After overhearing their conversation last night, Yoshua Brave certainly knew they had actually come looking for him. But some people just have to act reserved—what people commonly call “pretending to be cool.” Don’t celebrities always arrive later than everyone else at special occasions? Although Yoshua Brave wasn’t a celebrity, he still wanted to enjoy that feeling of putting on airs.
So he wrapped an arm around Lan Ya and said,
“Father-in-law, your humble son-in-law will take Lan Ya and Qiqi to the academy first.”
After speaking, he pulled along Lan Qi—who insisted on seeing the Red Archbishop—and headed toward the side gate. Yet his spiritual sense remained locked on the Red Archbishop. Lan Ya could tell Yoshua was a bit distracted. She found it strange, but didn’t say anything.
