Chapter 1078: Chapter 505 The 1st Person to Have a Problem_2

“What?!” Lu Zhao was shocked upon hearing this, “The book contains the Sneering Angel?!”

“I saw it with my own eyes!” Chen Xue hurriedly said, “I just opened such a book and locked eyes with the Sneering Angel in it. If my sister hadn’t woken me up, I would have been killed by the Sneering Angel!”

“Could it be that you were hallucinating? Even an Imperial Decree can’t contain the Sneering Angel.” Lu Zhao frowned, finding it hard to believe.

After all, given Chen Xue’s current mental state, her words seemed less convincing.

“I saw it, how could I be lying to you?!” Chen Xue hurriedly defended herself.

Lu Zhao pursed his lips, pondering, “Alright… Let’s not touch these two books for now, and tell me, how did you end up in disarray while protecting Little Jin to get the book?”

Chen Xue quickly recounted the entire incident, her expression grim: “Ever since I indirectly came into contact with Yu Tong, I’ve felt something wrong with this hand… And that book ended up in my possession because of this hand…”

“This hand?” Lu Zhao closely examined Chen Xue’s palm but couldn’t see anything wrong, “Little Jin, can you sense anything?”

The situation was urgent, so Jin Jiuyao refrained from teasing Chen Xue and gently held her palm, carefully sensing it.

As he sensed, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows, clicking his tongue, “There seems to be a little problem…”

He glanced at the others and then, not entirely sure, said, “From Chen Xue’s hand, I faintly sense a wave of very evil supernatural power… She just interacted with Yu Tong, could it be related to Yu Tong?”

“I don’t know…” Chen Xue shook her head, “That Xiao Zi also interacted with them… Maybe we could ask him? Yes, maybe we can!”

“No! Absolutely not! We absolutely can’t ask him!” Jin Jiuyao sternly refuted Chen Xue’s suggestion.

“We can, we can ask him!” Chen Xue’s attitude took an odd turn.

Then, as if recalling something, she quickly looked at Lu Zhao, “I remember now, that Xiao Zi! That Xiao Zi must exist! He might not be someone from this class; I don’t know why he appeared here, but he definitely exists!”

“Ah?” Lu Zhao was thoroughly puzzled.

Not just him, even Chen Bing and Jin Jiuyao looked at her strangely, as if saying, have you lost it, why are you overturning our previous assumption?

“Tell us the evidence.” Lu Zhao asked.

Chen Xue said, “He mentioned earlier, ‘seven days, thirty thousand’!”

Chen Xue glanced at Jin Jiuyao, “Didn’t you hear it too?”

Jin Jiuyao was taken aback, “What are you trying to say?”

Before Chen Xue could speak, Lu Zhao suddenly realized, “The official reward for Experience Students has always been fluctuating. We can roughly determine the enrollment time through the bounty, and this is also a basis within the district to forecast an approximate enrollment time without asking for other Experience Students’ student ID numbers. Wait, are you saying…”

“Seven days, thirty thousand! That’s the recent bounty!” Jin Jiuyao pondered, “Our rate is thirty thousand and one for seven days! He must have enrolled a few days before us!”

“If he were a non-existent person or a Lost Soul who died long ago, it’s impossible for him to keep track of money so vividly!”

“Moreover, even if he remembered, how could he know it’s seven days, thirty thousand?!”

Chen Xue’s words shattered the previously established guess.

Jin Jiuyao had just said Lin Yi absolutely didn’t exist, and now Chen Xue overturned Jin Jiuyao’s statement. Such back-and-forth changes left everyone more confused.

The secrets surrounding Lin Yi and Wei Liang were becoming increasingly mysterious, making them harder to decipher.

“Hmm…” Lu Zhao drew out the nasal tone, “Considering this, Little Jin might have made things up, but Xiao Zi couldn’t feign ignorance about seven days, thirty thousand… Not sure if it’s truly unknown.”

“Why don’t we just go and ask him?” Jin Jiuyao suggested, “Although it might seem a bit brainless, sincerity is always the ultimate skill. I think I can surely get an answer!”

The usually silent Chen Bing suddenly spoke up: “Avoid going the ‘hard-to-find soul mate’ route?”

Jin Jiuyao immediately pulled a face of regret, “I was wrong, I won’t pretend anymore, alright? Shall we just go and ask? Uh, I can’t, you guys go ask, the beauty trap, right?”

Chen Bing remained silent, and Chen Xue also stayed quiet.

At this moment, the classroom door opened.

The four of them immediately looked over, only to see Lin Yi opening the classroom door…

“Not good, he…” Before Jin Jiuyao could react, Lin Yi had already left the classroom, and the classroom door closed with a “bang.”

“He… he just left like that?” Jin Jiuyao was speechless, his gaze fell on Wei Liang instead, “How about we go find that William and ask him? When pervs handle girls, they’re usually more gentlemanly than nobles…”

Chen Xue hesitated for a long time, lips pursed, when Chen Bing spoke up instead: “I’ll go ask…”

With that, she took a step forward, heading towards Wei Liang…

Watching Chen Bing’s back, Lu Zhao glanced down at the book in hand, faint laughter and chattering seemed to echo in his ears…

…

Speaking of Lin Yi, when Chen Xue was in distress in the bookshelf area, he had already started a conversation with Wei Liang: “Liangzi, I plan to go inform the homeroom teacher now. Once I’ve done that, we’ll go meet Wei Sang and then storm the dormitory, how does that sound to you?”

Wei Liang, who was savoring “The 26-Year-Old Female Tenant of Hokkaido,” heard Lin Yi’s voice and silently shifted his gaze from the book’s binding to Lin Yi’s face, feigning seriousness: “Say hello to Teacher Lin for me.”

“Should I call you then?” Lin Yi asked.

Wei Liang was speechless: “Of course, call me; otherwise, how would I know when to set off?”

“Alright, I’ll be going then.” Lin Yi nodded, strapped on his backpack, and began descending the stairs.

Wei Liang had no intention of seeing Lin Yi off; he buried himself back into “The 26-Year-Old Female Tenant of Hokkaido,” completely unaware even when Lin Yi pushed the door open and left.

Before long, Chen Bing arrived…

Upon arrival, she directly opened the folding chair where Lin Yi had sat, coolly took a seat with a cold expression.

Then… she said not a word.

Time silently flowed by…

Chen Bing sat in silence…

Finally, Wei Liang finished reading “The 26-Year-Old Female Tenant of Hokkaido.” He closed the book and stretched his body.

“Eh, Old Lin, you came back so quickly…” While stretching, Wei Liang slowly became aware of someone beside him; yawning, he glanced over, “WTF, Old Lin! You turned into a girl?!”

“Pssh… With curves like that, Old Lin, you’ve truly outdone yourself!”

“Looks like tonight I, Fortune Life Wei Liang the Celestial, must fight our way back to the dormitory with you! A true brother shouldn’t let others take advantage, hehehehehe…”

With a mischievous grin, he boldly pinched Chen Bing’s cheek: “Tsk tsk tsk… This bouncy face! This snow-white swan neck! These gaudy pecs… Poof…”

Chen Bing couldn’t stand it anymore and jabbed the shameless fellow with her elbow.

Originally, she tolerated having her cheek pinched and neck touched, but seeing this pervert getting increasingly inappropriate, even having thoughts about her gaudy pecs, he really deserved a beating!

Being reserved doesn’t mean being indifferent to everything!

“Old Lin! You… you hit me!” Wei Liang covered his face, feeling wronged and on the verge of tears, “Not letting a good brother have some fun, no need to hit, right?”

“Have you overdosed on the Emperor’s Uncle? Letting your impulses get the better of you?” Chen Bing finally couldn’t hold it in anymore, “I’m Chen Bing, you’ve met my sister.”

“Chen Bing?” Wei Liang blinked twice, then understood, letting out a rooster-like crow of realization, “Ahhhhh oh oh oh oh…”

“It’s you! I thought it was Old Lin!”
