Chapter 358

After school, they sat under the arc-shaped building of the cafeteria.

This cafeteria is more like a place for club activities, with a huge crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling, each crystal on it teardrop-shaped.

At the cafeteria entrance there were also posters welcoming new students to sample, students wearing Heavenly River uniforms seated around tables according to their respective territories.

On a particularly quiet table in the tech otaku's territory sat a black laptop, with Ge Xing Xian Wu sitting in front of it.

"Ruyue, this is the coordinate point where the Star Disciple often appears this time," said Ge Xing Xian Wu.

"Can't we detect the Star Disciple's exact location and lock onto the target directly?" Ruyue Xian Tairan clenched his fists.

"Of course not; even if we wanted to capture the exact position at the moment the Constellation Switch is turned on and off, it's still not very possible."

Ge Xing Xian Wu took out a strange burger-like object from his backpack, he pressed the button on it and the burger opened from the middle, the two yellow-brown buns became its two legs, lettuce and meat slices formed its body, and the flashing light decoration in the middle was its head.

Its size is no different from a normal burger, about one size larger than an adult's fist; the food originally made of flour and meat chunks has been replaced with a metal structure, turning it into a transformable robot.

It even has a face capable of making subtle expressions, and two glowing small lights replace its eyes.

"Oh, Xian Wu, what is this?"

Ruyue Xian Tairan jumped at the sight of the moving burger, but after observing it closely, he found this little thing really cute.

"Energy detector, it can detect the energy reaction generated by Star Disciple attacks inside Heavenly River, and can also be used to gather information, though it's not yet perfect, but the advantage is that it can project."

Ge Xing Xian Wu supported it with his hand, the small lights serving as eyes suddenly lit up, and several girls' photos gradually appeared before them in a translucent glow, all being data of girls with excellent looks and figures.

"These are the conclusions I reached by combining the residual cosmic energy coordinates with the gathered information," said Ge Xing Xian Wu.

"It's that guy from last time!" Ruyue Xian Tairan exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the picture.

"You know him?" Ge Xing Xian Wu asked.

"Last time Youmu and I talked, she said she seemed to be the queen of some school," Ruyue Xian Tairan recalled.

"That's right, Fengcheng Meiyu indeed has that title, and all the other girls' data we collected share a common point: they are all contestants in the queen selection."

"Is the Star Disciple among them?"

Ge Xing Xian Wu looked at Ruyue Xian Tairan and said: "No, they are the Star Disciple's targets."

Two of the candidates have already been attacked by the Star Disciple, missing school for a week now, so the remaining contestants are only Fengcheng Meiyu, her follower Sakuma Tamie, and Fan Ye Chun.

I see, no wonder it's Xian Wu. Ruyue Xian Tairan nodded; he wasn't suited to devise a plan to find the culprit, but Xian Wu could, and that way they could perfectly root out that Star Disciple.

Wait, why is Youmu on the candidate list?

Just moments ago he had been calmly analyzing, keeping his tone calm toward all queen candidates, but now Ge Xing Xian Wu's voice suddenly became flustered.

When did Youmu become interested in the queen contest? "What, Youmu?" Ruyue Xian Tairan said with a strange expression.

Ruyue, come look. Ge Xing Xian Wu quickly typed on the keyboard, using the school's intranet to search for news about the queen contest.

And on the Heavenly River campus forum, a pinned post displayed Chengdao Youmu's photo prominently, and its popularity was quite good.

This is troublesome; Youmu might also become a target of the Star Disciple. Ge Xing Xian Wu muttered, "I need to call her and ask."

Although he was the first to tell Youmu about the Star Disciple matter, that was because after discovering his father's relic and the truth of the Star Disciple, he had fallen into an indescribable confusion.

He didn't know what to do next, so he told Youmu, hoping to find a target.

And Youmu had indeed pulled him out of his confusion and stayed by his side, but now Youmu inexplicably became a target of the Star Disciple's attack, which made him indeed a little panicked.

Youmu, where are you now? Why are you participating in the queen contest? Ge Xing Xian Wu asked urgently the moment the call connected.

Um, I'm currently at the competition site, what's up? Don't worry, it was a teacher who suddenly called and told me to go participate.

Chengdao Youmu also noticed Ge Xing Xian Wu's anxious mood and explained the matter in as concise and calm a tone as possible.

Teacher, which teacher?

And that teacher, of course it's Teacher Jiang Xia; he just let me and little Xian go to class, saying he was going to find some fun and headed off toward Senior Fengcheng.

Chengdao Youmu clenched his fist, feeling somewhat indignant, "And then he suddenly called again, saying I had to participate in the queen selection, leaving me unprepared; I'll surely make a fool of myself later."

No, you won't embarrass yourself; just go on stage and loudly state your dream.

Ge Xing Xian Wu also relaxed his worries upon hearing this: "Is the teacher with you now?"

Yeah, he's currently in the audience seats. Chengdao Youmu poked his head out from backstage, gazing at Jiang Xia's figure, and said.

Yeah, then do your best in the match; I and Ruyue will come over right away.

The teacher must have discovered something, which is why he let Youmu enter the competition; he probably wanted to lure out the Star Disciple, and since the teacher still has the Constellation Switch on him, safety need not be considered. Ge Xing Xian Wu thought.

The teacher is on site; if we go now, we should be able to catch that Star Disciple who's been attacking the contestants. Ge Xing Xian Wu put away his computer and burger, and said to Ruyue Xian Tairan.

Good.

May I ask which subject you teach? Why have I never seen you before?

Inside, wearing a white-striped shirt and outside brown overalls, Teacher Da Shan cautiously asked the excessively handsome Jiang Xia beside him.

Actually he didn't really want to ask, but because his beloved Teacher Yuan Tian occasionally glanced toward Jiang Xia, it filled his heart with rage, so he proactively sought to understand his rival (as he sees it), to see what advantages the other had, daring to compete for Teacher Yuan Tian.

If Jiang Xia truly knew his thoughts, he'd probably laugh and cry; the object of your affection, Teacher Yuan Tian, after transforming into a Scorpio Star Disciple, is downright more terrifying than the face-hugger from Alien, so when you confess your affection to her, see if she'll eat you.

I'm a newly arrived psychology teacher; I don't teach a specific subject, so it's normal you don't know me. Jiang Xia said.

So that's how it is, so that's how it is. Da Shan Zhongtai repeated twice, then sat to Jiang Xia's left.

Damn it, what should I do to turn Teacher Tian Yuan's gaze toward me? Da Shan Zhongtai thought incessantly, yet his body remained motionless in the chair.

However, Jiang Xia at this moment also had the same worry: why would Scorpio occasionally glance toward him?

Could it be that I'm too handsome? Impossible, that's a Star Disciple of the twelve zodiac palaces.
