"Were you scared silly by the bugs?" He Xiaofei waved her hand and then asked.

"Not really scared silly, but we’re not going inside." Lin Tian didn’t explain much, just said lightly. It’s not that he’s afraid of danger, but he’s worried about He Xiaofei and Xiao Manxuan.

Hearing they wouldn’t go in, He Xiaofei breathed a sigh of relief, while Xiao Manxuan looked regretful — the little girl was hoping for an adventure.

"Let’s go check out other places." He Xiaofei suggested.

The three of them turned and walked outside when a faint, elusive voice suddenly came to Lin Tian’s ears.

"Young man, come..."

Lin Tian was startled, turned his head to Xiao Manxuan and He Xiaofei: "Did you call me?"

The two girls looked confused, saying strangely: "No, you’re right beside us, why would we call you?"

No? Lin Tian frowned, though his hearing isn’t as good as super vision, he shouldn’t mishear a voice. If it wasn’t them, then who called?

A voice? A flash of insight crossed Lin Tian’s mind, recalling a similar calling in the shrine’s basement before, but nothing happened then.

Why is there a voice here too? Many thoughts ran through Lin Tian’s mind, the only thing he could think of was Jiang Chen’s influence. But Jiang Chen had been divided, can he still summon people? But why didn’t Xiao Manxuan and He Xiaofei hear the voice?

"Lin Tian, what are you thinking?" Xiao Manxuan asked curiously.

"Nothing, let’s go." Lin Tian shook his head, until he left the basement, the strange voice didn’t sound again.

The three explored several other old buildings, roughly understood the environment, and then left the old area.

"Lin Tian, thanks for tonight, and Xuanxuan too." At parting, He Xiaofei sincerely thanked.

"Just a minor effort, besides I’m part of the club too." Lin Tian said with an indifferent smile.

"Previously I thought things were too simple. Without you two tonight, I definitely wouldn’t have had the chance to check everything out here. You really helped a lot. Tomorrow is the last day of the holiday, I have to write an activity plan, I’ll be busy all day." He Xiaofei laughed. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Then see you after the holiday." Lin Tian, Xiao Manxuan, and the beautiful class rep bid farewell. They admired He Xiaofei, willing to use her holiday to plan club activities, a truly responsible person.

After He Xiaofei left, Xiao Manxuan asked: "Lin Tian, were the Gu Worms destroyed by Little Zi placed by Yasuo to monitor us? Why did he do that?"

Looking for Jiang Chen obviously couldn’t be revealed, Lin Tian could only speculate: "Maybe still after the ancient zither, but don’t mind him, after this warning, he definitely won’t mess around again."

"He’s always appearing openly now, why hasn’t Sister Luoxi caught him?" Xiao Manxuan asked puzzledly.

This question Lin Tian really couldn’t answer, because he was also perplexed by it. However, he vaguely guessed that Ning Luoxi might know Xu Feibai was looking for Jiang Chen.

Perhaps Ning Luoxi also doesn’t want Jiang Chen to continue existing in the school, so she tacitly approved Xu Feibai’s actions, letting him take Jiang Chen away. It’s better than becoming a ticking time bomb in the school.

Of course, all this was Lin Tian’s speculation, Ning Luoxi is a busy person, since the last mission, she hadn’t appeared again, Lin Tian couldn’t verify in person.

"Maybe Luoxi has some plan." Lin Tian could only say.

"Alright, I can’t help much either." Xiao Manxuan said helplessly.

The two returned to the dorm, it was already late night, after washing up, Lin Tian continued his cultivation, refining the Crescent Blade, then slept till the morning.

The next day was the last holiday, students returned to school gradually, the campus quiet for days started to become lively again. However, everyone’s topic was about the old area’s demolition, as Lin Tian heard all sorts of discussions about the old area while walking.

In the evening, the homeroom teacher held a class meeting, a chance to gather and refocus everyone after the long break, otherwise many would suffer from holiday "syndrome", taking a long time to integrate into study.

At the class meeting, everyone chatted about various holiday experiences, the class being mainly girls, it was imaginable that the chatter felt even livelier than a market.

Lin Tian quietly sneaked to the back. As soon as he sat down, He Xiaofei sneaked over too, the beautiful class rep smiled: "Lin Tian, Sister Lan and Xiaoyi would like to join us to the old buildings."

"Them?" Lin Tian turned his head and saw the beautiful sports rep and Qiao Xiaoyi also sneaking down, the four-person group reunited.

"Lin Tian, Xiaofei, why didn’t you call us for such fun things." Mu Binglan laughed, the four had been together for a while, the tomboy-had started to smile more, though her smiles were reserved for these few people, still a cold face to other guys.

Lin Tian pointed at He Xiaofei, chuckled: "You have to ask the class rep, she’s the club activity head, she calls the shots, we listen to her, hehe."

"Then that’s settled, Xiaofei already agreed with us." Mu Binglan raised her eyebrow, said.

"When are we going?" Qiao Xiaoyi asked.

"Gather at the cafeteria entrance after class tomorrow and then go together." He Xiaofei decided, as the leader, naturally she made the call.

"I heard from Xiaofei about the situation there, I’m really looking forward to it." Mu Binglan showed an extremely interested look, indeed the tomboy’s hobbies were different, the more eerie the place, the more interest she had.

Plans were set, the class meeting wound down, and everyone headed back.

The next day was formal classes again, after a few days off, starting the monotonous yet fulfilling campus life again.

Morning was advanced math and chemistry classes, afternoon was PE class, Lin Tian’s elective was soccer, and the soccer teacher was Xu Feibai.

Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan arrived early at the field, the little girl went to volleyball class, while Lin Tian came alone to the soccer field, already seeing people earlier than him.

Wearing a white jersey, holding documents in one hand, stepping on a ball with one foot, tall and handsome with an ancient vibe, attending PE class, passing girls couldn’t help but glance.

"Xu Feibai, I suggest you resign from school quickly, or else there might be a teacher-student romance scandal one day." Lin Tian joked as soon as he came over.

"Are you jealous I’m handsome, stealing your spotlight in front of the girls?" Xu Feibai slightly turned his head, glanced at him, also with a faint smile.

"Do whatever you want, I’m indifferent. But I do want to ask, why did you have Yasuo follow me?" Lin Tian dropped the humor, speaking without expression.

Xu Feibai kicked the ball to Lin Tian, said lightly: "If I said it was Yasuo’s own idea, would you believe it?"

"He’s followed already, what’s the point in believing? But let me remind you, an untamed wolf might bite you back." Lin Tian caught the football, his tone unclear whether advising or warning.
