Academy City, Outer Ring District, 9 Xiangxie Avenue

Motan slowly walked out of the bedroom and headed straight to the bar he had specially prepared during his last stay in Academy City. He silently mixed himself a drink that had a strong flavor but almost zero alcohol content and drank it all in one go.

"Sir!"

Colton stood up immediately from in front of the fireplace, his face pale as he looked at Motan, "Miss Lizi, she..."

"She’s fine, although she had a little... heh, a big problem just like you, but I’ve already calmed her down, it’s not a big issue."

Motan raised his hand to interrupt Colton before he could finish speaking, then took a bottle of soda from his bag and tossed it to Colton. "Drink something to calm down, and meanwhile organize your thoughts to see if you can walk out of the ’misunderstanding’ yourself; don’t speak, don’t disturb me."

Although there was a curve at the corner of his mouth, and his actions could be considered ’caring,’ both his voice and emotions were extremely cold. Those always mysterious eyes were filled with gloom.

Subconsciously catching the soda thrown at him, Cole Shuren, who had never seen his master like this, nodded silently, quietly uncapping the bottle, and obediently took small sips of the drink in his hand while trying hard to find the discord in the day he just went through.

In the words of his master, he seemed to have fallen into some sort of ’misunderstanding,’ and Lijie Te · Xueyi, who had been living with him all this time, encountered the same issue.

But... where exactly is the problem?

His still rather handsome but extremely pale face was highlighted by the flickering firelight; the young man, trusted yet who had messed up everything, subconsciously held his forehead, plunged into deep thought.

He was very intelligent, even though Motan often said things like he lacked perspective and far-reaching vision compared to Little Ai, the fact that Cole Shuren was intelligent was undeniable.

Cole knew this well, so if nothing unexpected happened, he should be able to easily find out where the issue was. After all, from Motan’s attitude, it seemed to be something obvious and easy to notice.

But in truth, no matter how hard he thought, he couldn’t discover the clue.

The sense of discord was completely absent.

The so-called ’misunderstanding’ left Cole utterly confused.

Encountering problems and making mistakes is not really something to be afraid of.

At least not when Motan doesn’t investigate deeply. After all, Cole was very clear in his self-awareness, and never believed that he could calmly handle every situation as Motan did and steer things in the direction he hoped for with ease.

He could not become someone like Motan.

Nor could he become someone like Little Ai.

But right now, something occurred to him that even Motan found troubling.

[No matter what, I have to find a way to reduce the burden on Motan...]

Clenching his fists tightly, Cole Shuren secretly made up his mind and then began to retrace his experiences from the day, for what might be the umpteenth time.

The results... were minimal.

Following his master’s orders, he woke up early to sort through the information about ’Mor,’ working hard to portray a person he hadn’t even met.

Adding to that the management of interpersonal relationships, practice of speaking style, digestion of otherworldly knowledge, and related matters, Cole’s life rhythm during this period could be described as very fulfilling and compact.

Today was examination day.

Not long after waking up, having completed ninety percent of his disguise, he received the ’Hundred Forms’ sent by his master, completing his initial preparations.

Miss Lizi also received items, but they were flowers and pocket money, leaving her in a good mood. Not long after, she went out shopping.

Then followed a series of rehearsals that didn’t need to be deliberately mentioned. Perhaps because of the excessive concentration, time passed very quickly.

Although not prepared to the fullest, and never could be, Cole was still confident in himself, or rather, he was full of confidence in the master who believed in him.

Since he was asked to do it, that meant there was a possibility he could complete the task.

On this premise, as long as he did the best he could, he would succeed!

Affirming his efforts during this period, Cole waited for the ’test’ to come.

He had to try his best to complete the task.

He cheered himself up.

During the wait, Miss Lizi returned at some point, and after a brief greeting went back to her bedroom. Judging by the goods piled on the living room table, she seemed to have had quite the haul.

After that, Motan came back.

This was the entirety of Cole Shuren’s day.

There was absolutely nothing out of place.

How could there be anything wrong?

But... Motan wouldn’t be wrong.

So, he must have missed or overlooked something.

[What is it, exactly?]

Cole Shuren unconsciously tapped his forehead, his eyes filled with bewilderment.

On the other side, leaning against the bar, Motan’s expression grew increasingly grim.

Irritation—

This emotion, which almost never appeared on the character ’Tan Mo,’ currently consumed him almost entirely.

The situation was out of control.

Things were getting serious.

Damn it, I screwed up.

Motan let out a small breath and downed the drink in his hand, whose taste was infinitely close to that of ’Life Water’ but whose alcohol content was about the same as plain boiled water, cursing under his breath.
