Honglian becomes extremely gentle and considerate whenever she is around girls.
Xiao He and Wang Xuefeng were able to taste the steak cooked by Honglian thanks to Dai Lele.
"Tell me honestly, what were you doing just now?"
Honglian crossed her arms, narrowed her eyes, and stared intently at Xiao He.
The latter wolfed down his food and stammered, "We just got into trouble."
"Trouble? What kind of trouble?" Honglian asked suspiciously.
Before Xiao He could think of a good answer, Wang Xuefeng blurted out, "We just went to the underground dueling arena. That idiot blew a hole in their roof, so the dueling arena is now exposed."
"What?!" Honglian exclaimed in surprise.
"You, you mustn't tell anyone!" Xiao He hurriedly said.
"Nonsense!" Honglian glared at him. "This is a big deal! Your identities haven't been discovered, have they?!"
"No." The three of them immediately shook their heads.
"Just in case, don't go out for the next few days."
"What about the lecture this afternoon?"
"He's dead," Honglian said crisply.
"Huh??" The three looked at each other in disbelief. "Is it that serious...?"
"The city lord will definitely be furious about this, and since you were the ones who caused this, someone will surely recognize you. Unless it's something serious, don't leave Fiesburg for a while and lay low."
Xiao He paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered something: "Then, I still need to plant trees, right?"
"Just pick a dark and stormy night, bring a shepherd..."
Knock knock knock!
The four people in the conversation shuddered.
"Don't panic! Stay calm!"
After Honglian finished speaking, she got up and went to open the door.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
"Hello, Instructor Honglian, have the new students Wang Xuefeng and Dai Le'er arrived yet?"
"They're here, inside," Honglian pointed.
"Okay, here are their school uniforms, please keep them safe."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
"Wait, I want to ask, why is it so noisy on the street outside?"
"Flying Dragon City is under complete lockdown."
"A city lockdown?! What happened?" Honglian asked knowingly.
"There is reliable information that a cult calling itself the 'Resurrection Cult' has appeared in the city and seems to be plotting against Flying Dragon City."
"What?" Honglian felt increasingly uneasy as she listened.
"Yes, they have occupied most of the underground city, and the underground arena has also been taken over. They also seem to be able to control monsters. Neither of the two advance teams were able to come back up after going down."
"This?" Honglian thought the "cult" he was referring to was Xiao He and his group, but what was going on at the arena?
"It is said that the city lord has also deployed the Flying Dragon Ship, ready to arrange for the evacuation of civilians at any time."
"That serious?!"
Xiao He and the other two looked at each other, realizing that this must not be the same thing.
Isn't that too much of a coincidence?
"Yes, things have just happened, and many issues are still unclear, but the intermediate academy has already received a notice to postpone the start of the semester and is ready to provide support at any time."
"And what about us?"
"It's still pending. If we're short-staffed, we'll need to fill in. So I distributed all the new school uniforms today. The entrance exams have been temporarily closed, and no one will be coming after that."
“This…” Honglian nodded blankly: “Okay, I understand.”
"Then, Instructor Honglian, if there's nothing else, I'll be taking my leave."
"Okay, thank you for telling me that."
"You're welcome. Just reminding the students to be careful."
"I will."
"goodbye."
"goodbye."
Honglian silently closed the door and returned to the three of them with a "thump thump thump".
"Confess!"
"It really wasn't us this time!" the three said in unison.
"It's not likely, I heard they're still at war..." Honglian shook her head.
Xiao He felt inexplicably guilty, and he didn't know where this feeling came from.
"In short, you should all stay home these next few days. Even if a fight breaks out, our junior academy will be the last reserve. Relax and observe for a while. By the time we are needed, this city will be too crowded to accommodate everyone."
Hearing Honglian say this, the three of them could only nod silently.
Afternoon.
Honglian went out to investigate, while Xiao He, feeling utterly bored, leaned back on the sofa and read a book.
Honglian didn't return until evening.
Xiao He walked to the window and looked at the night outside.
"A dark and windy night?"
The sky tonight is shrouded in shadow; it is indeed a dark and windy night.
He did some thinking. There were several trees like that around Fesburg. He could just dig up three of them along with the soil, put them in his system inventory, and then take them over and plant them.
Let's get right to it.
Xiao He rolled up his sleeves and walked out the door.
-
Dormitory Area No. 7.
The streetlights, like the stars in the sky, flickered on and off.
Xiao He drove his Blackbuck at a leisurely pace into the alley.
The building here is not tall, only three floors.
Perhaps due to a notification from the college, the campus roads were unusually quiet today.
Or rather, there's simply no one around at this time.
"Um?"
Xiao He grew increasingly puzzled.
This is dormitory area number seven, right?
Where are the trees?
No, wait, what about the three trees that were uprooted?
Xiao He drove around Zone 7 twice and was 100% certain that every tree there was standing perfectly fine.
"Could it be that a kind senior helped me plant it?"
"Hmm..."
A faint sound came from somewhere.
This is the dormitory area, so it's not surprising to hear voices.
