He Has No Idea That I'm Super Awesome Now

"The ghosts have escaped!!!"

As Ren Zhao shouted that out, the students did not care anymore about any autographs. They needed to get the f*ck out of there, and fast.

Teachers and staffs tried to persuade the students to calm down, but to no avail. How would they calm down? They almost died from an explosion!

"Holy mother of heck, what is happening?!"

Lan Xiang, who was a firm disbeliever of ghosts, saw his world shatter as apparitions of various shapes and sizes flew out of the windows before sneaking into the building again.

Ye Qingle and the others arrived.

"Just in time. Take care of her." He handed the weak and unbalanced Lu Xifa over to Zhang Xiaoqin.

"Wait, Xiang! What's happening?" Ye Qingle asked in urgency.

"I don't know, I'm about to ask him. Wait for me."

He quickly ran off.

"Butler Ren!" He headed towards the shocked and confused Ren Zhao.

Ren Zhao, who was still staring at the focus of the explosion, snapped out of his daze when he heard a familiar voice. "Y- Young Master Lan? You study here?"

"Let's leave our reunion aside for now. What just happened?"

Ren Zhao, who was used to Lan Xiang's carefree and lackadaisical voice, was stunned when he heard how stern and serious he was right now.

"My, my Yang necklace, the one you gave me before leaving. It exploded." Ren Zhao looked pitiful. "Sorry, I couldn't complete your task."

"What? I gifted you a necklace?" As Lan Xiang tried to recall, he suddenly felt like his head was burning. He spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Young Master! Are you OK?" Ren Zhao caught Lan Xiang whose body was wobbling left and right.

"I, I'm fine for now." Lan Xiang quickly stabilized his balance. He decided to put the matter of himself gifting the Yang necklace aside for now. 'There are more pressing matters at hand, after all.'

"What do we do about the ghosts, though?"

Ren Zhao bit his lip. It was his mistake that led to this incident. If only he put the necklace inside his pocket or wore it under his shirt, this wouldn't have happened.

"Brother Zhao!" "Ren Zhao!"

"Brother Gao, Jiang Yilun..." Ren Zhao turned his head behind him.

"Guys... I'm so sorry. This is all my fault--"

Gao Xiandao and Jiang Yilun gave him a hug, interrupting his apology. "Get rid of that pitiful look on your face. We're just glad you're safe."

As Gao Xiandao and Jiang Yilun let go of Ren Zhao, the latter saw Lan Xiang's confused expression.

"Ah, let me introduce you guys. This is Lan Xiang, the son of the master I work for in the capital."

"Ah, I'm Jiang Yilun, friend of Ren Zhao." "I'm Gao Xiandao, also a friend."

"Let's leave introductions aside for now." Lan Xiang's worried expression made them realize the situation they were in. All of the ghosts that they previously captured were now free, exploring the school building.

"What can we do about the ghosts??" Lan Xiang had asked the most pressing question.

Gao Xiandao, Jiang Yilun, and Ren Zhao all looked at each other. They seemed to have a conversation with their eyes. At last, Gao Xiandao spoke up.

"Well, since we lost the pendant, there's nothing we can do about it-- ouch!"

Jiang Yilun elbowed Gao Xiandao. "The pendant only served to keep the ghosts. Since it's gone now, we need to do it the old-fashioned way — on-site exorcism."

She dug through her backpack until she found a thin book, like a manual.

"This. It's an exorcism technique that's based on the wood element."

"Hey? It's the first time we're hearing of this." Gao Xiandao widened his eyes.

"No, she already told me about this." Ren Zhao grinned as he saw Gao Xiandao's jealous face.

Ignoring the two, Jiang Yilun handed the book over to Lan Xiang. "The problem is... none of us have the wood element qi. Maybe one of your friends do?"

Lan Xiang thought about it.

Ren Weiwei was fire, Lu Xifa was space, Zhang Xiaoqin and Ye Qingle... he didn't know.

"I'll go ask. While I'm at it, follow me, let's group up."

Lan Xiang led the group of three towards his four friends.

"Hey, seems like your young master is a natural leader, huh?" Gao Xiandao teased Ren Zhao.

On the other hand, Ren Zhao didn't know how to respond. How should he put it... as someone who had grown up with and taken care of Lan Xiang ever since he was a child, he had never seen the latter act this seriously before.

"It seems so... it seems so."

As soon as Lan Xiang arrived, he heard Ye Qingle's voice. "Xiang, you're back? So..."

"Wait, Qingle. I have an urgent question to ask. What element is your qi?"

Lan Xiang's serious face stunned Ye Qingle as she unconsciously spoke, "Time element..."

As soon as she said it, she quickly covered her mouth. What! Why did I just tell him that?

"Time element? That's not what we need right now." Lan Xiang bit his fingernails.

"How about you, Xiaoqin, er, Ying. What element do you have?"

"Earth. I'm of the earth element."

"Tsk..." Lan Xiang clicked his tongue. "No one has the wood element but me. I have no choice but to go alone then."

Ren Zhao was alarmed. "Young Master! Are you out of your mind?"

"Ah? What do you mean?"

"First of all, you are not of the wood element. In fact, you don't even have an element! You were forbidden from cultivating! Not to mention, you want to go alone? Against ghosts that can be compared to Level 9 cultivators?"

Lan Xiang hissed in his mind. That's right. He doesn't know I'm super awesome now.

"Well, they can vouch for me. I'm off, wish me luck."

"Wait! What about detecting the ghosts?" Jiang Yilun wanted to give her backpack full of ghost hunting devices.

"Thanks, but no thanks. I have my own method." Lan Xiang subtly pointed at his eye.

He then disappeared into the school building.

Lu Xifa widened her eyes. "Guys, what are we doing? Let's go help him!"

Ye Qingle shook her head. "You sit down here. You don't even have any qi left, how are you going to help him?"

"Then you...! You can help him." Lu Xifa glared at Ye Qingle. "Or is it that you still want to keep it secret even in this situation?"

"..." Ye Qingle did not know what to say. After all, she had just witnessed Lu Xifa transporting everyone to safety even at the risk of exposing her secret, that she was an extremely rare space element user. "Haah, sure, then I'll come with him. Xiaoqin, you take care of Xifa."

"I wanna come too!" Ren Weiwei interjected.

"...I'm sorry, but you'll just be a hindrance. You heard what Ren Zhao said earlier. These ghosts are comparable to Level 9 cultivators. I barely make the cut, while you... Just stay here, please."

Ren Weiwei clenched her fist. She was really inferior to all of her friends when it came to cultivation. Although it was important to note that all of her friends were abnormal, and her progress was more according to the norm, it didn't help her to cope with the fact that she was far, far behind.

As Ye Qingle left, Ren Zhao approached his sister. "Sheesh, your friend has a sharp tongue, huh?"

"Brother..."

"But she's right though. Us normal people have to sit back and watch from the sidelines as to not get caught in the crossfire." Ren Zhao smiled wryly. "Speaking of, I always told the Young Master that. Why is it now that he's directly involving himself?"

"Bro... Xiang actually became super awesome when he woke up from his coma." Ren Weiwei cheered up as she started to talk about Lan Xiang's quick rise.
