The Exalted One Catches a Thief

"This is a little bad. I actually fell asleep on a bench while waiting for the bus!"

In the bright morning sunlight, Zhang Xuezhou could not help feeling a headache coming on.

He had not revealed his identity, but neither had Zhang Xuezhou found Zhang Manqian.

He had used the mask to conceal himself as he left the Weiyang Martial Arts School, but he had not found Zhang Manqian and could not make it back to his residence in time. In the end, he had been left waiting at the bus stop.

"Please don't let another kindhearted person send me to the hospital," Zhang Xuezhou said, his head aching. "There's no need to send me to the police station either, and definitely don't mistake me for a homeless person and send me to a rescue center!"

He prayed gloomily for several seconds before putting his troubled thoughts aside.

Jin Wanliang struggled to open his eyes.

Jin Wanliang shook himself hard before transforming from a toad into human form.

Jin Wanliang looked at Zhang Xuezhou, then counted up everyone who was nowhere to be seen
