Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared

Chapter 730 - 730 730 The Only Way

730: Chapter 730: The Only Way 730: Chapter 730: The Only Way In the suburbs, within a villa, the flow of air all around was being disturbed by an unusual force.

The once lushly green plants began to decay, and the atmosphere became oppressive, making one feel uncomfortable.

Qian Feng was using her magic, absorbing the essence from the plants and trees and infusing it into Lin Xi’s body in order to prolong her time.

However, this measure only provided temporary relief and was not a permanent solution; its effectiveness was declining.

An hour later, Qian Feng was drenched in sweat, and Lin Xi’s complexion had only slightly improved.

“It’s a good thing you brought her here in time, or the consequences would have been unthinkable,” Qian Feng said, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

Su Hui stood nearby watching while Gu Fan rushed to support Lin Xi, asking, “Lin Xi, how do you feel?”

“I’m fine, I feel much better,” Lin Xi barely managed a smile, hoping to ease Gu Fan’s worries.

Qian Feng however snorted, “Better?

The treatment didn’t go as well as expected this time.

I don’t know how long she’ll last.

Next time if you happen to pass out somewhere public, no matter how powerful my magic may be, I couldn’t save you if no one brought you to me in time.”

Upon hearing these words, Gu Fan was dumbfounded, completely taken aback.

Lin Xi quickly interjected, “Okay, sister, please, can you not scare people?”

“I’m not exaggerating at all; I am just stating the facts.” Qian Feng’s face was stern, and then she spoke to Gu Fan, who was obviously frightened, “Qian Ye ended up like this because of you.

But what can you do for Qian Ye?”

Gu Fan’s heart was filled with self-blame; he really didn’t know what to do.

“Enough, sister.

Gu Fan didn’t mean for any of this to happen, and I’m doing this voluntarily.

I don’t blame him,” Lin Xi hastily jumped in, trying to defend Gu Fan.

“Women, get emotional and you’ll end up doing stupid things,” Qian Feng said disapprovingly.

Then glancing sternly at Qian Xue, Qian Ying, and Ning Qi, her gaze seemed to imply: you better not follow suit.

Qian Xue, Qian Ying, and Ning Qi understood Qian Feng’s domineering gaze and quickly lowered their heads in fear.

Su Hui proposed an idea, “Since only Qian Feng has the ability to sustain Lin Xi, it would be safer to let Lin Xi stay here.”

Although Gu Fan was reluctant to leave Lin Xi, considering the circumstances, he had no choice.

However, Lin Xi disagreed, “No, I have to go back.

Otherwise, I can’t explain it to my parents.

And it was just a careless mistake this time.

I promise it won’t happen again.”

Unable to persuade Lin Xi to stay, Su Hui and Gu Fan had no choice but to accompany her home.

“Since you insist on leaving, I won’t force you to stay.

It’s like trying to slap a cold buttock with a hot face.” With that, Qian Feng walked back into the villa with a look that clearly indicated she had no intention of saying goodbye.

“Alright, everyone, we won’t see you out.

Feel free to come back anytime.” Ning Qi, as the owner of the place, made a polite comment before seeing them off.

Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui didn’t mind, and they all left the villa together.

Su Hui drove, with Gu Fan sitting in the passenger seat and Lin Xi in the back.

The three of them remained silent, each lost in thought.

Su Hui was thinking that it all started when Gu Fan was trying to save her; Lisa drained his Qi.

Lin Xi ended up in this state while trying to save Gu Fan, and Su Hui could do nothing to help.

She decided not to add more trouble to Gu Fan and Lin Xi’s plate.

Su Hui was determined to handle Zhang Yang and Yang Xinran’s disappearances on her own.

Gu Fan understood the current predicament held him powerless and he loathed this helpless feeling.

He wanted to save Lin Xi but didn’t know how.

Lin Xi spent the entire journey staring out of the window and only let out a sigh of relief when they were far away from Qian Feng and the others.

Looking at Lin Xi in the rearview mirror, Su Hui noticed that Lin Xi’s face was still pale, “How are you feeling now, Lin Xi?

Are you going to depend on Qian Feng for the rest of your life?”

At this, Lin Xi shook her head, “The method that Qian Feng uses is only a temporary solution.

There will come a day when transferring essence from plants and trees won’t do me any good.”

Hearing this, Su Hui was horrified, “Then what will we do?

Are there no other possibilities?”

“There are two options.

One is to find someone proficient in magic who can transfer life energy to me, in the same way, that I transferred it to Gu Fan.

But this is less likely, as proficiency in magic is highly demanding and it is impossible to achieve in a short span of time.

So, don’t even think about learning magic to save me.” Lin Xi ended with a forced smile, looking worse than before.

Gu Fan felt a painful squeeze in his heart.

But Su Hui offered some hope, “So Lin Xi, is there another way?”

Lin Xi nodded, “There is.

Remember when I was Queen Qianye, I had access to the spring of life.

This miraculous water can resurrect someone at death’s door and even fill them with exuberant vitality.

I used to bathe in a pool filled with this water every day, feeling refreshed each time.

I had the life of royalty!

But eventually, the spring water dried up, and I haven’t seen it since.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Fan’s face fell, “If you’ve not been able to find water from a spring that existed hundreds of years ago, doesn’t that mean there’s no solution?”

“I’ve been thinking, if we could travel through time back to the past, we might be able to use the water from the spring of life to solve my current problem.” Lin Xi’s eyes were filled with hope as she spoke.

Before Gu Fan and Su Hui could truly comprehend what Lin Xi was implying, they suddenly remembered the three researchers they encountered in the Triangle Sea Area who were there for the space-time door.

Could it be that Lin Xi was on to this too?

Su Hui frowned, “But those researchers mentioned that we need a key to activate the space-time door.”

“I’ve seen this key before.

It happens to be the heirloom of Qin Jia.

Isn’t that a coincidence?” Lin Xi curled her lips into a slight smirk as she spoke.

Gu Fan and Su Hui exchanged incredulous looks, silently agreeing that this was too much of a coincidence.

The thought of embarking on a time-travel venture sounded far-fetched.

However, Gu Fan was ready to conquer any obstacle for Lin Xi, and Su Hui was willing to help too.

They decided to take a chance, no matter how slim the odds.

Su Hui nodded, “Alright, I’ll change our direction to find Qin Jia now.

Gu Fan, you contact those three researchers.

Let’s split up and move quickly.”
