Chapter 13 Confrontation



Yu Yue was so tired that she was out of breath. She held onto the door frame and tried to explain, "There must be a misunderstanding..."

Fang Kuida didn't care, and almost burst into tears as he accused Bai Ningning: "She didn't tell us which floor it was, and she pressed the elevator button on every floor, deliberately making us unable to find it. Now she wants to turn the tables and blame the evildoer for complaining first."

Zhuo Yang took the initiative to confess: "I pressed the elevator button, but I also completed the work. Does that mean my merits and demerits are offset?"

Fang Kuida glared at Bai Ningning: "That must have been Bai Ningning's order, otherwise why didn't she stop it?"

The other freshmen were afraid that Lu Yu would have a bad impression of this class, and they didn't want to argue in front of Lu Yu. So they approached Zhuo Yang and Yuan Muyang and asked, "Is there anything we can do?"

Zhuo Yang: "No, I've done what I need to do. It's just hard work. No need to regret."

Yuan Muyang closed his eyes and rested, not interested in all these disputes.

Lu Yu stood up and pushed Bai Ningning back to her previous position. He calmly shielded her from the gazes of others and asked, "What happened before I called?"

Fang Kuida: "Anyway, it's different from what Bai Ningning said. If you don't believe it, you can ask her to confront us."

Lu Yu raised the corners of his lips, his expression amused: "Really? But she didn't say a word, how would I know what she said."

Fang Kuida was dumbfounded: "Didn't she just say she was going to complain?"

Lu Yu felt bored instantly. This idiot neither argued nor apologized, but only questioned him. Calling him a greenhorn was an insult to a greenhorn.

Zhuo Yang sat up and scratched his hair, looking a little uneasy. "It's nothing, actually. I just had some arguments with them, but they blamed it on Uncle Ningning."

He hesitated for a moment, then decided to tell the whole story. "They thought the novice mission was complete and we could return to Qingwei Mountain to turn it in. But Senior-Master Ningning said they wanted to continue investigating along Ma Juan's lead. They said Senior-Master Ningning was trying to freeload on the mission, and I called them idiots. That's pretty much it. I pressed the elevator button, and the elevator system in this building can't cancel it once pressed. I was also the one Senior-Master Ningning said wasn't smart at the beginning."

Lu Yu listened silently and took a picture of the formation and sent it to Lu Shi.

After Zhuo Yang finished speaking, she looked at the freshmen and said, "By 'complaining', I mean filing a complaint on behalf of Ma Xianglian. Is there a problem?"

Lu Yu said, tilting his head towards Bai Ningning, and said in a lighthearted way, "This Chen Shimei also happens to have the last name Cheng."

"The front and back nasal sounds are different. Don't mislead the college entrance examination candidates." Bai Ningning complained subconsciously, paused, and then her tone became surprised. "I found it. Do you think they are the same?"

This is a picture taken secretly by an employee, and it is also blurry. The heroine is sitting in the passenger seat of Cheng Jingwu's car, also wearing glasses and a mask, but it can be seen that it is the same red sweater, even the wavy patterns are exactly the same.

Lu Yu actually couldn't tell the difference, but she believed in Bai Ningning's judgment.

Bai Ningning has been very smart since she was a child, but she has no talent for things related to metaphysics.

Lu Yu asked: "Is there any information about her?"

Bai Ningning: "No, he changes lovers too frequently. People just submit articles for fun and don't care who his new lover is."

The freshmen were dumbfounded. Even a fool could hear that Bai Ningning, whom they looked down upon, was quite useful in Lu Yu's eyes.

Bai Ningning put her phone aside, supported her elbows on her knees, and looked at the floor with her chin in her hand. This was her usual posture when thinking about something.

Bai Ningning said vaguely: "Who wanted to confront me just now? And also wanted to buy drinks?"

Zhuo Yang quickly realized that she had helped Lu Yu find an important clue with her amazing memory and keen observation. She quickly changed sides, her tone unconsciously becoming respectful: "No, I'll buy you a drink! What would you like to drink?"

Bai Ningning was feeling hot: "Give me a bottle of iced Coke, it has to be in a can."

"Okay." Zhuo Yang ran out.

Lu Yu didn't expect him to run so fast, and shouted towards the elevator: "Just buy three bottles, don't buy more!"

Bai Ningning recalled the "grand scene" of herself being surrounded in Cheng Jingwu's office and said, "There must be something under the floor of Cheng Jingwu's office."

The freshmen were stunned and didn't understand what she meant.

Wasn't it said that Bai Ningning's spiritual awareness was still undeveloped? How did she take over the role of commander now...

Yuan Muyang opened his eyes and walked straight to Cheng Jingwu's office, ready to lift the floor.

The freshmen were about to catch up when they heard Lu Yu say, "Everyone, wait a moment."

The freshmen thought she had some instructions and stopped to look at her.

Lu Yu: "Your freshman tasks are complete. You can go back to the hotel, get some sleep, and take the special car back to Qingwei Mountain tomorrow. I don't plan to teach this class of freshmen. I will explain this to the dean when I return, so you don't need to show your presence in front of me."

Yu Yue thought she was standing up for Bai Ningning, so she was the first to give in: "We can apologize to Uncle Ningning."

Lu Yu smiled and said, "This is a matter between you and her. It has nothing to do with me and does not affect any of my decisions."

Yu Yue knew that the situation had reached a point of no return, so he didn't insist and bowed to her: "Thank you for your guidance."

After she finished speaking, she walked towards Cheng Jingwu's office, intending to help Yuan Muyang pry the floor.

The other freshmen followed suit and did the same.

Even the unruly Fang Kuida and the lazy Yao Mao did as they were told.

Yuan Muyang had excellent hearing, so he naturally heard all of this.

He stood in the moonlight, prying a piece of wooden floorboards like he was on a skateboard, and sneered: "Want to be my apprentice? You are not qualified yet."

Yu Yue's mouth twitched: "Misunderstood, we are just here to help."

No matter what, Yuan Muyang is the dean's son, and it's not a bad thing to improve his favorability in front of him.

They have all enrolled in school. If Lu Yu doesn't teach them, he will assign other teachers to teach them. He will never let them drop out.

Only Bai Ningning and Lu Yu were left in the big office.

Bai Ningning suddenly sat up: "Can you tell me about the Peach Blossom Evil?"

Lu Yu: "Simply put, the Peach Blossom Evil feeds on human emotions. It won't kill anyone, but once a person's emotions are devoured, they will become numb, with no joy or sorrow, and even no desire to live. It can be considered an indirect killing."

Bai Ningning picked up her phone and searched for female celebrities with moles behind their ears. After checking, she finally locked on the name "Geng Yiyi".

An actress with great popularity among the public.

Lu Yu was puzzled: "She already has tens of millions of fans, why would she be so careless as to become a mistress for someone like Cheng Jingwu?"

Bai Ningning asked: "Do you think this formation has anything to do with the Peach Blossom Evil?"

Lu Yu thought without hesitation: "No, this formation gathers ghosts together and then makes them devour each other, raising a fierce ghost. But the Peach Blossom Evil does not eat ghosts, and cannot be eaten by ghosts. She has no motive unless there is a huge organization behind her."

Lu Yu paused, thinking for a while before muttering softly, "That's possible. She has so many life-saving magic tools on her. It's hard to believe she collected them all by herself."

Bai Ningning: "Maybe Cheng Jingwu bought it. Cheng Jingwu is too rich."

Lu Yu shook his head slightly: "No, she has a lot of things that are priceless. I almost caught her once, but——"

She hadn't finished her words when she heard a noise at the door.

Zhuo Yang came back with three cans of Coke and placed them on the desk next to Bai Ningning. He asked in confusion, "Where are the others?"

Lu Yu threw a can of Coke to Zhuo Yang and said, "I'm lifting the floor next door. Don't worry about them. Get ready to work. I'll get the ghosts out of the formation. I'll have them line up, and you'll be responsible for the salvation."

Zhuo Yang hesitated: "Should I give a bottle to Uncle Yuan Muyang?"

Lu Yu said with a slight disdain: "Don't worry about him, he doesn't drink Coke or eat junk food."

Bai Ningning gulped down Coke while holding it, and consciously kept a distance from them, ready to watch.

Lu Yu simply and roughly swung his sword to destroy the formation and force the ghosts out.

She was prepared for these ghosts to go berserk and riot, and was ready to kill two of them first to serve as a warning to others.

Unexpectedly, after these ghosts were ejected, they were all stunned, then knelt down in the direction of Bai Ningning and bowed their heads in obeisance: "We pay our respects to the Lord Ghost King."

"?"

Lu Yu and Zhuo Yang looked at Bai Ningning in surprise at the same time.

Bai Ningning couldn't see ghosts, and didn't know what was going on. She looked back in confusion: "What's wrong?"
