Rakish Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 483: Something Happened?
Looking at the empty village committee compound, Li Qianfan suddenly had an ominous premonition.
At the same time, Zhao Susu and Xue Siqi also saw the returning Li Qianfan, and they hurriedly went up to greet him, saying simultaneously, "Instructor Li, you're finally here."
"Susu, Siqi, where are the others?"
Li Qianfan asked.

Hearing this, Zhao Susu lowered her head, softly murmuring an apology with a face full of guilt.
This sudden apology bewildered Li Qianfan completely; he immediately looked towards Xue Siqi and asked, "Siqi, what exactly happened?"
"They all left!"
First glancing at Zhao Susu, then turning to Li Qianfan, Xue Siqi said, "After waiting for over an hour and seeing you hadn't returned, they discussed it amongst themselves, took the map fragment, and went back to Azure Dragon Mountain. They still wanted to secure first place; Susu tried to persuade them for a long time, but they wouldn't listen to her words."
Why don't they ever listen!
Li Qianfan felt helpless in his heart but could understand the students' mindset, being at an age where competition and victory are sought after, even in a minor game; they wanted to win.
Danger is likely on the road!
With this thought, Li Qianfan immediately left Coconut Village with Zhao Susu and Xue Siqi.
While climbing the mountain, Li Qianfan constantly had bad premonitions, which hastened their pace. By the time they reached the mountainside, the two women were exhausted, and Li Qianfan had no choice but to give them the remaining Purple Cloud Dew to replenish their strength.
It was odd to think about it; the mountain path was eerily quiet, and after walking a long time, they encountered none of the students on their return trip.
"Qianfan brother, something isn't right. Why haven't we seen anyone after walking for so long?"
Zhao Susu voiced her inner doubts.
"Yes, under normal circumstances, with an hour left until the time specified by the task, students should be returning. Remember, there were over a hundred people who descended the mountain, how is it we haven't seen a single person?"
Xue Siqi stopped walking, her face full of confusion.
In fact, Li Qianfan had already sensed the strangeness but in order not to worry the two women further, he feigned calm, "Don't worry, there won't be any problems. Perhaps we returned a bit late and they have all already gone up the mountain."
The two girls did not doubt Li Qianfan's explanation and continued to follow him up the mountain.
Although Li Qianfan remained composed on the surface, he felt increasingly uneasy inside. The silence on the mountain was frightening, and he worried about the possibility of the Ten Thousand Talisman Sect's Evil Cultivators making a sudden move.
Feeling somewhat heavy-hearted, Li Qianfan remained silent; the two young women followed behind, equally cautious not to make any noise.
"Blood, so much blood!"
Just then, a panicked voice shattered the quiet atmosphere.
At the sound, Li Qianfan immediately halted and turned around to look—Zhao Susu was pointing at a pool of blood by the roadside, her face filled with horror. Xue Siqi too stared fixedly at the fresh blood, but with more curiosity than fear, as her courage was greater than Zhao Susu's.
Seeing this, Li Qianfan quickly went over, crouched down, and closely examined the bloodstains to find they were not yet dry, clearly left there not long ago.
The appearance of these bloodstains on the mountain was a very odd occurrence.
Seeing this, Li Qianfan stood up and scrutinized their surroundings, finding the silence around them eerie, which made him uneasy. He immediately took out his phone to call Wang Fei, asking, "Principal Wang, have the students who descended the mountain to carry out the task returned?"
"No!"
Wang Fei's tone was extremely anxious as she replied, "It's almost time for the task's deadline, yet not a single instructor with their students has returned. Furthermore, I've been continuously contacting them, but no one is answering the calls. I was about to call you when you called. Have you returned?"
"I'm on the road!" Li Qianfan answered.
The other end of the phone went silent; after about a dozen seconds, Wang Fei's voice rang out softly once again, "Qianfan, over a hundred students haven't returned; tell me the truth, did something serious happen at the base of the mountain?"
"Feifei, don't worry too much, nothing will happen with me here. Is everything fine on the mountain?"
Li Qianfan quickly tried to reassure her.
"There's nothing amiss on the mountain; the students are playing games and having a great time. Mainly, it's just that... Lin Ran has now moved the Military Department to the mountaintop. With them present, even the Su Family dares not make a move. The main issue is at the base of the mountain!"
"Ah, I shouldn't have organized this military training. If anything happens to the students, I'm done for!"
Perhaps due to overwhelming worry, Wang Fei began to complain about herself.
"Feifei, don't be anxious, I'll go look for them!"
"Okay, contact me the moment there is news."
After hanging up the phone, Li Qianfan started to call Ye Ling'er, Zhao Tianjie, and Tang Long. To his surprise, all three phones were off. Despite calling for a long time, no one answered.
Could something really have happened?
"Yo, I didn't expect an unexpected surprise. We were about to head back and yet bumped into three people, heh heh heh…"
Just then, a sinister voice arose in the distance.
