Chapter 258: Chaos Breeds Concern
The perception of the immortals is indeed a bit mysterious. Bai Wei currently doesn’t even have a physical form, it’s like logging in remotely with a VPN, yet it can still be sensed.
But even if it’s sensed, it doesn’t change anything, she still can’t be caught.
Without a specific anchor to the spiritual world coordinates, searching for someone in the spiritual world is no different from throwing oneself into the vast ocean of consciousness.
The last time Bai Wei saw Yun Chuyou was on the stage of the Kirin Race, and they haven’t met since then. It has been several years.
Her appearance is very similar to Yun Wuxin , but these two sisters have completely different temperaments, even if it’s the first time meeting, one can tell that they are different people.
Having a doppelgänger is not that big of a deal, there are fifty to thirty people on Earth who look like oneself, and there are three who look extremely similar, but one can’t possibly meet the other person in one’s lifetime. If they do happen to meet, they’ll probably have to become sworn siblings.
Michelle immediately found an excuse to leave, pretending to be scared, but in reality, she wanted to spend some time alone with Mr. Devil.
Being with someone nearby would easily expose her flaws, and she wanted to keep this secret forever.
Alena expressed her understanding and said she would inform Dulahhan .
Before leaving, Michelle noticed Judy’s thoughtful and meaningful gaze.
She forced a smile and quickly walked away. Rather than being scared, it was more like being eager, which confirmed certain suspicions.
"Tsk…" Judy clicked her tongue lightly.
"If you want to bully Michelle , you have to get past me first," Alena thought Judy was displeased and warned.
"You’ve got the wrong idea," Judy glanced at Alena, shook her head, and gave the clueless girl a sympathetic look.
In a soft voice that only she could hear, she said, "I just wanted to scare her a little."
Of course, it might not even count as a scare.
…
After Michelle left the group, she chattered away with Bai Wei about the events of these days.
Most of it was about the Golden Engraving, with a few trivial things that happened in the past few days.
She saw Bai Wei as another self who could share secrets, and she could explain everything in great detail.
Perhaps because she couldn’t keep it to herself, or perhaps because she easily trusted anyone.
As she spoke, she also gave Bai Wei a glimpse of the theme of the campus celebration.
The campus celebration was mainly about fun and games, with various clubs hosting activities, including professors.
Every professor had to present at least three research projects.
Some were more classic, like presenting a question where the answer would be a clue or solution to a puzzle, and once the students figured out the puzzle, they would find the reward placed by the professor in a designated location.
Some professors were more cunning, deliberately putting out rewards with a special kind of magic that required analyzing the nature of the outer layer of the magic to obtain the prize. It was like playing a game, where you see a bright purple orb right in front of you, but no matter how you jump, you can’t reach it. That kind of frustration that makes you scratch your head and jump in anxiety would delight the creator of the question.
There were also some more complex tasks, where professors would assign certain tasks to the students, like selling shampoo to balding professors, or making a dish called "Stargazing" in front of a chef and watching them eat it, or even cleaning the underground sewer of the Tulip Academy and collecting scattered gold coins. But be careful, as there are four muscular and towering turtle-like creatures living in the underground sewer who would warmly welcome the students who come down.
In addition to that, there were also some haunted houses and roller coasters without tracks that were more realistic.
Some students who loved cooking and the infamous Creative Ingredients Club were confident in opening their own shops, but the result was that their shops were as empty as a ghost town.
A student from another school who was hungry came here to find food, but ended up entering the doors of the Creative Ingredients Club and was greeted by the sight of wolves, pigs with nine heads, and chickens with three heads, all transformed through various biological magic. They were so scared that they fainted and had to be carried away. This group of students were quite regretful because there were only a few creative ingredients there. By the way, the signature dish here was called Genesis, which was said to combine eighty-one different flavors and included various ingredients like Neysu mushrooms and apple coffee. After drinking it, one could experience countless tastes, including sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty, and ascend in broad daylight to face the ultimate source and world.
It was said to be a shortcut to starting life over.
Walking on and off, Bai Wei also saw the lively side of the campus celebration. Seeing Michelle looking happy, he didn’t know how to bring up the matter of Chao Lu for a moment. Directly greeting her should be fine. "I might be busy for the next two days, with the campus celebration and the fellowship competition, I might not have time to focus on them." Bai Wei explained, "I came to see today as an early notice." "I see." Michelle felt a bit regretful. If Mr. Devil accompanied her, she wouldn’t feel nervous on the stage and would instead be full of courage. She adjusted her mood and said, "I’ll be fine, I will do my best to get in the top three and win the golden Tree Seed." "Okay, I leave it to you. I can’t help you much, and it’s unlikely for you to make significant progress in a short time." Bai Wei nodded. Michelle needed time to grow, and it was a small regret that he couldn’t witness her transformation in person, but Chao Lu ‘s matter had to take priority. "There’s one more thing," Bai Wei said. "What is it?" Michelle held her milk tea and found a chair to sit down. "It’s about Chao Lu ‘s whereabouts." "Hmm." Michelle looked serious, biting the straw with her teeth and tensing her expression. She had asked Mr. Devil to investigate this matter before and had been eager to know the result, but she didn’t dare to rush him. "She is safe now," Bai Wei said. "Really?" "She is in a safe place now. I can’t tell you the exact location because knowing wouldn’t make a difference. You are a resident of Europa, and she is the princess of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom. The two of you are destined to be separated for a relatively long time." "I know that," Michelle breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as she is safe." Bai Wei thought about whether to send the items left by Chao Lu , but he couldn’t send the letter. He could send the cut hair, but he decided to put it aside for now. When he obtained the golden tree branch, he could directly anchor the coordinates of the two places through it to teleport items. It would be more convenient to send the letter together at that time. After settling things, Bai Wei checked the time and realized that it was already evening. It was time to leave. He didn’t plan to stay for a long time; he only came to take care of some matters. However, when he saw Yun Chuyou , his mood became complicated. So Yun Chuyou cares about her sister so much. Hmph! I still want to try prying at this corner… This revengeful thought circled in his mind but was thrown out by Bai Wei . The grievances and conflicts between the two of them should not involve innocent bystanders. Yun Wuxin was unrelated and should not be blamed. Moreover, this girl had helped him a lot and was much better than her sister… And it had been so long ago that the hatred had faded, and the desire for revenge was not profound. He just wanted to see her defeat and then sneak away back to Bai Yu Jing, with his daoist heart damaged and leaving behind the internal demon. Was that too much? Bai Wei left a warning, "Don’t provoke Yun Chuyou , and don’t let your friends provoke her either. This woman is very ruthless, and any severe injury on either side will be an international issue."
Michelle obediently nodded and said she remembered, then Mr. Devil went offline.
She waited for a few more minutes, confirming that Mr. Devil was no longer there, and laughed foolishly.
She had encountered nothing but good things all day, so naturally she was happy.
But just as she was happily thinking about it, she heard a conversation behind her. Among the bustling crowd, she could clearly hear this particular exchange.
They were students from the Blue Iris University.
Michelle hadn’t looked at the information and didn’t know who they were, but she felt that these three people had fierce expressions and didn’t seem like good people.
"Speaking of which, Lord Bai Ze’s daughter is studying here."
"I heard about that too. Many elites from the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom have come here seeking political asylum."
"Their kingdom is about to fall, so they can only come here to hide. It must be difficult for the princess to go from royalty to a commoner."
"No…" The red-haired tall youth with a slight pause said, "She has some backbone. At least she didn’t stay in Europa struggling for survival. Although she is absolutely safe here, no one wants to do anything to her."
"Did she go back?"
"The Gray Tidal locked down the sea, how could she go back?"
"She left before the Gray Tidal came, but her luck was a bit bad." The red-haired boy showed his sharp teeth. "The ship she was on sank halfway."
"Oh?" Several demons from Lord Qiongqi’s subordinates, the Qiongqi Kingdom, glanced at each other and smiled knowingly. "Her luck is really bad. The ship sank midway in the open sea. It’s probably completely gone."
"It was the open sea, no one knows what might happen there."
"Because she left in a hurry, she didn’t choose a safer route either."
"It’s a pity, Bai Ze Kingdom is considered destroyed. If she was still there, she could have chosen a political marriage and maybe saved half of the population."
They were all demons from the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, discussing the situation within their country with smirks on their faces. They all considered themselves winners and had no psychological pressure.
Sending the heir to Europa was both a way to avoid risks and a form of binding interests.
But for the young and reckless demons, it was still frustrating that they couldn’t fight the enemy in their own country and could only vent their frustrations here.
Careless words may lead to trouble.
Michelle was stunned, she was confused. On one hand, she had heard that Chao Lu was safe, on the other hand, she heard that Chao Lu had disappeared and sunk with a ship.
She became nervous, not just because of Chao Lu’s safety, but also because there was a conflict in the intelligence.
"I… I want to ask Alena…" She stood up unsteadily, wanting to clarify, dispel the uneasiness in her heart. Although what these people said might be false information, she was afraid… afraid of being deceived and hidden by Mr. Devil.
