After the man disappeared, phantom energy rippled gently from behind a tree. Then, Zhou Mingrui's figure appeared at the lower section.
"What is that guy's background? Since he was waiting here for me, he must be after me."
As he looked towards where the man had disappeared, Zhou Mingrui frowned.
Earlier, he had sensed that something was wrong. He was at the Heavenly Saint Academy. It was not possible for random people to enter.
Moreover, the secret realm trial had just occurred, so the academy's security patrol had been strengthened by more than one level.
Plus, almost every person at that age was at the teacher or professor level. Even an investigator sent by a research institute would not do such a thing except under special circumstances.
With all those considerations, Zhou Mingrui decided to pretend to leave first, and then return.
