“Hey, Lingling, guess who we bumped into when we came back from the washroom?”

The two girls sitting in front of Chen Yizhen and Zhu Ling looked excited.

“Who?”

Zhu Ling stopped writing and asked faintly.

“Senior Pei from Year Three!”

The female classmate smiled and said, “He’s so handsome. However, another senior has transferred to our school this year. He’s Senior Pei’s friend. He’s even more handsome than Senior Pei!”

It was a girl’s nature to like handsome men, and Zhu Ling was no exception.

She widened her eyes and asked, “Really? He’s more handsome than Senior Pei? What’s his name?”

“I don’t know yet, but he’s so handsome.. We should know his name soon. I’ll ask on Tieba.”

The school Tieba was something good. Although Lu Sheng had never attended school, as a 16G netizen, she knew about it.

However, she already had someone in her heart and was not interested in other handsome men, let alone understand them.

She only had two wishes now. One was to earn money, and the other was to wait for Chu Sihan.

“Jiang Jing, what rank are you now?”

A male classmate walked over and asked interestedly when he saw the game she was playing.

“King.”

Lu Sheng glanced at the boy and replied faintly.

“Wow, your hand speed is so fast.”

Seeing Lu Sheng kill the enemy in one shot, the male classmate could not help but exclaim.

Seeing Lu Sheng fall silent again, he tried to find a topic to talk about. “Hey, Jiang Jing, how many stars do you have?”

“Eighty.”

Lu Sheng replied without lifting her head.

“Eighty?!”

The boy was stunned. Then, he asked, “Did you play it yourself?”

When she heard that, a sound of victory came from Lu Sheng’s phone.

Lu Sheng exited the game and kept her phone. She nodded slightly.

“Then… Can you bring me along?”

“No.”

The rejection was simple.

Lu Sheng had married before, so how could she not tell what this boy was thinking?

This child was only in his teens. If he knew her real age, his jaw might drop.

This child should focus on studying now.

It was a good thing that she refused to bring him to play games.

The rejected boy felt a little embarrassed, but did not say anything else. Instead, he scratched his nose and returned to his seat.

Her phone on the desk suddenly vibrated. Lu Sheng took it out and realized that Lu Zhou had sent her a WeChat message saying that he would come over tonight.

After replying with an ‘okay’ emoticon, she glanced at the time and turned her phone to silent mode.

The second class was English.

“Good morning everybody!”

A pleasant female voice was heard from the door.

When everyone looked up, they saw a slender, fair-skinned, long-haired woman walk in.

“Good morning teacher!”

“Hello, everyone. My surname is Zeng and I’m your English teacher. You can call me Miss Zeng.”

As she spoke, the female teacher casually wrote the word ‘Zeng’ on the blackboard.

“It’s this Zeng.”

The students nodded and noted it down.

Lu Sheng blinked and realized that this English teacher was the English teacher she had seen in Year Three, Class One previously.

It turned out that teachers could teach Year Threes and Year Ones at the same time.

She could only blame herself for not attending school before and not knowing these.

“Let’s introduce ourselves first. If your English is good, you can introduce yourself in English.”

Zeng Yan’s gaze landed on the first student in the first row. She smiled and pointed. “Let’s start with this student.”

“Teacher, do I have to go to the rostrum?” the student asked as he stood up.

“No need. Just stand up and introduce yourselves.”

“Hello, Teacher. My surname is Hu, and my name is Hu Xinggan.”

“Snort—”

Someone suddenly burst into laughter. In the end, the entire class could not help but laugh.

Lu Sheng was also amused by this name. That classmate was a boy. Seeing everyone smile, he seemed to be used to it.

He calmly explained, “The Xing is from happy and the Gan is from daring.”

Zeng Yan smiled and said, “An interesting name. Next.”

The students in front introduced themselves. When it came to Lu Sheng, everyone suddenly became quiet and looked over.

Lu Sheng stood up hesitantly and nodded at Zeng Yan. “Hello, Teacher. My name is Jiang Jing. The Jiang is from river and the Jing is a combination of green and the female character.”

“Hey, have we met before?”

Zeng Yan looked at Lu Sheng and suddenly felt that she was familiar.

Lu Sheng explained, “A week ago, I passed by the class of Year Three, Class One. Teacher, you were having class inside.”

Zeng Yan was suddenly enlightened. She hurriedly smiled and teased, “No wonder I thought you looked familiar. So you’re the pretty girl who passed by the window!”

Lu Sheng smiled.

“Sit down quickly. We’re starting class.”

Perhaps because Zeng Yan was good-looking and amiable, this English class passed quickly.

At five in the afternoon, after class, Lu Sheng received a call from Lu Zhou asking her to go to Principal Gao’s office.

Lu Sheng did not return to the dormitory. Instead, she went to Principal Gao’s office.

When she passed by the court, she realized that a group of boys were playing ball. A group of boys and girls surrounded them and shouted from time to time.

“Senior Pei is so handsome!”

A familiar scream was suddenly heard. Lu Sheng raised her eyebrows and looked over. She saw Zhu Ling holding Chen Yizhen’s hand and two girls sitting in front of her shouting outside the net.

Lu Sheng looked at the people on the court and realized that they were all running around in their jerseys. As to which one was Senior Pei, she did not know.

Pei Yan pulled Chu Yan over forcefully and sat for a while. His head hurt from the screams.

The girls beside him even took out their phones to take pictures of him from time to time, which made him very unhappy.

He was about to leave Pei Yan, who was playing cool on the court, when he saw a familiar figure.

The figure stopped outside for a while before leaving. Looking in the direction, she was heading towards the classroom office.

He lowered his gaze and followed her.

After walking for a while, Lu Sheng felt that someone was following her. However, she thought that this was the campus and there might be students walking behind, so she did not pay much attention.

Chu Yan followed her up to the second floor. When he realized that she had entered the principal’s office, he frowned slightly.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to walk over and take a look.

When he passed by, he realized that besides Principal Gao, there were two unfamiliar men inside.

The two men exuded an extraordinary aura. One could tell that they were not ordinary people.

The girl he was following was sitting beside one of the men. They seemed to be chatting, but because he walked too quickly, he did not hear them clearly.

In the office, Lu Zhou, who was speaking to Principal Gao, suddenly paused.

He looked out the door and stood up to go out. He looked around the corridor.

However, he realized that there was no one else in the corridor except for two teachers who were preparing to get off work.

The inexplicable sense of familiarity from before had long disappeared.

He frowned slightly. “Was I wrong?”

“Mr. Lu, what’s wrong?”

Principal Gao looked at him suspiciously.

Lu Sheng and Shangguan Dian also looked at him suspiciously.

“Nothing.”

Lu Zhou shook his head and walked back to his seat. He continued discussing the school building in the south with Principal Gao.

“Miss Jiang, you’ve been there before, right? Did you find anything?”

Principal Gao looked at Lu Sheng and asked softly.

Lu Sheng shook her head and said, “Although I didn’t find anything, I was almost pushed down the stairs. It’s obvious that that thing is still lingering there.”

Her cultivation was not shallow now, but she could not see that thing with the naked eye. One could imagine that it was definitely a powerful character.

“What?” Principal Gao’s face paled. “Miss Jiang, you’re saying that the four people who jumped off the building previously didn’t commit suicide but were pushed down by that thing?”

Lu Sheng said calmly, “We can’t rule out the possibility that they committed suicide.”

Principal Gao nodded in a trance and looked at Lu Zhou. “Mr. Lu, please find that thing and chase it out of our school. After all, this is the future of our country!”

Lu Zhou smiled and nodded. “Don’t worry, Principal Gao. I’ll definitely settle it for you.”

Principal Gao nodded. “I’ve already reserved a table of dishes and wine in a restaurant near the school gate. Why don’t we talk elsewhere?”

The three of them nodded at the same time and followed Principal Gao downstairs.

At this moment, the sky had darkened and the solar lights in the school had started to light up.

There was only a ray of evening light in the west. There were still students playing on the court, but only a few spectators were left.

It seemed like the main character had left.

“Look, isn’t that Jiang Jing from our class?”

Zhu Ling and the rest, who had just come out of the dining hall, happened to see Lu Sheng walking beside Lu Zhou.

Chen Yizhen glanced at Lu Zhou and exclaimed, “Wow, that’s her brother, right? He looks so similar!”

“Who’s that?” Zhou Mei, who was sitting at the table in front of Chen Yizhen, pointed at Shangguan Dian and said, “I’ve seen the suit he’s wearing in a fashion magazine before. It’s a limited edition in the world. It’s said that there are only two sets. Moreover, one costs more than four hundred thousand yuan.”

Zhu Ling frowned, her expression sour.

Ignoring the man’s suit, even Jiang Jing’s seemingly simple clothes cost at least six figures.

It seemed like Jiang Jing’s family background was not simple.

And…

If she remembered correctly, the middle-aged man walking in front should be the principal of their school.

“Who is this Jiang Jing?” Zhou Mei’s deskmate, Lan Jia, asked.

“Who knows?” Zhu Ling snorted coldly. “What’s the use of having money? If she has heart disease, she might not have such a long life to enjoy.”

Chen Yizhen subconsciously frowned. “Zhu Ling, it’s not appropriate to say that, right?”

“Oh, forget about her.”

Zhou Mei held Zhu Ling’s arm and smiled. “Let’s return to the dormitory quickly. The food will turn cold soon.”

Zhu Ling snorted coldly and shook off Zhou Mei’s hand before walking ahead.

Zhou Mei looked at Chen Yizhen awkwardly. Chen Yizhen sighed and followed Zhu Ling silently.

Zhou Mei and Lan Jia looked at each other and hurried after them.

On the other hand, after Lu Sheng, Lu Zhou, and Shangguan Dian had dinner with Principal Gao in a restaurant outside the school, they bade Principal Gao farewell and went straight to the school building in the south.

“Oh, it’s quite interesting.”

Lu Sheng had just opened the door when Shangguan Dian suddenly spoke.

“Uncle Shangguan, did you see that thing?”

Shangguan Dian said, “It’s a thousand-year-old Mei. No wonder you can’t see it.”

Meis were a type of ghosts. However, they usually lived in the mountains and forests. Why was this Mei in the city?

“Why would the Mei come here?” Lu Sheng was puzzled.

“There are always exceptions.”

Shangguan Dian sized up the surroundings and continued speaking to Lu Sheng. “It might have been hiding here previously. The school must have angered it when it was building this school building, so it maliciously took revenge.”

Lu Zhou looked at Shangguan Dian and yawned. “I’ll leave that to you.”

“Okay.”

Without another word, Shangguan Dian tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and leaped up, reaching the roof in an instant.

Lu Zhou casually set up a boundary around him. After a while, a strange scream was heard.

Two black figures jumped down from the roof. Shangguan Dian threw something onto the ground.

“This is it.”

Lu Sheng glanced at the thing and realized that her hair was long and her face was pale. Her eyes were blood red, and her mouth was slightly red. Her nails were long and red.

She was staring at the three of them fiercely.

“Did you kill those four people?” Lu Sheng asked.

“So what if it’s me?” The Mei widened her eyes and said fiercely, “They wanted to die themselves. I just helped them.”

Unlike ordinary people, when this Mei spoke, she sounded like a ghost. It made one uncomfortable.

However, the three of them were used to it.

Lu Sheng frowned. “Let’s not talk about the other three for now. Where’s that security guard? He doesn’t want to die, right?”

“Him? Hahaha—”

The Mei laughed maniacally and said, “Who asked him to be greedy for beauty? I just transformed into that female teacher and spoke to him. Then, he followed me in. He courted death himself.”

Lu Zhou clicked his tongue. “You obviously seduced him on purpose. Now, you even said that he was courting death. How arrogant.”

“So what?” That Mei smiled coldly. “He was the one who coveted beauty and willingly became my food. Who can he blame?”

“I can’t be bothered to bicker with you.”

Lu Zhou looked at Lu Sheng and said calmly, “Disciple, lend me your talisman.”

Lu Sheng nodded and passed him a talisman.

“What do you want to do?”

When the Mei saw the talisman in Lu Zhou’s hand, she retreated in fear.

“What do you think?”

Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow at her and spoke faintly.

“Who… who are you—”

Before the Mei could finish speaking, she was sucked into the talisman by a force.

After Lu Zhou kept it, he clenched his hands and the talisman turned to ashes.

“So vicious?” Shangguan Dian clicked his tongue.

“This thing has obviously harmed a lot of people. If we keep it, something might happen in the future. So, it’s better to destroy it directly.”

Lu Zhou clapped his hands and said to the two of them, “It’s getting late. Let’s go.”

The three of them stepped out of the door. Lu Sheng locked it before leaving.

“Master, since everything is done, can I leave?” Lu Sheng asked.

“Why?” Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow. “Is school life bad?”

Lu Sheng hesitated and said, “It’s not that it’s not good. I’m just not used to it.”

Lu Zhou said disapprovingly, “Then get used to it slowly.”

Lu Sheng was speechless.

This mission was just an excuse. Did her master want her to experience school life?
