Under the dusky sky, in the only still lit meeting room in the Hundred Treasures Academy, there were no less than twenty sleepy and hazy people lying on the conference table. The youngest of these people was already middle-aged, and even Xiao Yao's teacher, Dan Teng, was present. It was obvious that all of the more esteemed professors in the academy were present here.

A moment later, these lazy fellows seemed to have been electrocuted as they suddenly sat up. Under the gazes of the crowd of teachers, an old man with a head full of flowery hair slowly appeared before everyone's eyes.

If Xiao Yao was here at this moment, he would definitely be grinning from ear to ear in shock. This was because the last old man to appear was the old man who caught Xiao Yao in the Casino at Sweet Town and gave up on him on purpose.

After the old man stood in the middle of the conference table, his gaze swept across all of the teachers who had tried their best to keep their spirits up. With an aged voice, he said, "I'm very sorry. It's already so late. I'll disturb your rest!"

An elderly spoke up, "Headmaster, it has been a long time since you last summoned us teachers. Something big must have happened!"

"It's not a big deal. It's just that there are too many people around during the day." After giving a brief explanation, the dean changed the topic, "The academy has just received news that at the western end of the main road, in a place where the major superpower families are relatively weaker, a power called the Discipline Sanctuary is rapidly rising."

Hearing the name of the Discipline Hall, Tengshan frowned and said, "When I came back, I had heard of this power. However, all the academies on this road belong to the motherland. What does their rise to power have to do with us?"

The dean shook his head and said, "The reason why I'm summoning you all is because this power is too strange. It's as if his rise was just for an instant. The complicated and small forces seemed to have made an agreement with each other. In a single night, they had become completely subordinate to the Discipline Judgement. Even the people who were stationed there by the large families were no exception. "

"Hiss!"

Hearing the dean's report, nearly twenty teachers sucked in a breath of cold air. All of their hazy sleep was instantly gone. From their point of view, if it was said that the belonging of a small and medium-sized power surprised them, then the forces stationed at the western end of the road would also follow, and that could only be described as incredulous.

In the deathly silence of the conference hall, an incredulous voice rang out from somewhere. "Headmaster, this... "What is the authenticity of this information?"

"The authenticity doesn't need to be questioned at all. In the future, teachers should be careful. The road to superpower might not be peaceful again!" The dean had an extreme understanding of his teachers' astonishment. When he had first seen the intelligence report, the shock in his heart was definitely no less than that of anyone who was seated.

Just as the atmosphere in the meeting room turned solemn, everyone once again cast their gazes towards the door because there came the sound of chaotic footsteps.

Since he hadn't arranged a place for Xiao Yao to stay for the time being, he had asked Xiao Yao to stay at his place first while he himself went to another place. Therefore, he didn't know that Xiao Yao hadn't come back that night.

"Come in!" As the messy footsteps stopped and they did not need to knock on the door, the dean, who had sensed this long ago, called out, "Come in!"

The owner of these footsteps was truly rude. After a slight pause, he pushed the door open with a bang. The person in the lead was dressed in light purple. It was the extremely beautiful Li Sisi and the golden-haired Bi Yuntao.

When the dozen or so people returned to the academy, the first thing they saw was the lights on in the conference room. They ran over without thinking at all. However, they did not expect that there would be so many professors present in this meeting room. However, they were all freshmen, so they did not know who was who.

"Alright, quiet down!" As the principal, even if he wasn't the strongest in the academy, he wasn't far from it. A seemingly calm but intimidating voice rang out, causing the dozens of youths to shut their mouths at the same time.

After confirming that everything was quiet, the dean then continued, "Send someone over to explain it to us!"

Under the influence of the dean, the ten students, who no longer had any temper, looked at each other. In the end, Bi Yuntao, the person in question, stepped forward.

Even if they violated the academy's rules, the student's disappearance was not a small matter. After listening to Bi Yuntao's story, the dean, who had been calm a moment ago, turned green. "Go back and reflect on it. We'll wait for the academy's punishment when the term begins!"

"Yes sir!"

After handing over the burden, the dozen people, who had been relieved of their burden, replied bitterly and quickly left the meeting room, as if they were afraid that the dean would lose his temper.

As Xiao Yao's teacher, Tantai Teng was the first to not be able to sit still. He took the initiative to bring the academy's guards into the forest to search. With the permission of the dean, he quickly left the meeting room.

Looking at the departing figure of Dan Teng, the dean, who did not believe in ghosts and gods, muttered, "The strange beasts in the forest have all been chased out by us. I just hope that this student won't be eaten by wild beasts!"

The next morning, the dozen or so people they met in the cafeteria were clearly not in a good mood. Even Li Sisi, who usually had an indifferent and haughty expression, appeared somewhat haggard at this moment. When they returned to class together, no one said anything. It was obvious that the simple-minded teenagers were blaming themselves for Xiao Yao's disappearance.

However, the moment the dozen students stepped into the classroom, their gloomy expressions were instantly replaced by astonishment.

As everyone looked over, they saw a well-proportioned youth sitting in the middle of the class. The lightning patterns on his forehead were especially eye-catching, who else could it be that everyone thought Xiao Yao was missing?

"Xiao …" Xiao Yao … Are you a human or a ghost? "

When he saw everyone enter, he was initially considering how to fulfill the bet, but was stunned by their words. He immediately rolled his eyes and said, "Of course it's people? Which ghost have you all seen wandering around in broad daylight! "

"Then last night …" Even though Xiao Yao had said that, the dozen or so people already thought that he had disappeared, or even died, and all of them stared at each other, not daring to approach him.

Upon mentioning last night, Xiao Yao rolled his eyes and pretended to be angry: "You guys still have the nerve to mention last night? "I have been waiting in the entrance of the forest for the day to come. You heartless bastards actually ran off on your own after throwing me off!"

Just as the dozen youths wanted to say something to test if Xiao Yao was really still alive, they were immediately interrupted by Xiao Yao. "Aiya, where did all this nonsense come from?
