Chapter 20 - A night-hunt competition?

Sizhui was so flustered that his face reddened slightly, "…"

Jingyi smirked, "what? Are you embarrassed?"

Sizhui, "how are you so at ease, I mean we literally just confessed last night?"

Jingyi shrugged before putting his hand on the back of Sizhui's neck, pulling him closer.

Sizhui, "what're you-..."

Jingyi's lips met his. Sizhui felt the soft pair of lips brush against his, slightly biting. Sizhui heard the sound of the door knob twisting, but before he could move, the door opened. It was Lan xichen (sect leader Lan).

Sizhui fumbled to get off of Jingyi, tripping on his robe but it was already a little too late. Lan xichen moved his gaze to the floor and smiled, "oh…."

Sizhui and Jingyi looked up in disbelief that their sect leader had seen them in that position. Jingyi, "no….sect leader Lan it's not-" he was cut off by Lan xichen.

"Well just continue what you were doing later, you have to go see uncle-…no, Sir in the Lanshi."

Sizhui, "but sect leader-," Lan xichen was off. Sizhui looked back at Jingyi who was now smirking again.

Jingyi, "you heard him, we'll continue later~." He got up and changed into a new robe after washing his face, Sizhui dud the same and the two walked to the Lanshi.

As expected, Lan qiren was sitting in the front, waiting for the last batch of disciples to enter, that included Sizhui and Jingyi. Lan qiren, "is everyone seated and present?" It was more of a theoretical question but the disciples nodded as an answer.

Lan qiren, "let's begin then…."

Lan qiren, "so….as you all know, night-hunting is a very common practice in cultivation." He stroked his beard before continuing, "that is why you all will be entering a night-hunt competition, against the other four major sects' disciples."

The disciples murmured amongst themselves.

Lan qiren paused before adding, "this night-hunt will last for up to one week, during this week you will stay at a nearby inn, you will need to have roommates so if you don't choose one, Wangji will choose for you." Jingyi hadn't even noticed that Lan wangji was standing in the corner left of Lan qiren.

Lan qiren finished the announcement with, "the night-hunt will commence tomorrow, so pick your roommates and pack your bags, there will be no class today.l

The disciples whispered in delight and ran out, (not to fast of course).

Jingyi followed behind Sizhui as they walked back to their dorm, once Sizhui entered, Jingyi closed and locked the door, pinning Sizhui to the wall next to it.
