Chapter 140 Reencounter with the Little Fan Girl
"Dean, help me!"
The group stumbled into the dean's office, and the frenzied crowd chasing after them finally stopped. But they didn't leave; instead, they continued to wait outside.
Puyang Yucheng was intently refining a potion in his small laboratory when the sudden noise startled him. His hand trembled, and the refining failed. Immediately, he panicked and roared, "What are you howling about? Has someone killed someone or set a fire?"
He glared and ran out, only to find it was Chu Qiuchi and the others. He asked irritably, "You're back, so what's with all the howling? You've ruined this good herb of mine."
Chu Qiuchi said awkwardly, "Hey, it's been a long time since I've been back. I didn't expect my classmates to become so enthusiastic. I'm a little surprised."
Puyang Minghui stepped forward, took his arm affectionately, and said with lingering fear, "Yes, Grandpa, I don't know why, but the classmates suddenly became so enthusiastic when we came back this time. They even have slogans. This scene is a bit scary!"
Puyang Yucheng's eyes flickered upon hearing this, and he felt a little guilty. "You guys are idols for many people now. It's normal for them to want to meet you." At the same time, he secretly rejoiced: Luckily, they don't know that I came up with this slogan, nor do they know that the academy promotes their deeds every now and then.
Chu Qiuchi noticed Puyang Yucheng's slightly guilty look and his heart skipped a beat. He looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Dean, this matter isn't related to you, is it?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could this have anything to do with me?" Puyang Yucheng immediately retorted loudly, then quickly changed the subject, "Did you bring the potion back? Did you encounter any danger on the way?"
"Grandpa, we're all back, and we definitely brought the medicine back with us. However, we did encounter some obstacles on the way, but we dealt with them all."
After Puyang Minghui finished speaking, Chu Qiuchi took out the potion and handed it to Puyang Yucheng, his expression becoming somewhat solemn. "Dean, this potion is a super-grade potion."
Puyang Yucheng's hand holding the medicine suddenly trembled, his voice tinged with disbelief, "Super grade?"
The group nodded in unison. Puyang Yucheng took a deep breath, his expression growing even more solemn. "Does His Majesty know about this?"
Puyang Minghui shook her head slightly, "We haven't reported it to His Majesty yet." She bit her lip and cautiously probed, "Grandpa, we suspect that Huo Heng might not be dead..."
"Who? Who did you just say didn't die?" Puyang Yucheng asked doubtfully, thinking he had misheard.
"It's Huo Heng, Grandpa. We suspect that Huo Heng might not be dead, and that he may have developed this medicine. General Ji Mo has already gone to investigate, and we will report this matter to His Majesty after he confirms it."
Upon hearing Puyang Minghui's words, Puyang Yucheng's legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground. Several people quickly stepped forward to support him.
Puyang Yucheng's eyes were filled with shock as he murmured, "Huo Heng isn't dead... Huo Heng isn't dead..."
After finally regaining his senses, he asked urgently, "Why do you suspect that Huo Heng is not dead? What exactly is going on?"
Puyang Minghui quickly stepped forward to comfort him, and then told him in detail about their findings and speculations.
Puyang Yucheng listened, gradually falling into deep thought. After a long while, his voice became hoarse and trembled slightly, "The Holy Maiden told me that the potion the Qi family gave to their child was bright red. No, no, I have to confirm it again." With that, he quickly took out his staff and sent a magical message.
Before long, Yue Linlang arrived upon hearing the news. She was still the same as when they first met, dressed in a white magic robe, her face both holy and dignified.
As soon as she entered, she glanced at Chu Qiuchi and the others, and asked with some confusion, "Dean Puyang, what happened that made you call me here so urgently?"
Puyang Yucheng handed her the potion. Before he could speak, Yue Linlang's expression changed drastically, her previous elegance and composure vanished. "This...this potion has reappeared? Where did you find it?"
Seeing her reaction, the group understood without even asking; it seemed their guess was correct—it was indeed the same drug.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Qiuchi and the others were ruthlessly escorted out of the dean's office, and they had no idea what Dean Puyang and the Holy Maiden said inside.
As soon as they stepped outside, the group shuddered at the sight of their classmates, who were crouching outside like wolves.
Chu Qiuchi skillfully pulled out a face mask and covered his face, then pulled out a hat and put it on his head, leaving only his eyes exposed.
She turned around and saw that the others were not moving. She asked in confusion, "Why aren't you making a move?"
"This... Sister, do you have any more? We didn't prepare these..." Chu Yichen said weakly.
As Chu Qiuchi took out a face towel from his mental space, he said, "You guys have such a poor sense of crisis. Luckily, I was quick-witted!"
After getting dressed, the group swaggered out through the side door. The person who was waiting at the side door looked at them carefully for a few moments, but finally hesitated and let them go.
The group breathed a sigh of relief and quickly made their escape, intending to return to Minghui's small villa in Puyang to rest.
As they were walking, a cute little girl dressed in an orange-red magic robe, carrying a bag of pastries, suddenly approached them. The little girl was probably walking in a hurry, her cheeks were slightly flushed, but she couldn't hide her excitement.
Chu Qiuchi took a closer look, a thought struck him, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. "Isn't this still that little fangirl?"
Puyang Minghui and the others recognized her and looked at Ji Moyu with interest, anticipating his reaction.
Ji Moyu felt the gazes of the group and felt a little helpless. Looking at the young girl walking towards him, he parted his thin lips slightly, "No..."
He had barely uttered a word when the girl walked past him, excitedly handing the pastries to Chu Qiuchi next to him. "Senior Qiuchi, what brings you back? These are pastries my mom sent over a few days ago. Try them!"
Chu Qiuchi was somewhat flattered, while the others looked completely bewildered, and the temperature around Ji Moyu dropped rapidly.
Chu Qiuchi accepted the pastries, her eyes softening. "Thank you for the pastries. I tried the ones you gave me last time; they were delicious. We came back this time because we have some business to attend to. But, even though we're all wrapped up like this, will you still recognize us?"
Hearing Chu Qiuchi's praise, the girl was a little excited. Her eyes were bright, as if they held a thousand stars. She said in a clear voice, "I'm glad you like it. This is a new flavor, and it's delicious. I guessed that you seniors would be afraid of trouble and would sneak back to the dormitory, so I waited here. Besides, I'm sure I can't mistake your figures." After saying that, she proudly puffed out her chest.
Chu Qiuchi ruffled her hair and said with a smile, "Thank you then. It seems I'm in for a treat again. But I was in a bit of a rush to get back this time, so I can't treat you to pastries for now. How about I treat you to dinner tomorrow?"
"No, no need, senior. I just wanted to give it to you to try. I'd be very happy if you liked it." The girl was a little shy. "Then you guys go back and rest first. I'll be going now." After saying that, she immediately turned around and ran away.
