Lin Muqing’s eyes gradually dimd, and her body slowly collapsed onto the ground.
What was the reason Li Xiuzhu gave at that ti?
She could hardly rember it now.
Was it because of insufficient blood supply to her brain?
But it must have been a very warm, very desirable reason.
Lin Muqing slowly closed her eyes, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly, just like the hopeful smile she had seen once before.
"Even if I die… as long as you’re here… it could surely succeed, right?"
"What a pity, I won’t be able to see it."
When Zhou Shan was about to activate the Sword technique again, wanting to destroy the body and all evidence.
Suddenly, a black humanoid Heavenly Demon intervened, "Wait a second, this woman’s body is useful to ."
Xia Li coldly looked at the Heavenly Demon, "You did it on purpose, didn’t you? You let Lin Muqing find you. Otherwise, with your structure, it wouldn’t have been so easy for her to detect you."
The Heavenly Demon slighted smiled, not saying a word, but thought to himself, ’I wonder if I can find the whereabouts of the twelfth Array from her mories.’
…
About half an hour earlier, 21:45
Upstairs in a small building, Zhou Bai was observing the dormitory block over three hundred ters away through a telescope, where Xia Li and Lin Muqing lived.
Zhou Bai had co here as soon as night fell, keeping an eye on Lin Muqing’s movents.
He planned to continue tracking Lin Muqing from a distance all day, until she went to her appointnt at the skybridge, thus turning his passive waiting into active monitoring to see where Lin Muqing would go tonight and whether she had contacted anyone if today’s appointnt was a trap.
Zhou Bai looked in the direction of the building, thinking to himself, "She hasn’t gone out since returning from dinner. Planning to wait until the appointed ti before leaving?"
He glanced at his watch, "It’s almost ti for the appointnt."
Two minutes later, Zhou Bai’s focus sharpened as he saw Lin Muqing erge from the entrance to the building, swiftly shifting his thoughts and gaze, using the telescope to sporadically scan her.
’Although I’ve heard that Lin Muqing is from the ’Earth’ Gemstone and mainly studies Arrays, not as sensitive as Gong Tu, it’s still better not to keep staring.’
Zhou Bai carefully followed her from a few hundred ters back, afraid that she might discover him.
He had thought that if he ever lost track of her, Christina would signal him from the side, but Lin Muqing seed completely oblivious, and she also walked on the main road, saving Zhou Bai so effort.
"Indeed, she is heading towards the skybridge."
Suddenly, Zhou Bai paused, then saw Lin Muqing suddenly turn back and walked over to a corner of the wall, where she seed to carve sothing.
Following her, Zhou Bai watched as she returned to the dormitory building.
"What does this an? She’s going back?"
Zhou Bai found it strange and habitually checked the ti; it was now 21:50.
After waiting about ten more minutes, Zhou Bai checked the ti again, it was nearly past the appointed ti, why hadn’t she co out yet.
"Huh? What’s happening?" Zhou Bai carefully observed the dormitory building, twitching his ears, and suddenly said, "Sothing’s not right, why is there no sound coming from this dormitory building at all? It’s as if there’s no one there."
This was because Xia Li controlled the Array, preventing any sounds or scenes from inside the building from leaking out, and created a false appearance.
If soone just passed by, they naturally wouldn’t notice this illusion.
But for Zhou Bai, who had been observing for over ten minutes, sothing felt off.
"It feels a bit strange," Christina returned to his mind and asked, "What’s up, Zhou Bai? Want to go in and check?"
Zhou Bai thought for a mont, and then checked the ti.
10:06 PM.
Only 5 minutes left until Lin Muqing finished inspecting the Array.
6 minutes until little Pei gets exposed.
8 minutes until Lin Muqing’s death.
Zhou Bai looked at the peaceful building in front of him and nodded slightly, "Go ahead, if you don’t co back, I’ll activate the gemstone in ten minutes."
Christina nodded, and in the next mont, she dashed out, looking left and right in a bush, then dashed into the dormitory building.
As soon as she entered the corridor, Christina imdiately felt sothing was off; a cacophony of noises, collisions, and voices of people talking reached her ears, "Array?"
8 minutes later, Zhou Bai noticed that the originally silent building seed to co alive again, with varying sounds of human chatter constantly emanating from within.
A minute later, streams of light fell from the sky—school guards were arriving.
"Sothing happened?" Zhou Bai saw teachers walking out from each dorm building, and as more and more people gathered at the entrance, he went up as well to see what was going on.
"Lin Muqing is actually from the Sky Flipping Sect."
"I heard she attacked little Pei, luckily Teacher Zhou Shan stopped her."
"To think she would attack little Pei, the villains of the Sky Flipping Sect are utterly ruthless."
"How is little Pei doing?"
"Alas, I heard she’s severely injured, her life hanging by a thread, such a poor girl."
"Lin Muqing is dead? Little Pei is critically injured?" Listening to the conversations around him, Zhou Bai thought to himself, "How could this happen? Lin Muqing was from the Sky Flipping Sect?"
He thought to himself, ’What on earth happened? I’ll have to wait for Tina to co back and ask.’
But even after the agreed ten minutes had passed, Christina didn’t appear, and there was no response when he tried to retrieve her into his mind, so Zhou Bai didn’t hesitate to activate Ti Reverse.
10:06 PM, ti had returned to the mont Lin Muqing was inspecting the Array.
Zhou Bai and Christina reappeared at the spot from ten minutes earlier, and as soon as she appeared, Christina shouted, "Damn it, Heavenly Demon! So many from the Heavenly Demon!"
"Heavenly Demon?" Zhou Bai, "What exactly happened?"
Christina quickly recounted her ordeal, "Hurry and stop Lin Muqing! She’s stirred up a hornet’s nest with the Heavenly Demon; she’s going to get killed! And little Pei, she’s damn near turned into a Heavenly Demon herself!"
"That serious?"
Zhou Bai’s expression hardened, and the next mont he soared into the air, leaping dozens of ters high, then pulling out a light stone Xia Li had made for him, instantly activating its flash function, followed by a roar.
The dazzling and sowhat piercing light flickered continuously in the nightti sky, convincing Zhou Bai that such a major commotion would soon bring the Dao School guards over.
Sure enough, within a short ti, a dozen streams of light had landed beside Zhou Bai, one of the guards asked, "What are you doing?"
Another guard, noting Zhou Bai’s bare-chested and shoeless appearance, thought, "Another madman?"
Zhou Bai pointed at the dorm building in front of him, "I just saw sothing that looked like a monster enter this building."
The guards were sowhat skeptical, but just then, Lin Muqing also erged from the dorm building startled by the commotion, looking at Zhou Bai in surprise, "Zhou Bai, what are you doing here?"
Relieved to see Lin Muqing safe, Christina sighed, "She’s alive, we saved her! Looks like she hasn’t been attacked yet."
Zhou Bai thought for a mont, then asked, "Ms. Lin, is everything okay with little Pei? I thought I saw sothing entering the building just now."
As they spoke, even more people gathered, all school guards and teachers.
