Upon arriving at Class A's Base, Ming Hao was waiting at the front door, ready to receive us.
"Welcome," he said, briefly meeting my gaze before quickly breezing over it to avoid rousing any suspicion. "Brother Long, please come in."
He welcomed Long Lu into his meeting room while the rest of our class was led inside the temple by the other Class A students, who had been informed of this 'alliance' beforehand by Ming Hao. Naturally, they, just like the rest of the Class D students, were not told the full story.
I slipped away discretely to head for the meeting room as well. The girls, who were surrounding me, noticed this, but didn't question. After all, they knew what I was going to do and that the true partnership Ming Hao had was with me, not Long Lu.
When I knocked on the door, Ming Hao's voice answered.
"Come in."
I did as told, closing the door behind me as I did so and grabbing a seat without being offered.
