Return to the Academy

Lee Tao explained his story in a genuine tone that Yao Meixiang and the others did not find anything suspicious.

After all, they had fallen into a trap as well and lost multiple people with them.

"What are we going to do now?" Meng Xue suddenly said.

"Senior Lin Cheng and the others are dead while we are still alive. The academy would definitely punish us, and their parents will never forgive us." She added.

"Why are you such a scaredy-cat?" Lee Tao laughed as he extended his arms out and laid on Tang Lingling's shoulder.

"Everyone here agreed to explore an ancient ruin. Life and death are simply something natural."

"B-But-" Meng Xue tried to argue, but Lee Tao quickly cut her off.

"If you were the one to die, would you blame anyone here?" Lee Tao asked.

Meng Xue pondered for a moment as she shook her head. "N-No, it was my decision to enter the ancient ruin."
