WTYTIAAN Chapter 138

Chapter 138

Very good, Penelope is indeed the current headmaster, and she immediately understood how to use the chat system to communicate with him.

[Good day (private)]: It’s me.

Yan Yunqing also mentioned the masked man he met in Buma City and Penelope, but concealed the fact that the person who called him Young Master had the same name as his roommate, only using it to explain that he suspected his teammate was taken away by the other party.

Their fate is currently unknown.

Yan Yunqing was also multitasking, dealing with Robin and Demetrius, and even Demetrius, who was trying to stop Yan Yunqing from contacting Professor Walkerly, didn’t realize that he had already told the headmaster, who was of a higher level, about this matter.

After all, no one would have thought that Yan Yunqing had such a bug-level information transmission channel!

“Let’s split up to search. In three hours, regardless of whether we have results or not, we must return to this place to meet. If Rowena and William are still missing after three hours, we will use the pager,” Yan Yunqing said. “If you encounter danger in the process, you can also use the pager at any time. Your own life and safety are the priority.”

Robin had no objections.

Demetrius hesitated a bit, but since Robin didn’t say anything, he nodded as well. “Okay.”

Yan Yunqing nodded. “Let’s go.”

Robin looked at Yan Yunqing and took the lead to run out. He was a swordsman who followed the rogue path, so he was faster than Yan Yunqing and the others, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Yan Yunqing looked at Demetrius. “Which direction are you going?”

Yan Yunqing was clearly waiting for Demetrius to choose a direction so he could choose the other one. Demetrius hesitated for a moment and pointed to the north. “That way, I guess.”

Yan Yunqing nodded. “Okay, then I’ll go the other way. Remember to come back in three hours.”

Demetrius returned to his previous taciturn state, lightly hummed in agreement, and turned to leave.

Yan Yunqing stood in place for a while, confirming that Demetrius’s position on the mini-map was gradually moving away and disappearing from the mini-map, before using his transformation ability to become a Kami beast.

It was the unlucky Kami beast that he and Demetrius had hunted before. This Kami beast was about the same size as the cat that Yan Yunqing had previously transformed into, and it was also a transformable unit he could choose. Yan Yunqing decisively abandoned his black cat persona and switched to the Kami beast.

After all, in this forest, the probability of a black cat appearing was far lower than that of an ordinary Kami beast. Besides, he had already exposed his black cat persona in front of another “Demetrius” before, Yan Yunqing wasn’t stupid enough to let the same black cat appear in the forest.

Wouldn’t that clearly be suspicious?

Yan Yunqing disappeared from the spot, leaving behind a dusty gray Kami beast. He shook his fur, and after getting used to the fluffy big tail, Yan Yunqing chased after the direction Demetrius had left.

Like the black cat, the Kami beast ran on all four legs. Yan Yunqing was already used to the black cat’s way of walking, so switching to the Kami beast wasn’t a problem.

After running a few steps, Yan Yunqing kept a distance, not closely following behind Demetrius. He had learned from his previous experience of being led in circles, using the mini-map to ensure he didn’t lose track was enough.

He wanted to avoid this Demetrius giving him another experience of running in circles around the forest.

Penelope indicated that she had already sent the teachers who came with them into the forest to check on the situation of the other squads. Yan Yunqing knew that teachers would be coming over to their side soon as well. If Rowena and William were really taken away, the pagers on their bodies would allow the academy teachers to quickly pinpoint their location.

If all else failed, there were also teachers in the academy who were skilled in tracking. It was better to let professionals do professional things than for Yan Yunqing to search the forest aimlessly for Rowena and William.

As for why Yan Yunqing proposed splitting up to search, it was just to distract Robin. If any of this was really related to Demetrius, it would be more dangerous for Robin to follow.

Yan Yunqing nimbly jumped on the branches. The Kami beast’s talent allowed him to move freely between different branches, as light as a feather, jumping around without making any sound.

Yan Yunqing discovered that Demetrius was heading towards the depths of the forest.

It didn’t seem like he was looking for his companions, but rather like he had a clear destination in mind.

Yan Yunqing clicked his tongue, he had completely regarded the two Demetriuses as the same person in his heart.

The little blue dot on the mini-map suddenly stopped moving. Yan Yunqing also stopped in his tracks, waiting in place for a while. The little blue dot that was originally on the mini-map disappeared.

Yan Yunqing was shocked and ran towards the position where Demetrius disappeared. They were separated by several hundred meters, and the forest path was difficult to navigate. It took Yan Yunqing a few minutes to run to the location where Demetrius had disappeared.

Nothing…

Just an ordinary forest, surrounded by towering trees, no different from the forest he had come through, except that the trees here were taller.

Where did Demetrius go?

Did this guy also have the ability to teleport? How could he disappear in an instant?

Yan Yunqing climbed up a tree, looking around from the top with the best view, but he didn’t find any trace of Demetrius.

Could it be that Demetrius discovered him and ran away?

That’s not right, he was just an ordinary Kami beast now, Demetrius shouldn’t suspect him!

Yan Yunqing’s big ears twitched. The Kami beast was similar to the Fennec fox on Blue Star, with pointed and long ears that were as good as the black cat’s hearing.

He heard a faint sound coming from not far away.

“Quill, should we go back?” A weak voice sounded. “The elder said that many humans will be entering the forest recently, so we shouldn’t run around, did you forget?”

“Oh come on, what does it matter!” Another, clearly more cheerful voice said. “I know who’s coming this time, that super famous academy. Didn’t Sister Talisin go to that academy? Maybe she’ll come back today, let’s go out and look for her!”

“But…”

Yan Yunqing probed towards the source of the sound, eventually discovering the owners of these two voices in a tree – two elf cubs.

Elves in their cub stage were no more than 20 centimeters tall, and the two in front of him were about thirteen or fourteen centimeters tall. Their beautiful, translucent wings fluttered constantly. If you didn’t look closely, you might mistake these two elves for dragonflies resting on the tree.

Yan Yunqing thought for a moment, then agilely climbed to the treetop and landed next to the two elves.

“Ah!”

“Wow!”

Two exclamations came from the elf cubs. The elf wearing a small skirt covered her mouth and flew a little higher in fright, while the other elf wearing shorts remained in place, widening his eyes. After seeing Yan Yunqing’s appearance clearly, he immediately closed his opened mouth and mocked his companion, “Idiot Zara, it’s just a Kami beast, why are you so scared!”

Zara took a closer look, confirming that the one in front of her was indeed just a Kami beast, and breathed a sigh of relief, flying down a little. Hearing Quill’s words, she pouted, her voice still soft and Glutinous. “But I was really scared! You screamed too, Quill!”

Quill rolled his eyes. “I thought there was some danger, I wasn’t scared, okay!”

Zara dragged out her voice, “Okay—— then…”

She seemed to want to say something more, but was interrupted by Yan Yunqing.

“Really?”

Zara was stunned, looked at the Kami beast, then at Quill, and asked uncertainly, “D-did I hear it wrong? I thought I heard the Kami beast talking?”

Quill was also very surprised, because he had also heard the Kami beast’s voice. He flapped his wings and approached the Kami beast that suddenly appeared next to them. “S-seems like it? I heard it too.”

Yan Yunqing tilted his head. “Well, you didn’t hear wrong.”

“Ah!”

“Wow!”

Two more screams, the two elves simultaneously showing a startled expression, retreated a distance together.

Zara covered her mouth: “The Kami beast spoke!”

Quill’s pupils shook: “The Kami beast really spoke!”

Looking at the two elves’ exaggerated and shocked appearances, Yan Yunqing found it a bit funny. He knew that the Norman Forest was connected to the elven territory, but only by going deeper would one reach the edge of the elven territory. Ordinary people rarely ventured that deep, and elves rarely appeared on the edge of the forest.

These two little elves appearing here, far from their territory, were probably sneaking out to play.

Seeing them, Yan Yunqing couldn’t help but think of Lillian, whom he hadn’t contacted for a long time. He wondered how her growth period was going.

“The Kami beast can actually talk, the elder even lied to us, saying that Kami beasts are low-intelligence animals and can’t talk!” Quill was greatly shocked. “Zara, why did he lie to us?”

Zara repeated confusedly: “Why?”

Yan Yunqing: “…Maybe because I’m not a Kami beast?”

“Don’t joke around!” Quill snorted twice, putting his hands on his hips very smugly. “How could you not be a Kami beast!”

He flew over and pinched Yan Yunqing’s two big ears on his head. “This ear is Kami’s ear!”

Zara also followed over, nodding repeatedly: “Yes, yes!”

Yan Yunqing shook his ears, shaking Quill away, and canceled his transformation. In an instant, the originally cute and adorable Kami beast disappeared, leaving only a man sitting on the branch, one foot on the tree trunk, the other leg hanging leisurely.

He reached out and grabbed Quill, who had been shaken away.

Zara was surprised: “Ah!”

Quill was dizzy: “Ugh…”

“H-human?” Zara’s surprise turned to horror, looking at Quill being pinched in Yan Yunqing’s hand, “W-what are you going to do to Quill?”

Yan Yunqing blinked, let go of Quill’s hand, and returned him to the little elf. “I didn’t do anything, I was just afraid he would fall.”

Quill finally reacted, looking at Yan Yunqing who had transformed into a human, and opened his mouth wide: “You are—a Kami beast that can turn into a human!”

Yan Yunqing: …

Yan Yunqing supported his forehead. These two elves were really cute and clueless. No wonder the elder didn’t let them out with this level of intelligence. They would be easily fooled!

“Let’s not talk about the Kami beast thing for now. You can temporarily think of me as a Kami beast that can turn into a human.”

“Have you two been here the whole time? Have you seen a man wearing a dark blue mage robe?”
