Chapter 35: The Mysterious Third Guest Hall
Seeing the sudden progress of the quest, something that he hadn’t even pursued, excited Han Xuhan. It seemed that although this quest was graded at a Hard level difficulty on the system panel, completing it would not be too difficult compared to Moderate level quests.
Unlike his earlier tasks, he already had a lead from the start, thanks to Xuanyuan Zhou’s unintentional help. He now knew that the secret his system wanted him to dig out of Xiao Wu’s life was connected somehow to the Beasthaven Sect!
He made a mental note to investigate this sect in his free time. There would probably be some precious information in the archives. It was considered one of the most powerful sects on this planet, after all.
"Hey, why’s this class not starting?" Xiao Wu asked suddenly, as if he had just realized this. Han Xuhan shrugged, unable to provide an explanation.
Xuanyuan Zhou did the same, but there was an ambiguous smile on her face that told Xuhan that she might have a guess which she didn’t want to say out loud.
He couldn’t muster up the energy to poke the explanation out of her.
Eventually, the lecture period came to an end with the sect’s strangely loud bells ringing three times in a row. There was one more class to be held, scheduled for the evening. So the disciples weren’t in a rush to leave.
However, after a few minutes, the first group of disciples intending to leave the guest hall made a strange discovery.
"Hey! Where’s the door?"
"I clearly remember we entered the hall from this corner!"
"How did a brick wall appear here?!"
