"..."

Lin Qiu couldn't help but roll her eyes, but still walked to the side and closed the window.

"How did you find out?"

"I'm quite sensitive to magic, so even though you were very fast back then, I was still able to detect it."

Ye Ziyu shrugged and sat down on the bed without any hesitation, her eyes scanning the textbooks lying to the side with great interest.

This guy is incredibly fast; he even managed to bring his textbooks along without even realizing it.

Are you planning to study all night tonight?

"Pretty much. After all, I have an exam tomorrow. My grades have been pretty bad in the last few exams, and I've already taken such a long leave of absence. If I fail again, I feel like I might get torn apart by my homeroom teacher."

Thinking of this, Lin Qiu's face turned pale.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ziyu clicked her tongue thoughtfully and tentatively made a suggestion—

"How about I teach you?"

"..."

Lin Qiu fell silent, staring blankly at Ye Ziyu.

Master Ye, aren't you a martial arts teacher? How come you're also teaching humanities subjects on the side?!

373. Rumors began to circulate upstairs, while a fierce fight broke out downstairs.

"Is that all the character's inner thoughts are? What did he do that caused his guilt, and what are his life lessons?"

"Is it possible that when he saw this scene, he didn't think about it at all?"

"Nonsense, everyone knows this guy didn't think that much about it. He's just deliberately making things difficult for the test setter. He'll just have to write more."

Ye Ziyu glared at Lin Qiu impatiently and urged, "Just make sure you can pass the exam."

Lin Qiu smacked his lips, but still obediently watched as he filled in the answers.

The most important thing right now is to pass tomorrow's exam; I can't worry about anything else.

Seeing the densely packed writing on the guy's face, Ye Ziyu nodded in satisfaction.

Although the answers weren't entirely correct, at least some of them were on point, and the progress was a bit faster than I expected.

However, as Lin Qiu continued, her blood pressure quickly rose...

Meanwhile, Lin Qiu's clone started scribbling and drawing randomly without his own control, even drawing a bird in Ze Zhi's bewildered gaze.

This guy...could he have given up on himself?!

Zezhi glanced at the bird subconsciously, and couldn't help but frown.

This drawing is terrible! It's not as good as my own drawing.

As Zezhi muttered to herself, her body instinctively drew a bird as well, and she even thoughtfully added a lot of decorations.

Zezhi froze on the spot when a hand suddenly grabbed the back of her neck.

"I was only gone for a short while, and you've been having quite a bit of fun creating art."

Sakuma looked down at the trembling Sawaori with a blank expression, gradually increasing the pressure on her hand, causing Sawaori to wince in pain.

"Relax, just relax for a bit!!"

"Wow - relaxed but scribbling all over the exam paper? And right in the answer section!"

"I said it was an accident... would you believe me? Ouch—ouch, ouch, ouch! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll get back to my homework!"

Feeling the sudden pain, Zezhi almost cried out in pain, and looked down with a pitiful expression as she wiped away her masterpiece.

As her gaze unconsciously drifted towards Lin Qiu, she suddenly noticed that a blue light, resembling fragments, was inexplicably emanating from his body.

Now, Zezhi finally realized what was happening.

"Fake?!"

"Huh? What fake... clone?!"

Sakikuma then noticed Lin Qiu gradually disappearing, and she was completely dismayed.

This bastard has been using clones to fool people the whole time? Yunmo and Chen Xiao have been fighting all the way to the living room!

"Listen carefully, don't talk about this. If Yunmo and Lao Chen ask, just say he went to the bathroom and doesn't know anything else!"

Sakikuma gave a decisive warning: if they found out that they were fighting over a fake body, they would probably go crazy.

For the sake of family harmony, this matter must not be made public!

Zezhi nodded understandingly, then fixed her gaze on the third person in the room—Neko-Wuru.

Sensing those two malicious gazes, Cat Witch's cat ears perked up instantly.

"I don't know anything, don't kill me!"

"What are you thinking? We're just getting our stories straight so we don't give ourselves away."

"Really? You're not going to wait until I agree, then kill me when I'm not looking, are you?"

"Where did you get such a severe case of persecution complex...?"

Looking at the extremely nervous Cat Witch, the two couldn't help but roll their eyes. They had been together for a while, so why couldn't they trust each other?

Cat Witch stared intently at the two, and only after confirming that they had no intention of killing her did she breathe a slight sigh of relief.

Before they could say anything more, Cat Witch Lu's figure swayed slightly and then vanished from the spot in an instant.

This place is not safe to stay for long!

But when she reappeared, she suddenly fell onto the soft bed with a thud, even making Ye Ziyu, who was sitting on it, jump up.

"Huh? Why are you here?"

Looking at the cat witch who was a little dazed from the fall, Ye Ziyu asked in surprise.

"I... I'm just passing by!"

Cat Witch noticed Lin Qiu doing his homework nearby, and her eyelids twitched violently. She explained somewhat guiltily.

I don't want to get involved in a situation where something bad could happen at any moment!

Lin Qiu glanced at her indifferently upon hearing this, but didn't pay much attention and continued working on her homework.

On the contrary, Ye Ziyu looked at the little guy with a gradually strange expression.

If I'm not mistaken, this place will be exposed soon!

"Alright, Lin Qiu, go back to your original room and write. If you stay here any longer, you might get beaten up. Come back when it's safer."

Ye Ziyu greeted him, which immediately drew a bewildered look from Lin Qiu.

Why are you leaving when you were writing it so well?

However, Ye Ziyu clearly had no intention of explaining, and her gaze immediately fixed on the cat witch Lu, who was trying to slip away—

"Wu Lu, you should stay here with me to avoid revealing anything unpleasant."

Something not so good?

Cat Witch was slightly taken aback. She subconsciously glanced around the room, and when she looked at the lone man and woman and the bed, her eyes suddenly sharpened.

Were you secretly taking extra lessons instead of doing other things?!

Seeing the little one's face changing wildly, Ye Ziyu was stunned for a moment, but didn't ask any questions. She simply reached out and grabbed her from a distance.

Before she could even struggle, a bag of potato chips was shoved into her arms.

A few seconds later——

Cat Witch chose to lie down...

Seeing how Ye Ziyu quickly subdued the little guy, Lin Qiu couldn't help but smile, and then picked up his homework and left.

Just as he stepped out, a series of clanging and banging sounds of fighting came from the living room.

Lin Qiu curiously peeked over and saw Yun Mo and Chen Xiao wrestling and rolling around on the ground, completely lacking any semblance of decorum.

Although the two were quite restrained in their actions, they still frantically pulled at each other's clothes, and the sight of their white clothes made Lin Qiu's eyes widen.

"Qin Yunmo, don't go too far! I was clearly here first, you thief, at least have some self-awareness!"

"You were here first? Weren't you the first one to quit? We haven't been in touch for so many years, and you still have the nerve to try and steal it?!"

"I had no choice at the time! It was all so sudden, I didn't even have time to get their contact information, what could I do?!"

"Since you're already out of the game, you should just accept your defeat and be a loser. This isn't your turn at all!"

"Since you're not married yet, there's always the possibility that you'll leave. Don't jump to conclusions so quickly!"

Neither of them showed any intention of giving in; instead, they glared at each other, their eyes reddening...

374. The gradually deteriorating family relationships

"Hello? Mom, I need your help with something."

"what happened?"

Hearing her son's call, Ye Qianhe, who was happily enjoying a foot massage, asked with some confusion.

You even had a video chat during the day, and you're already missing your parents again?

"That's right, Yunmo and Lao Chen got into a fight, and they're really arguing in the living room."

"They've started fighting?!"

Ye Qianhe, who had been leisurely, suddenly straightened up, his face full of seriousness.

This is a big problem! A fire in the backyard is a serious threat to family harmony!

"Wait a minute, switch to video chat and let me see."

"Why do you sound so smug and amused...?"

"hurry up!"

Ye Qianhe urged him on, and Lin Qiu muttered as he switched to video mode.

Without any delay, he pointed his phone's camera towards the living room.

But when he saw the scene in the living room, his eyelids twitched violently.

The two who had been fiercely bickering were now sitting peacefully on the sofa, sipping their freshly brewed tea with harmonious smiles on their faces.

Other areas that had been somewhat messy were quickly tidied up, and even the clothes themselves showed little sign of wrinkles.

It was as if the two of them had never had any conflict at all!

What the hell? !

"Everything's fine now!"

Ye Qianhe muttered in confusion, "Is Lin Qiu here to show off how well he's built his harem?"

Did this guy brag to the wrong person?

No, that's not right either. If I were looking for Lao Lin, I might accidentally kill him.

"But just now it was clearly..."

"Oh well, as long as nothing's wrong, that's fine. Look, these two are getting along just fine, so let's not think about anything else."

"That's it. Your mom is still getting a foot massage. If you're free, get some exercise. We'd love to have a grandson soon."

"Dududu-"

Ye Qianhe quickly hung up the phone, leaving Lin Qiu staring blankly at his phone.

Mom, if you hang up this video, those two might reload their save and continue fighting at any time!

As Lin Qiu's gaze trembled slightly as she looked at the two women, their eyes were already fixed on her.

Slightly embarrassed, Lin Qiu scratched his face and tentatively asked—

What were you doing just now?
