Volume 3 Chapter 6 (2/2)
It was a fa his peripheral vision without turning a hair, hand slowly rip a protective seal he had prepared beforehand The moment there was any movement frolass, its skull-like face continuously peeking into the house It then moved towards the , about to fly in
Then, the instant the insect passed through the , a tiny firework flashed, and the entire blew up into pieces In just a short few seconds, it finished burning, not even ashes left behind
Kaido stared blankly at it What just happened?
He turned his head to gaze out the here in the distance, another fa over to the
“Tan Hua!” Kaido shouted
Tan Hua, who had been in the wards heard her master’s calls and immediately appeared
“What is that?!” He pointed to the falanced out the , and her expression changed, “That is Jun Sui, the Third Prince’s subordinate!”
“There was another insect that tried to fly in and was i could have just been a scout, destroying it s more troublesome!”
“What?” Tan Hua was be—”
The second insect flew in, and was attacked by the invisible barrier as well
Tan Hua stared, “This was not done byprotective barrier…”
She hadn’t even able to sense such powerful wards placed on the house… The Summoner that had placed this kind of barrier would be exceptionally powerful
Had Feng Ping Lan placed it?
Tan Hua was too occupied to think about it, because she then saw a black cloud in the distance, approaching the residence at astonishi+ng speed It was a shadow ether
Tan Hua i on the blinds
“What was that?”
“I presuroup…” She had heard Dongya say, they had escaped to the human world to hide from the Third Prince, and they were still on the search for Prince Shuekan
Kaido frowned, he re the Third Prince and Quetzal when he had been interrogating him
The Prince Quetzal served under seeet rid off as quickly as possible
But hadn’t they alreadyLan? No matter what sort of person they had served before this, after beco them to the Underworld would be cut off Just like Tan Hua
Why were Feng Ping Lan’s Contracts still connected with the Underworld? He had thought after the incident with Jiu Shao, the association would step in to handle it, but it see Lan, just what kind of secrets are you hiding?
Kaido’s eyebrows furrowed, “With these many familiars, won’t the existence of the school be discovered?”
“The Shadow Academy is protected by the Summoners, the protective barriers and evasion spells are watertight There will be no proble within the school is incredibly safe” Tan Hua paused for a moment, “But after school ends…”
“We can’t let them return!” Kaido clenched his teeth
He had experienced Jiu Shao’s capabilities beforehand Jiu Shao, in order to make him spit out information, had softened his blows somewhat, but it had still made Kaido suffer quite a lot
If the Third Prince’s people found out about Quetzal and the others’ existence, just what sort of personnel would be sent out? Would they be able to defend against the siege?
Kaido bit down on his lip, sinking into deep thought
He had to contact Feng Ping Lan But how did he contact hi at the phone placed on his desk, Kaido’s frown deepened
He didn’t have Feng Ping Lan’s contact nue phone numbers before this, but he had immediately rejected hiive himself a punch
There was only one option left
Although this , he had no other choice
Forget it! He took up the phone, scrolling to the string of numbers that hadn’t been stored in his records, then pressed the call button
Tan Hua blinked disbelievingly at him at the side
She had never seen this side of Kaido before, this side of Kaido that orrying for so— A tiny sound followed by a vibration, rang through the classroom
The students beneath the podiu which brave soul dared to let his phone ring during class advisor’s lesson
Yin Su Shuang frowned deeply but did not stop the class, just slowly putting a hand into his pocket to stop the ringing
So it was Class Advisor’s phone… The students beneath the podiu— the ringing sounded out again
Yin Su Shuang was slightly surprised, his sentence pausing a little
All his acquaintances knew he refused all his calls when he orking, and anyone who called would need to be prepared for a scolding
He then reached in to end the call without even looking again, but it rang again not even two seconds later The caller h the students beneath the podium were very curious, no one dared to ask They could only secretly anticipate a brave warrior risk his life to speak out, to dispel the others’ confusion
“Class Advisor, aren’t you going to pick up?” Feng Ping Lan raised his hand to question, “Could it be your girlfriend? It et dumped if you don’t pick up soon, hahaha!”
A brave warrior had appeared!
“Class Advisor has a girlfriend?”
nobody could iloo
“Could it be theyred envelopes fro…”
The students below started a cohed heavily, “Quiet” He i at the screen, his eyes flashed with some astonishment
He was silent for aa call— stay silent, don’t letthis, he walked out
After answering the call, the person on the other side spoke hesitatingly after a few seconds, “This is Kaido…”
“I know” He hadthe day students and Shadow Acadeorized within the contacts of proble Lan’s house, soave an overviehat had happened earlier
Yin Su Shuang’s expression becaer Was it because he had detected so unusual here at the school, Gemi and Yerde hadn’t sent out a report either
“Understood, you stay within the house, I will report this i was about to end the call, but Kaido hurriedly stopped hi else?”
The other end of the phone was silent for aLan, tell hi raised his eyebrows, “Why didn’t you call him directly?”
“I don’t have his phone nu sether now, you don’t even know his nu there for a short while!”
Yin Su Shuang could iht now
“Understood”
Yin Su Shuang ended the call, and after quickly inforues, he returned to the classrooh everyone was curious about that phone call, no one dared to ask, and could only wait for a brave warrior to appear—
“Class Advisor, who called you?” Feng Ping Lan sirlfriend? How passionate, could it be the call was to re to your own holared at Feng Ping Lan coldly, “The one who can’t return home is you”
“Ah?”
“Co’s face darkened, pointing to Byriel and the others, “You guys too!”
Conglong and Morris glared at Feng Ping Lan This idiot…
At lunch break, the group entered the staff roo On the hallway outside the staff roo
“Everyone here?”
“We’re short of one”
Just as Yin Su Shuang’s words fell, a long silhouette walked out of the shadows of the hallway
“Quetzal!” Feng Ping Lan cried out
Quetzal ignored hi on?” Conglong was puzzled
“Uh, I didn’t know joking about the teacher would be so serious…” Feng Ping Lan scratched his head aardly “Class Advisor, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have joked about your wife… Uh, or is it not actually your wife but your husband, so you’re angry?”
“Not because of that”
Yin Su Shuang i the staffroohout the city, since yesterday” He took out the bottle containing the insect, and Conglong and the others recognized it as Jun Sui’s clone “Gemi and Yerde have put up the barrier to lead these fa the school, and the residence you are living in”
The Contracts’ expressions relaxed somewhat
But, for the Shadow Academy’s Summoners to help them obstruct these familiars, this made thelorified nae between theht did the Su theuard’…
“The a, so we had no choice but to retract the barrier, focusing all out the protection spells on the school compound”
Ge surrounded by high-level protection barriers, so lower-level deh But, your house is no longer under the scope of our protection”
“We’re not in the house anyway,” Morris said uncaringly “They won’t be able to detect anything even if they went in”
“But Kaido is still in the house!” Feng Ping Lan iht of Kaido as still stuck under house arrest
“The one the Third Prince wants to find isn’t even him”
“Kaido is fine at the moment But the barrier over the house has attracted the familiars’ attention”
“Ah? Barrier?”
“It’s probably a barrier placed by that overly paranoid bastard, right?” Conglong guessed
“It doesn’t seeht now Anyway, all the fa over to that residence to monitor on it Seno went over to have a look earlier, and the situation there doesn’t see area of the house, including the trees, electric poles, and even the walls have been croith fah they haven’t directly perched onto the rooftops” Seno scratched the beard beneath his chin, “My car seeentlemen, 90 percent of the fa much of our trouble” Yerde thanked them courteously
“So… what do we do now?”
“With the familiars’ attention on the residence and the school under perfected defenses, before the danger is removed, you will stay within the school and receive protection”
“And what then, after that? Continue being protected? Hole up until Jun Sui leaves?” Morris refused to agree He refused to do such an asinine thing!
“You won’t be hiding forever The point is, ill handle the uys will temporarily stay within the school, and wait for further instructions—”
“You people will handle theit
“We are very grateful for your kindly intentions,” Byriel s to listen to every one of your orders?”
“Aiya, I wouldn’t want such deifted tolover would be acceptable…”
“Before the situation beco will be handled by the school’s Suuys have no room for choice”
Quetzal, who had been silent before this, stated chillingly in a low voice, “We will settle ourto do with the Suuys want to die, on’t stop you But don’t drag the school doith you” Yin Su Shuang reprimanded back, “You think ant to be on the same boat as you? If you start a battle, it will threaten the existence of the Shadow Academy and even the association! It’s possible even the Opposers would profit fro us? That’s your own problem” Byriel smiled without a care in the world, “Besides, before incorporating us in, you should have had theyour guys was the Director’s intention I was just obeyingreplied coldly, “But, when he requested us to shelter you people, never once did he request us to like you, nor did he restrict us fro various methods to ‘detain’ you…”
This meant, they were allowed to use brute force
“You think we care?”
Yin Su Shuang and his colleagues exchanged glances, eyes sending otiations had failed
“Very well… Looks like it’s tiht”
Both sides rolled up their sleeves for battle, on the verge of happening at anyit on the walls, and the space within the staffroo the Lan abruptly stepped in between both sides “This isn’t right!”
“Do you have any co!”
“U Lan spoke foolishly, “We’re on duty today, so we need to take out the trash later, do we have to fight right now?”
“Ah?” Everyone pinched their eyebrows, as if Feng Ping Lan was speaking alien to the teachers, teachers beating up students…” Feng Ping Lan scratched his head, “Doesn’t that sound a little wrong? It feels like so that’ll show up on the newspapers, with an i to class!” Morris bellowed
“We haven’t even broken the rules yet” Feng Ping Lan protested to the Contracts in a low voice, “Everything they talked about was just the predicted developht? Classes haven’t ended yet, no one has returned to the residence either, nor have we been discovered by Jun Sui Clashi+ng with each other even when nothing has happened yet is a bit… Mm…”
“Yin-laoshi+, didst thee ad Lan ere this, such as ha his head with a blunt object?” Yerde swept a conde did not speak, just staring at Feng Ping Lan The next ht, we have the identities of teachers and students at thishas happened yet”
“But that will definitely happen, so we have to prevent it before it does!” Ges really happen, there will always be an opportunity to turn things around!” Feng Ping Lan said optinorant and naive art only separated by a fine line…” Yerde shook his head
“So which one are you, teacher?” Feng Ping Lan asked hi on whether Feng Ping Lan’s words were spoken without intention or out of conte lowly, “If we start fighting right now, it will inconvenience both sides It won’t be long before the central association sends someone over to inspect us”
This wasn’t a develop and anything they did, was done behind the association’s back Although their actions were done out of goodwill, when the tiht not buy it…
“How pitiful, this rievance” Byriel s to obediently go along with the Shadow Academy, was because the Shadow Acade them to be on intieneral consensus?” Seno yawned lazily, “Do we still want to fight? Can I go now, if we’re not fighting?”
Ge stayed silent for a et back to class”
“What?”
“Return, and continue class All of you are currently our ‘students’, and you haven’t done anything to break the rules, so we cannot directly take disciplinary action…”
The Contracts froze, were they supposed to ridicule their stubbornness and inflexibility? Or were they supposed to respect their honesty?
No matter what, the contention before thenored orders and returned to their residence, the Su to them There were plenty of people within the school compound If there was a disturbance, it would be hard to make a move
Besides… They had realized that these teachers at Shadow Academy didn’t seeh they didn’t know the reason for it
The entire situation seeles around their wrists were a little troubleso
“Doesn’t matter, we’ll just have to wait a couple of hours” Byriel spoke with a smile, “We don’t have to continue with this act after school ends anyway, isn’t that right? Hehehe…” He turned to leave
“Don’t act rashly,” Yin Su Shuang warned “Not just for our own good, but for your own good as well…”
Byriel turned back, raising the corners of his mouth into a resplendent s Lan followed the Contracts out of the staffroo Lan was cut off by Morris before he could speak
“You can shut up if you want to say anything tolike that, I just wanted to say that it’s Morris’ turn to throw out the kitchen waste today”
Morris frowned, repri to battle soon…”
“Oh, but I’ve already helped you throw the Lan scratched his head distressedly
“You see Ping Lan, “Do you have any opinions on the dispute earlier?”
“Uh, I think both sides have their own reasons and considerations, so no one can be said to be right or wrong…” Feng Ping Lan scratched his head, laughing wryly, “Besides, the ht do I have to infer?”
He wasn’t a Summoner, and the Contract he had bound with the deh he had joined Shadow Acade, just an ordinary huh a freak combination of factors, ould be kicked back into his world at any time
He didn’t knohat to say, he only wanted to continue living steadily and joyously with the others, till the day they found Prince Shuekan For him, just what position did he have to be able to criticize either side?
The Contracts never expected Feng Ping Lan to give out this answer,Lan was just a puppet-like existence to theht to interfere, they had always known this But…
But for so Lan say these words with his ownwithin them
“Why do you have to think so, are you that worried I’d get stolen away by so Lan continued walking forith a slanced secretly at Quetzal
That person was as expressionless as usual, apathetic that his eht at ho Lan muttered
“Who cares!” Morris huot unlucky”
“With Tan Hua with hiently
“Oh” Feng Ping Lan nodded and continued walking
After a moht the Third Prince’s people head-on? We really can’t let the Summoners deal with it?”
“What can the Shadow Academy do? They only care about their own safety!”
“Moreover, we cannot continue hiding on like this, Jun Sui will realize so the Third Prince’s army to eli for our deaths, why not go out and fight Putting an end to one more enemy just means one less enemy to deal hen the battle starts”
“Is that so…” Feng Ping Lan nodded, “Then what about Prince Shuekan? Hoill you guys be able to find him, if your identities are revealed in battle?”
The de forever will hinder us” Unexpectedly, Quetzal spoke on his own accord, “The conflict with Jun Sui will be hard to avoid, hiding and dragging things out is pointless In addition, directly laying our cards on the table may lead us to discover information that even the Sulanced at hi to be very as astonished, “How can you be so cool?”
That entire phrase was just too cool! He should keep a recording pen with hi Quetzal’s each and every word like an ancient scribe, then cos!
Quetzal furrowed his eyebrows, see too wordy
