That night was the most peaceful Mu Chen and Mu Bingling had known. Coincidentally, no one came to disturb them. The night was still and silent, but in the basement of the Imperial Academy's Library Pavilion, Elder Mu was looking drowsy.
He sneezed and muttered to himself, "This is so boring. Why isn't this little girl awake yet? Her bodily functions have clearly recovered. Oh, right... I'm not concealing myself at all right now. If she wakes up, won't my identity be completely exposed? Ugh... It'll be exposed sooner or later anyway. Forget it. I'll just wait."
Ten minutes later, Elder Mu picked up a nearby book, glanced at it, and muttered, "Half a month has passed, and those people from the Celestial Eagle Empire are taking their sweet time. I remember there was one of them outside when I cast the barrier. He should have relayed the message by now. Or could it be that those fellows are still caught up dealing with other powers?"
