Lu Zhao was speechless. "Can you say something normal?"
Chen Xue said, "If all else fails, we could say we're secret operatives sent by the Authorities..."
"Enough... if you're going to say something brainless, keep it to yourself next time." Lu Zhao held his forehead. "Her identity as 'Head Teacher' only applies to us while we're 'Experience Students.' If we change our identities, who do you think we'll be facing: the 'Head Teacher,' or the 'Executive'?"
"I'm not selling us short, but Bing, Xue, even the two of you together might not be able to take her down."
Though Chen Bing and Chen Xue felt unconvinced, neither said anything more.
After all, just a few words had already earned them "brainless." A few more, and they might be down to "all boobs and no brains."
Jin Jiuyao couldn't help asking, "Then, Lu, what do you suggest?"
Lu Zhao narrowed his eyes. "In my opinion, we should start with the Impersonators in this classroom..."
"When we act, make plenty of noise, and hold back a little. Let them test the waters with that 'Xiao Zi' and 'William,' and show the Head Teacher we're not enemies while we're at it."
They exchanged glances, then nodded.
"It's settled, then."
"It's settled, then?" Elsewhere, Lin Yi had eavesdropped on their entire conversation.
It couldn't be helped. Some people simply had hearing that good.
He sighed helplessly. It was only the Forest of the Dead's Steles. If Chen Xue had truly been willing to trade information, he would certainly have been willing to tell her everything he knew about it.
After all, he had accidentally turned Li Huiyuan, his "cannon fodder," into a good friend back then. Now that he couldn't be everywhere at once, he was precisely in need of some cannon fodder.
