Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Aura Leaked, Fighting Mr. Luo, The Final Battle Arrives

Upon hearing this,

viewers all over the world were stunned.

[What? Loo Huan is Mr. Luo’s daughter? Didn’t they say his daughter was missing?]

[Holy shit, this tea is wild! Isn’t this a classic case of it being right under his nose? The daughter the principal has been searching for everywhere was at the school this whole time?]

[No wonder that note said not to reveal her identity. If Mr. Luo found out, knowing his personality, he’d probably make the entire school pay.]

[For real? Doesn’t that mean Yun Zhenyue is in danger?]

[That girl Du’er... Don’t tell me she was killed by the principal.]

...

Because what she was about to say was highly sensitive,

Loo Huan led Yun Zhenyue to the stairwell.

Yun Zhenyue’s mind was still reeling from the sudden revelation of Loo Huan’s identity.

Loo Huan kicked a small pebble, a melancholic look on her face.

"You’re not going to blame me for only telling you now, are you, Miss Yun?"

She glanced at Yun Zhenyue cautiously.

But the latter just shook her head. "Of course not. I’m just wondering, why tell me now?"

"You already saw the note. I felt it wasn’t right to keep hiding it from you."

Loo Huan wrinkled her delicate nose and bit her lip as she spoke.

"I’m actually really jealous of you. You’ve only been here a few days and your grades are already so good."

"I’ve never gotten grades this good, and my dad always punishes me for it."

At this, she sighed and complained,

"Honestly, I was planning to say all this when I said goodbye to you. I thought maybe you could uncover the truth bit by bit. Isn’t that how all those detective novels go?"

"But I never expected you to be so obsessed with studying, so completely focused. Is studying really all you care about?!"

Yun Zhenyue was quite embarrassed to hear that.

She had never read any detective novels; her knowledge on the subject was a complete blank.

"Can’t you leave this school?" Yun Zhenyue asked.

"I could, but..." Loo Huan hesitated. "My mother used to be a teacher at this school. This place is full of her memories. I don’t want to leave."

"Besides, if some other unlucky soul ends up here in the future, I can help them."

"Like how you helped me?"

Yun Zhenyue said softly.

"Mhm!" Loo Huan nodded emphatically, then put on a cool act and huffed, "Don’t you think it’s a huge flex?"

"The principal’s daughter has been hiding by your side this whole time! If I get discovered, it’ll be the ultimate flex!"

Yun Zhenyue: "..."

As Yun Zhenyue stood there speechlessly,

Loo Huan chuckled. "Alright, don’t look so worried. It’s not like I’m asking you to help me."

"I just felt bad for constantly deceiving a friend."

"Besides, it’s pretty nice staying at the school. Thanks to you, Miss Yun, I’ve even earned the respect of all the teachers and students."

’Is that so?’

Yun Zhenyue still felt a little worried.

’I’ll be leaving after the monthly exams.’

’Should I just leave Loo Huan here?’

She didn’t seem as happy as she let on.

"Oh, right, you should call me Luo Huan. That’s my real name!" Loo Huan interrupted Yun Zhenyue’s thoughts. "Using Loo Huan was just to throw people off."

"Aren’t those two names basically the same?"

Yun Zhenyue shook her head and muttered under her breath.

"It’s a miracle the principal hasn’t found you."

"—Who says I haven’t been?"

Luo Huan retorted, her hands on her hips.

She told Yun Zhenyue a secret.

She had always been hiding in the school, holing up in places like the storage rooms.

Mr. Luo had commissioned many powerful specters to find her, and one time, she was almost discovered!

Fortunately, the one who found her was very kind. After hearing her story, not only did they not tell the principal her hiding place, but they also kindly gave her an animal pendant.

It could hide her aura and power, and slightly alter her appearance.

Because of it, she was now genuinely sealed!

During P.E. class, she couldn’t even stand to run a few steps.

It was all thanks to that pendant that she dared to come out of hiding and attend classes in Class 2.

Speaking of which, Luo Huan took off the small cat pendant that was always hanging from her waist.

The pendant was small and light, yet exquisitely detailed. Every strand of fur was clearly discernible, and its eyes resembled dark red jewels. It gave off a strange, mysterious aura that made one subconsciously look away.

It’s a known fact that when a cat wants to hide, it will tuck itself away in every corner of the house.

Finding one can be an extremely difficult task.

"Won’t something happen if you take the pendant off?" Yun Zhenyue asked worriedly. "And... if you wanted to hide your identity, why were you trying to show off with the medallion before?"

"Hey, I wasn’t showing off! I was bragging about you, wasn’t I?"

Luo Huan immediately denied it.

She was going stir-crazy at school and had been itching to do something fun for a long time.

"Besides, I have faith in that benefactor. This pendant is amazing. I once walked right past my dad, and he didn’t notice a thing."

"It’s fine to take it off. It’s effective as long as it’s within a meter of me."

’Within a meter?’

Yun Zhenyue stared blankly at the small cat pendant Luo Huan handed her.

She had a very familiar feeling about it.

This pendant looked just like one of Gu Yuan’s animal dolls, only smaller.

’Could the kind benefactor Luo Huan mentioned be my own husband, Gu Yuan?’

’And was this medallion the reward Mr. Luo gave him for finding someone?’

The more Yun Zhenyue thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.

That would also explain why Luo Huan found her voice familiar when she was on the phone a while ago.

Just as Yun Zhenyue was lost in thought, holding the pendant!

WHOOSH!

A cold gust of wind suddenly blew past her!

Before Yun Zhenyue could even react!

A black shadow snatched the pendant from her hand!

"My pendant!" Luo Huan cried out.

"Who is it?!"

Yun Zhenyue couldn’t believe her eyes!

She was about to summon Lily to get it back!

But when she took a closer look,

she saw a familiar figure, its body as dark as blood.

It was the panda doll that had vanished upon entering the school!

It sat in the corner, holding Luo Huan’s cat pendant in its mouth as if it were chewing on a bamboo shoot. But after just one taste, it spat it out in disgust.

Then it looked at Yun Zhenyue innocently and held out the pendant in its paw.

It had gotten bored of playing around the school and decided to come find Yun Zhenyue.

It happened to see them in the stairwell and thought they were secretly eating some delicious snack!

’This is it?’

Yun Zhenyue felt her breath catch in her throat.

She never imagined the panda doll would pull a prank at a time like this!

’That’s definitely more than a meter away!’

That meant Luo Huan’s aura had been exposed for those few seconds!

The old Mr. Luo might not have noticed; Luo Huan could hide even without the pendant. But who knew what his level was now, or what new abilities he might have acquired?

It was all a complete unknown!

But what was done was done.

This was an outcome no one wanted to see.

Luo Huan looked warily at the panda doll and gave a bitter smile. "Miss Yun, is this your pet, too?"

"I’m sorry... The little panda is a bit mischievous."

Yun Zhenyue took a deep breath and apologized.

Before she could say anything more,

Luo Huan said seriously, "You should leave the school. It’s dangerous now."

"My father seems to have gotten stronger again. It was only for a few seconds, but that’s enough time for him to have tracked my aura."

"He might not be at the school right now, but it won’t take him long to get here."

"Can’t even Lily beat him?" Yun Zhenyue asked, unwilling to accept it.

"Probably not..."

Luo Huan said with a pained expression.

"My father’s abilities are very special. Especially his Ghost Skill—it gives him the power of an intermediate-level Evil Star. Even with Lily and your little panda, it’s unlikely you could beat him."

"And I... I don’t want to see you all fight for my sake."

Hearing this, Yun Zhenyue took out the chairman of the board’s medallion again. "This won’t work either?"

"No, my father won’t acknowledge it."

"..."

’Has it already come to a final showdown?’

Yun Zhenyue’s heart felt heavy.

’Since the panda doll is what caused Luo Huan to be discovered,’

’this is my responsibility. I have to help Luo Huan!’

’I wonder if the Love Contract...’

’...plus the Unrivaled Skill, On-Site Replication, that I just acquired will be enough?’

Yun Zhenyue’s eyes were resolute.

’It’s time to put an end to this.’

"Trust me... I have a way to help you."

"Help me?" Luo Huan was confused.

She had explained everything clearly. Staying here was a dead end.

How could a human like Yun Zhenyue possibly stand against an intermediate-level Evil Star?

She couldn’t wrap her head around what kind of plan Yun Zhenyue could possibly have.

"Don’t worry, my husband is very strong!"

Yun Zhenyue said with a cryptic smile.

"Your husband is strong?" Luo Huan was dumbfounded.

"What does that have to do with you?"
