It was Zhou Heng's cellphone that rang. He had bought this phone after returning from water throne.

Merlin looked at Zhou Heng who was on the phone, and then secretly placed the metal hoop into his bosom.

"Hello." Zhou Heng said goodbye to his phone, and the person who called was Qin Fen.

"What are you doing!" Qin Fen's tone was a little dissatisfied, "A Lou's program is about to begin!" Speaking of which, Zhou Heng had already left for quite some time, so even if he went to the toilet, he should have returned a long time ago.

Qin Fen's words instantly pulled Zhou Heng back into his fresh school life from the bloody storm not long ago. Only now did he remember that he had already arranged with his friends to watch the program prepared by Bai Lu.

"I have to go first." Zhou Heng hung up the phone and prepared to walk out.

"Wait!" Merlin called out to him. "You're just going to leave?"

Zhou Heng nodded, he was already standing on the stairs.

"Don't you feel anything here?" Merlin asked anxiously. "Intimacy, for instance." If Merlin's judgement was not wrong, then Zhou Heng should be the same type of person as him. But why could he not see his own reaction on Zhou Heng?

Zhou Heng shrugged his shoulders, completely unable to understand what Merlin was saying.

Merlin looked at Zhou Heng, his eyes widening, as if he was looking at a monster.

Merlin's body was now formed by supreme blood, and supreme blood had a natural affinity with it. In Merlin's opinion, Zhou Heng should also be able to feel this intimacy.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first." Zhou Heng said as he walked down the stairs, "I'm quite busy."

Merlin's body moved like the wind as he chased after her, "What is it that is worthy of you to leave this place? Every year, only on the day of sacrifice will this place be open. " One had to know that the people of Pirate were willing to come here even at the cost of their lives, in order to pay their respects to the dead Sovereign King.

"My friend is going to play the piano," Zhou Heng said as he quickly walked down the stairs.

For such a thing? Although his memories had already been emptied out, Merlin still had not put himself in a mortal's shoes. In his world, the words "friends play the piano" should not come out of Zhou Heng's mouth, furthermore, Zhou Heng actually giving up the chance to pay respects because of this kind of thing, was something that Merlin did not even dare imagine.

The concept of "worship" did not even exist to Zhou Heng. Even if he could understand Merlin's feelings, he would probably still feel that the promise he made earlier was more important. Unlike Merlin, Zhou Heng always treated himself as a "human". Humans were humans, mortals were humans, and magicians were humans.

A man must keep his word to his friend.

Without any intention to stop, Zhou Heng jogged down the clock tower and directly ran out. Merlin hesitated for a moment. Although he had obtained something important, if he were to leave this place, it would mean that he would need at least a year before he could return. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders there was no point in lingering in a dusty clock tower of no value, but it was that meaningless "affinity" that attracted Merlin and the followers of the great man, like bees and butterflies drawn to the scent of nectar.

Although Zhou Heng was able to leave this place without any burdens, Merlin was unable to do so. He stood inside the bell tower's door and watched Zhou Heng slowly run into the distance. The unconscious Mountain was still outside the door. He had previously been infused with power by Merlin, but now that all of that power had been drained away, and he had a lot of physical strength, so he would still be unconscious for a few hours before waking up.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Merlin flew out of the clock tower. When Merlin left the clock tower, the wooden door closed itself with a bang.

In order to catch up with Zhou Heng's footsteps, Merlin flew rather quickly, the wind blowing behind him lifting up his golden hair.

"Why did you come too?" Zhou Heng felt the movement behind him, he did not need to turn his head to know who was chasing after him.

"Can't I?" Merlin asked. For Merlin, there was not much he could not do in this world. He flew to Zhou Heng's side and looked at his side profile with interest. In his opinion, Zhou Heng was a strange man.

Zhou Heng shook his head. It was Merlin's freedom where he wanted to go, Zhou Heng was not so idle as to meddle in this kind of idle business.

On the other side, on the stage, the host had already finished announcing the show. The next program was a piano performance by Ye Yan and Bai Lu.

When he heard that the Miss Tong and a Pirate general were watching the competition from below the stage, Ye Yan was actually a little nervous. Speaking of which, he had been doing this part for a long time. He had even held a national tour. More than a hundred thousand people had already attended a super large concert, so it should be easy for him to control such a small scene on campus.

But Ye Yan was still nervous. A man in love is like this. He can sing a love song for a hundred thousand people without even frowning, but in front of someone he likes, even a simple piano piece can make him nervous.

Yes, Ye Yan realized that he had fallen in love with the Miss Tong. Originally, this was only a mission assigned to him by the clan, and a marriage like this would often happen between clans like his. When he studied Miss Tong's preferences and observed her every movement and smile for his family, Ye Yan succeeded in making himself fall in love with her.

However, he was already prepared to confess. Ye Yan kept pinching her fingers before she went up the stage. She definitely won't reject me! No girl can refuse my charm!

Ye Yan felt that he should be very confident about this point. However, after pinching his fingers, he smugly brought his fingernails to his lips.

Would she refuse me?

"It's time to go on stage." Bai Lu beside him reminded him.

"Oh, oh!" Ye Yan suddenly stood up from his seat.

"What's the matter with you?" Bai Lu realized that Ye Yan was a little distracted.

"N-nothing!" Ye Yan mumbled as he waved his hand.
