'Academe Sect Campus; shelter area'
The one who only knows about the underground lake incident was all of the students and instructor Hui Ying. All of them was also surprised when Heng told to the mask boy if he is really the one who save Li. Instructor Mei didn't know about what they are talking about and instructor Hui Ying discuss it with him. Instructor Mei finally understand about what there topic is and he ask the mask boy if it is true.
'(Sigh... why are you all saying that I'm mask boy. Well, anyway it's my fault though saying a story that it isn't true. Hm, I have no choice then.) Um... guys well... you are right I'm the one that you were talking about.'
Their reaction was surprised and they feel at ease, they know that he is not an enemy but a friend. Heng then thank him and for saving the life of his friend. Li laughed half heartedly where in his thoughts he want to say that it was him all along. Li didn't mention it to thank him and act where he said he was just glad that his friend was still alive at that moment but still Heng thank him. The mood was a bit good for now then Li think that he will take that chance and talk to Heng in private.
'Just you know mask boy why do we need to talk in a private area. We could just discuss here if you want.'
'Sigh... He-um... just do it because this matters is also about your friend Li Zhi.'
'Wait! do you know about him!?'
'Yes, so kindly follow me.'
Heng agreed to it immediately then Ah Cy interrupted where she said if possible she want to tag along with them but Li as a mask boy didn't permitted it because that wasn't the time for her to know about Li.
Instructor Mei said to be careful outside and open a path on his barrier then the mask boy remind them that no one should follow them and he also add that they should not worry about Heng's safety because he will surely be protect if something bad happen.
Li went outside on the barrier with Heng and went to the area where they couldn't see them. Ah Cy who watch them leaving feels a bit uneasy but if it is their decision then she have choice but to understand it.
As they walk on the bushes, they can still see the barrier from afar Li think that the distance is already enough and stop. Now Heng ask if the mask boy really know about Li and he answer as nodding his head. Li turned around where he didn't face Heng and told him that if he was Li Zhi would he keep it as a secret that he is still alive.
Heng was questioned on his mind and said what was the mask boy talking about, Li shout suddenly he said that Heng should just answer it properly. Heng was startled and hesitated to answer but his honest answer came and said that if the mask boy is really Li Zhi then there might be a reason why he need to hide his identity. So Heng's answer was yes he will keep it as a secret between the two of them and never say it even if it cost his life nor discriminating Li Zhi.
Heng seems serious about the words that he said and Li as the mask boy laughed out loud. An angry popping vein came out on Heng's head and ask what was funny about in his words. Li then turned to face Heng while laughing and in that moment he became but serious where he removed slowly the black skeleton mask.
Definitely Li's thoughts imagination was Heng's baby cry but unfortunately his imagination was very far away than he think. In reality Heng gasp and shout as if he was seeing a ghost right in front of him. Li react quickly and shut Heng's mouth, covering it by his hands. Heng was mumbling and struggling to get out and Li hit him where he whispered angrily.
'It's me you idiot!... why the heck are you screaming. I'm not a ghost nor spirit beast!... you can even touch me right?'
'W-w-wait, is it really you? brother Li?...'
'Sigh... yeah and as you can see I'm here and alive.'
This time Heng started to cry while Li sigh and finally he realized that it was him. Heng have many questions but he ask first how did he survived about when he lured the spirit beasts. Li told everything from the things where he lured the spirit beasts, where he is supposed to be dead but stayed alive till the end and also Li told everything about his skills and his plans except the transport thing and his supernatural simple system because it will only make Heng's mind complicated.
'That's amazing brother Li, it feels like you were destined as a lucky person to be alive. Aside that you really have a two elements, that is ice and shadow where it also breakthrough to the normal tier3. You're really amazing brother Li.'
'Nahaha... thanks, and you swore that you will keep it as secret right?'
'Even from Ah Cy?'
'Well... yeah, things will get bit messy if I show myself to her and I'm sure that she will notice it soon that I'm really Li Zhi. If it comes to that situation then the three of us can keep it secret.'
Li's words make Heng agree to his conditions and they started to move going to the direction of the barrier. While they were talking each other Heng stop where he was in deep thought and Li ask if there was something on his mind that troubling him. There wasn't any and Heng ask what should he call Li Zhi from now on.
Li realized it and he think of something but it was just simple he said that he will just call himself as 'Zhi Li'. Heng laugh but it was still a great idea, so from that day Heng will call Li Zhi as Zhi Li but if they were alone he can still call him Li. As the two of them walk out in the dark area and showing their self Heng wave to Ah Cy as he sign that he was okay and the two instructors was glad that there wasn't bad situation came to them.
