Chapter 16: A Threat from the Shadows

Soon it was time for the Thousand Curtain Academy to end school, but Bai Xuanyi was not talking and laughing like other students at this time.

The "unexpected joy" that brought her today really made her have to carefully consider the personal safety of herself and Lan Xiaoyu.

Who could have such a sophisticated and bizarre assassination technique?

Bai Xuanyi shook her head, forcing herself to stop thinking about those terrifying and dangerous things, and now her purpose was to leave the school.

As she walked down the stairs, a pleasing green figure in front of her caught her eye.

For this back, Bai Xuanyi can be said to have a deep memory.

The matter of Huang Yao is also a dangerous and unstable speculation for Bai Xuanyi.

What was she, and was she and Arenas the assassination attempt?

With such a thought, Bai Xuanyi looked at the back firmly and had the idea of wanting to step forward and ask.

So Bai Xuanyi began to gradually increase her pace, but she didn't want to be too abrupt, so she tried to make herself look friendly.

"Huang Yao-san?" Bai Xuanyi walked up to Huang Yao and made a friendly greeting.

"Yo, it's classmate Bai." Huang Yao looked at Bai Xuanyi who was smiling with some surprise, "What's the matter?" ”

"No, just want to know if your home is far from the school?" Bai Xuanyi asked.

Huang Yao frowned slightly, "Why are you asking this, it's not too early, you can go back quickly." ”

"No, no, no." Bai Xuanyi hurriedly waved his hand, "I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious about you." ”

"Curious?" Huang Yao looked at her, and there was a little glimmer in his beautiful eyes.

"I'm ordinary, I can't find anything in me that makes you curious." Huang Yao said.

"You don't have confidence in yourself, Huang Yao." Bai Xuanyi said with a little seriousness.

"You know you're the center of attention for our freshmen right now!" In Huang Yao's surprised gaze, Bai Xuanyi pretended to be pointing.

"Regardless of how you know, if I'm really what you say, then what do you want me to do?" Huang Yao's tone was very soft, but his words couldn't help but be a little aggressive.

"This ...... Actually, Huang Yao's classmates ......" Bai Xuanyi lowered his head slightly, "Since you are already the focus of attention, then you should let your classmates have a deeper impression of you." ”

Huang Yao looked at her, his eyes revealing a hint of banter, "Then what should I do?" Answer your question? ”

Bai Xuanyi's face was slightly red, "What if...... If you want, then it's better than ......."

"You're really interesting." Huang Yao kept a kind tone, "Although I want to try as you say, but now I have to go." ”

"Have to go? Why ......" Bai Xuanyi asked suspiciously, she suddenly shook her head as she walked, and then slowly looked ahead.

The purple-haired young man standing at the gate glanced at the two of them expressionlessly, and his purple cold eyes made Bai Xuanyi shudder.

What kind of courage and malice can exude such a heavy and compelling look?

Looking at Bai Xuanyi, who was stupid in place, Huang Yao covered his mouth and snickered, and quickly stepped forward and approached Arenas.

"Then I'm leaving, goodbye, Mr. Bai!" Huang Yao waved his hand at Bai Xuanyi.

The beautiful female voice dragged Bai Xuanyi back to reality, and she couldn't help but touch her head.

"Those two ...... It's definitely not easy, maybe I should warn Xiao Yu......"

Five minutes later, Bai Xuanyi, who had entered the path, lowered his head, as if he had fallen into some deep contemplation of some profound question.

She stared at the sand with a stiff gaze, kicking away the pebbles that stood in the way from time to time.

The trail was something she had just discovered, and it would probably be half the distance back to the hostel from it.

Moreover, there are almost no people on this road, and Bai Xuanyi can also calm down and think about the problem.

I didn't listen to a word of today's class, I'm really sorry for my mother, I will study hard in the future......

"Huh?" As if sensing something, Bai Xuanyi snorted, and then continued to walk forward.

Several fierce-looking, burly young men stood in the way, looking at the oncoming girl with an obscene expression.

"Big brother, what do you think that girl looks like?" A slightly shorter man on the left said.

"Superb! It's even more beautiful than that Lan Xiaoyu! The big man standing in the middle made no secret of his excitement.

Bai Xuanyi pretended not to hear and continued to walk with his head down until he stopped in front of several men with unkind faces.

"What are you going to do?" Bai Xuanyi raised his head slightly and asked, "If it's to beg, I'm sorry I don't have coins on me." ”

"Are you kidding Lao Tzu?" The big man led by stepped forward and looked at Bai Xuanyi with a lewd smile, "Today we want your beautiful little face and a few brothers...... Yes!!! ”

Maybe it didn't last a second, and by the time the rest of the thugs reacted, their big brother had already been knocked flying and fell to the wall on the left.

The seriously injured man fainted directly, and the remaining men looked between him and Bai Xuanyi with a look of horror.

"See what?" Bai Xuanyi put his hands in his pockets, his face expressionless, "Before I send you flying, get out." ”

There was no response, and the men expressed their fears with swift movements.

Looking at the thugs who were flying fast, Bai Xuanyi sighed.

There are so many worries today, and I am almost out of breath at school, and there will be such a group of brain-dead people outside to harass me.

Thinking like this, Bai Xuanyi casually looked at the man who was almost imprinted on the wall, and suddenly, she noticed that something was wrong.

"This is ......" Bai Xuanyi stepped forward and carefully observed a green necklace around the man's neck.

"Why is this breath so familiar......" Bai Xuanyi couldn't help but touch the necklace with his hand.

The man who was spitting blood opened his eyes slightly, but the white Xuanyi that greeted him made him almost faint again.

"Female ...... The woman ...... "The man's voice was distinctly crying and trembling.

"Don't talk, if you can cooperate with me, I'll save your life later." Bai Xuanyi said.

The man nodded, and Bai Xuanyi carefully removed the necklace.

"This thing ......" Bai Xuanyi looked at the dazzling green gem on the necklace, and the gem glowed faintly green as soon as she touched it.

"How did you get this item?" Bai Xuanyi raised his head and asked the man.

"This ...... I bought it from the black market three months ago......." said the man, trembling, "if the woman likes it...... Just take it. ”

"I don't need to say that." Bai Xuanyi continued to observe the gems on the necklace, "Whether you agree with it or not, I will definitely get this thing as long as I want it." ”

The man closed his eyes in agony and said no more.

As if thinking of something, Bai Xuanyi stretched out his right hand, summoned his own silver-white light, and slowly placed it on the gem.

The gem instantly glowed with a dazzling green light, and Bai Xuanyi took his hand away, and the gem still sparkled.

The man's mouth grew in surprise, and under the bath of this light, his serious injuries began to heal little by little.

"......" Bai Xuanyi looked at this scene quite seriously, and then looked at the man who was recovering, and that serious gaze made him tremble.

After a long time, the light dissipated, and Bai Xuanyi handed the necklace to the man.

"You're cured, aren't you, so take good care of this thing for me."

The man came out of the wall and nodded fearfully, "I will definitely follow the woman's orders......"

This strange title made Bai Xuanyi cry and laugh, "What a woman, I'm just an ordinary student." ”

"Go back quickly, don't do anything like this again." Bai Xuanyi said.

The man didn't say anything, just grabbed the necklace tightly and ran out with a puff of smoke.

"That thing has something to do with Huang Yao." Bai Xuanyi muttered to himself, "And it doesn't seem to be an ordinary relationship, I can clearly perceive the same origin of the energy on Huangyao and that thing." ”

Bai Xuanyi no longer hesitated, and hurried back to the hotel.

She was about to push the door in, but saw Xiang Mingzheng looking at her with a worried face.

Bai Xuanyi walked in and said, "Teacher Ming, what's wrong?" ”

Xiang Ming sighed, "I already know about Xiao Yu, you are not injured, right?" ”

"Of course not." Bai Xuanyi smiled, "As long as I am here, this kind of thing will never happen." ”

Xiang Ming motioned for Bai Xuanyi to sit down beside her, took out two more cups of tea, and put them on the table.

"Presumably, after these days of experience in Qianmu, you should know the basic overview of this school." Xiang Ming said.

"Yes, the situation of a thousand scenes is really a little strange to me." Bai Xuanyi said.

"Now Xiao Yu's life has been targeted." Xiang Ming lowered his head and whispered, "I think you should be curious to know who the most suspicious person is." ”

"Who is it?" Bai Xuanyi also leaned in and asked in a low voice.

"If only the big family is mentioned." Xiang Ming held the teacup, "Then there should be only two families." ”

"Two families......" Bai Xuanyi frowned, she didn't expect that Lan Xiaoyu would have two big families in the academy targeting her.

"One is the DiGrosnos." Xiang Ming said, "This is a nobleman of the Demon Kingdom, and legend has it that he is a descendant of an ancient demon. ”

"The people of their family believe that they have a noble bloodline, so they often bully others at will in Qianmu, so they have been sanctioned by Lan Xiaoyu many times."

Bai Xuanyi nodded, "I know, but what about the other one?" ”

"The other is the Spirit Wing family from the royal family." Xiang Ming said, "This family was of the same origin as the imperial family in ancient times, and has been passed down to this day, but it has a deep grudge with Lan Xiaoyu's family. ”

Xiang Ming's expression became more and more serious, "I don't know what the specific grudge is." ”

"I understand, thank you, Mr. Ming." Bai Xuanyi nodded equally solemnly.
