After the man finished speaking, his light and shadow disappeared, and a ball of fire rose from the shadow-keeping talisman in the hands of Master Fu.

Master Fu quickly threw down the shadow-keeping talisman, and the shadow-keeping talisman quickly turned into ashes and dispersed.

"Sir, I didn't expect it to be a disposable shadow storage talisman." Master Fu said with a guilty look on his face.

This is because the other party secretly changed the direction of the rune, so the shadow-stored talisman is immediately destroyed after it is activated.

This work was very confusing and would have been difficult to find if it weren't for careful study for several days.

Zhou Fan did not blame Master Fu. He raised his eyebrows and said, "After going back, telling Lord Shen about this, and carefully drawing out the masked man's dress and design, and finding him out. I suspect he is a member of the masked man organization that once appeared in Luoshui Township..."

The masters of the Lishi Talisman carefully remembered what Zhou Fan said.

After explaining a few more words, Zhou Fan asked the Lishi Talismans to handle the follow-up. He turned around and left the Wild Worm Square, found a carriage on his own, and asked the carriage to go towards the academy.

Zhou Fan, who was sitting in the carriage, began to think about everything that happened in the corruption room, especially the shadow talisman and what the masked man said.

In that unknown inn monster, he met a man with long hair from a blue and red ghost mask, and was obviously not the same person as the man with black and red ghost mask from a black and red ghost mask in the shadow just now.

The man said that his master had a crush on Gaoxiang City and asked everyone to move out of Gaoxiang City, otherwise there would be more gifts... The so-called gift might be to catalyze monsters to make trouble in Gaoxiang City.

If this is the case, Gaoxiang City will not be very peaceful in the future.

But Zhou Fan vaguely felt something was wrong. The wrong thing was that this style of doing things was not very similar to that of the masked man organization.

When this masked man organization was in Tianliang City, Zhou Fan and Yan returned, they once analyzed that this organization likes to hide behind the scenes and conduct research in a catalytic way of monsters to achieve its goals.

They never had a direct collision with the power of the official family, but this time they stood up openly.

He said that it was for their master, and this master was naturally their leader... but he had been hiding behind the scenes, and it should be the request made by their leader. Why should he change his original intention now?

Does this organization think it has grown to compete with the official family?

But how could this be possible... Zhou Fan shook his head. He didn't believe that this organization had such power.

This matter was a bit unusual, and he was a little worried, but he quickly shook his head. Anyway, the four towns will soon know that they should handle it properly.

Maybe the investigation into the Mask Man organization will be restarted, which is definitely a good thing.

Zhou Fan pulled up the curtains of the carriage and glanced at it. After confirming that the carriage had not deviated from the direction, he thought of Tianliang City by the masked man.

After the big exam, he joined Gaoxiang Yiluansi and went through the channels of Gaoxiang Yiluansi to know that Yan returned from Tianliang Yiluansi, Yuanhui and Eunuch Ao were no longer in Tianliang City. Yan came back from Yuanhui and left with Yuanhui. As for Eunuch Ao, he seemed to have been transferred.

When he received the news, Zhou Fan was stunned for a while. Yan Guilai left Yiluansi and did not say a word to him. He was a little worried that he could not contact Yan Guilai through the reserved message symbol.

Later, he received news from Yan Guilai's teacher Gu Yan that Yan Guilai resigned from office to practice cultivation, so he felt relieved.

"The journey from Gaoxiang City to Tianliang City is long, but it has been a long time since I came out. After a while, I will go home to see my parents, Xiao Liu and the others." Zhou Fan thought silently.

At the end of the exam, he spent some of his merits and wrote a letter and some small gifts to his family through the information channels of Yiluansi.

Now the things should have been received by their parents, but he hasn't seen them for a long time, and he is very worried about them.

When the carriage arrived at the academy, Zhou Fan stopped these messy thoughts, got off the carriage, and entered the academy library to study hard.

Until dusk, Zhou Fan talked and laughed and came out of the academy gate again, but Zhang Li Xiaohu suddenly followed from behind, and he called out, "Brother Zhou, Miss Li, please stay."

Zhou Fan turned around and looked at Zhang Li Xiaohu, and he felt a little confused.

Zhang Li Xiaohu occasionally comes to the academy, but often he can't see his people.

"I wonder what happened to Brother Zhang Li?" Zhou Fan felt strange, but he still asked.

Zhang Li Xiaohu said with a smile on his face: "I have always admired Brother Zhou's talent, so I want to invite Brother Zhou to a restaurant to drink and recite poems."

Zhou Fan was shocked. Zhang Li Xiaohu was a famous iron rooster. He invited him to dinner. It must be because he saw the profit, otherwise it would be impossible.

Li Xiaohu mentioned that he was writing poems and writing a couple. Could it be that he sold me? When I arrived at the restaurant, the noble ladies who admired me all rushed towards me with thick powder on their faces... Zhou Fan felt a little chilled in his heart, and he coughed lightly and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhang Li, for your kindness, but I still have important things to do tonight, I'm afraid I don't have time."

Li Chongniang didn't speak, but just listened.

Zhang Li Xiaohu uh, "Will Brother Zhou be free tomorrow? If you don't have free tomorrow, what about the day after tomorrow?"

Zhou Fan tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "Brother Zhang Li, we are classmates. You just want to say anything. We don't need to invite a banquet to win over our relationship."

Zhang Li Xiaohu's eyes lit up and said, "That's great. I like friends like Brother Zhou. This is the case. Someone asks me to invite Brother Zhou to meet him."

Could it be those noble ladies... Zhou Fan's heart slapped for a moment, and he asked with a far-fetched face: "Who?"

"Bai Tianhua." Zhang Li Xiaohu smiled cunningly: "It's the eldest son of Mr. Bai, the oldest son of the Bai family. He gave you money to Brother Zhou."

...

...

Bai Tianhua, who was sitting in the restaurant room, was wearing a luxurious brocade robe, but his face was gloomy.

The two servants standing behind him each held a Sifang Brocade Box and did not dare to say anything more.

After a long time, when it was dark, the door was knocked and someone said outside: "The distinguished guest has arrived."

Bai Tianhua's gloomy face immediately felt like the spring breeze. He laughed and said, "Why don't you invite the distinguished guests in."

The door was pushed open, and Zhou Fan and Zhang Li Xiaohu walked in together.

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhang and Li, please sit down." Bai Tianhua greeted with a diligent look on his face.

Zhou Fan had a stern face, and Zhang Li Xiaohu smiled.

The two had different expressions, but they sat down.

Bai Tianhua glanced at the servant at the door brought from the house. The servant bowed slightly and ran to the restaurant to serve the food.

Bai Tianhua talked and chatted with Zhou Fan and Zhang Li Xiaohu, but only Zhang Li Xiaohu smiled and responded a few times. Zhou Fan didn't say a word. He seemed to be just accompanying Zhang Li Xiaohu to drink and have fun.

But Bai Tianhua was not angry, but was a little happy.
