Chapter 119: Can You Show Me the Bamboo Scrolls Again?

Du Sixian got up very early. The sun has yet to rise, and she started to practise as soon as she woke up.

Unlike yesterday, she managed to cast her spell in a single try this time.

After confirming it a few more times, she couldnt help but smile with the biggest grin plastered on her face. She was sweating, but she was happy.

I have to tell An Qing about thisas for the other mantra and the mysterious girl in my dream I need to investigate that on my own.

The sky was a pale grey.

She changed into a lace denim skirt and put on a small jacket. Sitting in front of the table, she turned on the computer and briefly replied to her few loyal fans. She hinted to them that she has a big surprise coming up for her newest video.

Soon, she was out the door. At the gate of the Night Division, she ran into An Qing.

Oh? Youre here early; are you here to practise your mantras? An Qing asked as she smiled. Casting spells doesnt happen overnight, so dont worry too much about it.

According to the statistics from various Night Divisions across the country, it takes an average of eight to twelve days for new recruits to cast a spell.

Actually, about that, I went back home and practised yesterday.

An Qing was about to reprimand her since she practised without supervision, but she was taken aback upon hearing what she had to say.

I think Ive already mastered casting the spell, she paused. I can make a pillar of flame with my fingertips.

She decided to hide the fact that she was training in a dreamscape.

W-what?

An Qing genuinely thought that Sixian was a great recruit, but now she was shocked.

Taking less than 24 hours to learn a mantra

Although casting a tiny pillar of flame was nothing impressive, learning it as a new recruit was surely something else.

You heard me the first time! Im a fast learner!

An Qing nodded in a daze.

Huacheng University. In the literature building.

Recently, Professor Ma was exhausted because of the bamboo scrolls. Most of his classes are just self-study sessions now.

Suddenly, there was a whisper in the classroom.

Have you seen the class WeChat group? Something big happened.

What happened?

You dont know yet?

Come on, just tell me.

He Ruo is dead. They found his body at the lab. They said it was an urban legend attack.

What? No way! I was with him yesterday! Why did he go to the lab alone?

Professor Ma heard it all. At first, he could care less, and urban legend attacks were slowly becoming the norm in this world. However, when he heard that his student had died near the labs, he couldnt help but be uneasy.

The classroom is a place for learning, not gossip, he said to the class. And Lu Yibei, come with me.

Lu Yibei had a giant question mark over his head.

Wait, I wasnt the one gossiping! Why was I called out?

Lu Yibei thought helplessly, but upon seeing the professors gaze, he sighed and got up.

He must be worried about his lab.

Lu Yibei. The scrolls I showed you yesterday were not the original bamboo scrolls.

O-oh, Yibei replied. He didnt expect Professor Ma to confess his sins to him so soon.

Listen to me. I wanted to show you the original scrolls, but somethingan ideawas put in my head. I just couldnt show you the original scrolls. That boy, He Ruo, is a good boy. It must be those bamboo scrolls. You need to look at them.

No problem.
