Chapter 30: Tracking Man’er
Everyone: “???”
They were dumbfounded by the advisor’s sudden change in attitude, thinking they must have misheard.
What was the advisor saying?
Did she really recognize who was in front of her?
What was going on?
Why did she seem almost… respectful?
Wasn’t Su Mu banned from the exam? And now she was offering her pen?
The entire classroom was stunned, not a single person started writing. Everyone watched this bizarre scene, the confusion in their minds almost tangible.
“Advisor! What are you doing?” Zhang Qi couldn’t help but shout.
The advisor straightened up and looked at Zhang Qi with a cold, even slightly hateful gaze, which made Zhang Qi’s pupils shrink in fear.
“Shut up! Don’t ever trouble Su Mu again! Or else, don’t say I didn’t warn you!”
“…” Zhang Qi was speechless.
Su Mu had already taken the pen without a second thought and started answering the questions.
The only sound in the room was the scratch of her pen on paper.
The advisor returned to the podium. Everyone else had a thousand questions they wanted to ask, but it was clearly not the time to talk. They had to hold back and start answering the questions honestly.
However, throughout the entire exam, people were sneaking glances at Su Mu.
What did Su Mu say to the advisor anyway?
…
Su Mu finished the test early and, after confirming everything was correct, handed in her paper.
The advisor, who had been proctoring the exam well, turned pale as soon as she saw Su Mu approaching.
It wasn’t until Su Mu handed in her paper and walked out that the advisor breathed a sigh of relief and came back to her senses.
The room full of students, who originally planned to ask Su Mu questions after the exam, could only watch helplessly as she left first.
As she passed by the advisor, the latter inexplicably bowed her head slightly, as if she didn’t dare to look at Su Mu directly.
Ahhh! So curious! What on earth happened?
Su Mu was unaware of her classmates’ feelings. As she left the classroom, her expression began to turn serious.
So… now it was time to deal with Man’er.
Su Mu first took out her phone and called Feng Sa.
After a few seconds, the call connected, and from the sound of it, there seemed to be quite a few people around.
“Feng Sa,” Su Mu said directly, “I have something to ask you. Are you available?”
“Sansan?” Feng Sa was a bit surprised.
Then, other voices came through the phone:
“Shanshan?”
“What Shanshan?”
Feng Sa said, “Not that Shanshan, it’s a friend of mine. You guys keep practicing… I have to step out for a bit, sorry.”
Then, as the noise faded, it seemed that Feng Sa had moved to a quieter place alone.
“Sansan, what’s wrong? What is it?”
“Sorry to bother you,” Su Mu said, leaning against the wall behind the teaching building. “I wanted to ask about Man’er. Isn’t your bureau going to do anything about her? Are you really sure she’s a true witch? After all, you guys tested Shanshan before.”
“Oh, that…” Feng Sa’s tone was a bit disgruntled. “Who knows what the higher-ups are thinking? I’ve brought it up more than once! But they keep saying I’m just a rookie and shouldn’t worry about it, that the higher-ups have their own decisions…”
Su Mu squinted. Their own decisions?
What decisions?
Obviously, Feng Sa didn’t know either. Su Mu thanked him and hung up the phone.
The fact that the Bureau of Paranormal Investigation wasn’t dealing with Man’er was, for Su Mu, actually a good thing. Otherwise, if Man’er were confirmed to be a fake witch and exposed Su Mu before her death, it would be problematic.
In reality, even though the Witch Development System had given Su Mu many magical powers, until she was 100% certain that this was indeed the power of a witch and not something else, she treated her Shanshan identity as a fake witch.
The higher-ups in this world might have encountered real witches before. There could be other unknown figures or organizations.
Therefore, the best approach was to make Shanshan’s identity disappear unnoticed.
If it weren’t for the exam and the advisor’s persistent biting, and if Su Mu hadn’t coincidentally produced the enchanted Crown Vetch, she wouldn’t have risked exposing her Shanshan identity.
However, with the subconscious influence effect of the Crown Vetch, she didn’t need to worry about the advisor saying anything inappropriate.
Su Mu scrolled through her phone and, without hesitation, called Yang Ye. They had exchanged contact information because Yang Ye had insisted on it last time.
“Su Mu?” The call was quickly answered.
“Let’s meet at the internet cafe. I’ll get a private room and send you the room number shortly.”
Yang Ye replied, “Uh? Okay, sure.”
After hanging up, he was still a bit confused. Why was Su Mu, who should have been in an exam, suddenly calling him to meet at an internet cafe?
Su Mu had been acting like a model student lately.
With this uncertainty in mind, Yang Ye, who had been playing games in the dorm, immediately stood up and walked out.
“Where are you going?” his roommate shouted, “Brother, bring back some food!”
“…” Yang Ye sighed.
Of course, it wasn’t unexpected.
“I’m going to meet my goddess. You guys can starve in the dorm,” he rolled his eyes. “If you really can’t handle it, there’s a spider in my desk.”
With that, he shut the door with a “bang.”
“Who’s going to eat your spider…” His roommate muttered while gaming. The next moment, he suddenly realized, “Meeting a goddess?!”
Damn! When did this guy get a goddess? Is he about to get into a relationship before the rest of us?!
So unfair!
Following the location sent by Su Mu, Yang Ye arrived at an internet cafe and found Su Mu’s room.
Standing outside, he patted his face to perk himself up, feeling both nervous and excited as he knocked on the door, “Su Mu?”
“Come in,” came a clear female voice from inside.
Yang Ye walked in and saw Su Mu sitting in front of a computer. The screen’s white light illuminated her jade-like face, making her appear even more fair and delicate.
“Su Mu, what do you need from me?”
“I need your help with something.” Su Mu carefully chose her words, “Your hacking skills are good, right? You won’t get traced back, will you?”
“Of course!” Yang Ye’s nervousness vanished at the mention of his skills. “Su Mu, let me tell you, I might be an academic underachiever in herbalism, but if I were in the computer science field, I’d be top of the class!”
