Shang Liang, the master of the Yuntai Sect, failed his ascension after using the remains of an ancient divine dragon to refine a magical artifact, the Dragon Soul Tower, causing his soul to transmi...
Regardless of the situation, Shang Lin didn't care, so she only asked Mo Rong, "Can we leave now?"
Mo Rong immediately snapped out of her daze and subconsciously checked the time. "There's still some time before your class. Why don't you come to my office for a while? That way you won't have to go through the hassle of going home again."
However, Shang Lin laughed and said, "Then you might as well let me sleep in your office for a while. After all, we have a lot of classes, and we have to squeeze out time to rest every day."
"Studying so diligently!" Mo Rong paused for a moment, then readily agreed, "Okay!"
When Shang Lin and She Jinxing entered Mo Rong's office, he finally realized what was happening and asked, "Where's Changfeng?"
Mo Rong pointed to the sofa, "You can lie down on the sofa and take a nap. He and Lan Xuan have gone out."
Shang Lin was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "He's not with you anymore, he's gone to collaborate with Lan Xuan on a cross-industry project?"
In Shang Lin's memory, whenever Lan Xuan went out, it was always to cooperate with relevant departments in the human world, since that was where he worked and sacrificed himself before his death.
But Mo Rong said, "I guess so. It was a high school in a neighboring city. They went to investigate because there were some problems with the midterm exams."
"High school? Final exams?" Shang Lin was very puzzled. "What could be wrong with that?"
The students cheated? The exam papers were leaked? In that instant, Shang Lin could only think of these two possibilities. However, if the staff of the Underworld Office were alerted, then someone might have died, and not just a simple death.
Not wanting to delay Shang Lin's already short lunch break, She Jinxing said to him, "Sect Master, why don't you rest for a while? If you want to know what happened, I'll ask Lan Xuan when he returns."
In fact, given Shang Lin's often "lazy" personality, he wouldn't care about things that are unrelated to him or their Yuntai Sect. However, the midterm exams in high school still attracted his attention.
So Shang Lin said, "What does Brother Mo know? Why don't you tell me briefly?"
She Jinxing subconsciously looked at Shang Lin. Was the sect leader not going to take a nap? And this wasn't even a matter for their school, so why was he paying attention? This was completely unlike the sect leader's personality!
However, Mo Rong said, "Actually, I don't know the specifics. I only said that during the final exam, some students who usually had poor grades suddenly performed exceptionally well and got almost full marks."
Shang Lin frowned slightly. An exceptional performance was not surprising, since no one knew whether someone had studied hard or received extra tutoring after class. But to perform exceptionally well to the point of almost getting a perfect score was a bit mysterious.
But that was obviously not the point, otherwise the Underworld Office wouldn't have intervened. Sure enough, Mo Rong continued, "But the student suddenly died not long after, and even his soul disappeared."
Although Shang Lin knew that Lan Xuan's involvement would inevitably involve deaths, the way he died... was truly bizarre. He subconsciously said, "Could it be another evil cultivator's doing?"
Shang Lin hadn't thought of "evil cultivators" before, since the only evil cultivators he had seen in the human world were those exorcists, but he had wiped out those monsters. He could only think of it now because Cheng Qiao might be on the path of becoming an evil cultivator.
“Who knows!” Mo Rong sighed slightly. “I’m busy with the ‘Dragon in the East Sea’ project, so I can only find out when Lan Xuan and Chang Feng return. After all, it’s not good to disturb them while they are working.”
