More and more sticky blood flowed, quickly reaching Lin Tian’s feet. Lin Tian wasn’t scared, but standing on the blood made him uncomfortable. He tried to step back and found his shoe soles were stuck to the blood.

Lin Tian pulled hard, and the sticky blood stretched out like glue before suddenly snapping, causing him to fall backward forcefully.

With a loud thump, Lin Tian landed on his butt. Suddenly, his eyes brightened, and he realized the surrounding time and space were different. Looking up, he found himself awake and had fallen off the bed. The sunlight streaming through the window was blindingly bright.

But the dream he just had was vivid, as if it had really happened. Lin Tian rubbed his temples, trying to clear his head.

Just then, the door burst open, and Xiao Manxuan rushed in. It turned out the little girl heard the noise and, worried something might be wrong, pushed the door open without knocking in her haste.

Upon seeing Lin Tian on the ground, she quickly shrieked and covered her eyes with her hand: "Lin Tian... you... you pervert!"

Pervert? Lin Tian looked innocent—he was wearing pants, not sleeping naked, so why a pervert? Women’s thinking was really beyond his understanding.

He got up nonchalantly, habitually brushing nonexistent dust off himself, and approached the little girl. Feeling Lin Tian come closer, the girl quickly turned around, covering her eyes with one hand while pushing Lin Tian away with the other.

The little girl couldn’t push him, so she covered her face and ran out of Lin Tian’s room, shouting, "Jerk! Pervert!"

"Hey, is being young a mistake?" Watching the Second Miss’s flustered figure, Lin Tian shook his head helplessly.

After the little girl left, Lin Tian’s smile faded. He walked to the window; it was already fully bright, meaning he had surprisingly woken up late.

Since he started cultivating, Lin Tian had developed a habit of waking early for practice, usually getting up before Xiao Manxuan. But today he was late, and the reason was that strange dream.

"Jiang Chen, just a few scenes can affect me so much. It seems even in death, you’re not at peace," Lin Tian murmured quietly, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of buildings, looking somewhere specific.

"Hey, come out for breakfast!" Xiao Manxuan’s shout interrupted Lin Tian’s thoughts.

Lin Tian freshened up and came out, seeing the little girl’s face still red. This incident had a huge impact; the next few days, whenever Xiao Manxuan saw Lin Tian, she blushed, especially when Lin Tian showered, making the little girl too embarrassed to sit in the living room watching TV.

It wasn’t until Friday that the little girl fully recovered. On Friday afternoon, there was a physical education class. Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan chatted as they walked towards the playground. Xu Feibai was already on the soccer field, seeing Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan together, he didn’t react.

It’s said universities don’t interfere with students’ relationships; even if they did, Xu Feibai would turn a blind eye, since he’s not really here to be a teacher anyway.

On the soccer field, Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan were about to part ways to attend their own classes when cries suddenly erupted from the nearby basketball court.

"Teacher, someone fainted!"

"Quick, move them to the shade of the trees!"

The chaos lasted for a while, and under the teacher’s guidance, someone was moved under the trees.

"Fainting even before the class starts?" Some students whispered on the soccer field.

Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan exchanged a glance, seeing the strange look in each other’s eyes.

Xiao Manxuan blinked, indicating she didn’t understand, and then walked toward the volleyball court. Just as she took two steps, another commotion arose from the basketball court.

"Teacher, someone else fainted!"

"Quick, call an ambulance!"

Seeing two people faint consecutively, the teacher over there realized the seriousness and hurriedly commanded the students to call an ambulance.

"Teacher Yan, Zhao Weitao usually has a good physical condition; how come he suddenly fainted?" A student asked curiously.

"Zhao Weitao?" Lin Tian frowned, suddenly having a bad premonition.

"Let’s go check!" Lin Tian grabbed Xiao Manxuan and ran toward the basketball court. This guy was previously bouncing around so energetic, not like someone with a weak constitution.

"Lin Tian, where are you going, there’s class," Xu Feibai spoke up, wanting to stop.

As Lin Tian passed by him, he whispered, "Quick, there might be something wrong!"

Xu Feibai’s eyes sharpened, and he followed Lin Tian, leaving a bunch of bewildered classmates behind.

"Hey, why are you all running?" Ning Wenbin later saw Lin Tian pulling Xiao Manxuan along, puzzled to see even Teacher Xu following, wondering what was happening?

"Lin Tian, what’s going on?" Xu Feibai caught up with Lin Tian and asked quickly.

Lin Tian didn’t stop, saying as he ran: "Zhao Weitao is adept at long distance running, mountain climbing, taekwondo, much stronger than most people, how could he faint suddenly? Coincidentally, during a club event, he insisted on entering the basement, but He Xiaofei wouldn’t let him. I suspect he snuck in secretly!"

"With him was Xiao Zhao; it’s too coincidental for them both to faint suddenly," Lin Tian said coldly.

"Ignorant fools!" Xu Feibai said expressionlessly.

The basketball court was right beside the drill area. When the three arrived, many people were already gathered under the trees.

"Please step away a bit and maintain ventilation," the teacher’s voice came from within the crowd.

Only then did the crowd step back. Someone noticed Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan; both were well-known figures in school, recognized immediately by the students.

"It’s Lin Tian and Mr. Xiao!" Someone exclaimed; the two were famous around the campus.

"I remember now, during the martial arts competition, Lin Tian treated Mu Binglan; he knows medicine!" Someone mentioned the two clubs’ martial arts duel.

The teacher inside was visibly stunned for a moment and then beckoned to Lin Tian: "Lin Tian, come and take a look; they’ve fainted."

Lin Tian walked over, finally seeing the two people lying on the ground; one was Zhao Weitao, the other was indeed Xiao Zhao.

Xiao Manxuan was shocked, covering her mouth because she understood the basement’s situation. She knew Zhao Weitao and Xiao Zhao didn’t simply faint. Xu Feibai didn’t recognize them, but upon seeing Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan’s expressions, he knew something was amiss.

Lin Tian squatted down and carefully examined the two’s conditions. Their faces were pale, eyes tightly shut, expressions painful.

Strangely, both wore hats, covering their hair tightly. With such strong sunlight, wearing a sun hat was normal, but theirs were too securely covered, which was abnormal.

Lin Tian reached out, slightly lifting part of the hat, and instantly a strange smell wafted over. Though faint, Lin Tian detected it. At the same time, he saw their hair under the hat, which was very strange, dry yellow and shriveled, unlike Zhao Weitao’s usual hair before.

Suddenly, the hair moved slightly, Lin Tian’s eyes narrowed as he finally saw that under the dry yellow hair were tiny, thread-like insects!
