Zhao Xishi's situation was different from Li Jingming's.
The Dragon King had failed to enter the History School because Zhen Yi had deliberately made things difficult for him. Zhao Xishi, on the other hand, had joined the History School, only to be vetoed by Zhen Yi when she competed for vice president. She had then angrily withdrawn from the organization and become sworn enemies with Zhen Yi.
No one knew why Zhen Yi had rejected Zhao Xishi, the hardest-working person in the school at the time. Everyone only knew that ever since then, whenever anyone from the History School ran into her, they never came away unscathed.
Cheng Shi naturally knew nothing about the background. He only wanted to know what connection this historian had with Mo Shu and how the two of them had gotten together.
He had assumed Chen Shu would know at least a little, but although this silent Chosen One was first-rate at talking, he had pitifully little information.
After being unable to answer three questions in a row, he consoled Cheng Shi:
"Brother-in-law, don't panic. If you want to know the inside story, beat her into submission and you'll naturally be able to ask her."
"..."
As if I needed you to say that.
The question was, where was she hiding?
Cheng Shi held a smoke grenade in his hand, watching in all directions and listening for every sound. He was being extremely cautious.
A Singer might not have been that intimidating, but with a Chosen warrior added to the mix, Cheng Shi had no choice but to take them seriously.
They had clearly walked into a trap. Everything before them was probably an illusion created by Memory. Until they figured out where the enemy was, staying put and responding to changes was the safest
