn about his enigmatic little companion.

Getting up, he reached for the bedside switch and flooded the room with bright light. After scanning the area and confirming the absence of any such entities, he leaned down and scooped Lu Miao back up, gently placing her back on the bed.

Gu Shiyan’s countenance was akin to a work of art, perfectly composed and expressionless. Even from Lu Miao’s perspective, with the angle of her gaze, his flawless face appeared utterly impeccable.

As Lu Miao stared at his handsome face, which was now mere centimeters away from hers, her usually composed heart inexplicably started thumping a few beats faster.

She quickly averted her gaze, refusing to meet his eyes, and asked, “What are you doing standing beside my bed in the middle of the night?”

Gu Shiyan innocently responded, “I noticed your blanket had slipped off, and I thought I should cover you up.”

Lu Miao was at a loss for words. “Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it,” Gu Shiyan replied, a faint hint of a smirk tugging at his lips.

After the commotion, the two finally settled back down to sleep.

Gu Shiyan remained on the couch, raising his hand to lightly touch the spot on his cheek where Lu Miao’s lips had brushed against him. This truly had been an unexpected and exhilarating night!

Gu Shiyan got someone to clean up the house at Lingyue Manor urgently. However, all the furniture in the house had been soaked by water. The sofa, carpet, bedding, and so on needed to be replaced. It was impossible to live in it for a while.

Fortunately, Lu Miao had kept Qi Baishi’s painting after it was exposed on the live broadcast. Otherwise, it would have been truly heartbreaking.

After last night’s experience, Gu Shiyan decided not to book a hotel again. Instead, he purchased a fully furnished apartment in a nearby building and moved in with just a bag in hand.

Lu Miao called Lu Yinan to inquire about the specifics of his injuries.

Lu Yinan only mentioned that it was a minor accident and would heal in a few days, but he never mentioned how it had happened.

He refused to talk about it, and Lu Miao couldn’t press him further.

The day of the National Knowledge Competition arrived quickly.

The competition was held at Peking University.

In addition to Lu Miao, two other students from the experimental class at Zhenhai High School were also participating.

This time, Principal Xu personally led the team. Instead of going to Gu Ziheng’s place, Lu Miao and the team checked into a hotel near the school.

After settling in, the principal took them to visit Peking University.

As one of the top universities in China, it was renowned for its educational resources and environment, among other aspects.

As they walked by the shore of Weiming Lake, Xia Ziyuan, a student from the experimental class, curiously looked at Principal Xu and asked, “Principal Xu, I heard there’s a mysterious legend about Weiming Lake. It is said that the lake is an ocean, and a poet resides at its depths. Are these rumors true? You graduated from Peking University, so can you confirm if this legend is true?” Xu Chengfeng also looked over curiously.

Principal Xu smiled mysteriously, “There has always been a saying at Peking University that at midnight on a full moon, if someone comes to Weiming Lake and performs three sincere bows towards the center of the lake, they might be fortunate enough to encounter the poet residing there. This person can make any request, and it will be granted.”

Xia Ziyuan blinked in surprise.” Has anyone seen the poet before?”

“It is said that since the establishment of Peking University until now, only three individuals have encountered the poet. The first one, known for being playful and not studying seriously, requested to pass exams without failing. The second one wished to become a billionaire. And the last one asked to become a teacher at Peking University after graduation.”

Principal Xu deliberately paused. When Xia Ziyuan and Xu Chengfeng could not help but ask who these three people were, he opened his mouth mysteriously.

After Xia Ziyuan and Xu Chengfeng heard this, they couldn’t help but gasp.

The first person was a renowned deceased professor, the second was one of the wealthiest individuals in the country, and the last one was the current president of Peking University!

“If you want to verify the legend, you could study hard, get admitted to Peking University, and then ask the president personally or find the poet yourself,” Xu suggested, looking at Xia Ziyuan and Xu Chengfeng, who were now burning with determination.

Then, he met Lu Miao’s eyes that had seen through everything and laughed awkwardly.

“Let me take you to familiarize yourselves with the competition venue for tomorrow.”

As a Peking University graduate, Principal Xu effortlessly led them to the examination hall.

Apart from them, students from other schools participating in the competition had also arrived.

Principal Xu was like a social butterfly as he brought Lu Miao and the others forward to greet them.

“Old Xu, is this the legendary genius Lu Miao?”A principal from the neighboring city asked enviously.

When the surrounding principals heard this name, they all surrounded him.

Principal Xu smiled and said humbly, “You flatter her. She’s just a bit more hardworking than ordinary students.”

However, his face was full of pride. He wished he could use a megaphone to properly promote their school’s treasure to everyone.

Lu Miao was helpless and stood aside obediently, pretending to be a good student.

The examination hall was very lively.

“Siyu?” Xia Ziyuan suddenly shouted in surprise.

Lu Miao turned her head and saw Lu Siyu and two other students walking in behind a middle-aged man.

The man walked straight to Principal Xu and greeted everyone with a smile. “Old Li, quickly introduce the geniuses in your school.”The people around him laughed and teased.

Principal Li said proudly,” This is Lu Siyu. She performed very well in all the tests in our school. She skipped a grade from Year One to Year Two last week..”
