Chapter 130: The Sudden Appearance of a Blank White

At nine that evening, Yun Xuan returned home with Wen Xiaoya, who was drunk.

They had planned to drink before going to the hotel, but Wen Xiaoya had ended up drinking far too much.

With inner energy cultivation equivalent to that of a swordsman, Yun Xuan naturally could not be brought down by a few bottles of alcohol.

“Sis Xun’er, she’s had too much to drink. Take her to Xue’er’s room. I’ll sleep on the sofa tonight.” Yun Xuan supported Wen Xiaoya as he walked through the door.

“Mm. Carry her upstairs.” Yun Xun’er nodded.

Yun Xuan picked Wen Xiaoya up. With his strength, she felt as light as a feather.

After carrying her into Yun Xue’s room, Yun Xuan wiped the sweat from his brow. Before he could even catch his breath, Qin Yue appeared in front of him.

“Carry me,” Qin Yue said softly.

“…”

Yun Xuan gave a bitter smile and carried Qin Yue back to her room. In reality, it was no more than ten steps.

“Go to sleep early.” Yun Xuan put Qin Yue down, feeling somewhat awkward.

“You can sleep here tonight too. I don’t mind.” Qin Yue spoke in a low voice.

“No, no. I’ll sleep on the sofa downstairs.” Yun Xuan shook his head and walked out.

…

Over the next few days, Yun Xuan taught Hayama Tono and the other two at the Xuanxue Restaurant, only to discover that Hayama Tono and Sakanoue Ginko had actually gotten together!

That was right—they were really together!

“Ginko, I’m going out to buy some vegetables. Do you want to come with me? I’ll make your favorite meatball soup tonight.” Hayama Tono wore a gentle smile.

“Mm.” Sakanoue Ginko blushed. The two of them walked out hand in hand, leaving Yun Xuan utterly dumbfounded.

“When did those two become like this?” Yun Xuan’s mouth twitched.

“About two weeks ago, I pushed open the kitchen door in the morning and found the two of them… kissing in there. I was startled too, but now I feel as though I’ve gotten used to it. Ginko wants things this way as well.” Alice smiled.

“Honestly…” Yun Xuan did not know what to say. Then he suddenly remembered the Dark Battle Princess and understood.

Although Hayama Tono was together with Sakanoue Ginko, everything would be fine as long as Ginko dressed as a girl. After all, he could become a master of cross-dressing.

“Brother, look at this.” Yun Xue held out her phone, placing it before Yun Xuan in astonishment.

“Genius Go Player Develops a Successful Game? Only Eleven Years Old… It’s Her!”

Yun Xuan read the headline. Then he swiped downward with one finger, and his entire expression froze.

How was that possible?!

“Do you know her, Brother? This girl is so cute.” Yun Xue looked at him curiously.

“Sorry, Xue’er. I have to go out for a while.” Yun Xuan spoke seriously.

There was no way he could have imagined that Shiro would appear in this world.

Then where was Sora? Hadn’t Blank always been together?

No matter how one looked at it, the Shiro from the anime would never have appeared in public like this.

“Wait. How exactly did Shiro come to this world?” Yun Xuan thought of a frightening possibility. Shiro had very likely been summoned here.

If Shiro could be summoned, then what about other anime characters?

As the thought occurred to him, cold sweat trickled down Yun Xuan’s forehead.

…

In Hokkaido, Japan, five people stood beside a summoning circle, staring at its center.

“By your summons, I have come. My name is Akame, wielder of the Imperial Arm One-Cut Kill—Murasame!” The girl stepped out of the circle.

She had long, jet-black hair and crimson eyes. Her exquisite face was cold and distant.

“Welcome to this world. I am the summoner, Asuna the Third.” The pink-haired woman bowed.

“I am only responsible for fighting.” Akame’s voice was indifferent.

“This world is dangerous. Be careful.” Shiro spoke.

“I don’t mind sparring with you.” The black-haired girl in a strange uniform stared intently at Akame. She was equipped with three-dimensional maneuvering gear.

“Um… can I go back and draw now?” the silver-haired girl asked timidly. She wore a hooded tracksuit.

“Misaka is hungry. Can we go back and eat? Misaka Number 10086 has raised an important question.” The final girl spoke without expression.

“Grrr…”

Akame’s stomach growled as she landed.

“I’ll go hunting. Wait here.” Akame remained completely expressionless, despite the sound that had come from her stomach.

“No need. There’s plenty of food here. Let’s go home first.” Asuna the Third gave a helpless smile.

…

The Xuan-Xun Residence.

“Yes. Find out her exact location, as well as who is around her. Don’t disturb her. I’ll go and see for myself.”

Yun Xuan hung up the phone. He had been speaking with Shiro of the Hidden Mist.

Shiro of Blank had appeared in this world. Yun Xuan had examined the photographs carefully—there was no doubt that it was really her. Besides, there was that statement of hers: Go was nothing more than tic-tac-toe. She had easily defeated numerous Go masters and had now begun challenging chess masters.

“Genius girl Shiro… Could this be the work of the angels?” Yun Xuan murmured.

Whatever the case, he had to find her first.

Only after making sure that she had no intention of destroying this world could Yun Xuan finally put his mind at ease.

“Ding.”

His phone rang.

When he opened it, he saw a notification from an official account.

The first headline, prominently displayed, read: Genius Go Prodigy Defeats Dozens of Go Masters!

He scrolled to the second article. It was an art competition in which contestants were asked to draw an anime character from their imagination. They could submit an original character or choose from several characters from light novels.

The first-place prize was one hundred thousand yuan.

“Even a tiny mosquito is still meat.”

Yun Xuan pulled out a drawing of Yukino Yukinoshita, labeled it as an original character, and submitted it under his own account.

After completing the submission, Yun Xuan set down his phone. School would begin tomorrow, and a fulfilling campus life was about to start.

“Ring, ring.”

His phone rang again.

“Lin Ximeng?” Yun Xuan answered, somewhat puzzled.

“Mr. Yun Xuan? Do you know where Miss Ximeng has gone?” A weary middle-aged man’s voice came through the phone.

“I don’t know. What happened to Lin Ximeng?” Yun Xuan froze.

“Ximeng is currently missing. If she has gone to Fangyu City, please contact me immediately.” The voice belonged to Lin Li.

“What? She’s missing?” Yun Xuan was shocked. The general’s granddaughter had disappeared? This was no trivial matter.

“Please don’t let this get out. Ximeng has your number in her phone. She may have gone to Fangyu City, so please keep an eye out for her.” Lin Li’s tone was grave.

“No problem.” Yun Xuan said no more.

Only after hearing the busy signal did Yun Xuan hang up.

Lin Ximeng was missing? The Lin family seemed unable to contact her. What had happened to her? Had she run away from home?

If it was the latter, things were still manageable. But the former was difficult to believe. Given Lin Ximeng’s identity, unless the culprit was a martial artist—or someone who did not know who she was—no one would dare lay a hand on her.

But would she really run away without taking her phone? And the Lin family could not reach her?

She had probably already left the capital.

“Knock, knock.”

Someone knocked on the door.

“What is it?” Yun Xuan asked.

“There is a young lady named Lin Ximeng downstairs asking to see you.” The voice belonged to Mizunashi Shirana Number Seven.

“…”

Yun Xuan stared blankly ahead.

So she really had run away from home?
