Demon King – Chapter 517 – Those Involved Are Confused, Onlookers See Clearly

In just two or three short days, Dorm 1503 had somehow been hit with surprise inspections by the dorm supervisors a full eight times. If Eiru had not been staying in the dorm the whole time as a precaution, at the very least the issue of them keeping a pet would definitely have been exposed.

This drove everyone completely nuts. Without any concrete information, there was no reason for the dorm supervisors to be coming this frequently. Two or three inspections a day, who the hell could take that?

So under everyone’s urging, the extremely unlucky Comrade Jixian was once again assigned a task. After all, in the entire dorm, he was the only one with any real experience interacting normally with girls. You ask about Yuki? Do you seriously think Eiru counts as a normal girl?

It was also Her Majesty the Demon Lord’s carefully arranged “chance encounter”. Fully convinced that Yunyue was absolutely innocent, she almost seemed to be acting out of spite, saying that they could go look for Yunyue all they wanted and that there was absolutely no way she would have any problems at all.

And so the current scene came to be. In the school cafeteria, Jixian sat awkwardly across from Yunyue. Using the excuse that there were no other seats and that they knew each other anyway so they might as well make do, the two of them ended up sitting together, each eating their own lunch.

“I don’t really mind, but haven’t you been chasing after a girl lately? If you get seen like this, won’t that have a bad influence?”

After swallowing the food in her mouth, Yunyue spoke unhurriedly. She was well aware of a certain someone’s petty jealousy. If she did not know Jixian and was not giving him face, there was no way she would have let him sit here.

“Huh? Where did you hear that… little prin… Eiru told you?”

Jixian had been worrying about how to bring things up, but her question conveniently opened the topic. Still, what she said bothered him a lot. His plan to pursue Xuenan should not have been known by that many people…

“Not exactly. It’s just that the one you’re chasing happens to be my roommate. So I occasionally hear some things from her and just happened to find out.”

That was a bombshell. The fact that Xuenan and Yunyue lived in the same dorm was something even Eiru did not know. Jixian felt a burst of joy in his heart. With Yunyue’s identity as a roommate, he could get a lot more information about Xuenan.

But his relationship with Yunyue herself seemed to be limited to just knowing each other. If not for that silly loli Eiru forcibly linking them together, the two of them probably would have been complete strangers, never knowing each other their whole lives.

So even with this convenient angle, Jixian had no idea where to start asking about Xuenan. With no other choice, he could only do what he usually did when hanging out with Xuenan and start awkwardly chatting about random topics.

“Sigh, these past two days our dorm has been getting absolutely wrecked by inspections… saying something about strictly cracking down on bringing girls into the dorm and stuff. They’ve been seriously strict lately.”

“Huh? Then LuLu wasn’t discovered, right? Isn’t she living in your dorm? I already told her not to live in the boys’ dorm… honestly, you guys too…”

Yunyue’s first reaction was to worry about Eiru. If that idiot girl got caught, expulsion would be a done deal.

Eiru had told her before that although she skipped classes left and right and seemed to be living freely on the surface, in reality she was walking a tightrope right along the school’s bottom line. If she caused even one more serious incident, the school would not hesitate to expel her. The only reason they were letting her be for now was purely out of consideration for her relatives and because they wanted to entice Eiya to enroll.

So what the little princess said was right after all? Yunyue’s reaction instantly made Jixian drop his suspicion of her. Leaving aside whether it could be an act, who in the world would worry about someone they themselves had reported? No wonder Eiru trusted Yunyue so much. Turns out the one across from him was also someone who doted on lolis.

On the other side, Yunyue more or less figured out what kind of trouble her crazy roommate had stirred up. That day she only knew the other girl was going to pull something, but she did not bother to look into the details. Now she was also feeling troubled about how to bring this up and warn Jixian.

Say it directly? No, no way. Badmouthing the girl he likes right to his face would just be asking to get shot. People in love have no IQ. Yunyue understood this point deeply, because she had been through it herself.

“Have you ever thought about whether someone reported you guys? Normally speaking, if there was no tip-off, the dorm supervisors shouldn’t be screening so frequently and so strictly, right?”

After hesitating for a long time, Yunyue could only give this kind of indirect reminder. At the same time, she was also testing him to see if Jixian could catch the hidden meaning in her words.

“Huh? Do you know who it was?”

Jixian instantly got a little excited. Sometimes he really was just that straightforward and reckless. As soon as Yunyue said this, he immediately assumed she knew quite a bit of inside information.

“Let me make this clear first, it’s just a suspicion. I don’t have any direct evidence. I’m not trying to talk bad behind anyone’s back either. Believe it or not is up to you.”

After giving him a heads-up, Yunyue finally told him what she had seen in the dorm that day.

Xuenan reported them? Impossible, impossible. She is not that kind of person. Jixian’s first reaction was naturally disbelief. He felt it might be some kind of conflict between roommates and that this was Yunyue getting back at her or something.

But once he calmed down, he remembered that although Xuenan probably did not know Eiru (he did not know that the loli and Xuenan had contact), when they talked on the phone… he did seem to have mentioned it to her?

He remembered that Xuenan had heard another girl’s voice over the phone, and to avoid misunderstandings, he explained that it was his roommate’s girlfriend. But Xuenan had no motive. She had no grudges with anyone. What would she gain from reporting this?

“Hey? What’s wrong? Give me some reaction.”

Seeing him standing there spacing out, Yunyue waved her hand in front of Jixian’s eyes, snapping him back to his senses.

“Even though it does seem strange, Xuenan really shouldn’t be capable of that… she has no reason to do it.”

Coming back to himself, Jixian smiled awkwardly, unwilling from the bottom of his heart to doubt the girl he liked.

And Yunyue did not feel like the kind of scheming, manipulative girl either. Maybe she was just stating what she saw, without any other intentions.

Thinking like that, Jixian directly crossed her off his mental list of suspects. At the same time, he also crossed off Xuenan, who had just been added to the list.

“I’ll give you a piece of advice. Xuenan actually isn’t as simple as she looks on the surface. If you really want to pursue her, try to keep a few extra guards up and pay more attention,” Yunyue said. Since he was a good friend of Eiru, she really did not want to see Jixian sink deeper and deeper into the mud.

“Those involved are confused, onlookers see clearly. Only by observing her from an onlooker’s perspective can you truly understand her. If you only look at things as the person involved, there are many things you won’t be able to see.”

After saying all this, Yunyue picked up the empty plate in front of her and prepared to leave. She had said everything she needed to say. If she kept going, she would really become a petty villain stirring up trouble between people.

On the surface, it looked like she was providing dating advice, but in reality she was subtly reminding him to see Xuenan’s true face clearly. If Jixian did as she said, it would not take long for Xuenan to reveal her real self.

Now it all depended on whether this unlucky student Jixian could pull it off while under the intelligence-reducing debuff of being in love. Anyway, she, Yunyue, had done everything she could. What happened next could only be up to Jixian himself.
