Fang Shan felt that it was difficult for the host to remain calm under such gazes. Just by casually glancing at them, he felt that the eyes of these people were like those of wild beasts, who would pounce on him and bite him the next moment.
Wei Sushen seemed completely oblivious to the malicious intent, his tone unusually gentle: "It's still a while before dawn, everyone, take advantage of this time to rest."
The tone of his voice made it seem like he really cared about everyone's mental state.
Without looking at everyone's expressions, Wei Sushen leaned back against the tree again after he finished speaking, closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.
Fang Shan continued to catch a few crickets to fight, and he looked cute and innocent.
Now that things have come to this, they definitely cannot fall out, especially since Wei Sushen just emphasized the phrase 'two seniors and one junior'. Even if they act secretly, the academy will find out soon.
The fat man was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe. A treasure that was worth a fortune, no, it was worth more than a city, was about to be snatched away right before his nose!
Liu Yue and Zhao Tianchen were relatively calm, but their expressions did not look very good.
Except for Wei Sushen, everyone stayed awake all night.
At dawn the next day, Wei Sushen suddenly stood up and stood at the foot of the cliff, looking up at the trees on the edge of the cliff.
The fat man looked sarcastic... Are you regretting this? Why are you pretending to be a saint?
Soon, the sound of many footsteps was heard among the woods.
"Vice President." Zhao Tianchen's voice rose slightly, as if he was surprised that the other party would come here in person, and bowed his head in greeting.
However, the vice president just nodded without saying anything, looking forward.
At the foot of the towering mountain, a handsome and upright young man stood beside a rock, clasping his fists towards the place and saying, "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission."
The wind was very strong in the early morning, making him look quite resolute, as if he had been guarding under the cliff all night. As for why he was guarding and what he was guarding against... that depended on personal consideration.
Because of the incident during the awakening test, the vice president originally had a bad impression of Mo Xiu, but after this incident, his opinion changed drastically.
When he encountered a treasure, he did not think of embezzling it, nor did he try to pass it on to his family, which is enough to prove that this person has a sincere heart.
The fat man was shocked. He thought she was a cold-hearted person, but who would have thought she would be such an iceberg bitch!
In the past, Wei Sushen would have disdained to play this role, but the fact that he has come this far can only be described in four words:
Thanks to the system.
He unconsciously looked at Fang Shan, who noticed his gaze and asked tentatively, "Do you want me to help you shout 666?"
Wei Sushen shook his head to decline his kindness.
Two mentors were left behind to guard the trees, waiting for the fruits to fully ripen.
When you see the good in someone, even the worst of them becomes good, just like the senior instructors at this moment. Since the treasure has been returned to the academy, it will become the academy's resources. Anyone with great achievements in the future may be able to obtain it. This means they also have a chance. Thinking of this, his gaze towards Wei Sushen softened.
On the way back to the academy, few people spoke. The vice-president's authority was so great that even Liu Yue, his disciple, did not dare to offend him.
The fat man's eyes kept darting around, initially hoping Liu Yue would file a complaint and expose Mo Xiu's hypocritical side. Seeing no movement for a long time, he suddenly gave a wry smile... He had misjudged him.
The preconceived idea was too deep. Mo Xiu took the initiative to pass on the message, and when they arrived, he was guarding under the cliff. It would not be an exaggeration to describe him as selfless.
If they spoke up at this time, the vice-president would think that they were profit-driven and would not hesitate to frame students.
All the conspiracies and tricks were rendered useless the moment Mo Xiu took the initiative to report.
After returning to the academy, Wei Sushen went to the mission hall to hand in a mission. The fat man didn't want to spend any more time with him, so he threw the mutated fire spirit beast's corpse over to him and left in a hurry.
Zhao Tianchen's romantic charm was also tainted with a hint of resentment at this moment. Wei Sushen calmly waited for the credits to be counted and left with his hands behind his back.
The atmosphere at the academy remained tense, with everyone busy cultivating their telekinesis. The class placement results would be released today, and many junior students were still sending people around to inquire about them.
Wei Sushen didn't pay too much attention to which instructor he was assigned to. He found a quiet place and looked at Fang Shan thoughtfully: "What do you feel every time you act?"
He really couldn't find anything interesting in it.
Fang Shan held her face in her hands and said without thinking, "I feel so cute."
“…”
Wei Sushen's eyes were complicated... As expected, he would never be able to reach the level of the system throughout his life.
Fortunately, Fang Shan was sober most of the time because he didn't drink. "Zhao Tianchen and Liu Yue, who do you suspect more?"
Before Wei Sushen uttered a single word, Fang Shan had already seen his lip shape: "Be serious, don't say it's because he likes me."
"Not only that," Wei Sushen said, "If Liu Yue had known from the beginning that there was a treasure on the mountain, he wouldn't have had to go to such great lengths to climb up the cliff to check it out."
He paused and said, "Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that he was deliberately putting on an act."
Wei Sushen always thought that only Fang Shan could have such flawless acting skills.
Fang Shan: "Why don't we go meet the campus beauty first?"
Wei Sushen showed his suspicion, thinking that he had other intentions.
Fang Shan's gaze wandered for a moment and then returned to him, pretending to be noble.
Looking at this expression, it's so fake.
Wei Sushen shook his head, but did not refute his opinion. In any case, he should go and meet him.
"You have to find a suitable reason."
Fang Shan: "How about submitting a challenge?"
Wei Sushen's eyes held a rare hint of teasing: "Beauty contest?"
Fang Shan's little thoughts were exposed, and he smiled perfunctorily.
The challenge was eventually delivered to Li Yue, who smiled upon hearing it. As the most beautiful girl in the school, she had many suitors, some of whom tried to attract her attention through various means, while others wanted to defeat her in a competition.
This is my first time competing with others for beauty.
Because of this curiosity, she did not refuse the meeting.
The meeting was originally scheduled for that afternoon, but Wei Sushen was suddenly called to a tutor's place.
This man looked to be in his early thirties, and he seemed very frail, with a pale face, and his natural handsomeness was largely blurred.
Wei Sushen did not show any contempt for him. How could an ordinary tutor occupy an entire floor of space by himself?
The instructor didn't say anything, just stared at him for a long time, then slowly said, "He doesn't seem like a kind person."
Wei Sushen didn't refute a word.
"It's strange that you would actually hand over such a precious artifact to the academy," the instructor muttered, then suddenly said, "Summon your nightmare and let me see it."
Fang Shan's appearance brought with it a flashing effect. The indoor light was already dim, and his colorful effect was so obvious that the other two people's eyes could hardly bear it.
"Hello." Fang Shan hid behind Wei Sushen. If you didn't know, you would think she was shy.
The instructor's eyes moved back and forth between Wei Sushen and Fang Shan. Fang Shan said with a smile, "Are you trying to say they're a good match?"
The instructor laughed coldly, it was more than just a good match, it was a perfect match!
"You will learn from me in the future."
Wei Sushen raised an eyebrow. For a moment, he couldn't figure out what the man in front of him was up to. First, he made it clear that he was not a pushover, and then he presented himself as a teacher.
"You have great potential. Don't get too distracted by other things. Focus on improving your telekinesis."
Wei Sushen nodded. This was also a very important part of his plan.
As a nightmare, Fang Shan could speak without hesitation about what Wei Sushen was not comfortable asking: "What do you like about him?"
The instructor pointed to his head and said, "Actually, I originally just wanted to see which person with a weak brain would donate this treasure to the academy."
A little merit, the vice-president's attention... Compared with real treasures, intangible things are of little value, so it's no wonder that the vice-president treats it differently.
"He's not the only one."
Now it was the instructor's turn to be surprised: "Are there others?"
As he spoke, he pulled out a piece of paper from under a pile of books. It was a torn letter of praise.
Fang Shan leaned over curiously. It described a selfless act of submission. It was posted on the college bulletin board. When they'd passed by earlier, it was crowded, but the two of them hadn't bothered to squeeze in. They'd only heard compliments.
The instructor held the paper very close to him, which made Fang Shan suspect that he was nearsighted.
"Found it."
The sudden sound startled everyone.
Fang Shan looked over and saw a sentence in the letter of praise that read: Thanks to the dedication of students like Mo Xiu, the college has gained...
Fang Shan did not read the following words carefully, the word "etc." was used very subtly.
The tutor raised his head and glanced at Wei Sushen with an intriguing expression.
Wei Sushen let her look at him, and after a while, he asked, "Is it beautiful?"
“…”
Wei Sushen gradually began to realize that occasionally learning to speak systematically was indeed very beneficial.
At least when there's nothing more to say, you can end the conversation with just a few words. The instructor waved his hand, and as they left, the sky outside darkened even further.
Fang Shan: "He must be a powerful person."
Wei Sushen heard that he was evaluating his tutor and nodded slightly.
Fang Shan: "Being his student is good, it will help me complete the mission."
Now, it is still a long way to go before I can be number one on the Heavenly Ranking.
Fortunately, the number one position on the Heavenly Ranking is not so much a ranking of strength as it is a measure of merit. Although in most cases, the higher the strength, the more merit points, but this is not always the case.
Fang Shan: "It's crucial to catch the academy's spy. If we're lucky, we can follow the clues and catch the evil leader. That would be a leap to heaven."
It's easy to say, but they both know how difficult it is to put it into practice. If it were that easy, everyone would have been a hero.
As he was speaking, a young man walked towards him. Wei Sushen frowned slightly. When he first arrived, his family had sent this young man to bring him a potion to increase his telekinesis.
Judging from the other person's appearance, it seemed like he was coming towards me.
After thinking about it, I could probably guess the reason. It was probably because the news of the treasure offering had reached the family, causing dissatisfaction.
Everyone wants something that can produce mutations.
Fang Shan didn't see any worry in his expression and jokingly said, "Host, aren't you worried about being questioned?"
Wei Sushen: "At least a name was left behind."
Fang Shan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Fatty and the others only received the word "wait". In comparison, the host could be considered pretty good.
No, it should be excellent.
