Upon hearing this familiar name, the man's movements halted, his hand stopping midway while closing the window. His eyes immediately filled with uncertainty and even a hint of murderous intent.
But soon, as he noticed Lamia beside Yun You, this wariness vanished instantly, replaced by a touch of astonishment.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Only the sound of condensation dripping overhead, "滴嗒."
The man's abrupt breathing echoed in the confined space; he swayed slightly, blocking the door gap, grabbing the cold door frame to barely stand firm.
"Who?"
His voice was terribly parched.
"You said... who?"
"Akas."
Yun You stared directly at the stormy waves in his eyes, yet spoke with a remarkably calm tone.
"I am Yun You, one of Jin's students."
"He... he left, and before he left, he left a letter asking me to bring Lamia to see you."
"Jing..."
