Outside the courtyard gate, the tabby cat was happily eating the cakes.
The students were scattered around the house. Some were in the study, some in the west sitting room, and some in the kitchen.
The same sense of dread filled them all. Someone asked in a low voice, "Senior Brother Xie, should we go out and take a look?"
This was Dong Siliang, a Martial Artist in the study with Xie Yunchong. He was the one who'd had an ear bitten off by the tabby cat.
There were eleven students in this group. Logically, they should all be in the same boat, working together to break through the Deceitful Realm and find a way to survive—
Of course, there were no obvious conflicts among the students at present. But human hearts are simply too complex. The absence of conflict didn't mean they could all work together as one.
