Hearing this, the twenty-odd classmates present couldn't help but sigh. They never expected that the one with the best talent among them would end up like this.
It seems that among commoners, talent isn't the most important thing.
One must be pragmatic.
"By the way, where are Zhao Hailiang and Chen Yu? I heard the survival rate for Dungeon Lords this time was quite high. They should have survived, right?"
"Who knows? I'm not familiar with them." Wang Junxuan gave the speaker a cold glance, his expression a bit displeased. "What... are you very familiar with them?"
"No, no, not familiar!" The speaker shook his head repeatedly, not daring to say more.
At this moment.
Wang Junxuan also scanned everyone and then frowned, "Where's Zhou Wenjing? Why didn't she come?"
"This..." Everyone exchanged glances.
Wang Junxuan cast a cold glance at the person next to him, "Didn't I tell you that for this class reunion, you absolutely had to invite Zhou Wenjing? Why isn't she here?"
"I..."
The person next to him seemed a bit at a loss, "I don't know. When I sent her the invitation yesterday, she said she would definitely come. Maybe something delayed her on the way. How about I go check?"
As he finished speaking, he immediately rushed out the door.
He was afraid that if he was even a little late, Wang Junxuan would label him as incompetent.
A few minutes later, however.
This person rushed in frantically, his face filled with terror, "This is bad, this is bad..."
After taking a couple of breaths, he pointed outside the door and said intermittently, "Zhou Wenjing was killed! Her body is right at the entrance of Tian Zhi Tavern."
"What?!"
Hearing this, everyone, including Wang Junxuan, jumped up, their eyes wide.
"How could this happen?"
"What exactly happened? How could she be killed for no reason?"
"I don't know..."
That person said anxiously, "Brother Wang, why don't you go take a look? There are too many people over there, I didn't dare to go closer."
"Useless!"
Wang Junxuan snorted coldly and hurried outside.
Zhou Wenjing was the goddess he had always secretly admired. He had returned this time precisely to win her favor, but he never expected that instead of gaining her favor, he would find her corpse first.
The twenty-odd people jogged all the way to the entrance of Tian Zhi Tavern.
There, they indeed saw a large crowd of people.
Among them were bouncers from the tavern, curious passersby, and also some individuals who clearly held different statuses.
The scene startled them.
Not one of them dared to step forward.
As commoners, if they had nothing to do these past two or three days, they wouldn't even dare to leave their homes, just for fear of being killed by an unreasonable Lord.
At this moment, with so many people who were clearly Lords in front, if they, as commoners, were to go over and accidentally displease someone, they could lose their heads.
Even the few classmates who were Lords were somewhat timid at this moment. They also feared provoking some incredibly powerful figures. Even though they had awakened, they were still commoners.
Everyone's gaze fell on Wang Junxuan.
There was no other way...
Wang Junxuan could only bite the bullet and go up to see what was going on.
At the tavern entrance.
In the middle of several bouncers stood a very beautiful girl. She didn't look very old, but the bouncers, the managers of Tian Zhi Tavern, and the Lords on the opposite side all seemed very respectful towards her.
At the far side of this girl stood a robust man. Seeing this man, Wang Junxuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly went up to get acquainted.
"Brother Awei!"
Wang Junxuan reached out and tugged the man's arm.
The man named Awei looked at him impatiently and said coldly, "Who are you?"
"It's me, Little Wang!" Wang Junxuan smiled ingratiatingly and made a strange gesture, "Woof woof woof, Brother Awei, do you remember now? It's all thanks to Brother Awei's influence that we were able to book a spot at Tian Zhi Tavern this time!"
"Oh, oh, so it's you, kid. I forgot!"
Awei frowned and said, "You booked a spot, why aren't you going up? What are you doing joining the commotion here?"
Wang Junxuan smiled ingratiatingly and asked in a low voice, "It's nothing, I just wanted to know what happened here. How did this girl die here?"
"You know her?" Awei asked, tilting his head.
"This..." Wang Junxuan hesitated for a moment, then finally blushed and said, "Not really, she's just a classmate of mine. We invited her to this class reunion too."
"Classmate?"
Awei sized him up and down, couldn't help but smile, "I don't think it's that simple, but never mind, I don't care what your relationship is. But your classmate was quite feisty. Young Master Guo pulled her in, wanting her to drink and sleep with him, but she stubbornly refused and even took advantage of the chaos to run out of the private room, saying some nonsense detrimental to Young Master Guo in the main hall."
"So..."
Awei pursed his lips and said in a low, regretful voice, "Young Master Guo was enraged and had someone beat her to death. This matter even alarmed our Second Miss, and now we're waiting for the Judicial Team to handle it."
Speaking of which.
Awei suddenly smiled, "You came at just the right time. Why don't you settle this for the girl with Young Master Guo? Since she's a classmate, there's some connection, and it saves us the trouble of having to find her parents. It's a hassle!"
"This..." Wang Junxuan's face stiffened into a smile, and he quickly said, "This isn't good, I'm actually not that familiar with her. We didn't see much of each other in school. No, no!"
A life was lost, and the Judicial Team was right there.
Signing that document would definitely bring trouble upon him and entangle him in this matter.
Wang Junxuan didn't want to bear that karma.
But...
Some things weren't about whether he wanted to bear them, but whether he had to.
Awei's face instantly darkened, "You say you're not familiar with her, so you're not? Do you know how long it will take to find her parents? Our Second Miss's time is precious, she doesn't have time to waste here. If you, kid, still want to make a living in the Witch Alliance, you'd better obediently do what I tell you and don't try to play any tricks!"
Hearing this, Wang Junxuan's heart turned cold.
He suddenly remembered who the Second Miss Awei was referring to was.
The one he could call Second Miss must be Lin Qingqiu, the second-in-command of the Witch Alliance.
Wang Junxuan never expected to encounter someone he usually could only look up to here. Although they were in the same alliance, everyone in the Dark World lived far apart, and there were no video calls or anything, so it was normal not to know each other personally, at most just knowing some names.
And Lin Qingqiu was a powerful figure he had always wanted to curry favor with.
Unfortunately, he had no way to do so.
He never expected their first meeting to be in such a manner.
