Chapter 510: Smelly Boy, This Old Man Is So Sorry (1/2)

The one who caused trouble should end it. When Bai Xiaofei realized that the news of his ‘death’ had spread throughout the whole academy, he brooded for half a day without coming up with a viable solution before he thought of Lei Shan.

If Bai Xiaofei were to explain this himself, there definitely would be many people asking questions that he, having only one mouth, couldn’t answer; but it would be much easier if Lei Shan stepped out instead. And it just happened that he needed to discuss the grand celebration with Lei Shan as well. Therefore, after resting for a while in the Demon of Illusions, he ran to the principal’s office.

Like the others, Lei Shan was shocked still on the spot upon seeing Bai Xiaofei, letting the cup in his hand fall to the ground.

“You…”

“I know that you all think we were dead, but we aren’t. I suddenly mastered another ability that night and escaped with everyone.” Bai Xiaofei really didn’t want to hear the same question anymore, so he interrupted Lei Shan and briefly described the situation then.

Lei Shan swallowed several mouthfuls, his face still dull. It was as if that besides the matter with Bai Xiaofei still being alive, something else was troubling him.

“Old gramps? Are you listening?” Bai Xiaofei realized that something was wrong and waved his hand in front of Lei Shan’s face.

“Ah! It’s all good! It’s all good as long as you’re back!” Lei Shan’s reaction when he returned to his senses was totally inconsistent with Bai Xiaofei’s imagination.

They all knew that Lei Shan annihilated the Gold Devouring Ants in his wrath over what had happened to Bai Xiaofei. According to common sense, his reaction now should be more explosive than that. So, something was definitely fishy!

However, no matter what, it wasn’t as important as solving the immediate problems, so Bai Xiaofei skipped this for the time being.

“Grandpa, you know why I came.” Bai Xiaofei didn’t say it directly, but this was actually what made Lei Shan nervous.

This boy is not going to condemn me, isn’t he?!

“Why… did you come?” Gulping, Lei Shan’s face was full of tension and his expression looked weirder and weirder.

“The academy’s memorial for me, of course! If you don’t step out now, how am I going to solve this? Now everyone thinks that I’m dead because of the news you brought back. Whenever I go out, someone will ask me why I’m not dead!” Bai Xiaofei grew emotional as he spoke, but Lei Shan’s expression relaxed.

“Ah, so that’s why! Scared me to death…” Lei Shan muttered the last few words, so Bai Xiaofei couldn’t hear them very clearly.

“Grandpa, what did you say?” Bai Xiaofei inquired with a frown.

Bai Xiaofei felt something was more and more off, but he didn’t know what. Still worrying about his own problems, he didn’t delve into it.

“I need you to issue an announcement that there was a mistake during our investigation and we lost contact, but I still went on to lead the group on the mission. After you clarify, I will come forward,” said Bai Xiaofei smoothly as he had already thought of a solution.

“Okay, good! I will do as you say!” Lei Shan snapped his fingers, and there was a muffled thunder outside the window. Moments later, an anxious Chu Qingtian rushed in.

“What’s the matter, Principal! Have you…” Halfway through his words, Chu Qingtian saw Bai Xiaofei, who was turning around to look at him, and was dumbstruck. “You didn’t…”
