Lin Xiao and Ling Luo were following behind the headmaster and the teacher, until they reached a room. The headmaster sat on the chair, while the teacher sat next to her. Their gazes were on Lin Xiao and Ling Luo, and they were clearly waiting for an explanation.

Lin Xiao searched for the right words in his heart and then began to clarify: “Teacher, the reason why Ling Luo and I surpassed the deadline of three months is because we fell under a cliff and were injured. However, we have completed our assignments quite early.”

The headmaster didn’t open her mouth and kept on sitting silently.

But the teacher asked: “How did you find that transporter?” Except for the teachers, no one else knew the exact locations of the transporters after they concealed them. Therefore, it was really strange for both the headmaster and the teacher to see them being able to discover a transporter.

Lin Xiao was dumbfounded, because he didn’t expect the teacher would ask such a question. But thinking back, it was Ling Luo who guided them to the transporter, even though he didn’t know how Ling Luo found it.

Now that the teacher asked, Lin Xiao certainly wouldn’t implicate Ling Luo, so he was about to open his mouth when Ling Luo intervened before he could, “We saw some rays in that place.” Ling Luo simply explained to the teacher.

The teacher only nodded and didn’t utter a word, thinking that the two students were just lucky. “Three months have passed already. According to the regulation, you should be expelled by Yunqi Academy.”

But Lin Xiao tried to justify themselves: “Teacher, we really have finished the assigned work earlier. It is just that time slipped after we fell under the cliff.” And then, he also revealed his cultivation, “Moreover, I have reached Xuan stage while cultivating under the cliff.”

At first, the teacher and the headmaster didn’t pay attention to their cultivation level, but after sensing that Lin Xiao had really reached Xuan stage, they were surprised. Then he… The teacher’s eyes shifted onto Ling Luo. Ling Luo didn’t make a sound and directly displayed his cultivation. He was in the same stage as Lin Xiao, but with a higher rank.

“This…” the teacher hesitated for a bit after witnessing the two students’ cultivation level. Based on the level, the two could be considered experts already.

If they expelled those two, then the school would be wronging two young seedlings!

What to do? The teacher, who at the beginning wanted to expel the two students, glanced at the headmaster with a complicated expression. The most important thing to her was talent. As for the time limit, it could be completely overlooked. Furthermore, the two have also completed the missions, right?

The headmaster was silent for a while and continued to observe the two students.

Lin Xiao’s heart tightened while sweat began to transpire on his hands because he was really nervous. At this time, the headmaster questioned neither quickly or slowly: “Do you know how much time you took in exiting from that place this time?”

How much time?

Lin Xiao didn’t calculate. He was only aware that they exceeded the deadline. Thus, he shook his head as he replied: “I don’t know.” But he was convinced that it shouldn’t be too much.

The headmaster slightly smiled and announced the number which made Lin Xiao instantly astounded, “From when the examination ended, two years have gone by already!”

Two years!!! Lin Xiao was shocked. Ling Luo also opened his eyes wide and found it inconceivable.

How could it be like this? Unexpectedly, they have stayed under the cliff for two years?? This is unscientific!! How could time pass that quickly!?
