Go back? There's no going back.

Although she hadn't seen the details of the incident yet, the girl's face inadvertently became a little proud when she answered: "The fact that it was sold to this extent, in addition to the fact that the Princess of Saintton aroused public resentment at the venue, I think it should also be due to the fact that the child really performed very well..."
"...Yes, I think so too."
Hearing this, Celsia blinked and also expressed affirmation.
At this moment, the exciting opening in the projection ended, and the two people sitting on the sofa suddenly became quiet, their eyes looking forward at the same time.
"Well, shall we get started?"
"Well, let's get started."
As the projected image fell into a brief darkness, two calm voices, one male and one female, were heard from it, and the entire image suddenly became bright!
Looking at Su Wei who had already stepped onto the stage and stood opposite Princess Sainton, Celsia subconsciously held her breath.
Although she already knew the result, she still felt inexplicably nervous when looking at the photos.
She was also a little curious, looking forward to how Su Wei, who had just practiced for such a short period of time, would defeat the almost strongest opponent of the same level.
But soon, when she saw the Princess of Sainton suddenly pull out a quasi-holy weapon and shatter the scarlet vortex with one sword, her face froze.
Afterwards, when she saw that Su Wei did not give up on the spot when faced with a quasi-sacred weapon that could cut hundreds of second-level practitioners in half with one sword, but instead took the initiative to find an opportunity to approach his opponent, the expression on Celsia's face became increasingly stiff.
At this moment, the maid beside her had almost the same reaction as Celsia.
The main hall of the entire palace suddenly became quiet.
The only sound left was the roar of the magic gun exploding in the projection.
She was completely silent, staring at the scene where Princess Sainton's last sword was missed. Su Wei was so "high-spirited" that Celsia almost had a green face when she saw the end.
A somewhat cold thought suddenly emerged in her mind.
This ignorant kid, does he... think he's so powerful?
Fortunately, the two opponents after Princess Sainton were relatively normal.
There was no hard fight.
She just sat on the sofa until the image on the projector finished playing. Then Celsia slowly exhaled a breath and raised her hand to smooth the hair hanging on her forehead.
"Tomorrow... seems to be the resurrection match?"
Suddenly, she turned her head and looked at the maid beside her: "This kid... this child, it seems that he doesn't need to participate?"
"……Um."
Elsie, who had also become expressionless, nodded slightly when she heard this and said, "Candidates who have entered the main competition do not need to participate."
"……Yeah."
Hearing this, Celia was silent for a moment, and finally moved her lips with a fake smile: "But, I think it is necessary to go there earlier and meet him."
"Ah."
Hearing this, Elsie nodded expressionlessly: "Indeed, this child...has changed a lot."
A few moments.
After turning off the assessment projection that she had thought she would have to watch several times, Celsia slowly stood up and went straight back to her room.
Lying on the soft bed, the empire's first princess' mind once again reappeared the smug reaction of a certain kid in the projection just now.
——Speaking of which, what is that ignorant kid doing now?
Perhaps because of a nameless anger, this thought suddenly popped up in Celsia's mind.
Although she had contacted him without checking the time after finishing her work and disturbed him, now... he should be asleep, right?
Could it be that he is staying up late again doing something bad?
Just as Celsia was thinking of this, it suddenly started raining outside the window.
pat, pat.
The sound of the remaining water dripped through the window that was not completely closed and reached the ears of the first princess clearly.
Come to think of it, that little kid seemed to like rainy days like this the most?
As if she had come across a useful excuse, Celia instinctively took the communicator on the bedside cabinet and was about to dial.
But, glancing at the time which was getting later and later, her fingertips paused in mid-air and then retracted little by little.
Finally, after a long silence, Celsia put the communicator back on the cabinet, turned around, clenched the pillow with both hands a little harder, and buried her face in the pillow silently.
Water splashed down the window sill.
The bedroom in the entire palace became quiet again, with only the increasingly loud sound of rain remaining.
Snap, snap!
"hiss……"
Su Wei clenched his hands, his pupils somewhat dilated as he looked at the ceiling that had become somewhat familiar.
The reason why he said the ceiling of the room he had just moved into was familiar was naturally because he had looked up at the sky for the fifth time in just a few hours.
Perhaps it was because of the previous two incidents that added fuel to the fire, but after being busy until now, Su Wei gradually showed signs of calming down.
"Feel sorry."
His whole body was tense, he was gasping for air, he adjusted his disordered breathing, and looked down: "Are you... okay?"
At this moment, in Su Wei's view, the situation of the nun was not optimistic.
Although she hadn't done anything dangerous, she now looked even more embarrassed than before.
Looking at this scene, Su Wei also understood.
After all, even if he tried hard to stay like a wooden man, maintaining one position without moving for several hours, and was even constantly disturbed by external factors in the middle, he would definitely not be much better.
"..."
At this moment, the nun seemed to finally come to her senses.
The corner of her lip had been bitten at some point, and she reluctantly turned her head to look at Su Wei behind her.
Even though she had become so embarrassed because of Su Wei, there was still no sign of complaint on the girl's face.
"Really...he's a mature boy now..."
She just looked at him absentmindedly, her eyes were gentle, yet mixed with some indescribable complexity.
"Did you bring any other clothes?"
Facing this gaze, Su Wei was silent for a moment, as if he noticed something, and suddenly asked this with some uncertainty.
After all, with everything blocked by the hem of her skirt, no matter how she thought about it, it would not be suitable for the nun to go out in this outfit tomorrow.
"..."
Hearing Su Wei's question, Manqisi was slightly startled, then shook her head gently.
"It's okay, don't worry..."
However, she quickly gave Su Wei a tired smile and replied softly: "Although it looks a little exaggerated, just wash it with water and dry it again...it should be fine."
"No, that shouldn't be possible."
Hearing this, Su Wei was stunned. Although he knew what was going on, he did not think this was a good idea.
The nun's clothes... don't look like they will last long.
He felt that if it was simply cleaned, even if it was dried, it would probably leave obvious marks.
"It's okay. Tomorrow... I'll use some illusions to disguise myself. That should be enough."
She let out a small breath, as if wanting to reassure Su Wei, and her eyes looked at him more tenderly.
“…Is that so? I understand.”
Hearing this, Su Wei stopped talking.
After a moment, looking at the nun who was still motionless in front of him, he realized something and quickly took a few steps back.
But, at this moment, he who had just let go of the latter's wrist was stopped by the other party instead.
"Stay with me like this for a while."
Her golden hair wet with sweat stuck to her forehead, she hugged the pillow with both hands, stared at him and asked quietly.
"……it is good."
Hearing this, Su Wei was silent for a moment and did not leave.
A few minutes later.
Just as Su Wei's face darkened slightly and he vaguely felt that those strange thoughts were about to come back again, the nun gently let him go.
His eyes swept across the slender legs that were gradually losing strength, Su Wei took two steps back, turned and walked to the side.
However, just when Su Wei came back with the handkerchief, the nun who had turned around took it first and carefully tidied it for him.
"Well, I can do it myself."
However, after saying this, Su Wei did not receive any response.
There was still a faint blush on that beautiful face. As if she didn't hear anything, the nun just tidied herself up more carefully.
"..."
Seeing this, Su Wei hesitated for a moment and then turned to help the other party tidy up.
At this moment, the whole scene in the room became a little strange.
Some time passed.
After finishing the general arrangement and confirming that there were no obvious omissions, they both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Perhaps reason finally took over again, but after everything was over, both Su Wei and the nun finally realized what they had just done and fell silent.
Even...both of them subconsciously avoided looking at each other's faces.
Next, the nun searched around the room and found a few basins, and she was visibly relieved.
She pursed her lips, walked to the sink in the corner to get some water, and then silently changed out of her nun's uniform.
Noticing this scene, Su Wei subconsciously widened his eyes at first, but soon came to his senses and immediately turned his gaze away.
Later, after roughly scrubbing the clothes and soaking them in water again, the nun returned to the bedroom, got into the quilt, and wrapped herself up like a little dumpling.
Looking at this scene, Su Wei felt a little subtle.
She had dared to do such a bold thing before, but now, just by changing out of her nun's uniform, this nun became flustered in front of him.
But not long after, under Su Wei's gaze, the nun poked her head out of the quilt again, and looked at Su Wei cautiously with eyes mixed with some doubts.
Those misty blue eyes blinked gently, as if asking him why he didn't rest yet.
"...I won't sleep yet."
After meeting the nun's gaze, Su Wei was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head vigorously.
This nun may not be aware of her own charm, but as someone who has experienced it firsthand, she knows it well.
There was no doubt that if he continued to stay in this room tonight, he would not be able to sleep.
As a participant in the main competition, theoretically he doesn't need to get up early tomorrow morning, let alone participate in any revival match.
But, unlike him, a certain nun who was responsible for granting the imperial spirit protection to the examinees in the morning needed a good rest.
"You... just rest here today."
Thinking of this, Su Wei took a deep breath and sorted out his clothes again.
After confirming that there didn't seem to be any strange marks on his body, he turned around and was about to walk out of the bedroom.
"Um, where are you going?"
Looking at this scene, the nun who was curled up in the quilt pursed her lips and tilted her head in confusion: "You... really don't want to rest?"
"I can't sleep right now...I'm going to the training ground to train first."
Hearing this, Su Wei waved his hand naturally, then glanced at the latter with a subtle expression and reminded him, "I tend to forget myself when I practice, and I'm not sure when I'll be back. You still have work to do tomorrow, so don't oversleep."
After leaving this reminder, Su Wei, who had already walked into the living room, was about to go straight to the entrance.
But at this moment, the corner of his eye swept across something on the sofa next to him, and he paused slightly.
