Guo Baiyu and Yang Bao walked through a study room, and Yang Bao frowned.
Guo Baiyu asked, "What's the matter?"
Yang Bao said, "Master, how can anyone be born so vicious?"
Guo Baiyu, "Everyone is born innocent. It depends on how greedy each of them is. The more greedy you are, the more you will be willing to do bad things."
Yang Bao, "I want to help innocent people, so I decided to become a hunter."
Guo Baiyu, "Remember, no matter what kind of person you choose to be, as long as your conscious is clear and don't hurt others, it's always good."
Standing in the backyard, Fang Yaoting and Ping'an looked at everything, but did not find any hidden rooms. There are trees and flower pots surrounding a small pavilion in the backyard. There is a small table and two seats in the pavilion, near the water lily pond.
Fang Yaoting, "I didn't find anything in this backyard to indicate that there is a hidden room here."
Ping'an sighed, "The school is not big and this is only one backyard."
Fang Yaoting, "Let's take a break." Fang Yaoting and Ping'an sat inside the small pavilion.
Ping'an, "When we were in school, there was no negative energy."
Fang Yaoting, "Maybe the school has some protection talismans."
Ping'an, "Renshu is right. We don't want to be here at night. If we have to... it's better to stay in school."
Fang Yaoting, "This place is very beautiful, Dachin will like it here."
Ping'an, "Yes, Dachin loves yellow flowers."
Fang Yaoting smiled and said, "He surely does." Fang Yaoting looked around all the beautiful flower pots in the backyard. He saw a flowerpot with a red flower on it. "Ping'an..."
Ping'an, "What's the matter?"
Fang Yaoting, "I think I may have found the hidden switch."
Ping'an, "Where?" She looked around their surrounding.
Fang Yaoting pointed, "Look over there. All of the flowers in this back yard here of all different color except red, but that one over there is the only pot with red flowers."
Ping'an, "Miss Tan mentioned that the secret door can only be closed and opened from the outside."
Fang Yaoting and Ping'an walked to the flowerpot. Fang Yaoting moved it to the left, and the passage from the study room to the pavilion descended, forming a staircase leading to the underground. The two friends looked at each other. Ping'an sent out the signal.
Just as Lim Peizhi and the Huang sisters walked in, a teenager about sixteen years old slowly crawled out of the secret room. He blinked, trying to adjust his vision with the afternoon sun. The boy was shocked when he saw Ping'an and Fang Yaoting.
Teen boy, "You two are not Teacher Tam and Teacher Ying. Where are they?"
Fang Yaoting, "How many of you down there?"
Teen boy, "I'm the only person down there."
Ping'an asked, "Are you sure?"
Teen boy, "I'm sure." The boy slowly stretched his hand behind his back and took out a knife. The boy grabbed Ping'an's hand and placed the knife next to Ping'an's throat. "Don't get close, or I will kill her."
Zhao Renshu walked into the backyard and shouted, "Boy, let go of my wife."
The boy's hand was shook fiercely, "You want to save your wife, then you... you help me take my classmates out."
Zhao Renshu smirked with a smile, "If I refuse?"
The boy trembled, "I will...I will...Kill your wife."
Zhao Renshu, "Look kid, your hand is shaking too much, be careful of that knife."
The boy shouted, "Come out."
One student after another slowly crawled out of the underground secret room. Twenty-three students, twelve female and eleven male, stood behind the teenager in fright.
Guozhao Zhigiangs said coldly, "Let go of my Shimu."
The young boy, "Get away. Get away." His trembling voice tried to scare the hunters. "When we get to the front door, I will let her go."
Ping'an, "Okay kiddo, let's leave here slowly."
Ping'an and the students slowly retreated from the backyard to the front of the school. At this time, one of the female students stumbled into Tam Lin's body. One of the boys pulled down the robe, and the students cried in horror. The boy holding Ping'an's hostage glanced at his teacher, and then Ping'an grabbed his hand and twisted his arm around to his back.
The boy shouted, "Everyone run!"
The students rushed down the stairs, but backed back quickly.
Ping'an took the knife from his hand, "Stop, if you don't stop, I will let you kneel here." Ping'an released his hand and pushed him away.
A male student said, "Brother Liang, there are thirty people out there. They must be the bad guys mentioned by Teacher Tam."
Guo Baiyu stepped forward and said, "Let's go see if they are the men Miss Tam mentioned."
Tam Liang, "Aren't you guy the bad people Miss Tam mentioned?"
Huang Hongse, "Hmp...If we are bad guys, you think you can still stand here." She rolled her eyes at the students.
Tam Liang, "Ah Kun, let's follow them. They called teacher Tam Miss Tam, so they might not be bad people."
The group of friends walked down the short steps and faced thirty men. The men dressed in dirty clothes.
Zhao Renshu stared at the men and asked, "You killed these people?"
The group leader said, "Just eliminating eyewitnesses. Who the hell are you guy anyway?"
Zhao Renshu replied, "Your exterminators."
The group leader laughed, "Talking big, huh..."
Guo Baiyu, "If you don't want others to know, why did you do it in the first place?"
Group Leader, "We were paid to kill some very special people. These people happened to live in the wrong place."
Zhao Renshu laughed wildly, "You also happened to be in the wrong place on the wrong day." He glanced back. "Baiyu, you protect Ping'an."
Zhao Renshu drew his sword and went straight to the team leader. The bandits attacked the group. Fang Yaoting and Guozhao Zhiqiang unsheathed their swords at the same time and the sword master and his disciples attacked together. Suddenly, countless arrows flew directly towards them. Huang Hongse tossed her one of her flag up and the flag created a shield blocking the incoming arrows.
Within ten minutes, Fang Yaoting and Guozhao Zhiqiang killed twenty two men. The rest of the bandits were seriously injured.
Just when Zhao Renshu stabbed the team leader's right chest, a group of young men wearing different colors clothes surrounded him.
Yi Gouzhi shouted loudly at Zhao Renshu, "Let him go!"
Zhao Renshu gave Yi Gouzhi a cold look. He said, "Let him go?" He pierced his sword deeply into the chest of the team leader.
Yi Gouzhi said again, "Let him go or I am going to kill you."
Zhao Renshu smirked at the young men. He thrust the sword deeper into the chest of the bandit leader. The bandit leader fell to the ground. He stood in front of the group of friends and students. He conjured hundreds of icicles aiming at the group of young men. As a result, the seriously injured bandits were also shot dead.
When some of the young men were injured by Zhao Renshu's icicles, Guozhao Zhigiang flew over, and blocked his master's attack from hitting a young man in white.
Fang Yaoting shouted angrily, "Zhiqiang!"
