Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 200 - 199 I saved Donghua City by myself2

On the fourth evening of Zhou Bai expanding the sheep pen, inside Xiao Pei’s room.

Xiao Pei, Zhou Shan, and other Heavenly Demon traitors sat together with solemn and serious expressions.

Xiao Pei slowly said, "I sent Lin Muqing away and set up an Array alert. As soon as she enters the building, we will know."

"Regarding the current situation, everyone please share your thoughts."

For several consecutive days, Mr. Huang, who had loaned 80 points each day, spoke first, "I didn’t even eat breakfast today. I calculated my remaining points, and if I want to continue exchanging for cultivation materials, I can only afford two meals a day."

Another male teacher said, "I’ve been loaned a total of 400 points, that’s 400 points! I can’t fully exchange the materials for my next star point this month. My divine chart cultivation is stuck this month."

The other members began complaining as well. It was clear that Zhou Bai’s daily harassment and borrowing of points severely impacted their lives and cultivation.

Especially if such days continued, they might not even have enough points left for food.

"Why did you lend to him then?" Xiao Pei frowned and coldly huffed, "Wouldn’t it be fine if everyone just stopped lending him points?"

Impacted by poverty, the crowd spoke up, each coming up with different imagined reasons.

Mr. Huang: "I think Zhou Bai has good talents, investing in him now might really pay off in the future."

Mr. Song: "He offered me an annual interest rate of 5%, I think it’s quite profitable."

Xiao Pei felt dizzy, an instinctual thought felt this was all ridiculous, but the effect of poverty continued influencing her, making these reasons seem somewhat acceptable.

Just when she was feeling utterly conflicted, Zhou Shan slowly said beside her, "Do you guys feel like Zhou Bai looks a bit like me?"

Xiao Pei: "…"

Xiao Pei shook her head fiercely and slammed the table to interrupt the continued flow of reasons from the others.

"In any case, we can’t lend points to Zhou Bai anymore." Xiao Pei said sternly, "A new Heavenly Demon Envoy could arrive at any time, and we have many plans to carry out. Every single point is precious and must not be wasted here…"

Right then, Zhou Bai’s shouting came from outside the window.

"Xiao Pei! Teacher Zhou Shan! Mr. Huang! Mr. Song…"

A tinge of panic flickered across everyone’s faces.

As the names were called out one by one, each person whose name was mentioned felt their bodies slightly stiffen.

Zhou Bai finally shouted, "Can you guys lend me 100 points?"

Having reaped the wool again, Zhou Bai, while pushing the sofa out of Xiao Pei’s house, exited the building with a proud look and disdainfully glanced back.

"Tina, I think I might…"

Christina: "You damn genius of cultivation."

"It’s not that," Zhou Bai raised his head to look at the building and said, "I feel that… I might have single-handedly prevented the Heavenly Demon traitors from sabotaging the Dao School."

"We might have saved all of Central City."

As Zhou Bai walked out, he saw Lin Muqing approaching with a strange expression and asked while pushing the sofa, "Zhou Bai, did you borrow both wheels of Xiao Pei’s wheelchair yesterday?"

Lin Muqing saw Zhou Bai nod, covered her face helplessly, and said, "What are you doing? Do you know how many teachers and students at this school like Xiao Pei? Aren’t you afraid of being beaten to death?"

"Where’s the wheel? Hurry up and find it to return to Xiao Pei."

Lin Muqing said worriedly, "Otherwise, if the news gets out, a lot of people will start to hold grudges against you."

Zhou Bai scratched his head, thinking that he had sold the wheel yesterday when he took it home and even earned 110 points.

But obviously, he couldn’t say that here, so he casually said, "I lost it, I don’t know where it went."

Lin Muqing let out a helpless sigh, looked at the sofa in Zhou Bai’s hands, and said speechlessly, "What’s this about then? Isn’t that Xiao Pei’s sofa? It has seven arrays on it for calming, soothing, and quieting, specially for Xiao Pei’s rest."

Zhou Bai said, "Just so happens my home’s sofa broke, and just so happens, Xiao Pei’s home had a sofa, and she just so happens didn’t want it anymore. I just so happened to be passing by her house, so I helped her carry it out, isn’t that coincidental?"

"Do you think I’m stupid?" Lin Muqing shook her head. "Put down the sofa, I’ll deliver it back to her later."

Saying that, she stepped forward, nearly face to face with Zhou Bai, then whispered in Zhou Bai’s ear, "Are you crazy? I know you suspect Xiao Pei, but you can’t just mess around like this. You are being unreasonable, and others will deal with you."

Zhou Bai said, "It’s okay, I can handle it."

Lin Muqing quickly grabbed Zhou Bai’s palm and started walking outside, away from the dormitory building.

As they walked, Lin Muqing whispered, "About the wheel, I told Fang Mo it was my idea to let you do this, to see if Xiao Pei would reveal any flaws. Night Army will try to block the news from spreading."

Zhou Bai looked at Lin Muqing in surprise, "Is that alright?"

Lin Muqing glared at Zhou Bai and said, "Am I not doing this to cover for you? Also, regular students and teachers might not know this news, but Principal Zhao Shouyi will definitely know."

"Have you thought about how you’ll explain this to him?"

Thinking about this, Zhou Bai couldn’t help but swallow nervously, "Anyway, I’ve spent all my points, what can he do, kill me?"

Lin Muqing said, "You were too impulsive this time."

"You can’t do this in the future."

"Even if Xiao Pei really has issues, you are putting yourself in danger this way."

Zhou Bai had no choice but to listen to Lin Muqing prattling on, not like he could tell her about being impoverished, so he just heeded her advice.

Suddenly, Zhou Bai remembered something and asked Lin Muqing, "By the way, has a person named Zuo Lu arrived with the Night Army? From Central City."

Lin Muqing looked at Zhou Bai surprisingly, "You are well-informed, Zhou Bai. Night Army... no, I should say in recent times the government, Dao School, and other major departments in Donghua City have all had many people sent from Central City."

"As for Zuo Lu, you know I ranked first in the special training class at Dao School in Donghua before, right? Before I became first, Zuo Lu was the top of the special training class. However, he later transferred to Central City, and I hadn’t seen him since, can’t believe he’s back too."

"Is that so?" Zhou Bai said, surprised. "But Heaven has sent so many people here? Could it be that Heaven sensed instability in Donghua City, suspects a Heavenly Demon spy?"

Lin Muqing said, "Maybe. As far as I know, Heaven’s actions always prioritize the interests of the immortals. This shows Donghua City is still important to them."

Zhou Bai asked, "So, has the Night Army found any spies from the Heavenly Demon?"

Lin Muqing shook her head, thinking silently, ’That’s Xiao Pei, the daughter of the vice principal of Dao School in Donghua, without key evidence, Night Army wouldn’t take action.’
