Shi Sheng only left the villa after making sure that Liang Ge had pasted the talisman all around.
She hurried through the night, the wind blowing her skirt and causing it to flutter.
Very good!
Now it's time to find out which little bitch was plotting against I.
Shi Sheng returned to the academy. There was no light at night, making the place look like a giant beast prowling in the darkness.
The BHA hadn't retreated yet, and Shi Sheng saw several people lying in ambush.
Shi Sheng avoided them and circled around the academy.
Silence.
The academy was terrifyingly quiet.
Shi Sheng looked through every inch of the school but didn't find anything out of the ordinary.
He jumped onto the tallest building in the academy, but there was already someone there.
Shi Sheng raised an eyebrow, blue light flashing in his eyes.
What was the male lead doing here?
Zuo Lie turned around and glanced at her coolly. "You still dare to come back to the academy."
Shi Sheng took a few steps forward. "They can't catch me. What's there to be afraid of?"
Zuo Lie: "…" That arrogant tone was really asking for a beating.
Shi Sheng tilted his head curiously. "Why are you reminding me?"
What was wrong with the male lead?
"It seems you don't know anything," Zuo Lie said in a low voice after a long pause.
Shi Sheng was dumbfounded.
Know what?
Zuo Lie turned around and looked at her, a black-gold invitation in his hand.
He handed it to Shi Sheng. "The vampire banquet is about to begin."
Vampire banquet? Wasn't that …
It was a banquet between vampire hunters and vampires. The official explanation was that it would allow vampire hunters and vampires to interact better.
But every vampire banquet had a bad ending and was eventually canceled. Why was it being restarted now?
"Some vampires have impure thoughts. We're in a dangerous situation now. Be careful." Seeing that Shi Sheng didn't accept the invitation, Zuo Lie put it on an abandoned desk. "Purebred vampires have always been the target of their jealousy. I don't want to be your enemy."
Purebred vampires were different from other vampires in terms of ideology and politics. But because they were powerful, they occupied an important position among the vampires.
Therefore, even though the purebred Blood Breeds had a high status within the Blood Breeds, they were not very popular.
Shi Sheng's eyes swivelled. "So you're saying the vampires are targeting me?"
Zuo Lie's expression was somewhat gloomy. "Not necessarily."
Not necessarily?
Wasn't it definitely a vampire?
Shi Sheng narrowed his eyes. "That's not the point. Zuo Lie, don't beat around the bush. What do you want?"
There was also competition between the purebred vampires, not to mention that she and Zuo Lie had a little conflict. Zuo Lie wouldn't be so kind as to remind her.
"I do have something I need your help with." Since Shi Sheng had already brought it up, Zuo Lie didn't try to hide it anymore. "There's another important reason for this Blood Breed Banquet, which is to elect a new Blood Breed King. I need your support."
Shi Sheng sneered, "There hasn't been a King in a hundred years. Why do you want to choose one now?"
Ever since the Blood Breeds and the humans signed the treaty of alliance and the death of the previous king, the Blood Breeds' king had not been elected.
The Blood Breeds had always been managed by a few Grand Princes, and their authority was scattered, forming a stable balance.
"I suddenly received the news." If not for the news, he wouldn't have risked choosing a woman like Mi Nai.
All these years, he had been ostracized by the Blood Breeds. Although he had secretly nurtured some of them, they were still not as strong as the support of the purebred vampires.
Shi Sheng rubbed his chin and thought for a moment before saying, "I'm not interested in participating in this kind of thing, but since they've offended me, I don't mind exterminating some trash."
Zuo Lie thought about it and understood what Shi Sheng meant.
She wouldn't help him, but she wouldn't make things difficult for him either. The prerequisite was that he didn't offend her.
If those old fogeys heard such an arrogant tone, they would probably jump up and beat her to death.
Zuo Lie was somewhat disappointed, but he also understood that the chances of her helping him were close to zero. After all, the family behind her …
Knowing that it was impossible, Zuo Lie didn't stay any longer and left after reminding Shi Sheng to be careful.
Shi Sheng took the invitation, but didn't open it. Instead, he twirled it around his finger and put it back into his space.
A storm was brewing.
After standing on the rooftop for a moment, Shi Sheng leapt off the building and disappeared into the night.
…
Shi Sheng didn't show himself in the dark. The vampire hunters seemed to be somewhat anxious and finally retreated from the academy.
But as soon as they left, another blood-sucking incident occurred.
This time, it was none other than Ai Wei's roommate.
The academy, which hadn't yet calmed down, immediately burst into an uproar and demanded an explanation from the academy.
Some parents even directly took their children home, while others directly transferred them to another school.
The academy was frantic.
Principal's office.
"Mr Du, you promised us that this kind of thing would never happen again. How do you explain this now?" The principal angrily questioned Du Jue.
Du Jue's expression was unsightly. The people he had arranged had all pretended to retreat, but there were still people hiding in the dark. But under such circumstances, someone had still died.
He felt that he had been provoked.
"Mr Du, you don't have the ability to do this. I suggest that you send someone more experienced." The principal clearly had some understanding of the BHA, and his words were full of energy.
"Principal, I'll take care of this matter." Du Jue raised his head and met the principal's gaze. Beneath his spectacles, his eyes flashed with a cold light.
The principal was stunned by that gaze, and his aura suddenly weakened by half.
"Give me an exact time." The principal took a step back.
"Three days," Du Jue said. "If I can't catch her in three days, I'll be at the mercy of the BHA."
"Alright, then I'll give you three more days."
Du Jue walked out of the principal's office and rubbed his temples tiredly.
He hadn't rested much these past few days.
When he returned to the temporary gathering place, Du Jue's men immediately surrounded him.
"Leader, how did it go?"
"We've fought for three days. If we can't catch Mi Nai in three days, we'll all have to return to the BHA to receive punishment."
The group exchanged glances.
They had been waiting for so long, but they hadn't even caught a glimpse of Mi Nai's shadow.
"Isn't that Xi Yin by her side …" someone whispered. Previously, they had seen that their leader was rather wary of that man and had even given up on Mi Nai.
"We didn't have enough evidence last time, but we have enough evidence this time. We're just following the rules." Moreover, Xi Yin wasn't by her side.
Du Jue pushed his spectacles up and restrained the cold light in his eyes. He calmly said, "We don't have much time. She's definitely still in the academy. Tonight, we'll lure her out."
"Leader, there's a call for you."
The people surrounding him dispersed to do their work, and Du Jue went to answer the call.
"Leader, we discovered a tomb in the northern suburbs of the city. We might need you to come take a look."
"What tomb?" He was so busy right now that he didn't have the time to look at a tomb.
"We're not sure either … It looks quite old, and inside … I can't explain it clearly over the phone. Leader, it's better if you come in person."
Du Jue rubbed his forehead. Three seconds later, he said, "Alright, I'll be there in the afternoon."
After a few more words, Du Jue hung up.
Northern suburbs of the city …
Tomb …
What was Xi Yin trying to tell him? Or was it a trap?
