Early in the morning, the group took the train to Tong County. Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Being a teacher for the first time in the county, Mo Fan was actually quite excited. For example, the respectful attitude the students had toward him. Although he didn't treat the teachers as his elders when he was still a student, seeing these young and impetuous people treating him with the respect of an elder was quite a good feeling!
"Yeah, that's right, it's a little sore here. Rub it a little harder," Mo Fan was lying comfortably on the luxurious chair as he pointed at the sweet-looking girl.
"Is that it? Teacher, you must have overworked yourself to have so many problems. You should pay more attention to your health," the girl said seriously.
"It's fine, it's fine, I'm still young and strong. You … you're Zhou Lixin, right? Get me a glass of orange juice, I want it iced," Mofan looked behind him and said to the old-fashioned student.
"Okay, okay!" Zhou Lixin immediately ran to the carriage supply shop.
Bai Hongfei's face darkened. Wasn't this teacher a little too good at ordering people around?
Moreover, this tutor was a little too young. Although some men in their thirties looked like youths in their twenties, the other tutors under Dean Xiao were all in their forties and fifties. They were highly respected and had a much higher success rate when applying for an outstanding graduate. He didn't know if this young Teacher Mo had the qualifications to give him an outstanding graduate.
"Bai Hongfei, I can tell that you are a proud and arrogant person. You should be down-to-earth instead of biting off more than you can chew. No one can reach the sky in a single bound!" Mofan lectured Bai Hongfei since he had nothing better to do.
"Yes, yes, you're right," Bai Hongfei was displeased on the inside, but he still maintained a respectful expression on his face.
Mui Nujiao was amused when she saw how experienced Mofan was acting. She also felt that Mofan was being too shameless. He had just argued with Dean Xiao not long ago, insisting that he was not willing to be a lecturer. However, he was enjoying himself in the blink of an eye. He was completely immersed in his role.
…
When they arrived at Tongxiang County, Mofan opened up the map and saw that many of the canals in Tongxiang County had been modified. It was not a big deal when they were inside the canals, but they could see how brilliant the modifications were when they were looking down from an altitude of five hundred meters.
"Let's go, we have to leave the safe zone and follow the water to the place where the canals are …" Mofan said to the students.
The students were on alert as soon as they left the safe zone. Unlike Mofan, who had been dealing with demon creatures since high school, they did not have much experience in life and death situations.... As such, they were on alert as soon as they left the safe zone.....
"This water vein comes from Biyuan Mountain, and this one comes from Qinyi Lake. Master, I'll go to Biyuan Mountain to take a look. I've been there before, so I'm quite familiar with the place," Bai Hongfei volunteered.
"Are you sure it's going to be fine?" Mofan asked.
"We're here to train ourselves. If the advisors have to do everything with us, what's the point of training? Besides, we're here to share the advisors' burdens. Our top priority is to deal with the water vein as soon as possible," Bai Hongfei said sternly.
The other students wore disdainful looks when they heard Bai Hongfei's words. Bai Hongfei was acting so smug just a moment ago. Why was he trying to flatter their teacher so shamelessly?
"Lecturer, I'll take care of Xu Jiaxi. I'm sure I'll be able to find the reason!" another conceited student said, unwilling to back down.
"Lecturer, I'll take care of Minghe!"
Mofan nodded in satisfaction when he saw the students volunteering to share his burdens.
It felt great to have underlings to carry out missions. He did not even have to do the work himself.
"Be careful. Send me a signal as soon as anything happens. I'll provide you with support as soon as possible," Mofan said.
As a lecturer, it was his duty to ensure the safety of the students. Mofan did not dare to be careless.
"Mui Nujiao, you should follow Bai Hongfei. The demon creatures in Biyuan Mountain are quite dense. I'm worried that the kid might be in trouble," Mofan said.
"Sure, Biyuan Mountain is a huge water vein, after all. I'm worried if he's going alone," Mui Nujiao nodded. Was he waiting for her to agree? Mui Nujiao suddenly realized something was not right. She pinched Mo Fan and snapped, "Are you treating me like I'm your student too?"
"How would I dare? Hehe, you're the leader, you're the leader!" Mofan smiled awkwardly.
"That's more like it. I'll be going," Mui Nujiao quickly followed Bai Hongfei.
However, Mui Nujiao did not follow Bai Hongfei. After all, it was the final exam of the school. The lecturers and their assistants were only responsible for the safety of the students. The students had to complete the tasks on their own.
"Lecturer, what are we going to do?" a sweet-looking female student stood beside Mofan and asked with a silly look.
Mo Fan scanned his surroundings. It was a typical wilderness, a perfect crime scene. He turned around and said to Cao Qinqin, who was unaware of his presence, "Let's go take a bath at Qinyi Lake. The weather is too hot for me."
Cao Qinqin's cheeks immediately turned red. The other water veins had been snatched away by others. She couldn't do anything but stay by her teacher's side. Who would have thought that her teacher would say something like this? It really made her feel like she was violating her teacher's teachings!
"Oh, I mean, I'm going for a swim. You can wait for them on the shore," Mofan immediately corrected himself when he saw the girl looking at him strangely.
"…"
…
When they arrived at Qinyi Lake, Mofan immediately realized why it was called Qinyi Lake when he saw the smooth surface of the lake. It was such a beautiful place. Unfortunately, it was outside the safe zone. Otherwise, many people would drive here in the middle of the night and shake their cars while enjoying the view of the lake … it was a popular pastime among the people in the city.
"Damn it, why am I getting dirtier as a lecturer?" Mofan cursed himself in his heart. Shouldn't a lecturer be a role model for others?
"Lecturer, what are you talking about?" Cao Qinqin asked with a confused look.
"Nothing, it's nothing. By the way, if the water from Qinyi Lake is channeled to Tongxiang County, wouldn't it be like adding another energy generator to the Water Circulation Formation? The water here is deep and the water level is high, but it's not channeled to Tongxiang County," Mofan exclaimed as he looked at the beautiful lake.
"Lecturer, lecturer, don't you think it's strange?" Cao Qinqin suddenly stood behind Mofan, as if she had seen something terrifying.
"Strange, not strange at all. It's such a nice place, and there aren't any demon creatures around. It's a great place to cleanse one's soul … Cao Qinqin, now that you mention it, I do think it's strange too, but I can't quite put my finger on it." Mofan stood around five hundred meters away from Qinyi Lake. He had a strange feeling as he stared at the tranquil lake.
"Reflection, it's a reflection, lecturer …" Cao Qinqin said softly.
Mofan was startled. He quickly glanced at the lake and immediately felt a chill running down his spine!
Reflection, the lake was so calm. He could not even see the slightest ripple, but why was there no reflection in the lake!?
The lake was so blue and smooth, yet it did not reflect the clouds in the sky, nor the mountains and trees nearby. Mofan finally understood why Cao Qinqin was trembling in fear!
"Why isn't there any reflection? Is it not water?" Mofan did not go any further.
The lake had a diameter of more than three kilometers. It was definitely a very large lake in this mountain forest. It was surrounded by mountains on all sides, but there was not a single reflection of the mountains on the lake. This was too strange!
"Lecturer, let's … let's go," Cao Qinqin was starting to feel scared.
Such a huge lake, if it wasn't water, then what could fill it up??
"Mm, let's call the others back first. Something doesn't feel right here," Mofan said.
Mofan did not step into the lake recklessly. He had no idea what the blue thing that filled the lake was. If it were up to him, Mofan would go and take a look himself. However, considering that many students were scattered around the area, Mofan could not afford to be reckless.
…
Mofan soon brought the others back. Mu Nujiao and Bai Hongfei were the last to return. It was obvious that they had run into some trouble.
"Did you find anything?" Mofan asked.
"No, the water is normal. The water is flowing toward Tongxiang County. It doesn't seem to be blocked."
"Yeah, everything is normal."
Mofan looked at Mu Nujiao. Mu Nujiao hesitated for a moment before saying, "We only stumbled into some Blood-breaking Mosquito Demons, but everything else is normal."
"Did you go any closer?" Mofan asked.
"No, most of the water sources are occupied by demon creatures. We didn't dare to go too close," Bai Hongfei said.
"Then … did you see any reflection in the water?" Mofan asked.
"Reflection?"
The students were startled. They could not recall Mofan's sudden question. After all, apart from some quiet lakes and ponds, it was rare to see any reflection in the water.
"I … I don't think so!" Mu Nujiao suddenly realized something. She was astounded.
"Maybe the water is flowing."
"That's not it. I was wondering why I felt something was off. It turns out that there was no reflection. The pond I saw didn't have a reflection. It was a very dense green color," Mui Nujiao said confidently.
Mofan's heart sank. It turned out that the water of Qinyi Lake was not the only problem.
Was it because of the water, or was there something else on the surface that was difficult to identify?
