Ch 291: The End of a Professional Career

Discussing the past inevitably brings self-doubt, Da Tiantian turned her head to avoid the issue.

The head that had turned away turned back again, wanting to say something more, but Pa Hua Luo Di didn’t give her the chance.

“That Ou Pa, whatever you thought of, we’ll talk about it later.” No matter what it was, no matter how important, he was genuinely unable to do anything right now.

It must have been because Wu Yan angered him!

He ran away in a flash, his movements cautious yet swift, every action revealing the director’s concern for face.

Da Tiantian, worried, hurriedly followed.

Eric glanced at the food that hadn’t worked, then looked away, towards Ou Pa: “What did you think of?”

“I remembered that when Xu Xingchun was still the head nurse at Meng Academy, she had a very useful personal remedy for students with diarrhea.”

Piao A Piao told him this—they would chat about all sorts of random things during their idle conversations.

At that time, Xu Xingchun, because of her gentleness and her extraordinary, highly efficient professional skills, coupled with her recent graduation and young age, became the focus of many students’ discussions.

Wu Yan mentioned before leaving that Director Pa had diarrhea because he drank Xu Xingchun’s magic drink, and he suddenly remembered this.

“Good, do you have any impression of that student?” Having been in charge of shelter-related matters, name calls, and questioning these past few days, Eric had a concrete impression of many students.

“No.” He only heard Piao A Piao mention it, “Piao A Piao might have some.”

But Ou Pa felt the probability was low.

“It’s okay, I’ll go to the shelter and ask later.” Even if he didn’t find out, there were other students currently brewing potions; trying one by one, it would eventually work…

Perhaps he should first ask his classmates to brew some potions to increase physical strength.

Director Pa might not be able to hold on.

“Teacher He Yan, you mentioned earlier what Jian Ni said?” Before leaving, Eric passed by He Yan and remembered this.

“Oh, Jian Ni said that he felt Wu Yan was acting strangely recently, somewhat sensitive and suspicious, perhaps reaching an age stage with similar rebellious or menopausal behaviors.”

After being interrupted by Wu Yan’s sudden appearance, He Yan hadn’t planned to mention it again.

This guess was really baffling.

Literally, Wu Yan did this because of sensitivity and rebellion?

“He said Wu Yan kept asking ‘Why would you still trust me?’ such nonsensical questions.” Even without thinking, He Yan knew Wu Yan couldn’t possibly say such strange words; Jian Ni must have embellished it quite a bit.

Sometimes, He Yan really wanted to know what Jian Ni’s world looked like.

“Does that mean Wu Yan’s harsh words just now had his reasons?” The Flame Star, a level 10 translation master, immediately understood.

Ou Pa continued to analyze: “Jian Ni probably thinks that Wu Yan is doing things that everyone dislikes in order to gain the Gloomy Duchess’ trust to protect everyone? But this trust made the suspicious Gloomy Duchess doubt Wu Yan’s loyalty.”

After the analysis, Ou Pa, who hadn’t contacted either party, asked: “Teacher He Yan, do you think so?”

“Yes, yes, I think so.”

“Then we have to tell Director Pa quickly later…”

“Pa—”

A heart-wrenching cry that shook the entire Meng Academy.

Everyone present, except Mi Ya Xing, who was immersed in his own world, was severely startled.

“I’ll go see how the new potion is doing.”

“Mi Ya Xing and I will go to the shelter and ask which student has a recipe for treating diarrhea.”

Ou Pa and Eric pulled Mi Ya Xing away one after another, and before leaving, they didn’t forget to ask He Yan, who was looking for an excuse:

“Teacher He Yan, please take care of visiting Director Pa.”

“…Okay.”

Witnessing the unfortunate situation of his superior wouldn’t be good for his future career, would it?

Meng Academy telephone booth.

With complete disguise, Wu La La, in Ba Rui Si’s appearance, stood beside Wu Ke Na Na.

Concealing their aura and evading the Dark Forces’ detection magic was extremely draining for the Shi Juan Shi; they took turns on duty while trying to restore the telephone booth’s function.

One person was responsible for maintaining the magic, while the other watched the surroundings.

“Okay, we can end the investigation for today.”

The time was about right, Victoria declared the end of work.

She had already investigated the dark magic that caused the telephone booth’s malfunction; she was only here today to confirm it again and roughly estimate how long it would take to completely repair the telephone booth.

“If it goes smoothly, repairing the telephone booth will only take twenty minutes. But as soon as we start repairing the telephone booth, the Gloomy Duchess will definitely notice.”

Victoria took off her gloves, and Ha Li Bo Bo, who was carrying the toolbox, took them and put them in the box.

“Ha Li Bo Bo mentioned that the book said that eliminating the dark poison requires the power of five stars,” Wu Ke Na Na remembered this clearly, “but restraining the Gloomy Duchess also requires five stars.”

Restraining the Gloomy Duchess for twenty minutes was not an easy task.

She had been in the space-time rift for too long, and was too good at moving around; if she insisted on coming here, no one could catch up.

“Sister…” Having been out as Ba Rui Si for a while, Wu La La was still uncomfortable with the term, “Wu Ke Na Na, there’s a time when even if she notices, she won’t come.”

—When the five stars unseal the underground waterway, the Gloomy Duchess will inevitably be present.

Wu Ke Na Na instantly understood her meaning: “But the Meng Knights are near the underground waterway, and the telephone booth is here…”

“The telephone booth needs five stars because of that layer of dark poison, the dark poison is made of poison ivy; eliminating it, the power of five stars is not a necessary condition.”

Her words were full of confidence; she clearly didn’t mention this on a whim.

Victoria listened to their conversation with interest; Ha Li Bo Bo, who hadn’t spoken, suddenly thought of a possibility.

He felt that what he thought of might be the same as Wu La La’s.
