Chapter 273: Within the Xianya Courtyard
Chapter 273: Within the Xianya Courtyard
Teacher Xu was well aware that with the current crowd and their prying eyes, it was not an opportune moment for explanations. The immediate priority was to attend to the injured.
The injured female student seemed to have received treatment, but in his opinion, it was merely a temporary solution to an urgent problem.
To ensure better treatment and the safety of the student, they needed to be taken to the medical room as soon as possible.
Moreover, aside from the injured student, both Li Qian and Lu Tianjiao had sustained injuries and required treatment. Therefore, this was not the right time for discussions.
"Disperse, disperse. The matter is resolved. It's late, students. Go back and rest. Don't crowd around here," Teacher Xu said, understanding Li Qian's intentions. He followed up by arranging for them to leave.
The surrounding students heard Teacher Xu's words, but they showed no signs of leaving immediately. Both Li Qian and Teacher Xu felt helpless about this.
Forcing them to leave at this moment would be inappropriate, as the curiosity of the Dongxia people was a well-known trait, even among the elite students of the Eight Great Universities.
Understanding this, Teacher Xu didn't hesitate. He directly summoned one of his companion beasts, an automobile robot.
As the summoning array lit up, a simple sedan car suddenly appeared out of thin air. Teacher Xu waved his hand, and the car automatically drove to their front.
"Get in," he ordered without wasting any time and led the way into the car.
Seeing this, Li Qian didn't hesitate either. He called out to Lu Tianjiao, who was holding the injured student, and they both got into the car.
Vrrrrrr...
As the four of them entered the car, the engine roared to life.
It was clear that Teacher Xu was preparing to speed off, given the urgency of the situation.
Many students thought the same, and as they quietly made way for the car to leave the scene, something surprising happened.
The car suddenly shot forward and then directly transformed. With a series of clanking mechanical sounds, the seemingly simple sedan car reassembled into a small aircraft in the blink of an eye and flew into the sky.
"To be able to switch so smoothly between driving and flight modes, Teacher Xu's automobile robot must be at least Overlord rank, right?" a student observed, deducing some information from the car's transformation.
As soon as he spoke, another student next to him corrected, "Be more confident. Remove the 'probably'—it's definitely Overlord rank, and even among Overlord ranks, its level is likely not low."
"..."
While the students were discussing this, not far away, a Snow Tribe girl named Xue Yan softly murmured, "Moon Moon, let's go."
As her voice trailed off, her figure seamlessly blended into the crowd and disappeared.
It wasn't until after she left that a student realized, "Hey, didn't that Snow Tribe girl also take action just now?"
One student started the conversation, and others quickly joined in, but the topic drifted further and further.
"She's so beautiful. She's like my dream goddess."
"Hey, stop daydreaming. You'll never be able to catch up to a goddess of that caliber in this lifetime."
"Whether I can catch up to her or not is one thing, but it doesn't stop me from becoming her admirer."
"What admirer? I think you're just a plain old lapdog."
"..."
It was already quite late, and most students hadn't witnessed the commotion. So, after Li Qian's group left, the students gradually dispersed and returned to their respective dormitories.
As the students returned, no one noticed that in the nearby Lake Pavilion, a person had quietly appeared at some point, shrouded in the night's shadows. Their face was hidden, and they stood there, lips moving, emitting a low voice, "Senior, why didn't you take action just now?"
As their voice trailed off, outside the pavilion, in the lake, a few bubbles suddenly emerged, and a hoarse voice sounded.
This hoarse voice wasn't a physical sound but a telepathic one, resonating in the person's mind, "This is within the school grounds, so nothing will happen. It's a rare opportunity to train them."
Hearing this, the person nodded slightly, but in the end, they still offered a reminder, "I trust you have your limits and your confidence, but that boy, Lu Ming, is Lu Sheng's son. I hope you'll keep an extra eye on him..."
The hoarse voice fell silent for a moment, then spoke with a hint of reminiscence, "His son? From his character, he does seem to take after his father a bit."
"Rest assured. As someone who fought alongside him... as his comrade-in-arms, I'll take good care of his son..."
The hoarse voice sounded nostalgic, "After all, if it weren't for him, I might never have returned, let alone have this chance to enjoy my golden years."
"Senior, don't say that. Everything will get better. You might even be able to fully recover and live a long life."
The hoarse voice gave a bitter laugh, "Fully recover? Haha, I can barely maintain my immortality, borrowing my old friend's body and gazing at the flame of hope for a while longer is already more than I could ask for."
After a brief exchange, neither noticed that the person was getting to the main topic, "By the way, have you found the mastermind behind all this?"
The hoarse voice thought for a moment, then replied, "There was a flash of evil energy, but it was very subtle and brief. I can only determine a general direction."
"Where?" the person asked eagerly, as he had come here specifically to investigate the true mastermind.
"Right here, within the Xianya Courtyard," the hoarse voice replied, equally grave. "Judging from the energy, the Bloodfiend Disciple hiding in the shadows doesn't seem very powerful."
"However, their means of concealment are extremely clever. Even I could only vaguely sense some traces."
Hearing this, the person cast a solemn gaze towards the direction of the Xianya Courtyard, "In that case, to expose them, we'll need to..."
Before he could finish, the person vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving the pavilion empty as if nothing had ever been there. Only the occasional bubble rose to the lake's surface...
