Even after Cheng Xianyi had run more than a hundred meters away, no one present could react to what had happened. After all, in this era of limited information, who would have thought that hand grenades could have timed versions?
The teacher stared intently at Cheng Xianyi's receding figure, his brow throbbing wildly. It was happening again; that strange, familiar feeling was returning...
The slender figure before me somehow suddenly overlapped with a scene from many years ago.
Boom boom boom!
His heart was pounding, and a cold sweat broke out on the back of the Master.
"Master!!!"
"Professor Lu!!"
It was at this time.
The imposter Zhou Qianyan rushed in in a panic. She glanced around the room, then looked at Cheng Xianyi who was fleeing into the distance. Her face changed drastically, and she cried out in alarm, "How could a grenade be here?!"
"There's definitely something fishy about this grenade, Master! Run!"
“She is not only the head of Chenggui Pavilion, but also Zhou Cheng’s missing fiancée. While they were having a meeting, I led the guards to search the rooms and found the Zhou family’s ancestral jade pendant.”
"That was Zhou Cheng's engagement gift to his fiancée! She is Cheng Xianyi, and we were all fooled by her and Zhou Cheng!"
Since Cheng Xianyi disappeared, Zhou Cheng has spared no expense in searching for her in Yan Kingdom.
The imposter Zhou Qianyan had heard about all the details of what she was wearing, what she was carrying, her portrait, her figure, and her characteristics when she went missing. She had always felt that Cheng Xianyi's figure was familiar.
Until just now.
When she found the well-preserved Zhou family jade pendant in Cheng Xianyi's room, she was shocked to realize that she had misjudged it!
"Damn it!" The Master's pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately turned and rushed towards Cheng Xianyi's direction. Then, in a cold tone, he ordered, "Men, seize this woman!"
"Wh-what? The grenade is a trap? She-she-she... Run!" After realizing what was happening, the people in the east rushed out the door, their faces pale with fright.
At this moment.
Cheng Xianyi stood at a position 500 meters away.
She watched as the teacher and the people from the east ran toward her in fear and anxiety.
The jade pendant she always carried with her was something she deliberately took off and carefully kept in her room, because she didn't know how powerful the explosion would be or whether it would damage the pendant.
I didn't expect Zhou Qianyan to search the house, but it doesn't matter, whether her identity is exposed or not is no longer important.
The important thing is—
Five seconds remained until the agreed-upon time for the explosion with Zhou Cheng.
"Five, four, three..." Even from such a distance, watching Cheng Xianyi's slightly parted lips, everyone in the East felt their scalps tighten, their eyes filled with despair and pain.
two!
one! !
Time's up.
The earth-shattering explosion that should have taken place did not occur.
Everyone covered their heads, waiting for death to come, but the imagined pain did not occur. The five hundred grenades remained there, perfectly intact, without moving an inch.
Turning to look at Cheng Xianyi, who was standing in the distance silently counting down to the explosion, I saw her furrowing her beautiful brows, as if she were very surprised and puzzled, but she quickly calmed down.
Is it invalid?
Or does A-Cheng not believe her?
Or did something unexpected happen?
It doesn't matter. Since we can't get help from outsiders to avenge Ah Cheng, then she can do it herself.
"Whoosh." A dagger flipped and appeared in Cheng Xianyi's left hand.
Upon hearing the order, the guards rushed towards her in full force, each one menacing, numbering at least a hundred.
The Master and the others from the East, who had survived the ordeal, exhaled a breath of stale air, swallowed hard, and glanced back at the unexploded grenade before looking at Cheng Xianyi, who was surrounded.
His eyes were filled with rage and murderous intent: "Capture her alive! We must capture her alive!"
"Whether she's the head of Cheng Gui Pavilion or Zhou Cheng's fiancée, she's definitely up to no good today. She's also the one who eavesdropped last night. I won't be satisfied until I tear her to pieces."
"Miss Zhou, is she really Zhou Cheng's fiancée? Her actions just now clearly indicated that she was waiting for the grenade to explode, but judging from her expression at the end, it seems she made a mistake!"
"Thank goodness she didn't get her way. That bitch, when I catch her, I'll teach her a lesson!"
"Hurry, grab her!"
The Master glared at Cheng Xianyi with a sinister look in his eyes, gave a cold, mocking laugh, and waved his hand at the guards.
Hundreds of guards rushed toward her.
A war in which one fights against a hundred is about to break out.
Without a doubt, from the moment the grenade failed to explode, no matter how capable Cheng Xianyi was, it was impossible for her to break through the encirclement, let alone leave Nanyue Academy alive.
However--
At that moment, a surprising twist occurred.
"Buzzing!!!"
What was that sound?
It sounded like it was coming from thousands of feet in the sky?
Everyone squinted and looked up towards the sky above the sea. What were they seeing? Their eyes narrowed sharply, their faces filled with astonishment and disbelief!
"Buzz buzz buzz—"
“Wow!!!”
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
