Zhou Wen returned to school on tenterhooks the entire way. But nothing happened even when he returned to his dorm.
Zhou Wen didn't dare be careless. He summoned all the Companion Beasts he could use and stopped sleeping in his bedroom. He stayed in the living room. With the antelope and Chick by his side, he felt safer.
It was strange. Ever since they had come back from Mount Laojun, Chick that was as fat as a duck had actually slimmed down again. It looked like it was in high spirits like before.
Zhou Wen wasn't in the mood to study how Chick had lost weight in the blink of an eye. He sat on the sofa and placed a few notebooks to the side as he drew Substitute Talismans one by one.
These were life-saving treasures. If he could produce one, even if The Thearch wanted to deal with him, it might be able to save his life.
