Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

As the sun rose higher, Wei Wenxue, who had been sleeping on the bus, yawned and sat up.

Seeing Wu Xingyun staring blankly out the window, he couldn't help but ask, "Xingyun, didn't you take a nap?"

Hearing his voice, Wu Xingyun snapped out of her daze.

He wasn't just staring blankly outside; he was actually having a quiet conversation with Phoenix.

"Ah, I'm a little bored because I can't sleep."

He pointed to the view outside the window and smiled.

"But it's quite a rare treat to see the outside, since it's my first time riding this kind of bus."

"It's a very novel experience!"

Wu Xingyun chuckled softly, a little afraid of disturbing the two who were still asleep.

Wei Wenxue climbed down from the upper bunk and walked over to him, asking, "Do you mind if I sit down for a bit?"

Seeing him point to his bed, Wu Xingyun shook his head: "Of course I don't mind, Brother Wei, please sit wherever you like."

Wu Xingyun said nonchalantly.

Wei Wenxue glanced at his teacher, who was wearing an eye mask and sleeping rather restlessly, and sighed.

"Actually, this research trip was quite sudden. The teacher is just too enthusiastic about this ancient village."

"After learning about this place, he became so engrossed in it that he neglected to eat and sleep, even though he was getting old and his health wasn't very good."

He was Professor Wu's first student, whom he mentored from his master's degree all the way to his doctorate.

He was like a teacher and a father to him, which is why he was so excited to see Professor Wu so dedicated to studying the village.

This left Wei Wenxue with very mixed feelings.

"I'm sorry, my junior brother is an honest and simple person, there are some things I can't say to him."

Seeing Wu Xingyun's confusion, a hint of bitterness appeared in Wei Wenxue's eyes.

"After you said your surname was Wu, I started to have some suspicions..."

"You're from the Wu family, aren't you?"

He asked cautiously, his eyes filled with expectation as he looked at Wu Xingyun.

"I am, but I..."

Before Wu Xingyun could finish speaking, Wei Wenxue excitedly grabbed both of his hands.

He said hurriedly and in a low, hoarse voice, "Xingyun, oh no, I mean Mr. Wu. I want to ask you for a favor!"

"I had a bad feeling that something terrible would happen during this research trip."

Wei Wenxue's face turned somewhat pale.

“I’ve had a very accurate intuition since I was a child. I can’t explain these mysterious things that happened after I was born.”

"The teacher is also a very self-centered person, so... I can't stop him."

His tone was somewhat tense as he glanced at Professor Wu, who was still fast asleep.

He continued, "I know the Wu family is very skilled in mystical arts, so I would like to ask you to protect my teacher."

“His research on this ancient village has become somewhat obsessive, and I’m worried that it might cause him some harm.”

Wu Xingyun looked at him with some surprise.

There was no spiritual energy fluctuation on Wei Wenxue's body, but what he said didn't seem like a lie.

Phoenix stirred in his breast pocket.

A faint sound reached Wu Xingyun's ears.

"This person is interesting; don't reject him."

"Although there are no fluctuations in spiritual energy, it is indeed a crisis prediction based on my sixth sense..."

Wu Xingyun's expression brightened.

Then he nodded.

"Alright, since you put it that way..."

"Don't worry, I came here to protect Huo Weiwei. It's no big deal if there's one more person."

After receiving his assurance, Wei Wenxue's complexion improved significantly.

He took a deep breath and said very solemnly, "Thank you, Mr. Wu."

"I feel a little relieved to hear that."

Wu Xingyun smiled somewhat guiltily, avoiding his earnest gaze.

Sorry, Brother Wei, actually I'm not very reliable either...
