I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 23.2

Lin Xinghe said, "We don't need to look for it. It’s written all over her face that Xiao Xue Ji was taken away by a student from the Xianxia department or the fantasy department. She probably didn't know how to be a villain before, at most reaching the level of the cannon fodder villains in the first ten chapters."

Being ridiculed by Lin Xinghe like this, Lu Qin felt anger bubble up in her stomach, and she snarked, "You’re spending so much time here that your cat is probably already a figurine now."

Lin Xinghe said expressionlessly, "You’re really at the level of the cannon fodder villain in the first ten chapters. Thanks for telling me exactly where my cat is."

Lu Qin originally wanted Lin Xinghe to beg her, but she didn't expect to be ridiculed over and over again. Then, looking at the people around her looking amused and pointing at her, she suddenly felt ashamed.

Gu Taoyao quickly asked Lin Xinghe, "Are you going to find Xie Wuan?"

At this moment, a low and cold voice sounded clearly in the air——

"Whose cat broke into my space? If you want your cat back, come get it."

Lin Xinghe didn't know who was talking— the voice came from all directions, sounding in everyone's ears. The originally noisy cafeteria instantly quieted down.

Gu Taoyao looked unnerved, and she whispered to Lin Xinghe, "That was the sound transmission power in xianxia."

Lin Xinghe asked, "That was Xie Wuan's voice?"

"Uh-huh."

The people around were gossiping.

"I don't know whether Lin Xinghe's cat is lucky or unfortunate. After all, in addition to the creepy figures in Xie Wuan's space, there are many high-level magic weapons and props..."

"S-class boss!"

"How did Lin Xinghe's cat break in? Isn't the space only open to Xie Wuan? Sure enough, the good luck of the leader of the Koi God Sect even has a lucky cat?"

"I don't think the cat is the main point. Now, the boss of the xianxia department is allowing a modern freshman to enter his portable space-bubble… She’s probably going to be crippled when she comes out."

"For something as personal as a portable space-bubble, if it were mine, I would definitely kill whoever dared to trespass inside."

"Right? I definitely would try to get into the same exam room as she’s participating in and ‘do’ her."

Lu Qin only knew that Lin Xinghe's cat was taken away by Xie Wuan, but she didn't expect her cat to have such a strong ability. She didn't think about how, exactly, Lin Xinghe's cat got such an opportunity but felt that Lin Xinghe was doomed.

After all, the cat biting Lu Qin and straying into Xie Wuan's space was analogous to the difference between a bully pushing another kid on the street and a someone scratching a limited edition sports car of a perverted, murderous second-generation rich kid.

...She was going to be killed.

As if she hadn't heard of him before, Lin Xinghe inquired where Xie Wuan was and rode her magic broom to find Xie Wuan. The popcorn gallery followed her.

Lin Xinghe found Xie Wuan downstairs at the xianxia department building.

It was said that it was downstairs, but it wasn’t; it should actually be said that it was the foot of the mountain.

After all, the teaching buildings of the xianxia department were mansions floating in the air. They were shrouded by clouds and mists, with the mountain faintly visible in the background. Xie Wuan was sitting in the pavilion at the foot of the mountain.

He didn't wear the school uniform. Instead, he was wearing a white robe with wide sleeves that only immortals from xianxia books wore.

Lin Xinghe had only seen his back in the video posted by Gu Taoyao. Now that she saw the front, she couldn't help but marvel. No wonder this xianxia playboy was called the playboy of the department. He had a face that could turn a clock backwards. He was even more handsome than the most handsome actor in Lin Xinghe’s before-novel.

However, his voice was as dead and still as a frozen-over pond.

"I watched your live broadcast."

Lin Xinghe replied, "Thank you for the five deep-water torpedoes you gave me."

He spared her a glance and continued, "From whence did your cat come?"

"I bought it from the Interplane Mall."

"You're quite lucky, it got into my infinite space* somehow."

Lin Xinghe said: "I apologize to you first for my cat's recklessness. It was wrong for it to break into your personal space without your honored permission, even by mistake. But from another point of view, doesn’t it prove that there is a loophole in your space? If there was no loophole, how could it get in? In this way, respectfully, my cat helped you find the loophole. If I may be so bold, I think it was a good thing that it happened in school. If someone took advantage of the loophole in the exam room, it would be a big loss for you, right?"

Xie Wuan's eyes were calm.

"You have quite the sharp mind."

"You flatter me."

Xie Wuan said: "Your reasoning is factual, so should I reward you?"

Lin Xinghe said, "I don't need a reward, I just want my cat back."

His voice was still as detached as stagnant water, and there was no fluctuation in his tone, as if he were too otherworldly to experience emotions.

TL Notes:

*For ease of understanding and in order to better portray Xie Wuan’s character, outsiders refer to his infinite space as a portable space-bubble. Xie Wuan is a very dignified character who talks in more traditional Chinese phrasing, which is a common trait to characters set in xianxia fiction, so even in English, his language needs to be more sophisticated.
