Chapter 78 Water Ghost Demon
"Forget it, let's pack up and leave first, we can figure it out when we have time."
Meimei withdrew her hand.
After tidying up, the group left with Shen Nian'an.
I thought we were going to the boys' dormitory, but we ended up in the teaching building instead. The small classrooms were almost full of people.
A dozen girls sat together, and Gu Yunxi felt her face burning hot, as if she were about to die.
The main thing is the look in these people's eyes—a look of inquiry, a look of doubt, and even more of curiosity!
Jiang Xubai stood up and introduced himself. It turned out that there were two class monitors in this class, one male and one female, and he was the male class monitor!
She was very outgoing and had a very easygoing personality, while the other boys were more shy.
Everyone introduced themselves, including where they came from and their names, and that was it—we got to know each other!
Gu Yunxi looked at the class group chat; almost all of the thirty-odd people had joined.
To be honest, she didn't want to have too much contact with these people.
Coming to university is really just about getting a diploma. I listened to the two class monitors rambling on and on, trying to get everyone to get to know each other, both male and female.
She looked down at her phone, letting her family know she was safe.
Gu Yunlang felt like something was missing after not spending a day with his sister.
He had also gotten used to going out with his sister, and if it weren't for his age, he would really like to go back to university.
"Third brother, now that your sister is going to university and Yan'er is starting school next week, shouldn't you go out and find some work?"
Gu Feng crossed his legs, glancing at his phone, seemingly in a good mood, as it was rare for him to sit with the others.
"Old Gu, how have you been at work lately? Are you settling in well?" Liu Zheng asked, looking at him.
"It's alright, but your finance manager seems a bit disobedient. I'm thinking we should try replacing her!"
"You can't touch those key positions, and don't put useless people in there. The company doesn't support idle people."
"Um!"
Gu Feng seemed completely unconcerned. Now, everything in the Gu family, including the Liu Group, was under his control.
Why should he be afraid?
Liu Zheng knew what he was planning: to play the long game and catch a big fish, and to deal with that husband and daughter slowly.
...
It was already dark when they came out of the classroom. They ate something in the cafeteria and then decided to take a good stroll around the campus.
It's too hot to go out during the day, but it feels much cooler at night.
Actually, other students will be starting school soon too, and you can see many upperclassmen on the tree-lined roads.
Gu Yan is also at this school, but she rarely lives on campus. Even when school is in session, she is picked up and dropped off by several older brothers or drivers every day!
Now that I'm here, my older brothers haven't said anything as outrageous as you described.
He seems to really like his younger sister; the university must be incredibly lively.
Passing by Yihai, which is actually an artificial lake, several pavilions have been built around it, and a lot of flowers and plants have been planted.
The group sat under the pavilion, enjoying the gentle breeze. Aside from a few mosquitoes, it was a nice place to relax after studying.
The lake water blowing over it felt somewhat eerie. Gu Yunxi glanced at the time: nine o'clock in the evening!
She picked up a pebble and threw it into the lake!
The demon at the bottom of the lake opened her eyes. She touched her forehead in pain, wondering who could have hurt her.
She released her divine sense, but unexpectedly it was suppressed by a powerful force.
A spiritual practitioner?
How is this possible? How could there be cultivators in this world? I've been sleeping at the bottom of the lake for several years, and it seems I'm being controlled by this place, with no way to escape.
So, I'm saved.
"Go back, it's late, too late, lest you attract some unclean things."
Gu Yunxi blurted out such a sentence, and the three roommates looked at each other. Could it be that there was something unusual around here?
Tao grabbed Gu Yunxi's arm, and the group ran towards the dormitory.
I lay in bed, and the lights were turned off not long after; it was almost midnight.
Gu Yunxi faintly heard a voice: Master, Master!
So annoying!
Those of us shouldn't have gone there tonight. Now look what's happened. We've only just arrived at university, barely settled in, and this has already happened.
Gu Yunxi drew the bed curtains and appeared by the sea in a flash.
There was no one around at this point.
"Did you contact me?"
A head popped out of the lake. It was a woman... no, to be precise, a female ghost. She was wearing sportswear, her hair was tied up high, and her face was deathly pale.
Judging from her appearance, she was a beautiful girl when she was alive.
With a wave of her hand, Gu Yunxi sent her flying out of the water, where she stood directly beside him.
"Chen Yaoyao greets the Master!"
Gu Yunxi sat down directly under the pavilion. "Why are you looking for me in the middle of the night instead of staying put?"
Chen Yaoyao knelt directly in front of her, "Master, I have been trapped here for four or five years. My body has been taken back by my family for burial, but my soul is forever imprisoned here."
I want revenge. I want to expose the evil deeds of those villains, but I lack the power. I sink to the bottom of the sea, burdened by resentment, waiting for the day when my cultivation is high enough to break free and seek revenge on the wicked!
"Tell me in detail what exactly happened. If everything you say is true, I will definitely seek justice for you."
Chen Yaoyao slowly explained that she had studied finance and never expected to be admitted to this university.
After all, she was a girl with above-average grades in high school. Unexpectedly, she performed exceptionally well in the college entrance examination and was successfully admitted to Jiangcheng University, where she studied finance, a major that is relatively friendly to girls.
At that time, she was full of curiosity and countless dreams about university.
I plan to study hard in university, try to get more scholarships, find a good job after graduation, and then bring my parents to the big city so that our family can live together.
Unexpectedly, reality was so despairing. Her family was not wealthy to begin with, and she only realized how far things were from what she had imagined after she went to university!
The girls stay in the dorm and don't study; they talk about clothes, beauty, and even boys all day.
There was even a girl in their dorm who wasn't as well-off as them, but she would buy new clothes or skincare products every now and then, making herself look beautiful.
In my roommate's words, university is just a threshold that can filter out many people. If you dress yourself up nicely, you can attract the attention of the opposite sex. Then you can pick a good one, marry him, and your life will be over.
After all, it's better to marry well than to study well!
When Chen Yaoyao asked her why she had so much money to spend, her roommate mysteriously told her that it was from part-time jobs introduced by senior students, and there was even a special part-time job group.
He also deliberately told her that most of the part-time job postings in the stairwell were scams and warned her not to fall for them.
Chen Yaoyao was itching to join, so at her roommate's urging, she also joined that so-called part-time job group.
