Fortunately, what he had been holding was not a real corpse, but the talisman transforming into his appearance—how terrifying… Wait a minute?!
Yin Mingfang felt a chill throughout his body. The woman’s laughter seemed to ring out again, and he still couldn’t tell if it was real or a hallucination.
“Hehe… hehe…”
Yin Mingfang jumped up as if shot, stumbling and rushing out of this terrifying street.
Luo Mingbai stayed in the dormitory until evening. Fang Wei had gone out to buy food, and Luo Yuanfan hadn’t returned. Instead, He Cheng and Gong Kang, whom he had previously rescued in the teaching building, arrived carrying bags, saying they wanted to thank their senior for saving their lives.
Luo Mingbai was surprised, welcomed them in, and smiled, saying, “No need to be so formal. I was just passing by. How are you both? No lingering trauma?”
He Cheng quickly responded, “No, no. I’ve been fine recently, completely fine. If you ever need help, senior, just command me.”
Although He Cheng answered quickly, Gong Kang felt the question was directed at him.
He looked up at Luo Mingbai and was startled to find Luo Mingbai looking directly at him. He forced a smile and lowered his head.
He Cheng and Gong Kang didn’t stay long before leaving. After exiting, He Cheng became starry-eyed, praising Luo Mingbai non-stop as they walked—how handsome he was, how good his studies were, how skilled in magic, and how approachable without airs.
After talking for a while and receiving no response, He Cheng found it strange and asked, “What’s wrong with you? You’ve been distracted these past few days. Did you encounter some difficulties? If so, tell me, and I’ll see if I can help.”
Gong Kang was silent for a moment, then said, “No. He Cheng, thank you. You’re truly my best brother, and I will definitely repay you.”
He Cheng: “…That’s too formal.”
Gong Kang paused, then added, “Go back to the dorm first. I have something to do and will return later. I’ll bring you dinner when I come back.”
After saying this, Gong Kang turned and quickly ran back to Luo Mingbai’s dormitory, took a deep breath, and knocked twice on the door.
“Come in,” came the reply.
