For the next period of time, Gu Shi stayed in the Mage Tower to study magic and practice as he had said, and never went out again.

When Gu Shi didn't notice, the time passed quickly and in the blink of an eye, it was a new year again.

Two days before the Chinese New Year, Gu Shicai was called out of the meditation room by Field.

"So the New Year is only two days away? I can't even remember the time clearly." Gu Shi rubbed his eyes and said a little confusedly.

As his level continued to rise, Gu Shi's perception of time became increasingly blurred during his cultivation.

In the past, when his strength was not high, he would be limited by his physical fitness, but now, Gu Shi gradually developed a routine of staying up all night for several days and then having a good sleep, and his three meals a day also began to become irregular.

The chaotic schedule greatly reduced his sensitivity to time.

Although this habit is common among the mages in this world, Gu Shi has not yet gotten rid of his original health concept.

After realizing that he had been a little too reckless recently, Gu Shi decided to adjust his daily routine.

"My bones are a little numb from staying in one position for so long."

Gu Shi stretched his body and said, "Teacher, I want to go home in the next two days. By the way, have you resolved the previous issues?"

"No problem, just go back."

Field had anticipated Gu Shi's request. In fact, if he hadn't known that Gu Shi would go home every Chinese New Year, Field would never have called him out.

"As for the matter, it's basically settled. The academy can be said to have won a great victory, and those students who were spiritually branded have now returned to normal."

Gu Shi said sincerely: "Really? That's great!"

Field's tone was not as relaxed as his. "But there are some small issues that I think I should talk to you about. Remember that Li Hui you met?"

Gu Shi was a little confused, "I remember, what happened to him?"

"He's missing."

"What?!"

Gu Shi was very surprised. "Teacher, didn't you just say that the matter was settled? How come someone is still missing?"

Field said sarcastically, "The outcome has been decided. In the eyes of most people, this matter can truly be said to be settled. The disappearance of a few people is just a few insignificant ripples on a turbulent sea."

Gu Shi couldn't help but sigh. He knew that Field was telling the truth, which made him sigh even more.

Gu Shi pressed on, "Is Li Hui the only one missing? Did the academy send anyone to look for him?"

Field shook his head and said, "He's not the only one missing. Besides Li Hui, many other students are missing.

The academy has sent people to look for them, and now, including Li Hui, there are still three people who have not been found. It is said that the descendant of the escaped Walter family is very cunning and has been using his puppets to spread false information.

"Wait, they didn't even catch the person who cast the mental imprint? Teacher, you are kidding, right?" Gu Shi felt that the more he listened, the more magical it became. If this could be considered the end of the matter, wouldn't it be pure self-deception?

Field sneered, "Oh, I also want to know what's wrong with those people's brains. They actually let someone escape under the noses of more than a dozen mid-level and high-level professionals."

Although Field did not participate in the final operation, he was well aware of all the information.

At first he thought he had misheard, but when he confirmed that the descendant of the Walter family had indeed successfully escaped from the encirclement, Field just wanted to pry open those people's heads to see what was inside.

According to the information Field knew, the strength of the descendant of the Walter family would definitely not exceed the advanced level of the sixth rank. After all, the people who kept him in captivity for research were also afraid of the power of the mental imprint.

In order to ensure their own safety, they would never allow the descendant of the Walter family to advance to the seventh level.

From the advanced level of the sixth order to the elementary level of the seventh order is the watershed between middle and senior professionals. The gap between the two is huge, and the strength is incomparable. They will definitely not feel at ease.

But even with such an overwhelming advantage, the group of people responsible for arresting people still made mistakes, which made Field doubt their IQ.

Hearing this, Gu Shi began to have a headache. What was going on? For the first time, he felt that Congleton School of Magic was so unreliable. His previous impression of it had completely collapsed.

However, this was actually a misunderstanding on Gu Shi's part. This link was not the responsibility of Congleton College. Unfortunately, he did not say a word more, so the college had to take the blame for a while.

Gu Shi shook his head, throwing all these messy things out of his mind, "Forget it, forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore, anyway, these things are not my business.

And from what I've heard, those missing people aren't in any immediate danger, right, teacher?"

Field agreed: "Yes, so far no missing students have been found to be dead."

"That's good. As long as the person is safe, we'll eventually find him if we spend more time."

Gu Shi ended the topic and said goodbye to Field, "I think it's getting late now. I'll be leaving first. Goodbye, teacher!"

"Go ahead, take this opportunity to have a good rest for a few days, but don't play outside for too long."

"Got it, I'll be back soon."

Gu Shi said goodbye to Field and went out towards the base.

When he was halfway there, Gu Shi remembered that he had forgotten to ask Field where the descendant of the Walter family had gone.

Two consecutive encounters on the street made him a little stressed, and he was always worried that it would happen a third time.

However, Gu Shi thought about it and realized that since that guy was actively hiding, it was unlikely that he would appear in public, so his worries should be unnecessary.

Sure enough, he returned to school safely.

After coming out of the teleportation array, Gu Shi immediately felt the lively New Year atmosphere in the school, and he felt a lot happier.

Thinking of a few friends he hadn't seen for a long time, Gu Shi couldn't help but quicken his pace.

"Friends, I'm back!" Gu Shi pushed open the dormitory door, expecting a warm welcome, but unexpectedly scared the three people inside.

"Oh my god, I was scared to death!"

Cheng Xuqing almost collapsed from his chair. When he saw that it was Gu Shi standing at the door, he complained, "Your timing in pushing the door was really good. I didn't realize you did it on purpose."

Gu Shi didn't care. He walked in, closed the door, and then asked, "What were you three talking about in such a mysterious way just now? Your heads were so close together."
