Chapter 391 Soul-Suppressing Talisman
Qin Feiyu immediately unleashed a yellow talisman.
"Get the hell out here!"
The wind was silent, drifting past the yellow talisman stained with cinnabar, and quietly dissipating into the air.
The lake remained calm, without a ripple.
It was as if it were just an ordinary breeze, carrying moisture from the lake, which made it feel a bit chilly.
Qin Feiyu held a yellow talisman between his index and middle fingers, his posture upright and his back straight, exuding masculine energy.
Just as he was about to shout again, he caught a glimpse of Lin Jinfan's surprised expression from the corner of his eye. He quickly put away the talisman, shut his mouth, and glanced around.
"Nobody's passing by, is they?"
"Did the younger students see me looking like a charlatan, so disrespectful to poetry and literature?"
The student council president, a well-read scholar and a role model for the student assembly, is actually superstitious.
If this gets out, it will be terrible!
Lin Jinfan knew that Qin Feiyu cared most about his dignity. He didn't care about appearances in private, but he had to maintain a proper demeanor in public, for fear of leaving a bad impression on his juniors that he was unworthy of his position.
Aside from close friends and acquaintances, this is the first time I've ever done something so image-damaging.
As the second attempt was about to begin, he truthfully informed the reporter, "The school security team just passed by."
"What!!!"
Qin Feiyu instantly withdrew his outstretched hand and talisman, and quickly looked around.
"Where is it!...Wait, didn't I tell the school security team to patrol the perimeter to prevent younger students from accidentally wandering into Summer Moon Lake? Who dares to come in?"
At the moment Qin Feiyu offered the paper money, Lin Jinfan did see a figure walking along the path in the woods.
But now: "They're gone."
"That's good, that's good! You scared me to death!"
Qin Feiyu patted his chest and wiped away imaginary cold sweat from his forehead with the yellow talisman. Clearly, the younger students were more terrifying than the things in the lake. He used the talisman to pray for help.
"I don't care what you are, get out here right now! Since three years of lake water can't wash away your resentment or cleanse your sins, and you still want to harm people instead of reflecting on your actions, then may your soul be scattered to the winds!"
A voice full of masculine righteousness pierced into Summer Moon Lake, but the lake remained dark and silent.
Only the rustling of fallen leaves by the lake echoed in response.
The moonlight was cold and desolate, with only a few stars. The scattered light shone on the lake's surface, refracting into an eerie, mirror-like reflection.
The mirror reflects the clouds in the night sky that don't resemble clouds, separated by a vast sky above and a deep abyss below.
The lake surface, however, was as still as a cold pool.
There was nothing there.
Qin Feiyu frowned and shook the cinnabar talisman in his hand: "What's going on? Why isn't it reacting at all? Could it be expired?"
Lin Jinfan looked at the yellowed talisman in his hand, its slightly worn color, and felt it wasn't very good.
"Where did you find this?"
Qin Feiyu glanced around, then leaned closer and said mysteriously, "It came from the last page of the secret file."
"Legend has it that three years ago, after the high monk used magic to suppress Summer Moon Lake, he left it behind for unforeseen circumstances. I have spoken with the higher-ups, and we will use it when necessary."
However, it seemed to be of no use at all; no scene of boundless magical power appeared.
It's a shame the last page was locked.
They treat their babies like royalty!
Is that all?
Qin Feiyu felt a chill run down his spine under Lin Jinfan's gentle, harmless, and seemingly innocent gaze.
"It may need to be torn open to be effective."
Lin Jinfan felt he was somewhat obsessed: "The principal wants to talk to you tomorrow, don't drag me into it."
Qin Feiyu decisively let go: "The talisman was left by the great monk, so it's definitely safe. It's probably just that the filth in the lake was injured by Treasure Sister's magic weapon."
Last night they rushed over, and before they even got close to the lake, they saw a flash of golden light in the distance.
Although fleeting, it illuminated the entire night, revealing directions to the forest path.
That way they can arrive faster.
Lin Jinfan gazed at the calm, still lake, his gentle eyes slightly narrowed, lost in thought.
"This treasure girl must have some blessed magical artifact on her!" Qin Feiyu was about to discuss with Lin Jinfan whether this treasure girl had a powerful protector when he turned around and saw a figure that had appeared behind him at some point, and he was stunned.
His subconscious reaction in front of others was to decisively retract the talisman and quickly fold it into his palm.
"Yun, it's so late, are you just passing by? Or are you just passing by?"
Yun Ruolin, dressed in a white dress, walked slowly down the sparsely lit path, which looked somewhat eerie. However, the exquisite oil lamp she carried and the polite smile on her face, as always, added a touch of human warmth to her appearance.
Her voice was gentle and pleasant as she spoke: "Just passing by."
A campus beauty of her caliber attracts attention even if she's not in the same department.
Qin Feiyu had naturally heard that Yun Ruolin's dormitory was not located here.
There's no need to take the road through Summer Moon Lake.
But it's not impossible to go, it's just a bit of a detour.
"Yun also lives in the dormitory?" Lin Jinfan asked, filling in the gaps in Qin Feiyu's suddenly lost memories.
Qin Feiyu was stunned for a moment, then finally realized: "Oh right! You don't seem to live in the dorms. It's so late, aren't you going home?"
Yun Ruolin glanced casually at Xia Yue Lake under the night sky, her expression and tone remaining unchanged.
"A friend from my dorm is looking for me."
After saying that, he changed the subject: "Student Lin, are you here at Summer Moon Lake for a walk so late at night?"
Everyone knows what happened at Xia Yue Lake these past two days.
However, everyone likes to play dumb.
Lin Jinfan turned his gaze away from the lake and glanced at the trees behind Yun Ruolin: "Just passing by."
Yun Ruolin paused for a moment, taken aback by the response to her own words, before smiling.
"I thought Lin was here to seek justice for Bai Lu."
As soon as she finished speaking, a girl slowly appeared on the pitch-black forest path and walked gracefully toward the lake. She was probably the dormitory friend that Yun Ruolin had mentioned.
Qin Feiyu stared blankly at Yun Ruolin's departing figure, "Does she know a little too much?"
"Or rather, is her suspicion or guess a little too accurate?"
"The key point is, she looks a bit like a hidden gem!"
Lin Jinfan corrected: "Back view".
Without even glancing at it, he went straight to the point. Qin Feiyu was stunned: "Do you know Yun Ruolin? Do you compare Yun Ruolin and the treasure sister eight hundred times a day? When did you start doing that? I didn't know!"
"No wonder, you could tell the difference without even looking... Hey! Don't go! Wait, things aren't settled yet, the Soul-Suppressing Talisman hasn't been used!"
"I'll use it another day."
"That's true, we don't need it now. Wait, why did it suddenly get cold? Wait for me..."
...
Bai Lu never imagined that she would run into Yun Ruolin at school, let alone as a classmate.
After all, in her previous life, Yun Ruolin had already graduated with an MBA when she applied for the position of chief secretary at Xiao Cheng Group.
The university I graduated from was not a university in Guangdong Province.
"What a coincidence, Bai Lu." Yun Ruolin greeted her first, since the cafeteria was already full.
She wanted to sit opposite Bailu and politely asked, "May I sit here?"
