Chapter 2734 Demonic Cultivator: My Banner Remains the Same (Part 30)
Xining climbed the stairs and went up to the second floor. She saw Roger and Lisa still lying there, just as they had when they fainted, without even changing their positions.

She strode over, peeled the sleeping talisman off Roger's forehead with her left hand, and ripped off Lisa's with her right. The two talismans burst into flames as soon as they left the skin, burning out before they even touched the carpet, leaving only a small wisp of ash, unrecognizable from their original form.

A moment later, Roger and Lisa's eyelids twitched, and they slowly woke up.

The two stared blankly around, looking around in disbelief. It took them a long time to come to their senses, probably still trying to recall what had happened before they fainted.

"Jiang Xining, I... how did I get here?" Roger tried to sit up, but as soon as he exerted himself, he cried out in pain and quickly reached out to cover his newly reattached arm. Cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

"Don't move! Your dislocated arm has just healed, and you can't put any weight on it for at least a month." Xi Ning reached out and helped the two of them sit down against the wall.

"What exactly happened?" Roger frowned and scratched his head, slowly piecing together fragmented memories: "I think I rolled down the stairs... No, there's a ghost upstairs!"

Seeing his still-shaken expression, Xi Ning almost couldn't help but laugh.

These two men weren't very skilled, but they were quite bold, and they took on the task of exorcising the ghost despite their initial reluctance.

She casually made up a story as she went along with the conversation: "It really is a powerful attic ghost that can create illusions. You thought you were walking on flat ground, but you ended up rolling down the stairs. But you had already recited a spell to injure it before you rolled down, and it got scared away."

"Really?" Lisa still frowned, looking doubtful. She thought about it and realized that the spell she was most familiar with in her life was the Light Spell that made the tip of her wand glow. It didn't seem like it could fight ghosts at all.

"Of course it's true!" Roger immediately straightened up upon hearing this, puffing out his chest and beaming with undisguised pride.

He didn't run away; he was under a ghost's illusion, and he managed to drive the ghost away!

After resting for a while and seeing that he was alright, he went out and met the real estate agent. He used the same excuse and accepted the remaining half of the fee without batting an eye.

As they walked back, Lisa still couldn't shake her suspicions. She tugged at Xining's sleeve and whispered, "Did we really drive the ghost away?"

"Absolutely, it's more real than real gold," Xi Ning affirmed in a very certain tone.

Lisa glanced down at her digital watch and frowned. "Wait a minute, we were dizzy for almost half an hour? How come there's such a big time difference?"

"No, it's only five or six minutes. It seems the flow of time in the illusion is different from the outside." So the time didn't match up. Xi Ning wasn't worried at all. Anyway, she stuck to this story. These two wouldn't go back and check with the intermediary, would they?

Just around the corner is the neighborhood where homeless people used to gather.

Roger was the first to sense something was wrong: "Why is it so quiet? Where has everyone gone?"

As he walked, he looked around. The street was still the same dilapidated street, with rows of old tents still lined up. But the homeless people who used to squat at the tent entrances chatting and sunbathing were nowhere to be seen.

"Who knows? I guess the ghost in the attic was in such a panic when it ran away that it scared all of these people away." Xi Ning continued to make up stories without changing her expression.

The small house where the portal was placed was a very old, ordinary house. The paint on the door was peeling and pitted, and the walls were covered with graffiti by young people.

Roger walked to the door, took out his magic wand, and chanted an opening spell. The lock clicked, and the door slowly opened by itself.

The three went inside and closed the door. Roger took out the thousand yuan he had just received as a reward for his hard work that day, counted out a hundred-yuan bill, and handed it to Xi Ning: "Thank you for making this trip today. This is not much, but please take it."

"No, no, I'm just here to broaden my horizons, how could I take your money?" Xi Ning waved her hands repeatedly. "Besides, I'm here as an exchange student, and Huaxia College covers my tuition and living expenses, so I don't need this. If you really want to thank me, just remember to call me next time you need something like this."

Roger refused twice, but Xining insisted on not accepting the money, so he had no choice but to give up and repeatedly replied, "Okay, I'll definitely call you next time I need a job!" After saying that, he counted out four hundred yuan and handed it to Lisa, keeping six hundred for himself.

Lisa happily stuffed the money into the hidden pocket of her magic robe, not thinking anything of it. She was just an assistant; Roger did the most work, so naturally he got more.

Back at the magic academy, the three said goodbye and parted ways at the entrance.

Xi Ning returned to her dormitory, closed the door, and immediately used her consciousness to check on the Soul-Gathering Banner. Upon seeing it, she couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

After this trip, the number of souls collected by the banner exceeded four hundred. No wonder her cultivation level was rising rapidly. At this rate, she would be able to establish her foundation after another trip.

Suppressing her excitement, Xi Ning quickly took out a soundproof talisman and set up a barrier. Since cell phone signals couldn't penetrate the barrier, she could only use the teleportation talisman box to contact the vice principal of the Taoist Academy.

The teleportation talisman was tossed into the air, and the moment it activated, a powerful and rhythmic melody floated out: "The vast horizon is my love, flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green hills. What kind of rhythm is the most swaying, what kind of song is the most joyful..."

The scene that appeared as the music played left Xining completely stunned—Vice Principal Zhao was actually wearing a blue and white printed T-shirt and black beach shorts, standing at the very front of the square leading the dance, his face glowing as he swayed his waist and swung his arms to the beat.

“Vice Principal Zhao…” I’ve never seen anything like this before.

Moreover, he was the team leader, followed by a group of middle-aged women, quite a few in number. This was completely different from the fat old man who usually wore a wide-sleeved robe and had a serious expression.

“Uh…” Vice Principal Zhao did not expect Xi Ning to contact him at this time. He froze on the spot, his hand still raised in mid-air in a twisting posture.

The middle-aged women standing behind him were incredibly curious and crowded around to stare at the projected image in mid-air: "Old Zhao, what's this new gadget?"

Xi Ning reacted quickly, immediately smiling and raising her hand to greet everyone: "Hello, ladies! This is the latest video call technology."

"Wow, this girl is so polite!" an older woman immediately replied with a smile, their smiles as bright as flowers blooming in the spring breeze.

"This is my student, going to the Western Continent Magic Academy as an exchange student." Vice Principal Zhao quickly recovered from his embarrassment, taking over the conversation without batting an eye, and even speaking with a hint of pride.

“Yes, ladies, Principal Zhao has mentioned you a lot. He said that we young people stay in the dorms all day and are all listless and lack energy. He told us to learn from you and to take better care of ourselves, otherwise, when we stand in front of you, we won’t be able to tell who is the older sister and who is the younger sister.” Xi Ning followed up with praise, and the group of middle-aged women immediately smiled even more brightly.

"Hey Lao Zhao, so you really are the principal! We thought you were just bragging!"

"That girl has such a sweet tongue. We're not that young!"

Vice Principal Zhao stood tall and proud, clearly pleased with himself, and secretly raised his hand to give Xining a thumbs-up to the screen.

"Ladies, long-distance calls are really expensive, charged by the second. I need to talk to Principal Zhao about something. Could you please wait two minutes for me?" Xi Ning winked.

The teleportation talisman only lasts for half an incense stick's time, and now most of that time has already passed. We need to speed things up, or one talisman will be wasted.

Just as Vice Principal Zhao was about to speak, the middle-aged women all went to the back of the square.

“We understand. Come on, let’s go get some water first…”

He also instructed, "Old Zhao, you two keep talking, don't worry about us."
