Qin Yexuan convened an impromptu meeting on his way back to school.
Besides Jun Mengyao and Li Tianxing, Sun Qinglu was also in attendance.
"A'yao, inform Ling Su and Tian Ce to leave Chaoge City immediately."
Jun Mengyao looked troubled. "How could Senior Sister Ling Su and Senior Brother Tian Ce possibly leave at this time?"
Qin Yexuan said coldly, "Tell them it's my order. I need them to do something on the Goryeo continent."
If that were the case, it would be much easier.
After dealing with this matter, Qin Yexuan turned to Sun Qinglu. "After you've handled your family affairs, go see Song Shixiong. This way, for Chaoge's four major prominent families, you'll represent the Sun and Li families. Get Song Shixiong's family to cooperate and control the arched bridge area of Longmen River."
That area would soon become a hotly contested zone among major forces.
By having Sun Qinglu cooperate with Song Shixiong, and by mobilizing the personnel and companies under their two families, they could at least gain a head start. Su Dan Novel Network
As the car neared the school, Qin Yexuan spoke to Jun Mengyao privately about the Hell Manifestation Scroll.
Jun Mengyao listened with confusion. "Sir, isn't this a good thing? Those monsters and villains have been absorbed by the Hell Scroll. This... doesn't it work in our favor?"
"No, A'yao, you are terribly mistaken. The Hell Manifestation Scroll can absorb demons and people, and it can also release them. After refinement by that magical artifact, what's released are ghost demons and apparitions."
Qin Yexuan's voice was chilling. "Ghosts are ten thousand times harder to deal with than demons!"
Jun Mengyao gasped on the phone. "Why?"
Over the long years, Qin Yexuan had accumulated vast experience in confronting otherworldly beings.
"Demons have form, while ghosts are formless. Demons have emotions and desires, and can evolve into humans. Ghosts are mostly born from resentment and grievance, hiding in the darkness and manifesting in the depths of people's hearts. They are impossible to guard against."
Whenever matters involved souls and ghosts, even Qin Yexuan felt a touch of unease.
"Then sir, what should we do?"
"We must find the Hell Manifestation Scroll as soon as possible, find that top-tier expert in Buddhism, kill him, and destroy the Hell Manifestation Scroll."
After hanging up, Qin Yexuan rubbed his head. Wang Jiaqian, leaning against him, slowly woke up. "Ah, what time is it?"
"We're at the school. Class is about to start. Do you want to go home and see your sister first?"
Wang Jiaqian shook her head. After a day and night of turmoil, her mood remained anxious and unsettled. Everything around her looked different.
"My sister is fine. Someone is always looking after her."
"Oh, is it that Dr. Zhao?"
"Yes. I have to go to school first... The principal said there would be a faculty meeting today, and I must attend."
Speaking of which, Wang Jiaqian looked at him uneasily. "You don't think Chaoge will really, really face monsters and become a doomsday world, do you? If so, I need to take my sister and leave quickly."
She had actually wanted to say this for a while. With the military surrounding Chaoge on all sides, only Qin Yexuan had the ability to escort people out of the city.
Qin Yexuan smiled. "If Teacher Wang wants to leave, that's fine. I'll arrange it after I've seen your two sisters' conditions."
Wang Jiaqian lowered her head, feeling ashamed. "You must despise me for escaping at a time like this..."
"No, this is the reaction of any normal person."
Qin Yexuan knew in his heart that Wang Jiaqian insisted on going to school first, not to attend a meeting, but to resign from the old dean.
After experiencing what happened yesterday and understanding the situation Chaoge was about to face, it would be abnormal not to take her family and flee immediately.
The car stopped at the school gate.
Wang Jiaqian, wrapped in a student's jacket, hurried inside. She was still wearing her evening gown and needed to change quickly in the office.
Qin Yexuan leisurely walked along the tree-lined avenue beside it. Before he reached the dormitory, the old dean appeared, rushing towards him.
"Student Qin, you, you've finally shown up."
The old dean, wiping sweat from his brow, was visibly excited. He immediately took Qin Yexuan's hand. "Please come to my office. I have something to discuss with you, Student Qin."
As the principal of the entire academy, Qin Yexuan naturally showed him great respect.
Following the old dean into the simple office, just as Qin Yexuan was about to ask what was going on, the old dean quickly produced a red letter of appointment, holding it with a heavy feeling.
Qin Yexuan frowned. "Old Dean, what is this?"
The old dean smiled ingratiatingly. "Effective today, our Chaoge Vocational College officially appoints Student Qin as the Chairman of the Student Union for a term of three years. The school committee will fully entrust the Student Union to manage the college's affairs moving forward..."
"Stop!" Qin Yexuan was speechless. "When did I agree to be this Student Union Chairman?"
The old dean shoved the letter of appointment into his hand. "All of us teachers and staff believe that Student Qin is most suitable to manage the Student Union."
Qin Yexuan took the letter of appointment and saw that the box behind the old dean was stuffed with other red letters of appointment.
Judging by the covers, they were all letters of appointment for various department heads of the Student Union.
This was handing over all personnel power to him.
The entire situation felt strange.
"Old Dean, you just said that all affairs are to be managed by the Student Union..."
"Yes, even school matters are for you to manage!"
Qin Yexuan frowned. "The Student Union's authority is limited. What you're doing is a bit inappropriate."
The old dean awkwardly scratched his bald head. "This, this is actually, actually because our college is preparing to conduct a teaching experiment of student-led school management."
Qin Yexuan's eyes flickered. "Student-led management?"
"Yes, that is, the school's operations, teaching, and all aspects of management will be handled by our Student Union. We will grant you all the authority."
What a joke!
This was not a teaching experiment at all.
It meant that Chaoge College had lost control, and the old dean was at his wit's end.
Qin Yexuan stared at the old dean. "Did you receive some news? The school isn't even going to manage things anymore, and you want me to be responsible?"
The old dean's face flushed red, then his lips trembled as he lowered his head.
He sighed. "I, I really don't have the ability anymore. This isn't a normal school. Strange things happen every day. The terrible cases in Chaoge had just subsided for less than a day, and then our college..."
"And then what?"
The old dean shook his head. "Today, at least two hundred new students appeared. They had no admission qualifications, nor any documentation. We deployed security, reported to the police department, but we couldn't drive them away. They just insisted on staying."
"Putting that aside, last night, a girl gave birth in the dormitory!"
The old dean's expression was bizarre. "We conducted physical examinations for all new students. I can confirm that this honest girl had never been pregnant before. What kind of ghost is this! Giving birth without being pregnant is an ominous sign only found in legends!"
Over two hundred nameless students who appeared out of nowhere.
A girl who gave birth suddenly without ever being pregnant.
And also!
In the school library, a bronze coffin appeared last night. The doorman swore that no one had entered.
...
"Qin Sheng, these are just some of the incidents. I've had people record more strange occurrences."
The old dean's eyes were bloodshot. "Although I'm old, I know how to read people. You are not an ordinary person, not an ordinary student at all. Only you can handle these strange events."
Qin Yexuan remained silent.
