All the players were facing a formidable enemy at this moment. Tang Ning did not dare to return to his seat. He looked at the constantly shaking table. The stationery and test papers on the table made various noises as they collided.
The ghost students in the class lowered their heads one by one. They raised their textbooks to cover their faces in fear.
Si Tai imitated those evil classmates and covered his face with the test paper.
Jikong no longer cared about the rule prohibiting noise in the classroom. He clasped his hands together and kept reciting the text.
A low animal roar emanated from Li Haoyuan's throat, and he began to transform into a werewolf.
Zhou Kang opened the zipper of his schoolbag, and a kitten with no fur, rotting and smelling bad poked its head out.
Jiang Mianmian picked up the glasses that were originally used to suppress the posthumous portrait. She put on the gold-rimmed glasses again. After seeing something, a crack appeared on the lens.
In this weird atmosphere, Xie Yunting quickly walked up to the podium, holding two talismans in each hand, and threw them out. Two balls of bright yellow flames instantly wrapped around the talismans.
Xie Yunting formed seals with his hands in the air, and the two flames merged into one. The blazing flames dispelled all the cold air on the podium at this moment.
"Ahh—" The ghost teacher was ignited by the flames and let out a shrill scream. He could not maintain his original form. His face became distorted and black blood flowed from his body.
After the fire could not be extinguished, the ghost teacher tried desperately to run out the door.
Xie Yunting raised his head expressionlessly, and a small copper coin sword flew out from his sleeve. The small sword flew out and pinned the ghost teacher surrounded by flames against the wooden door.
Such a blatant method of slaughtering ghosts seemed to arouse public anger. All the ghost students in the class stared at Xie Yunting, and their eyes revealed the same coldness. They were looking at Xie Yunting, but not just at Xie Yunting.
A chilly breath filled the air, blowing across Tang Ning's body.
Tang Ning felt a vibration somewhere in his body. It was not his violently beating heart, but an ancient coin tied with a red string.
The ancient coin was a precious item that Xiao Xie Yunting gave to Tang Ning on the first day of the dungeon. At this moment, the ancient coin seemed to sense the danger. It moved from its original position hanging around Tang Ning's neck and protected his heart.
At this moment, the ancient coin became hot, and some invisible barrier protected Tang Ning.
The omnipresent sense of being watched surrounded Tang Ning from all directions. Tang Ning was unable to tell which pair of ghost eyes gave him the greatest sense of crisis.
Xie Yunting quickly walked to Tang Ning's side and protected her behind him without hesitation. He held the sword in one hand and slashed the blade with his other hand without hesitation. The bright red blood dyed the small sword red, and a strong heat emanated from the sword.
"What's going on?! Why is Class 1 of Grade 3 so chaotic?!" An angry roar came from outside the door.
A school leader who looked like he was on a discipline patrol pushed open the door. When it saw Xie Yunting's sword, it hesitated. The ghostly monster followers behind it gave it endless confidence, "You! What are you doing standing here during self-study?!"
Xie Yunting paused while holding the sword.
Tang Ning's heart sank. He suddenly understood why Xie Yunting, despite being very powerful, was maintaining a superficial relationship with that evil teacher.
Perhaps Xie Yunting could get rid of the ghost teacher in the classroom, or even all the ghost students in the classroom, but they were in a huge school, and there were thousands of ghosts lurking in this weird school.
This pattern is like when a younger one dies, an older one comes. Unless Xie Yunting is invincible enough to take down the entire ghost school, if an existence one level higher than the S-level copy is dispatched, once it violates the surface rules of this world, it is equivalent to confronting the supernatural forces of the entire world.
"You! What are you doing standing here?!" The monster charged Tang Ning who was hiding behind Xie Yunting and demanded an explanation. Even monsters were not immune to this code of conduct.
It walked into the classroom angrily and rushed directly towards Tang Ning. Behind it, a group of strange ghosts also rushed over.
Tang Ning subconsciously took a step back, his heart filled with despair at this moment. Even though he was using the Soul Fire at the cost of overdraft, he was unable to resist the endless stream of monsters.
The bloody tip of the sword pointed directly at the leading ghost.
Xie Yunting looked at the evil leader without giving in.
Suddenly, all the ghost students in the class said in unison: "Dean, it was the Chinese teacher who called him to the podium to analyze the test paper."
A series of cold and eerie voices converged together, so uniform that it sounded like one person was speaking.
The dean stopped and turned to look at the students sitting in their seats.
Every ghost classmate sat upright and stiffly, as if countless invisible threads controlled their joints, and even their upper and lower lips and tongues.
"Oh? Is that so?" The angry dean of studies miraculously calmed down. Behind him, the ghost teacher who was discussing problems with students had already turned into a pool of black ash, but he seemed not to have noticed the teacher's condition.
"Yes, he studies very hard." All the students answered in unison.
Tangning looked at the monsters who suddenly spoke for him in confusion. What was going on? Was he hallucinating? Aren't they enemies
Not only was Tang Ning shocked, but all the players also had expressions as if they had seen a ghost, even though they had indeed seen a ghost.
Those naughty students didn't look at Tangning. Instead, they stared at the dean with extreme persistence.
Cold and numerous gazes can put a lot of pressure on people, and it seems to be the same for ghosts.
The dean's mood was like a rubber ball, and he walked down the stairs with the momentum of questioning. "Have you finished discussing the questions of the two students? If you have, please return to your seats quickly."
Xie Yunting held the sword in one hand and held Tang Ning's hand with the other, which made her feel cold with fear.
Swish.
This was the sound made by all the ghost students as they turned their heads in unison to look at Tang Ning and Xie Yunting leading the group.
Tang Ning couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body. He tried his best to ignore those strange looks and let Xie Yunting lead him back to his seat.
The two of them returned to their respective seats and separated, but their gazes that were glued to Tang Ning did not separate.
It was like a group of cold and poisonous snakes crawling out of a snake den, spitting their tongues at their only prey.
Tang Ning couldn't help but frown. He looked at the table where Xie Yunting was sitting. There was no vibration on the table. It was just an ordinary table.
Where is the thing that is locked on the table
"Students, there are only the last two days left for the college entrance examination! The more you take the test, the clearer it will be when you remember things. Don't waste this precious review time! Do you understand?" The leader stood at the door and gave earnest advice.
Tangning looked up and saw that the countdown for the college entrance examination on the blackboard had changed from 3 to 2.
The evil leader left after he finished speaking, and at the same time, the bell for the end of get out of class rang.
The short break came, and none of the players felt relieved, especially Tang Ning, who was full of confusion.
What are those ghosts who suddenly speak for him? What is the thing in Xie Yunting's drawer? Where is that thing
Here’s a guess…
Is the other person his prince
"Xiao Ning, how are you?" Xie Yunting asked with concern. The scar on his palm had not healed yet, so he was concerned about Tang Ning's condition. He walked over to Tang Ning and examined her carefully.
After meeting Xie Yunting's clear gaze, Tang Ning felt a little ashamed.
He suddenly suspected that Dong might be his prince, not only because the other party was powerful and helped him, but also because of another reason that was a little difficult to say.
It was the kind of gaze that made his scalp tingle and made him feel a little familiar.
That kind of gaze is somewhat similar to that of a ghost, both are cold and terrifying, but the specific emphasis is subtly different. For example, both want to eat people, but one does it in a bloody way, while the other is a little hard to describe.
Tang Ning remembered the first time he met Mo Yunchu. Although Mo Yunchu hid it well and his eyes were particularly affectionate and gentle, there was a swallowing feeling that made him tremble.
After spending time with Xie Yunting, if it was inevitable that they were all children with innocent eyes on the first day, then on the second day, Xie Yunting could be described by Tangning as innocent.
In fact, when Xie Yunting was helping him wash up today, Tang Ning had been secretly observing him.
Xie Yunting's movements were very skillful and gentle, and it was obvious that he was very caring, which made him look like a prince. However, Tangning felt that Xie Yunting was just caring for him from beginning to end. His eyes were very pure, so pure that Tangning began to wonder if his head was full of dirty trash.
He was used to the prince's behavior of taking advantage of others at every turn, and Xie Yunting's integrity made Tang Ning a little uncomfortable.
…No. 1 seems to be innocent as well
The existence of Good Boy No. 1 made Tang Ning begin to feel uncertain again. Perhaps Xie Yunting's feelings for him were still stuck in his childhood and he couldn't change them for the time being.
"Can I see what's in your drawer?" Tangning asked Xie Yunting.
Xie Yunting nodded.
Tang Ning came to Xie Yunting's desk and squatted down. He did not find any portrait or other special items in the drawer. He only saw a school bag and two file bags full of love letters.
That's right. Even the things in Tang Ning's drawer would run away on their own. The person in Xie Yunting's drawer must be very powerful. How could he stay here quietly
The other players gathered around.
"What are those black and white photos in our drawer?" Tang Ning asked Xie Yunting.
Xie Yunting did not explain in detail, but just said: "Keep an eye on them, don't let them get out, and if they can be destroyed, it's best to destroy them."
"What will happen if they get out?" Tang Ning asked. Xie Yunting's own black and white photo got out. He was very worried about Xie Yunting's safety. Regardless of whether Xie Yunting was a prince or not, they were all friends.
Xie Yunting was silent for a while and said, "I don't know either."
Tang Ning looked at Xie Yunting worriedly.
"I'm fine." Xie Yunting comforted.
"Do all of us have this black and white photo?" Tang Ning thought of Lin Yun. Since he was worried that Lin Yun might also have this photo, if Lin Yun was not around, wouldn't his photo have been leaked
Xie Yunting shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.
Tang Ning came to Lin Yun's seat according to his memory from the seating chart. He squatted down and checked the drawer, but there was nothing inside.
Maybe it was because Lin Yun didn't come to class, so there were no such black photos in his drawer, or it was very likely that his black photos also ran away.
Just as Tangning was thinking, a familiar voice rang out at the door: "Tangning!"
Tang Ning raised her head and saw Lin Yun standing at the door.
Lin Yun looked a little tired, and it was obvious that he had just returned from outside. Tang Ning felt relieved to see that Lin Yun was able to return alive.
Lin Yun stood at the door and waved to Tang Ning. Tang Ning and the other players walked over. Lin Yun frowned and his expression was very serious, especially when he was looking at Xie Yunting.
"Tangning, I have something important to discuss with you alone," Lin Yun said bluntly.
"What's the matter?" Tang Ning was a little confused, but he did not refuse Lin Yun's request, because as for Tang Ning's soul fire and ancient coins, Xie Yunting would not sit idly by if anything happened.
Tang Ning came to the end of the corridor under the guidance of Lin Yun.
Arriving at this quiet corner, Lin Yun asked directly: "Do you like Xie Yunting?"
Tangning was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Lin Yun was doing.
"Just answer me directly." Lin Yun's tone was calm, not gossipy.
Did Lin Yun find clues about who the prince is
Tang Ning answered very frankly, "I have some feelings towards him." Indeed, there were some. On the first day, the young Xie Yunting was very cute, sunny and warm. On the second day, the grown-up Xie Yunting took good care of Tang Ning.
Lin Yun looked at Tang Ning deeply.
Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard from the other end of the corridor: "Tangning?!"
Tang Ning looked over and saw another Lin Yun running towards him anxiously, shouting, "Fuck! Who are you?! You're pretending to be me!"
Tang Ning took several steps back in an instant, and the fire of soul emerged from his palm. The one who moved faster than Tang Ning was Xie Yunting who was not far away. He raised his sword and a sharp little sword flew out, directly piercing the fake Lin Yun, and then hit the wall beside the corridor with a ding sound.
Tang Ning's eyes widened. He saw with his own eyes that the fake Lin Yun had turned into a black and white photo and was nailed to the wall.
At this moment, Tangning understood the consequences of the photo running away.
A lot of confusion came to my mind.
Why did the fake Lin Yun suddenly ask him such a question? Was the present Xie Yunting a fake
Tang Ning turned around and looked at Xie Yunting who was rushing towards him. Xie Yunting was holding Tang Ning and checking him over. His concern and nervousness for Tang Ning were written all over his face.
This kind of Xie Yunting doesn't seem fake.
Tang Ning looked at the black and white photo nailed to the wall. In the photo, Lin Yun had a large hole in his head caused by the tip of the sword, and he looked gloomy and scary. After Lin Yun ran over and saw the scene of his head being shot, he couldn't help but touch his head to make sure it was still there.
"Is it fake to you?" Zhou Kang looked at Lin Yun suspiciously.
Jiang Mianmian held up his half-broken glasses to look at the black-and-white photo, then looked at Lin Yun, "My glasses are broken, and I can no longer tell the fake from the fake."
"Of course I am!" Lin Yun said quickly, "I escaped death and came back to see you."
Lin Yun said that he worked part-time as a tutor this time, but he ended up tutoring a ghost child and all he was paid for tutoring was ghost money. He didn't make much money and he almost died there.
Simply running away has always been Lin Yun's specialty, which allowed him to save his life.
"What's the matter with this black and white photo?" Lin Yun asked.
"We don't know either, but we all have this black and white photo, and we can't let it get out. If it gets out, it might turn out to be what you just saw. It doesn't matter, the photo you have is nailed here, and it can't escape." Zhou Kang explained.
"Tangning, what did that fake Lin Yun say to you when he asked you to go out?" Jiang Mianmian asked.
"He asked me a question."
"What's the problem?" The players are all very concerned about this issue.
Tangning blinked, "He asked me if I liked Xie Yunting."
Xie Yunting, who was retracting the copper coin sword, looked at Tang Ning in disbelief. Tang Ning also looked at Xie Yunting with wide eyes.
He didn't see this silly look on Xie Yunting's face.
However, Xie Yunting seems to be a smart man. Although his expression is silly, it is this silly look that means he immediately understands what kind of liking it is.
It’s not the kind of love that children have when playing house, nor is it the kind that wants to be lifelong friends.
"I said, I have some feelings."
Xie Yunting's handsome face flushed red, and his ears looked as if blood was dripping from them. He didn't even dare to look Tang Ning in the eye, and looked away in embarrassment.
The players started one by one, knowingly pretending to be deaf and dumb.
The calmest person on the scene was Tangning. He looked at Xie Yunting calmly, almost scrutinizingly, which made Xie Yunting feel even more uncomfortable. Perhaps it was his damn desire to win that got the better of him. After Xie Yunting's face turned red, he was able to control his expression and looked at Tangning with difficulty.
He then stared into Tangning's beautiful eyes for two seconds before turning his head back with difficulty, staring into the distance and clearing his mind. Oh, it could also be that the amount of explosive information in his mind at that moment was building up, such as what -
Aren't we the best friends in the world?!
What does this kind of affection mean? Is it just a simple friendship? Is this the truth? Then why am I a little disappointed...
If Xie Yunting is a prince, he is the most innocent one among all the princes, more innocent than No. 1. At least when No. 1 hears such words, he will think about being close to his father even if his face blushes.
We can't just deny Xie Yunting's identity. Maybe the card game wants to deliberately change the prince's personality this time and show a prince who is completely different from the past.
Then present a prince who looks very much like his past personality.
No, in fact, the prince who looked like a monster also had a strange personality. Tang Ning guessed that he was able to control the voices of all the ghost classmates in the class, and that he should be able to control any monster.
The fake Lin Yun was most likely controlled by the other party. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why a monster, after getting a chance to be alone with Tang Ning, did not think about how to kill Tang Ning, but instead asked Tang Ning if she liked Xie Yunting.
If the other party was a prince, his reaction after learning that Tangning had a crush on Xie Yunting would not be so calm. Tangning knew how jealous the prince was.
Ah, it’s a headache.
No matter who the real prince is, for now, even the fake prince who confuses his judgment will try his best to protect him, so his safety factor is temporarily improved, and he has time to guess where the real prince is.
The Princess and the Pea card was used today, and the real prince will definitely appear. It could be Xie Yunting who has been with him and protecting him since the first day, or it could be a strange existence that suddenly appeared on the second day.
"Ding-ling-ling~" the class bell rang.
The players hurried back to the classroom, including Tang Ning and Xie Yunting. He found that Xie Yunting, who always liked to walk with him, did not hold Tang Ning's hand for the first time.
Tang Ning glanced at Xie Yunting and noticed that he was walking with his feet together.
… This is too exaggerated.
Tang Ning returned to his seat. The new teacher was a middle-aged man with a big belly. He sat in the classroom to supervise everyone's self-study and told everyone that they could go up and ask him if they had any math problems.
Tang Ning took out a math test paper from his schoolbag and fell into deep thought after looking at the first multiple-choice question.
Hmm, what is this? I seem to have learned it before, and I have a vague impression of it...
Tangning decided to skip this question. He looked at the second question and decided to skip it as well... He skipped all the way to the last question. Tangning's pen was shaking slightly.
Fortunately, choosing a prince is not as difficult as doing math problems.
But it doesn't matter! He has a pen fairy!
Tang Ning quickly summoned the Pen Fairy, looking forward to watching it shine.
As a result, the Pen Fairy also began to tremble slightly.
Tangning: “…?”
Tang Ning was horrified to find that this pen fairy seemed to be unable to do math problems!
Tang Ning quickly took out the test papers of various subjects from his schoolbag. After taking the test, Tang Ning found in despair that this pen fairy was very biased. He was only good at Chinese and could do a little bit of history. He was not good at anything else.
It seems that if he has to take the college entrance examination the next day, he can only rely on the Pen Fairy as a backup.
The sunlight outside the window is extremely dazzling, it is the midday sun.
Tang Ning watched the Pen Fairy struggling in the sea of questions for an entire class. When the self-study session was over, the countdown on the blackboard changed from "2" to "1".
Another new teacher walked into the classroom and announced to the students in the class: "Students, have you prepared the materials you don't want?"
Don’t want the information
Tang Ning didn't react at first, until he looked out the window and saw students in another teaching building cheering and throwing books. Materials fluttered down from high above, and it looked like a heavy snow was falling in the midday sky.
"Be careful not to throw away the black and white photos." The players reminded each other and walked out of the classroom and crowded in the corridor.
Xie Yunting's face, which had finally returned to normal, turned red again when he bumped shoulders with Tangning. He tried to act nonchalant as he opened the file bag and reached out to grab a handful of liquid and spilled it out.
Tang Ning glanced at the floating papers and vaguely seemed to see the words "Tang Ning". These seemed to be... the love letters that Xie Yunting took from his drawer this morning
"Xie Yunting—" Tang Ning called out subconsciously, but Xie Yunting trembled when he heard Tang Ning's voice and directly threw everything in the file bag out. It was not that he intended to throw these away. In fact, he didn't really look at which file bags he took. Ever since hearing Tang Ning's answer, Xie Yunting has been a little absent-minded.
Tang Ning saw the papers falling from the sky like large flakes of snow, and landed on the ground covered with white papers.
Looking from above, the picture is particularly beautiful.
Xie Yunting, who was standing next to Tang Ning, stopped throwing out the documents. He held his breath and looked at Tang Ning who was so close to him. The sun shone on Tang Ning, and the papers flying around him also reflected the light. Xie Yunting licked his lips, and a light layer of red spread on his cheeks again. It was hard to imagine such a handsome and noble man being so nervous that he would blush repeatedly.
"Xiao Ning." His Adam's apple rolled as Xie Yunting moved a little closer to Tang Ning so that his voice would not be drowned out by the huge cheers coming from all directions.
"I like you, too," he said.
