Lin Duan's appearance didn't cause much of an emotional stir in Ye Tianchen. On the contrary, Ye Tianchen actually took a liking to this straightforward guy. At least Lin Duan was upfront and honorable, directly requesting a duel with Ye Tianchen in hopes of using the opportunity to bolster the reputation of his Tianlin Law Firm.
Since he was free anyway, and Ye Tianchen didn't enjoy attending classes—which felt worse than imprisonment—he agreed to Lin Duan's proposal. However, just as Ye Tianchen and Lin Duan were about to leave the large Archaeology classroom, Qin Yaoyue blocked their way.
"Where do you two think you're going? Don't you know it's class time?" Qin Yaoyue asked seriously, as she looked at Ye Tianchen.
"I... we have something urgent to attend to and need to step out for a moment," Lin Duan stammered.
