Chapter 29 The Campus Legend of Twenty Years Ago

Li Xuan's first lesson with Nalan Mude has come to a perfect end.

The four students sat upright, their eyes fixed straight ahead, seemingly embodying the qualities of all the outstanding students on Hong Kong Island.

Fang Xiaoyi came to inspect the class during this period, and the boys' performance surprised her. She couldn't help but think more highly of Li Xuan, this young teacher.

As the morning session came to an end.

The school bell rings.

A large number of female students wearing skirts poured out of the teaching building of Nalan Mude Middle School, and the air was filled with youthful energy.

Gao Hanqiang stood on the balcony looking down, his heart almost soaring away with the chattering of the female students.

"What, have you fallen for someone?"

Charlie walked over and put his arm around Gao Hanqiang's neck, saying with a smile, "It's after school, even Teacher Li Xuan can't control us. It's okay, let's go downstairs and chat, let's start by making friends."

Gao Hanqiang smiled but didn't say anything.

His gaze fell on a female student dressed in a standard manner, carrying a few books, and walking hurriedly. He felt that this female student had an intellectual charm.

Liu Zhuobin walked over, looking miserable, and said, "Stop talking. Teacher Li Xuan said to meet him at the small restaurant outside the school after school. Don't forget! Be careful, I suspect he used to be involved in the underworld. Otherwise, what teacher carries so many sharp daggers around?"

As soon as these words came out.

The four men present, who had been admiring the female classmate, immediately felt their mood plummet to rock bottom.

They walked out of the teaching building with their heads down and headed to the small restaurant that Li Xuan had designated.

Nalan Mude Secondary School has a canteen, but the food isn't very good, so many students choose to eat at the restaurants near the school gate.

There's a yellow sign that says "Lanzhou Ramen." It's said the owner is from mainland China. The noodles are just average, but the knife skills are superb. He can slice thick beef into paper-thin slices with a flash of his knife.

Many students praised the beef, saying it was so tender it melted in their mouths.

Li Xuan sat in the private room, having ordered noodles in advance. When he saw Gao Hanqiang and the others arrive, he smiled and said, "Specialty food from the northwest of the mainland. Eat as much as you want, and the noodles are free refills."

Gao Han forced a smile and said thank you.

He said, "Teacher, you said you would talk to us about the school rules outside of school, please go ahead."

Li Xuan felt gratified as he listened to their soft-spoken manner. These four were still just kids after all. They were a bit rebellious, but a little scare would make them much more normal.

As a cultivator, one cannot stand idly by and watch someone die, but he also did not want to be a pushover, having learned his lesson from Li Ruonan.

His plan was that everyone, except for the most heinous criminals, would have a chance at redemption; if someone insisted on courting death, then there was nothing he could do…

For example, these four boys in front of me, even after being advised today, still want to break the school rules.

Then we can only respect other people's fate.

Go in peace...

The teacher will find a chance to get revenge for you.

Li Xuan coughed twice. He realized his own mindset wasn't right either. He had even thought about avenging them, but the other person wasn't even dead yet.

He took out an old newspaper and placed it on the table, letting Gao Hanqiang read it first, and then the others could read it.

This is a newspaper article from twenty years ago, containing news about a fire at the Nalan Mude school building. During the evening dismissal period, only the head of student affairs, Ruan Shiyin, was trapped inside the school administration office. The principal and his wife were also trapped in the fire. The principal was unharmed, but his wife suffered brain damage, suspected to be from carbon monoxide poisoning, and remained in a vegetative state.

Gao Hanqiang is the most handsome and also the most intelligent of the four.

In math class, he was the fastest at answering questions.

After reading the newspaper, he asked, "Teacher, what's the hidden story behind showing us this?"

Li Xuan's right hand hung down into his coat pocket, his thumb stroking the "Fengdu Treasure Guide" seal, feeling the cold material, and he calmly said, "Because there are ghosts in the school."

Those seven words were like a thunderclap in the private room, leaving the four people's heads buzzing.

Gao Han forced a smile and said, "Teacher, please stop joking."

Li Xuan said expressionlessly:
"Twenty years ago, the discipline director Ruan Shiyin died in a fire. Her body could not be found afterward. A few days later, Principal He Jintai hanged himself on a tree on the back mountain!"

"Then paranormal events began to occur at the school. Some people claimed to hear the head of discipline's voice coming from the loudspeaker at night, and all the students whose names were called disappeared."

Gao Hanqiang felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason and said, "This is just a campus horror legend, a rumor that's been passed down through generations. Other schools have it too, mainly used to scare students..."

Li Xuan chuckled and said, "There's a wall outside the school auditorium. Gao Hanqiang, have you ever seen a black figure on it?"

Gao Hanqiang recalled that when he first arrived at the school two days ago, a cleaner was vigorously scrubbing a wall with a rag, and there was indeed a black figure on it. There was also an incense burner on the ground with a stick of incense stick in it, as well as offerings such as fruits and vegetables.

He nodded honestly: "Yes."

Li Xuan said, "That wall has a function: whenever someone is killed by a supernatural force, their shadow will appear on the wall..."

The air conditioning wasn't on in the private room, but everyone felt a chill on their necks.

Liu Zhuobin asked, "What does that have to do with school rules?"

Li Xuan took out disposable chopsticks from the bamboo tube, opened the packaging bag, and said:

"Because the source of the paranormal activity is the former head of discipline, Ruan Shiyin, who is said to have turned into a vengeful ghost after the fire. She still lingers in the burned-down school administration office, monitoring the students' every move. If anyone violates the school rules, she will drag them into the administration office at night..."

"The current principal and some faculty members also know a little about the paranormal events."

"At the opening ceremony, in the auditorium, the school rules that Teacher Fang mentioned were the seven points that were most likely to attract the supernatural. She was strict with you and even set up separate classrooms because she was afraid that you would break the school rules and lose your lives."

"I risked my life to tell you this outside of school in order to avoid the investigation of the former discipline master Ruan Shiyin and try to save you."

The sudden appearance of supernatural legends in reality is somewhat unbelievable.

The four of them looked at each other, none of them daring to express their opinions.

Just then, Di Zhiheng rubbed his stiff cheeks and forced a smile, saying, "Teacher, I know you mean well, but there's no need to make up such terrifying legends to scare people."

"Oh~~"

Li Xuan made a meaningful sound and stared at Di Zhiheng.

If I remember correctly, this guy was the first of the four boys to die. He was dragged into the administration office from the toilet because he was chatting with girls and drinking beer at night, which violated the school rule that everyone must be asleep in the dormitory by 11 p.m. He became a new shadow on the white wall.

Di Zhiheng felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and his voice became stammering: "Teacher, please just say what you want to say."
