Failed Awakening, Summoning a Divine Beast, I Take Off On the Spot – Chapter 45

Ch 45: Eve of the National Exam

Just then, the Monk hurriedly ran over, his face full of excitement.

Seeing Chen Wen standing at the door, he was stunned for a moment, but after a brief hesitation, he hurriedly ran towards the courtyard.

Chen Wen watched the Monk’s receding figure, shook his head, and sighed inwardly: Compared to the tranquility and peace of Kan City, Yu City is truly turbulent, with new disputes and changes every day.

“Chen Wen, stay, there are new clues!”

Just as he was racking his brains, thinking about where to start, Fang Tian Ce’s slightly excited voice came from the courtyard.

As he spoke, he strode out, followed closely by the Monk, whose eyes revealed a hint of anticipation.

“They found a stronghold of the God Generals Society.”

Fang Tian Ce pointed to the Monk beside him, his tone carrying a hint of undisguised excitement.

Chen Wen was overjoyed when he heard this, as if he saw a glimmer of hope to quell this storm.

He immediately joined the others and went to the stronghold together, silently praying that they could wipe out the God Generals Society in one fell swoop.

However, when they rushed there, they found that it was already deserted, leaving only a scene of devastation.

Obviously, the people of the God Generals Society had received the news before they arrived and quickly evacuated.

“Internal and external troubles, it is clear that someone is informing them, this is not the first time.”

Looking at the chaos in front of him, Fang Tian Ce waved his hand helplessly: “Search it, it seems they left in a hurry, maybe we can find some overlooked clues.”

Chen Wen followed the others and carefully searched the stronghold, not letting go of every corner.

The items in the house were scattered all over the floor, and the footprints were intricate, indicating that there had been a hasty evacuation.

“City Lord, there’s a discovery here!”

The Monk’s voice came from the side room, carrying a hint of suppressed surprise, breaking the oppressive atmosphere in the room.

“City Lord, please look at these footprints.”

When Fang Tian Ce and Chen Wen hurriedly arrived at the side room, the Monk pointed to the messy footprints on one side of the wall and said.

His fingers wandered between the footprints: “The other footprints can be traced, but only these footprints have no origin, as if they fell from the sky, very strange.”

Chen Wen quickly looked down to check, and as the Monk said, there was a pair of footprints that seemed particularly special among the messy footprints.

The footprints were blurred, but appeared out of thin air, with the heels one in front of the other, as if they had walked directly out of the wall.

Chen Wen looked at the wall suspiciously, it looked extremely solid, without any flaws, and when everyone pushed it together, it didn’t move at all.

“Smash it!”

Seeing this, Fang Tian Ce decisively issued the order, it is better to directly break it open violently to find out.

With a burst of violent smashing by the soldiers, the wall finally collapsed, revealing a hidden secret room inside.

It turned out that a delicate mechanism had jammed the rotation of the wall, allowing the secret room to be hidden invisibly.

Although the secret room was not large, it was filled with boxes and sacks, each with a large “Chen” character printed on it, which was particularly conspicuous and dazzling.

Everyone hurriedly opened it and saw that it was filled with gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy, paintings, food, money and other valuables, piled up like a mountain, which was staggering.

“City Lord, it really was done by the God Generals Society! In order to obtain these properties, they cruelly killed Chen Huai’s family of eighteen people.”

Chen Wen carefully checked the “Chen” mark on the box and confirmed that it was left by the Chen Huai family’s special mark.

His tone was full of grief and indignation, mixed with a few hints of surprise at finding the truth.

“The thieves are really hateful! It’s a pity that they ran away!” Fang Tian Ce clenched his fists and said angrily, “In such a chaotic world, once they run away, I don’t know when they will be brought to justice.”

“Yes! The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, and now we have lost track of them, it is indeed very difficult to investigate.”

Chen Wen sighed, being able to find these clues, this trip has greatly exceeded his expectations.

He secretly rejoiced in his heart that he had finally given an explanation to the Chen Huai family, and he would be able to further improve his position among his peers because of this matter.

Therefore, he was not so obsessed with continuing to track down the whereabouts of the God Generals Society.

After all, he, Chen Wen, had done his best.

The day before the National Exam, after Chu Qiu sent Xia Mo to school, he met with City Lord Fang Tian Ce, Principal Fan Debiao, Mentor Xiao Ya and others in the city center to make final preparations for the upcoming National Exam.

“Chu Qiu, you really didn’t disappoint us. We have seen your efforts these days. I believe you will definitely achieve good results in the National Exam and justify Bridge Two Middle School’s name.”

Fang Tian Ce patted Chu Qiu on the shoulder, his praise overflowing, and his eyes flashed with infinite expectations for his future.

“Yes, Chu Qiu, your progress is really too great.” Fan Debiao also sighed with emotion, his voice with a hint of excitement: “This National Exam, you must not only fight for yourself, but also win glory for our Yu City! Every effort you make will be the glory of our Yu City.”

Before he could finish speaking, to everyone’s surprise, Director Gou Buli of the Yucheng Yuying Bureau arrived unexpectedly, bringing with him an aura of forced showing off.

His expression was unusually serious, and he looked at Fan Debiao: “Ahem, Old Fan, where are you putting the other students by saying that? The students of our Yuying Bureau are all excellent, and they are also working hard for the National Exam, day and night. We can’t just see Chu Qiu’s progress and ignore the efforts of other children.”

“As a student, it is your responsibility to win glory for the school and for Yu City. Take the exam well and don’t lose face for our Yuying Bureau.”

As he said that, he made a gesture to touch Chu Qiu’s head, but Chu Qiu instinctively dodged to the side, avoiding this sudden movement.

A man’s head and a woman’s waist cannot be touched unless they are lovers, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

After listening to Gou Buli’s words, Chu Qiu wanted to greet his parents even more, how could they teach such a person who doesn’t understand propriety, justice, integrity, or a sense of shame, and whose virtue is not worthy of his position.

But due to the occasion, he just replied coldly: “Director Gou is really as his name suggests, I will.”

After saying that, he ignored him and happened to see Fang Yan walking from a distance, found an excuse to slip away, leaving Gou Buli’s hand hanging in the air awkwardly shaking.

A trace of anger flashed in Gou Buli’s eyes, but he quickly regained his composure, shook his head, and sighed: “The students nowadays are full of personality, it’s really unpredictable!”

Fang Tian Ce and Fan Debiao looked at him, a trace of imperceptible disgust flashed in the corners of their eyes, and the two turned their heads at the same time, no longer speaking.

Chu Qiu found Fang Yan in the distance, and the first sentence was a head-on blow: “You are awesome!”

Fang Yan, praised inexplicably, was stunned on the spot, blinking her eyes, full of doubt: “Why are you so strange today? Did you drink stupid wife pee?”

“Instead of forcing yourself, struggling hard, it is better to let yourself go, and be more comfortable.” Chu Qiu looked at Fang Yan and smiled cheaply, “It seems that you know you can’t beat me, so you decisively chose to give up! Are you going to be a bystander in the National Exam?”

How could Fang Yan show weakness, her verbal combat power is not inferior to Chu Qiu, and she immediately retorted: “If I couldn’t beat you, I would have to let you see what it means to ‘pull out the radish and turn it into a pit’.”

When Chu Qiu heard this, he thought for a long time before realizing what it meant, and gave a thumbs up in praise: “Awesome! You can even think of this, you’re a perverted talent!”
