Everyone scrambled to get in line, but Gu Xi quietly stepped back to the side.
"Gu Xi?"
Qi Xiang tilted her head, confused. Even the Qin sisters, who were already near the front, stopped and looked back at her.
Before Gu Xi could figure out an explanation, Wei Heng, who was beside her, suddenly spoke up. "Gu Xi used to live alone in the ruins. She doesn't like, and isn't used to, being crowded by so many strangers..."
'Ah, I see...'
"Then we'll go later too." The Qin sisters and Qi Xiang exchanged a look and decided to wait at the back with Gu Xi.
The line in front of them moved steadily forward. There were only a few dozen people in total, and the long queue quickly shrank by a fifth.
Gu Xi stood at the end of the line with her hands at her sides, watching the crowd move slowly forward, her expression calm.
'The fact that I have no X Energy in my body must not be discovered.'
'At least, not now.'
