Part 2
Wei Yuanqing looked at Yun Yingzhi and said with a smile, “A simpler way is to pay for a space ability user to send us back.”
Yun Yingzhi thought: This is truly an empire where money talks; almost nothing cannot be solved with money.
Following Wei Yuanqing’s words, the three roommates immediately relaxed, feeling that the return trip wouldn’t be an issue at all.
As they talked, Wei Yuanqing led the group toward the high wall connecting to the outside world.
Yun Yingzhi and the other four noticed many other students in this area besides themselves. At a glance, they knew these were “habitual offenders” of skipping school. Then they thought that since Wei Yuanqing knew this place so well, he must be a habitual offender too.
Wei Yuanqing said, “Look at the boundary—the boundary between the wall and the sky. Some areas have ‘firefly’ starlight.”
If Wei Yuanqing hadn’t mentioned it, those “firefly” lights would be easily ignored, but once he did, the four noticed them.
“According to the pattern, all ‘fireflies’ will be extinguished during the energy replenishment time. Be ready to go then.” He paused, looked at Yun Yingzhi, and said, “Yingzhi, we need to break through the semi-dormant defense layer in that instant. It will be hard for you to do so. I suggest you transform into your second form and let me carry you.”
Hearing this, the three roommates’ gazes shifted toward Yun Yingzhi together.
Yun Yingzhi was a million times reluctant internally, since he had been interrogated by Wei Yuanqing in his second form not long ago, but…
He never overestimated himself.
Since Wei Yuanqing said he couldn’t break through the dormant defense layer, he definitely couldn’t. But, did he really have to transform into his second form?
Wei Yuanqing added, “Yingzhi, it’s more convenient for me to take you out. If you go yourself…”
Everyone understood Wei Yuanqing’s meaning: he probably wouldn’t make it out.
Yun Yingzhi felt very awkward.
After a moment of hesitation, he reluctantly transformed into his second form—a tiny white rabbit about 30cm long.
The smile on Wei Yuanqing’s face deepened as he slightly crouched down and picked up the little rabbit directly into his hands.
The three roommates were extremely envious, but they were too embarrassed to fight the Senior for the little white rabbit, so they could only suppress the urge to “rua” the rabbit.
Wei Yuanqing held Yun Yingzhi with both hands, his dark green eyes meeting the rabbit’s black gem-like eyes. He said, “Speaking of which, Yingzhi, you really look like the little white rabbit I saw yesterday.”
Hearing this, Yun Yingzhi’s body radiated countless happy little flowers; his whole “despairing rabbit self” had come back to life.
He had been very worried that Wei Yuanqing actually had mind-reading abilities, but from this sentence, Yun Yingzhi thought that he probably didn’t have any such thing.
If he had mind-reading, he would have known that the little white rabbit yesterday was him.
Thinking this way, Yun Yingzhi was exceptionally happy. His tiny body instinctively bounced in Wei Yuanqing’s hands, then he felt that being “fidgety” didn’t fit his character, so he immediately stabilized his tiny frame.
In the next moment, he heard Wei Yuanqing say, “Rather than saying you look like it, it’s more like you’re exactly the same.”
Yun Yingzhi was so startled that he sat right down in Wei Yuanqing’s palm, his furry little rabbit face looking at Wei Yuanqing in shock, his expression being exceptionally “spiritual.”
The smile on Wei Yuanqing’s face deepened.
Yun Yingzhi regained his senses amidst Wei Yuanqing’s laughter. He forced himself to stabilize and, tightening his nerves, tried to speak in a calm voice as much as possible, “…I think it’s your illusion.”
Wei Yuanqing asked, “Why are you nervous?”
Yun Yingzhi turned around in Wei Yuanqing’s hand, not looking at him, and said, “I’m not nervous.”
Yu Feiwen spoke up at the right time, “Senior Wei, are you talking about the little white rabbit His Highness Elvis was raising yesterday? I’ve seen photos on the forum; it really is very similar to our Yingzhi.”
The other two roommates also agreed.
Yun Yingzhi said, “Actually, my second form is very common, a dime a dozen. Many classmates in Fense Academy raise little white rabbits; it’s very normal for there to be some that look like me.”
In general, humans see all animals of the same type as identical.
For example, Yun Yingzhi himself was a little white rabbit, but when he looked at other rabbits, they were also all the same; this was their “face blindness” toward pets.
Wei Yuanqing and the other four continued to talk about yesterday’s little white rabbit. When Jing Haomiao mentioned the part where the rabbit clung to His Highness Elvis and how the cold Elvis’s expression “cracked” (as described by students on the forum), Yun Yingzhi immediately and stiffly changed the subject.
But just as he changed the subject, the roommates brought it right back.
To Yun Yingzhi’s relief, at that exact moment, the “firefly” starlight at the connection between the high wall and the air was extinguished.
Wei Yuanqing’s reaction was extremely fast. One vine pierced the energy shield, while another vine formed a seat. Wei Yuanqing, holding Yun Yingzhi, sat on the vine seat and crossed over the Fense Academy high wall.
Steady and stable, the vine chair landed on the ground.
The little white rabbit struggled out of Wei Yuanqing’s hands, jumped onto Wei Yuanqing’s shoulder, and looked back at the towering wall.
Wei Yuanqing’s reaction was the fastest. Around this section of the wall, many other students were sneaking out one after another.
Compared to Wei Yuanqing, the speed of Yu Feiwen and the other three roommates was clearly a beat slower. They ran out about two seconds later and landed safely.
Wei Yuanqing said, “Let’s go. Enforcement team members will be coming.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Feiwen immediately transformed into a brown hawk. He didn’t dare fly at a high altitude as that was too “jumpy,” so he could only flap his wings and glide along the ground. The other two roommates hung onto the hawk’s body.
Wei Yuanqing held the little white rabbit sitting on his shoulder in his arms and moved at a high speed in his human form.
Everyone once again felt that Wei Yuanqing, who was two years ahead of them, was very impressive. Even in his human form, his speed was so fast that it could keep up with Yu Feiwen’s second form.
After running for a distance, Wei Yuanqing said “it’s fine now,” and Yu Feiwen stopped, transforming back into his human form.
Yun Yingzhi tried to transform back into his human form as well, but Wei Yuanqing was holding him tightly. Unless he was prepared to transform directly and end up pressing down on Wei Yuanqing’s body, he couldn’t transform.
Yun Yingzhi tried to tactfully ask Wei Yuanqing to let him go.
Wei Yuanqing pretended he hadn’t heard the underlying meaning of Yun Yingzhi’s words.
Jing Haomiao looked at Wei Yuanqing and asked curiously, “Senior Wei, does the enforcement team go there every night to catch people?”
Including the little white rabbit still struggling in Wei Yuanqing’s hands, they all focused their attention on Wei Yuanqing. They needed to consider the patrol times of the enforcement team so they could skip school more easily when Wei Yuanqing wasn’t around.
Knowing yourself and your enemy makes it easier to “break out.”
In this instant, the expression on Wei Yuanqing’s face was a bit complex.
After a moment of silence, Wei Yuanqing said, “…Don’t you know?”
The three plus one little white rabbit looked at Wei Yuanqing with confused gazes.
Wei Yuanqing paused, then said, “I am the general manager of the Enforcement Team.”
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
The three roommates: “…”
Enforcement team members were selected from the student body. Every twelve people formed a team, and three teams formed a group. There were eight groups in total. The General Manager, just as the name implied, was responsible for managing all enforcement groups.
Generally speaking, Wei Yuanqing was the one who decided which areas were the focus of daily monitoring.
And then…
The number one person in the Enforcement Team, Wei Yuanqing himself, had publicly led them to sneak out.
Thinking about it again, no wonder he knew the patrol times of the enforcement students.
Wei Yuanqing said, “Today, they should be able to catch dozens of students trying to run out, right?” As he spoke, his seemingly gentle dark green eyes swept over Yu Feiwen and the others, and he sincerely praised, “Your reaction speed was quite decent.”
The three roommates: “…” So we weren’t caught and successfully escaped.
The three roommates were in a daze. They thought: Well, thank you so much for your praise.
They suddenly felt that while Wei Yuanqing looked extremely gentle on the outside, he seemed to be a lunatic.
Yun Yingzhi shook his fur. He also realized that Wei Yuanqing’s “attributes” seemed a bit off. This time, he sat obediently in Wei Yuanqing’s hands, deciding to temporarily get a feel for Wei Yuanqing’s personality before acting accordingly.
