Shu Xiaolou disliked such scenes but out of desperation to stop these people from disturbing Lin Jin, she had to reveal herself.

Sure enough, Lecturer Lin wasn't there and a brief investigation revealed the remnants of spell-casting. That's why we have banded together and are heading in the direction provided by the six-eye six-ear beast…" explained Zhong Zifeng.
