Xu Yuan had no idea what Xi was thinking.
He looked toward a classroom on the third floor of the teaching building and watched Yang Xiaobing come out. She walked to the stairwell, took her phone from her cute little bag, and sent a message.
His phone buzzed.
Xu Yuan picked it up and looked:
"See you at the Cafeteria! Let's have lunch together!"
It was a message from Yang Xiaobing.
"Sure. See you in a bit," Xu Yuan replied.
Then he saw Jiang Xueyao leave the teachers' office and meet Yang Xiaobing at the stairwell. The two chatted and laughed as they headed downstairs.
...How nice.
Life was good.
If not for all those shady dealings, how happy would he be just living a simple university life?
They had one class first that afternoon.
Xu Yuan walked into the Classroom with Zhang Pengcheng and the Longxi Three Heroes.
Everyone was chattering about something, deep in animated discussion.
"What are they talking about?"
Xu Yuan asked.
"You haven't heard? Several people have gone missing at school—vanished outright, without a trace. The school's investigating now," Zhang Pengcheng said quietly.
"Somewhere like Luofu, and it's still this unsafe?" Xu Yuan asked in surprise.
"Exactly. It was the Teaching Building where we had class this morning. A few people walked in, then disappeared into thin air," Wang Qiang added.
Hum—
Spiritual light swept over several of them, quickly spread through the entire classroom, then enveloped the Teaching Building.
Everyone's expression shifted.
The defensive Grand Array had activated!
It seemed the school was on edge too.
Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned and headed out.
"Hey, class is about to start. Where are you going?" Zhang Pengcheng asked.
"Need to pee," Xu Yuan said.
He went to the men's restroom
