Shanshan used her keen intuition to sense the girl's aura.

But Lin Yue had no effective solutions and could only conduct a aimless, carpet-like search.

At this moment, Lin Yue stopped, remembering something. He had given Lan Xi the second blue cherry blossom petal. It was a talisman he had given her, derived from Lin Yue's sword "Blue Cherry Blossom." He had instructed her that in case of danger, she should hold the talisman tightly until it melted.

If cherry blossom petals are in danger and melt, they will release demonic energy. He wondered if he could use this to sense Lan Xi's location?

Lin Yue drew his Blue Cherry sword, pointing it high at the night sky; blue light shimmered in the darkness. Instantly, the sword trembled; to the east lay the source of the demonic energy!

It was a storage room with several pine trees planted in front of it.

A magical barrier tightly surrounded the area protecting the offerings, ruthlessly resisting anyone's approach. Lin Yue, carrying Lan Ying, used all his strength to unleash several sword energies, slicing open a gap in the barrier large enough for a person to enter.

Sensing the influence of the magic, the pine trees outside the barrier discovered the arrival of the uninvited guests and gradually reverted to their original forms, melting away their tree shapes and returning to their demonic soldier forms.

Lin Yue focused intently, dispatching one demonic soldier at a time with a single strike, a flash of blue light streaking through the night. Before they even hit the ground, the demonic soldiers were shredded into blood and flesh, dissipating into the air. In just over ten seconds, he had completely eliminated the demonic soldiers guarding the barrier.

Lin Yue carefully calculated the force required to slash open the storage room door so as not to injure the people inside.

Lan Xi, who was tightly bound, had a rag stuffed in her mouth, and looked terrified, came into view.

Lin Yue let out a long breath, so relaxed he almost dropped the knife. He immediately untied her.

Lan Xi stared blankly at Lin Yue's blurry figure in the night, then slowly raised her hand, revealing the remnants of the talisman that had mostly dissolved in her palm.

"Hey there, what are you doing in the storage room so late? Finishing homework? Staying out all night, I'm reporting you tomorrow."

Lan Xi was still in a state of panic, but Lin Yue's teasing brought her back to reality. Indeed, with him there, she was safe.

"That's just how you are! You take a moment to relax and then start making jokes."

"No jokes, I'd be doing you a disservice by getting so excited right now, wouldn't I?"

"What's there to get so excited about!"

"Okay, stop fooling around, let's go!"

"I'm so tired, I want to sleep for a while." When Lan Xi stood up, she found that her legs were numb and her consciousness was starting to become a little unclear.

"Don't sleep! Sleep when we get home!" Lin Yue pulled her up, but she seemed really tired.

"I'm so tired, so tired of waiting for you. I can only hold onto the amulet tightly. The surroundings are filled with a disgusting and terrifying demonic aura that makes it hard to breathe, but I dare not sleep, afraid that I will never wake up again."

After saying that, Lan Xi's consciousness began to blur. She had indeed been holding on for a long time, having already experienced a very serious accident today.

"Okay, you can rest for a while." Lin Yue noticed that Shan Shan was already standing outside the door, so he didn't have much of a qualm.

"I need to rush over to Uncle Bin's place to help. There are people watching over you outside, so rest for a while."

He brought a canvas and laid it on the ground so she could half-lie down. After going outside, he encountered Shanshan facing him directly.

She discerned some truths from his distant gaze, but something remained hidden.

"She's asleep. Could you please watch over her for me? Thank you."

"You like her?" She nodded in agreement, then squeezed out the question with barely moving lips.

"Impossible. No one can replace anyone else."

After saying that, Lin Yue picked up his sword, turned around, and prepared to leave.

"But her appearance seems to have saved you."

"I hope so."

After saying that, Lin Yue walked towards the library.

However, at the highest point in that direction, a light flashed, briefly turning the night sky white.

Lin Yue knew that the battle was basically over. That was Xie Xuanbin's strongest magic technique, the Holy Aurora, which annihilated evil and slayed demons in the light.

"That guy is terrifying..." Inside the building, the demon policeman, missing an arm and half of his abdomen, dragged a pool of blood that wouldn't stop flowing as he desperately made his way down the stairs.

"What's wrong with that guy? Why can't I beat that exorcist even though I made a pact with a demon?"

The demon policeman's familiar was blown to ash by Uncle Bin, and the demon policeman himself was also seriously injured. The battle had only just begun, and he no longer cared about high-level sacrifices; he felt that escaping was the most important thing.

Third floor, second floor, first floor... Finally, he reached the ground floor! However, what awaited him was Lin Yue, who came with a knife.

4. In the morning, Principal Zhou felt that since the strange events had stopped disturbing Holy Cross College, it was bathed in sacred sunlight every day. He greeted the Dawn Poetry Society with a smile in his office.

Uncle Bin knocked on the door, and after receiving a response, he opened it and brought Lin Yue in for a visit. The principal and Uncle Bin shook hands solemnly, with the principal reciting prepared words of gratitude. "Thank you so much! This matter is finally over!"

"There might still be some loose ends to clean up," Lin Yue said.

"Could it be that they're going to investigate me again?" Principal Zhou joked, though he was actually quite flustered inside.

"How about I treat you to a buffet dinner at the Caesars Five-Star Hotel tonight?"

"Thanks..." Uncle Bin politely declined, "I need to go back to the organization tonight to submit a mission report."

"Alright then, but please let me do my part as a host! I know the students really like you, Professor Xie, and they also like the new chemistry teacher. How about you rest here for a while until the end of the semester?"

Uncle Bin thought for a few seconds and replied, "Okay, I also want to take a vacation. Being a PE teacher isn't too tiring."
