To my surprise, when I woke up the next day, the whole city was still in a state of "peace." Nothing had happened, and nothing was happening anytime soon.
Of course, the only exception was the doubling of security guards at the academy, who had been upgraded to level 40. Additionally, there were many members from different guilds present in the city.
Apart from that, nothing particularly special occurred. Given the impact of the previous battles, they no longer dared to mention sparring or any similar activities.
Of course, one of the reasons may have been that each of us had individually defeated Huo Tian, one of their top generals. Perhaps the cost of repairing their houses had also caused them a headache?
Speaking of money, after I finished reading all those skill books last night, I gave them all to Aliyah and her companions. After everyone picked what they wanted, the remaining goods were given to Shen Luo, who would sell them on the black market and split the proceeds among us.
However, the situation is currently quite tense, so this plan has been postponed.
After visiting the premises of the Sky Curtain Academy and the alchemy room today, each of us received a bottle of healing medicine, and our day's itinerary concluded.
It seems like there aren't many places left for us to visit. It looks like we're getting ready to move on to the next academy.
Everyone in the group seems quiet today, focusing on preparing for tonight's battle.
"Headmaster! Um..."
Just as the announcement that today's visit had ended, a person dressed in a ninja costume suddenly jumped out.
After seeing us, he apologized and quietly spoke to the headmaster.
"There are more and more of them, and tonight it seems like they..."
"Why? Wasn't it agreed that we would all mind our own business and take care of our own people?"
"I heard that a lot happened yesterday, so they..."
"But that has nothing to do with us!"
"But now they're confronting each other in the city and it looks like a fight is about to break out!"
"These guys! It was supposed to be a secret auction, but things have turned out like this! Hurry up and call our disciples back! Don't stay outside! Those guys will pay the price sooner or later!"
Then the headmaster turned to us.
"Cough, sorry. There's a group of troublemakers disrupting the order of Po Tian City, and our academy's teachers and the city guards are dealing with it. So, you may need to wait inside the academy for a while."
"I wonder if there's anything we can help with."
I immediately spoke up.
"After all, those troublemakers are causing mischief, and it's not our style to just stand by and watch."
What a joke. What about the auction if we stay inside?
Even if we don't participate in the auction, if we don't even get involved in a fight, our mission will be a complete failure.
"But it's not appropriate for you as guests..."
"You don't need to worry about that. We'll take responsibility for the consequences."
I said with a smile.
"You must know our capabilities, so there's no need to worry."
"In that case..."
Headmaster Du pondered for a moment and nodded.
"Alright, I won't stop you. But please be cautious, as the people appearing are merciless killers."
"Understood, we know."
Just then, a person suddenly rushed over, panting heavily.
"Um... you guys..."
"Isn't that the famous celebrity from the Sea Island?"
I looked towards the person running towards us and surprisingly, it was Qianben's brother, Mingren.
"Um, have any of you seen my sister? I haven't seen her since she left home this morning."
"Huh?"
I looked at everyone beside me, and they all shook their heads.
"We did see Qianben yesterday, but not today... Could she have gone to the city?"
"I don't know... I'll go check now!"
Mingren said anxiously.
"Mingren!"
Principal Du shouted loudly.
"You are also a member of our academy. Do you think you can handle those bad guys outside?"
"But..."
"We will help you find your sister. After all, she is our friend."
I immediately spoke up.
Right, everyone?
I looked at everyone beside me, and they all nodded.
"Thank you then!"
"We can't delay any longer, let's go!"
But just as we finished speaking, everyone seemed to have suddenly taken drugs, jumping and running, disappearing in an instant!
Only Oyado and Chunbai were left, smiling and looking at me.
...
"Let's go, I'll buy you some candy."
I said with a bitter smile.

Urgent mission: Find Qianben on the island
Mission experience: 5000
Mission reward: Gain Empathy Detection ability
As soon as I saw this urgent mission, my stomach started to hurt.
What does it mean to have an Empathy Detection ability? It feels unreliable. Is there a display showing if you can pursue a romance?
Do you think this is a gal game, you jerk!
Oh well, the priority right now is to save Qianben.
Although she has a bit of a bad temper, based on the past few days of interaction, I feel that she is just a tsundere like Aliyah.
The city is also starting to get chaotic, it seems that those guys have already taken action.
Damn, did we trigger some kind of special plot?
"In any case, the mission starts, Oyado!"
"What's up, big brother~"
"Find Qianben's location and report back."
"Understood~"
Oyado took a step forward and disappeared.
"Chunbai, let's go!"
"Yes!"
Just nice to try out the new Yin Yang Technique I learned.
"Ink Seal · Rise!"
Quickly forming hand seals and then shouting, I slowly floated up.
"I can fly without opening my wings~"
"Yes, master, it's very convenient."
Chunbai also laughed and flew up.
"Chunbai, you can use Yin Yang Art too?"
"I don't know why, but when I see the master using skills, I can use them too."
"Well... that's good, let's go!"
