Mimi's eyes widened. She quickly turned to Gu Jin, who gave a small, serious nod.
"I… I didn't know. I'm sorry!" Mimi said in a panic. "I didn't mean to say that!"
Gu Jin waved her hand. "It's okay. Just be careful from now on."
With that, she turned and walked back to her own room.
Long Yifan followed her. Just as she stepped inside and reached to close the door, he pushed in and shut it behind him.
He looked serious. "We need to talk."
He waved his hand, and a soft glow appeared in the air. It was a sound barrier.
"No one can hear us now," he said. "Tell me the truth. Do you really have the necromancer element?"
Gu Jin raised an eyebrow. "And what if I do? That's none of your business."
Long Yifan shook his head. Then, without warning, he stepped forward and hugged her tightly.
"You don't understand," he said. "You really don't know how dangerous this is. If people find out what you are… they'll chase you. Use you. Or kill you."
