328 Back to School
Lu Benwei went straight out of the dark moon secret realm.
When he passed by Xu Zhi’s camp, Lu Benwei told them that the riot was over and that all the dark monsters would return to their habitats soon.
Xu Zhi and the others heaved a long sigh of relief when they heard that.
“Student Lu Benwei, you played a big role in calming down this riot,” Xu Zhi patted Lu Benwei’s shoulder and said, “Come, I’ll have my men slaughter pigs and sheep tonight to celebrate for you!
Lu Benwei waved his hand and declined Xu Zhi’s kind invitation.
“Commander Xu, I still have something urgent to attend to. I need to go back to school first.”
Xu Zhi was slightly disappointed. However, when he thought about how the chaos had not completely subsided, he could not be careless, so he felt embarrassed to drag Lu Benwei along. Hence, Xu Zhi nodded in agreement.
Lu Benwei quickly returned to Zhejiang Hunter University in the evening. At this time, many students had already completed the combat test and were busy packing their luggage and heading home.
Lu Benwei first found Zhao Xiaoqi and learned that Chu Yan did not return to the dormitory.
“Didn’t Yanyan go with you on a mysterious mission? Why did she suddenly come back?”
Zhao Xiaoqi sensed that something was wrong.
“Tell me, did you bully her during the mission?”
“Zhao Xiaoqi, you’ve really wronged me.” Lu Benwei spread his hands. “She’s always the one bullying me, I’ve never been the one bullying her.”
Zhao Xiaoqi scratched her head. “That’s true. Then tell me, what did you do before Yanyan left without a word?”
Lu Benwei pondered for a moment and told her everything that had happened since Shiya’s appearance. Zhao Xiaoqi listened to him without missing a word, and suddenly, she was angry.
“You, you, what do you want me to say to you? It’s no wonder that Yanyan is sad when you say that!”
“Ah, did she come back because she was sad?” Lu Benwei was very puzzled.
Zhao Xiaoqi was furious. “Lu Benwei, you’re so talented, but how can you be so stubborn in love? I really feel sorry for Yanyan! How dare you say you’re married in front of Yanyan?”
“I was lying!” Lu Benwei spread out his hands, his mouth twitching.
“You’re a liar. Chu Yan is standing behind you. Why are you talking about other women in front of her?! Can’t you use your wooden brain? Think about how Yanyan was good to you and used her to trick that succubus Shiya!”
The more Zhao Xiaoqi spoke, the angrier she became and she kept punching Lu Benwei’s chest.
“But this isn’t to the point of being angry, right?”
Lu Benwei knew that Chu Yan was good to him. She had accompanied him through life and death, killed enemies with him, recommended Commander Chu to him, gave him the precious Furious Dragon Battle Armor, and even helped him block a fatal poison arrow.
The only thing Lu Benwei had done for Chu Yan was to give her a spirit light monster. He still remembered that Chu Yan had been happy for a long time, but she had never used it.
Lu Benwei had asked about it that day. Chu Yan smiled. “You gave this to me. I want to grow up with him.”
Countless memory fragments were like the night wind blowing the sea, constantly emerging on the shore. Lu Benwei was at a loss and did not know what to do for a while.
Suddenly, he was startled as if he had thought of something. He turned around and ran in another direction.
Zhao Xiaoqi looked at Lu Benwei’s back and gritted her teeth helplessly.
…
In the fountain garden at Zhejiang Hunter University.
At this time, the moon was high in the sky, and the lights in the fountain garden had long been turned off. However, in a corner, there was a warm glow from time to time.
Chu Yan squatted on a bench and reached out her hand, stroking the spirit deer in front of her.
“Lu, Lu, how old are you?”
Perhaps she was bored, Chu Yan started singing a children’s song. The ethereal song reverberated, and only the honking of the spirit deer responded.
At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps sounded, getting louder and louder.
Chu Yan slowly put away the spirit deer and prepared to leave the fountain garden. She had just taken a few steps when Lu Benwei’s voice sounded.
“Chu Yan, you’re really here,” Lu Benwei ran all the way here and tried to balance his breath as he spoke softly.
“How did you know I was here?” Chu Yan blinked and asked.
“I guessed.”
The fountain garden was located in front of the freshmen reception room, where Lu Benwei and Chu Yan first met.
Chu Yan was very disdainful. “Why are you here?”
Lu Benwei sat down and placed his hands naturally on the ground, his fingers constantly moving.
“Are you going to tell me or not? If not, I’ll leave.” Chu Yan puffed up her cheeks and got up to leave.
“I just want to say that I’m grateful for having you by my side all this time,” Lu Benwei said softly.
Chu Yan shook her head. “You have a conscience. You know how to thank me.”
Then, she sat next to Lu Benwei.
“Anything else you want to say?” Chu Yan lowered her head and asked.
“Also…”
It was already winter, and the winter in Jiujiang was bone-piercingly cold and wet. The cold moonlight shone down, covering the two with a layer of silver light.
Lu Benwei and Chu Yan were very close to each other. They could feel each other’s warmth and hear each other’s breathing.
“Also…”
“Lu Benwei, Chu Yan, why didn’t you tell me you were back?”
Just as Lu Benwei was about to speak, an untimely voice sounded. It was Chen Yuan.
“You didn’t answer my calls and you weren’t in the dormitory. I had to look for you all over the campus.”
...
Lu Benwei and Chu Yan stood up and said dryly, “Hello, Mr. Principal!”
“Yes, hello.” Chen Yuan nodded in agreement.
“Mr. Principal, is there anything I can help you with?” Lu Benwei asked.
“I almost forgot.” Chen Yuan patted his head. “You two, come with me.”
Lu Benwei and Chu Yan heard this, looked at each other, and smiled helplessly.
…
The two of them followed Chen Yuan and explored the dark campus.
Although it was dark everywhere, Lu Benwei could still recognize that this was the way to the Monster Research Center of Zhejiang Hunter University.
“Mr. Principal, it’s so late. Why are you taking us to the Monster Research Center?” Lu Benwei asked on the way.
Chen Yuanyuan replied, “Yes. There’s a new monster in the beast Research Center. I need your help.”
“What monster? ” Lu Benwei was curious. “Even the professors at the Monster Research Center can’t do anything to it. Why do they need me?”
...
“Is it a darkness-type monster?” Chu Yan asked.
Lu Benwei also had the same idea. If it was a dark attribute beast, Lu Benwei could use the power of light to suppress it.
“You’ll know when you get there. You know each other too!”
“Chen Yuan’s identity has been verified. Please enter.”
Chen Yuan led Lu Benwei and Chu Yan through layers of automatic metal doors and arrived at a huge room.
There was a four-meter-tall cylindrical container inside, and a monster was locked inside.
