Treasure Hunt of the Cute Baby with Cunning Eyes in XNUMXs

Chapter 239

The dean of students and several teachers stood anxiously in the archives room, their eyes fixed on the dark entrance to the tunnel.

When they saw Qin Xiaoyun and the principal, covered in blood and in a disheveled state, staggering out while supporting each other, they hurriedly stepped forward to help the injured.

"Principal! How did you get injured? Is there some kind of trap in the tunnel?" the Dean of Students asked hurriedly, his voice trembling slightly with nervousness.

The principal slumped to the ground, cold sweat mixed with blood streaming down his forehead. He wiped the sweat from his brow, panting heavily, and replied in a slightly hoarse voice, "Don't even mention it, I almost didn't make it out."

Upon hearing this, the dean of students and several other teachers' expressions changed drastically. The dean of students pressed them for details, asking, "What happened to you inside?"

The principal, recalling his experiences in the tunnel, was still shaken and terrified. He said with lingering fear, "It's a long story! I'll tell you the details later!"

Seeing that everyone else had come out except for Wu Jinxiu, Li Jiankang asked, "Where's Vice Principal Wu? Didn't she go into the tunnel? Why haven't I seen her come out?"

Li Jiankang suddenly noticed that the principal looked as if he had lost his parents, and his heart skipped a beat, a bad premonition arose spontaneously.

Could it be that Wu Jinxiu had an accident?
“Vice Principal Wu…” The principal’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he said with difficulty, “She’s stayed in the tunnel.”

Upon hearing this, the head of the teaching department looked at the principal in disbelief, as if struck by lightning. "W-what do you mean?"
The other teachers also gasped and looked at each other in disbelief.

Li Jiankang swallowed hard and asked nervously, "Does staying in the tunnel mean... that you'll die in the tunnel?"

“Yes, Vice Principal Wu Jinxiu died in the tunnel,” Li Ying replied.

The dean of students and several other teachers wore expressions of sadness, tinged with regret. That arrogant, decisive vice-principal was dead!

Mo Yunfeng checked his teammate's injuries and quickly dialed the police station... After hanging up, he turned to the head of the training department and said in a calm but unwavering voice, "My teammate needs immediate medical attention. I'm leaving this place to you. Please make sure no one gets in. The police will be here to take over immediately."

The head of the teaching department nodded emphatically, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, and assured him, "Captain Mo, rest assured, we will guard against it at all costs; not even a fly will be allowed in."

Mo Yunfeng said "See you later!" to Qin Xiaoyun and Li Ying, then helped the wounded away.

Li Ying dialed Wu Qiang's number and briefly explained the situation. Then, in a grave tone, she said, "Master, the situation is more complicated than I imagined. Although I've learned about the Soul-Suppressing Array and the altar from ancient texts, this is the first time I've actually dealt with them."

On the other end of the phone, Wu Qiang's voice was filled with relief: "Ying'er, you've done a great job."

“But…” Li Ying’s voice lowered, “if I were stronger, Vice Principal Wu might not have died.”

Wu Qiang said in a serious tone, "Cause and effect are predetermined. She insisted on taking risks, so she has to bear the consequences. However, "here, he changed the subject, "This does remind us that the path of cultivation is endless. Only by constantly improving can we slay demons and protect the people we care about."

"I understand, Master. I will definitely work hard in my cultivation from now on! I will try my best to prevent today's incident from happening again," Li Ying said.

"Good, good, your awareness makes your master very happy!" Wu Qiang said with a smile.
