"Xiaoxiao, have you arrived at the school yet?" On the other end of the line, D'Agosta spoke with concern.

Dong Xiaoxiao realized that she had forgotten to report her safety to her mentor in the last few days. She apologetically said, "Don't worry, I've already gone back to school. What can I do for you?"

"That's good." Vincent let out a sigh of relief and said, "I do have something to talk to you about. Come to my office whenever you're free."

Dong Xiaoxiao happened to have nothing else to do, so she replied, "I'll be there shortly."

About half an hour later, Dong Xiao entered his office.

As a treasured professor of the school, Vincent's office was very well decorated. The faint fragrance of flowers wafted in the air, a natural fragrance that came from the decorations of vases that had been specially arranged by someone else.

The school had done its best to retain a talent like Vincent.

Once inside, D'Agosta rose from his desk. "You're here. Come and sit down."

He pointed to a soft chair in front of his desk. Dong Xiaoxiao nodded and sat down. "Why did you lose a lot of weight on the island?"

Dong Xiaoxiao was not aware of this. She smiled. "Nope. I'm a bit tired these days, but I still enjoy my meal."

"Sigh, I advised you not to go when you went there previously, but you didn't want to listen. Luckily, you came back safely. You can't take such risks again in the future."

As Vincent's favorite student, Dong Xiaoxiao was already used to his concern and did not feel uncomfortable about it.

Vincent then asked, "You said earlier that electromagnetic fields had an impact on you. What are the specifics?"

She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, but when she opened her mouth, she was not honest, "I forgot what happened at that time. After I woke up, I went to a small town near Gourd Island. My mind was in a mess, so I did those things that made people misunderstand."

When D'Agosta heard this, he looked a little disappointed. The two of them chatted about the matter of Gourd Island, so she changed the topic.

"Teacher, you said that you have something to talk to me about. What is it?"

"It's not a big deal." "This is the register for class four of our senior year. The teacher in charge of the class is on leave this week, and I was just worried that no one would replace him for the week, when your call came in."

Dong Xiaoxiao did not look at the list. "You want me to take them for a week?"

D'Agosta smiled. "Right, you've done this before when you were your third year, so you should have nothing to do. Since the school is about to close for the holidays, you should be in charge of registering their trip home."

It really wasn't a time-consuming task, so she naturally agreed when Vincent suggested it.

"That's good. Today is Sunday, so you should give them a class meeting to let them get to know you." "I'll inform them in the group chat. I'll help you find the classrooms for the class reunion."

Dong Xiaoxiao had not been in school for a long time. She nodded and said, "Yes, I'll be troubling you."

The meeting time for the class was set to be 7: 00 PM. Dong Xiaoxiao finished her meal at the school cafeteria. It was about time, so she went to the classroom that Vincent had arranged for her.

When she arrived, there were already a lot of people sitting in the classroom. Everyone in the courtyard knew each other, and as soon as Dong Xiaoxiao entered the classroom, she attracted the attention of others.

"Wow, she's a substitute, isn't she? So beautiful."

"Goddess!"

They started whispering to each other, and Dong Xiaoxiao listened to them for a while.

"I didn't expect you to be so charming." Ye Hanyi, who had been silent for a long time, teased.

Dong Xiaoxiao walked to the podium, ignoring Ye Hanyi's words and said with a smile, "Hello everyone. Your class is on leave this week. I'm the substitute Dong Xiaoxiao, a student from our institute. Please remember my contact details. If you need anything, find me."

It was easy for beautiful and amiable people to win the favor of others. The class soon ended in harmony. During this period, a few boys flirted with Dong Xiaoxiao and were easily dealt with by her — she had encountered this situation during her third year and it didn't take much effort to deal with it, let alone now, a few years later.

She originally thought that she could easily return home, but not long after she left the classroom, someone called out to her from behind.

"Senior sister, wait."

"Oh, are there some junior brothers who can't hold themselves back and want to seduce you?" Ye Hanyi smiled.

Dong Xiaoxiao frowned. "Nonsense."

At this moment, the person who had stopped her was already in front of her. Dong Xiao Xiao looked over and saw a thin and pale boy. He wore a pair of silver-rimmed glasses and had a silver chain hanging from his leg.

"Senior sister, I'm a student of class one, Crane Lin." His bloodless lips curled up into a smile as he said in a somewhat demonic manner, "I have something to ask you."

Dong Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. "What is it?"

"Senior's body has two souls." When the Crane Forest spoke, it caused everyone to be stunned.

Dong Xiaoxiao pretended not to know and asked, "What does that mean?"

The smile on Crane Lin's face deepened and became even colder. "Senior Sister, don't pretend to be stupid."

"I am a hundred generations of the Crane Sect's descendant. I am the one who exterminated demons and hunted ghosts." Crane Lin pushed his glasses. "Every successor has a Yin Yang Eyes. They can see through all the evil spirits in the world. The soul of this senior sister's body … it must have been a ghost, right?"

There was no point in hiding it any longer.

Dong Xiaoxiao looked wary. "So, what do you want to do?"

"I'm just curious. Normally, when ghosts bend over, they would only be attached to the body, but the ghosts on your body would hide inside the body, symbiosis with your soul. I've never seen anything like this before." His eyes shone with an infatuated light. "It can be said that you two are miracles of the fusion of a human and a ghost. Just how did you do that?"

Dong Xiaoxiao had seen this kind of expression many times before. If a person's obsession with something was at its peak and they encountered an unsolved mystery, then they would have a crazy desire to learn more about it.

This obsession was dangerous, but it was also very easy to deal with.

She relaxed and explained, "It was all a coincidence, but I don't understand the specific reason. At that time, it was Master Fan Yin who possessed me."

Dong Xiaoxiao threw the pot to Fan Yin, who had disappeared without a trace. She didn't want the Crane Forest to pursue her research.

"You really don't know?"

"Of course, I'm just an ordinary person. Before this, I never knew that ghosts really existed in this world." Dong Xiaoxiao shrugged.

"Fine." He Lin looked at Dong Xiaoxiao meaningfully, then took out a yellow paper from his sleeve and gave it to her. "Senior sister, please accept this."

Dong Xiaoxiao took the yellow paper and saw a few incomprehensible calligraphy paintings on it. She asked, "What is this for?"
