When Lin Chen and Zhu Zhuqing returned to the academy Training Ground, the sky had already grown completely dark.
The lights beside the Training Ground were still on, and the other members of the Sun Never Sets Team had gathered there without a single exception. Seeing the two return, they rushed over in a swarm.
As it turned out, after parting ways at the restaurant, the few of them had wandered around Heaven Dou City for a while. At first, things were relatively peaceful, but not long afterward, rumbling sounds like muffled thunder began to come from the direction of the city center, making even the ground beneath their feet tremble slightly.
Remembering Lin Chen's parting instructions, the few of them dared not go watch the excitement and immediately gathered together to retreat back to the academy.
Once they returned, they still felt uneasy, so they simply gathered at the Training Ground, waiting for news from Lin Chen and Zhu Zhuqing.
This wait lasted until nightfall.
Everyone was feeling restless inside. Li Jiaojiao paced back and forth, muttering endlessly to herself, while Tie Zhan was even more unsettled as he sat at the edge of the field, from time to time rising on tiptoe to gaze toward the direction of the city center, wishing he could sprout wings and fly over to see what was happening.
It was not until the figures of Lin Chen and Zhu Zhuqing appeared at the entrance of the Training Ground that everyone collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Jiaojiao impatiently asked:
"What on earth happened in Heaven Dou City? The few of us sensed that the commotion in the city was not right, so we remembered your words and obediently returned to the academy, not even daring to watch the excitement for long."
