"Squad leader, don't let him get away!"
It's still unknown how many Jiangcheng University students are waiting in the crowd.
But Chen Chu couldn't care less about that anymore.
He immediately called for Hai Xin and headed towards the Prince's mansion.
Zhang Tianshi walked in the courtyard, saying he was going to rest, but he didn't go to the tea room at all.
Instead, they ended up at the back gate of the Prince's mansion.
"This trip was worthwhile, hehe. But I didn't go against my conscience. At least I gave them some advice. Whether they listened or not is none of my business."
With a smile on his face, Zhang Tianshi prepared to slip away through the back door.
But his smile froze as he discovered two people standing behind the door.
"Master Zhang, where are you going?"
Hai Xin looked at him, her massive body standing there, completely blocking his way.
"Oh dear, Miss Wang, please move aside! I... I have diarrhea!"
Master Zhang clutched his stomach and tried to push Hai Xin away.
However, Hai Xin remained unmoved and pushed him to the ground with one hand.
Master Zhang looked at Hai Xin with some astonishment, "Miss Wang, with such immense strength, could you perhaps also be a cultivator?"
"What cultivation or anything? You just stay here obediently. You think you can take the money and run?"
After she finished speaking, Hai Xin looked at Chen Chu beside her.
Chen Chu walked up to Zhang Tianshi and asked.
"Judging from what you just said, you seem to know something. Let me ask you, what is it that lures the townspeople?"
Master Zhang frowned. Hai Xin and Chen Chu were together, and it was clear that Chen Chu was in control.
It was just that the young lady seemed very awkward listening to the servant.
"I...I didn't know anything! Please forgive me, I promise I'll never cheat you again..."
Chen Chu snorted coldly, as if he had already seen through Zhang Tianshi.
"You say you're a fraud, but you just said you're a spiritual practitioner. Let me ask you, how does a fraud like you know anything about spiritual practice?"
Zhang Tianshi's expression suddenly turned sour.
"Speak! What do you know? Tell me and I'll let you go. If you don't, then... die!"
As Chen Chu spoke, a green flame suddenly rose in his pupils.
A powerful pressure descended.
Zhang Tianshi felt like a tiny, helpless blade of grass.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything, please don't kill me, Daddy!"
Hai Xin looked at Zhang Tianshi with some suspicion, then at Chen Chu, but she didn't sense anything.
"The events that happened in Tianxing Town actually occurred a long time ago, and they are recorded in our sect!"
Zhang Tianshi behaved very obediently.
"These spirits are evil spirits that have escaped from the underworld. They only come to absorb the life force of living beings. Once they have absorbed enough, they will naturally leave."
"As long as these people stay at home obediently, they will not be easily tainted by these evil spirits."
"Evil spirits from the underworld?"
Chen Chu roughly understood.
This is very similar to the main quest description, where a species from hell has invaded the town.
"Alright, get up. You can stay in the palace for now. I'll call you if I need anything."
"This, this..."
There was a hint of resentment in Zhang Tianshi's eyes; he had just promised to let him leave.
However, Zhang Tianshi was somewhat afraid when facing Chen Chu.
Compared to those spirits, Chen Chucai was more like a monster that had escaped from the underworld.
"Don't worry about him, he won't dare to run away."
Chen Chu was very confident in his aura, which even Uncle Meng had certified, making it very convenient to intimidate people.
Chen Chu led Hai Xin to the front yard. Many of the people had already left, but there were still more than a dozen people waiting at the gate.
These people were not very old, about the same age as Chen Chu and his group.
As soon as Hai Xin arrived, she recognized several people.
"The two Level 1 Awakened from Class 2 are also here, as are Lu Xiuyu, the class monitor from Class 3, Lü Guoguo, and Qi Dacheng from Class 4..."
Hai Xin called out the names of four or five people.
Chen Chu also sensed faint fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from them.
Clearly, all of these people whom Haixin knew were awakened individuals.
“Let them all stay in the Prince’s mansion for now, as temporary workers.”
Before long, the Prince's mansion summoned more than a dozen servants.
Haixin handled this small matter with just a few words.
At this moment, in front of the pigsty of the Prince's Mansion, there were more than a dozen young people dressed in short, coarse cloth clothes.
Not only were there girls inside, but even classmates from Class Two, with whom they had conflicts, were among them.
Four or five girls huddled together, their faces showing some panic.
The boys were supposed to be calmer, but their eyes still betrayed worry and fear.
"We're in big trouble now!"
Most of these dozen or so people were Awakened.
They all revered Lu Xiuyu, the class monitor of Class 3.
Lu Xiuyu got straight to the point, her expression somewhat unpleasant.
"I've tried my best to get my classmates to come over, but I've only found them; I haven't heard from the others."
Hai Xin didn't speak, but Chen Chu spoke up.
"You didn't see anyone else, not a single one?"
Lu Xiuyu found it strange that Chen Chu, an ordinary person, had the right to speak.
Moreover, Hai Xin seems to listen to Chen Chu.
However, Lu Xiuyu didn't dwell on it; now was not the time to worry about such things.
