As time passed, the commotion caused by the competition between Xiao Zheng and Xia Ya finally began to subside.
Xia Ya, as she had promised then, indeed did not come to pester Xiao Zheng anymore.
But whenever the two occasionally met in the academy, the look Xia Ya gave Xiao Zheng became incomparably complex. And she seemed to gaze at him for a very long time, making Xiao Zheng feel a bit uneasy all over.
What intrigued Xiao Zheng even more was that, whenever he wanted to take the initiative to greet Xia Ya, she would blush, say nothing, and leave directly.
Her strange behavior puzzled Xiao Zheng greatly.
Though Xiao Zheng didn't know exactly what happened to Xia Ya, he couldn't be bothered to investigate deeply. To him, Xia Ya was not the focal point he needed to face next.
Since Xia Ya had given up pestering him, this meant Xiao Zheng now had ample time to start searching for the whereabouts of the Golden Bone.
