When Zhang Luochen returned to his seat, he could still feel Liu Yuan and Li Yifei's eyes staring at him.

At this moment, Li Yifei mustered up his courage and stepped forward to pat Zhang Luochen on the shoulder. Zhang Luochen turned around and looked at Li Yifei, as if he had mustered up his courage.

"Luo Chen, can you... come out for a moment?"

Zhang Luochen nodded and followed Li Yifei into the corridor.

"I'm sorry, Zhang Luochen, I was so scared at the time. How is Lin Qiye? Is he..." Li Yifei said, tears welling up in his eyes. He dared not continue, afraid that he would harm Lin Qiye.

"Don't worry, Lin Qiye is fine. He had something to do today, so he took the day off. You don't need to blame yourself too much. Anyone would run away immediately if they encountered something like that. When Lin Qiye comes back tomorrow, just apologize to him, and he will forgive you." Zhang Luochen patted Li Yifei on the shoulder. This Nanduo snake demon was indeed kind-hearted.

Li Yifei was relieved to hear that Lin Qiye was alright. "That's good. It's just a pity that Wang Shao is still dead. By the way, did you sign a confidentiality agreement?"

Zhang Luochen then remembered that there was indeed a confidentiality agreement involved, but since he had already joined the Night Watch, he didn't need to sign it.

"Yes, I've signed it." Zhang Luochen didn't want to tell Li Yifei about joining the Night Watch.

"I wish I could join them," Li Yifei said with a longing expression.

"Don't worry, you'll have your chance. You'll shine somewhere," Zhang Luochen smiled slightly, and before Li Yifei could react, he continued.

"Class is about to start, let's go back to the classroom," Zhang Luochen said, walking straight into the classroom.

"Huh? Oh?" ​​Li Yifei finally realized what was happening and followed Zhang Luochen into the classroom.

Zhang Luochen returned to his seat, and Li Yifei, having spoken his mind, appeared much more relaxed, his expression becoming more natural. As for Liu Yuan, he continued to stare at Zhang Luochen.

As for what Liu Yuan was thinking, Zhang Luochen didn't intend to care. Anyway, Lin Qiye would teach him a lesson later, so he didn't need to do it himself.

Zhang Luochen's gaze fell on Jiang Qian once again. He was relieved that Jiang Qian had survived, but unfortunately, she had forgotten that he had saved her.

"Never mind, I'll be leaving campus soon, and I'll have less time to spend with her," Zhang Luochen thought to himself.

……

As the day's classes came to an end and the bell rang, all the students in the school did the same thing in unison: they packed their schoolbags and prepared to go home.

The news of Wang Shao's murder did not spread throughout the school, but for the safety of the students, the school temporarily canceled evening self-study sessions so that students could go home earlier.

Zhang Luochen walked to the school gate, looked around, and soon spotted Zhao Kongcheng.

"Uncle Zhao, did you not leave, or did you come to guard this early?" Zhang Luochen came to Zhao Kongcheng.

"Of course I didn't leave. What if that kid suddenly passed by? Wouldn't I miss him?" Zhao Kongcheng said, glancing at the intersection every now and then, as if afraid of missing someone.

"Uncle Zhao, don't worry, it's not time yet." Because there is no evening self-study session, it's not dark yet, and there are still several hours before Lin Qiye appears.

Zhao Kongcheng shifted his gaze to Zhang Luochen. "Hey, I spotted you, kid."

"Huh? What's wrong with me?" Zhang Luochen asked, puzzled.

"Your Forbidden Ruins isn't actually a copy, is it?"

Zhang Luochen's expression changed, as if he was afraid that Zhao Kongcheng would discover something.

“I think your Forbidden Ruins is more like a prophecy. It’s like you know everything,” Zhao Kongcheng said.

Zhang Luochen gave an awkward smile. "Uncle Zhao, I don't have that kind of ability."

"Don't you live on campus? Why are you out here?" Zhao Kongcheng asked.

"Isn't this something we have to do together to keep watch on Lin Qiye? After all, it's our mission."

"You knew it was our mission, yet you stayed inside comfortably all day while I was out in the cold wind all day."

"Well, the captain told me to keep watch at the school," Zhang Luochen muttered to himself.

And so, a middle-aged man and a boy waited in the cold wind for several more hours, until it was soon 10 p.m.

"Ouch, I've been standing for so long, my body is stiff," Zhao Kongcheng said, stretching his body as he did so, his bones cracking.

Just then, Zhao Kongcheng caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye; the figure was all too familiar.

"Uncle Zhao, the person is here." Zhang Luochen also noticed Lin Qiye's figure, but before he could finish speaking, he said, "Uncle Zhao, the person is here."

Zhao Kongcheng had already disappeared from the spot.

Whoosh-!

A gust of wind swept by, and Zhao Kongcheng took three steps in two, instantly closing the distance between them.

"With that speed, it's a shame he's not participating in sprint races," Zhang Luochen quickly caught up with Zhao Kongcheng.

By the time Zhang Luochen caught up, Lin Qiye's shoulder was already firmly gripped by Zhao Kongcheng.

Lin Qiye also saw Zhang Luochen at the same time and asked, "Zhang Luochen?"

"Lin Qiye, I just happened to be passing by and saw Uncle Zhao, hehe," Zhang Luochen said with a simple smile.

"Uncle Zhao...?" From this form of address, Lin Qiye already realized that after just one night, the relationship between the two had changed.

"Kid, we meet again."

Lin Qiye gave an awkward smile, then asked, "Who... are you?"

Zhao Kongcheng held Lin Qiye's hand tightly, as if afraid he would run away again in the next second. "I, you still ask me who I am?"

Zhang Luochen sighed and rubbed his forehead. Zhao Kongcheng had been suffering all night, and with the cold wind all day, he really couldn't get rid of his anger.

“You’re definitely not getting away today,” Zhao Kongcheng said.

Lin Qiye, looking like he'd given up resisting, said, "Fine, you tell me, where do you want to talk?"

"Come with me"

"Wait!" Zhang Luochen suddenly spoke up, trying to stop them from reaching an agreement.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?" Zhao Kongcheng thought Zhang Luochen had something urgent to attend to.

"Um, I have a favor to ask, but I don't know if I should say it," Zhang Luochen said, his expression slightly embarrassed.

Lin Qiye, standing to the side, was still curious about what had happened. Strictly speaking, Zhang Luochen had helped him escape yesterday, even though he could have come up with the reason himself, it was just that Zhang Luochen had said it first.

"If you're unsure whether you should say it or not, then don't. Let's get down to business first," Zhao Kongcheng said, pulling Lin Qiye along as they prepared to walk forward.

"Wait, wait, wait!" Zhang Luochen quickly blocked their way. "Um, could we not go to a lovers' hotel?"

Upon hearing that they were going to a love hotel, Lin Qiye looked at Zhao Kongcheng with a mixture of confusion and shock. "Hey, what are you trying to do? Don't do anything reckless! I'm still a minor!"

"What are you high school boys thinking? It's just a simple chat. Zhang Luochen, why are you getting involved?"

"Well, a coffee shop or a tea room would be fine too," Zhang Luochen quickly said.

"What do you know? That's a safe house, and I'm not that kind of person."

Zhang Luochen watched their retreating figures helplessly. "Why is it sometimes so difficult to change the plot?"
