Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared
Chapter 941

Chapter 941: 941

A miscalculation had serious consequences. Gu Fan had thought that those who surrounded them would be the same people from the daytime, but things were unpredictable, and it turned out to be a different group altogether.

Gu Fan found it very strange. He had just arrived in ancient times not long ago, so how had he managed to offend two different groups of people? It was completely baffling.

Lord Xiong said with a faint smile, "Kid, you really could run during the day, even successfully shaking off those people. Quite skilled, but can you shake us off?"

Seeing the overwhelming number of opponents, Gu Fan knew he wouldn’t be able to defeat them or escape. He kept telling himself to stay calm, as not all who approached had hostile intentions.

Taking a slight breath, Gu Fan steadied his spirit and adjusted his mindset before saying, "I don’t know who you all are, and I don’t want to know, but I don’t believe I have offended you, have I?"

"You haven’t offended us, but we have our reasons for seeking you out." Xue Wang spoke up, but his tone was very rigid, clearly foreign.

Gu Fan guessed their identities, which made him all the more nervous, and couldn’t help asking, "You’re not another group from the West, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Yun’s complexion changed, "What, could it be that they are..."

Gu Fan nodded, "That’s right. You’re from the Devil Cult, and since I’m seen acting with you, we’ll be considered as being on the same side. Currently, everyone is spreading rumors that the Devil Cult is conspiring with the Western Xue Clan. You know about this matter, don’t you?"

"I see, it’s because of my Devil Cult identity that they sought me out." Mo Yun seemed to understand, then her face relaxed as she let out a slight smile, "So it’s another group from the Xue Clan. I’ve really gone through a lot of trouble to find you."

"It’s all good," Xue Wang said as he was the first to remove his hat, revealing his true face, and the others from the Xue Clan followed suit.

Gu Fan frowned. His first impression upon seeing Xue Wang was that he bore a slight resemblance to Lisa, but he didn’t think too much of it and asked, "You’re looking for us to find out about the condition of the Xue Clan that arrived in the Central Plains first, aren’t you?"

Xue Wang nodded repeatedly, "Exactly, I heard rumors that the heroes of the Martial Arts world joined forces and took down the Devil Cult and those Western vampires. I want to know if it’s true."

"Seeing us should give you your answer," said Gu Fan with a meaningful undertone, and Xue Wang understood, letting out a sigh, "The Martial Arts of the Central Plains are indeed remarkable, capable of taking down even our Xue Clan."

At this moment, a vampire suggested, "Boss, now that Xue Lang and company are finished, and the Devil Cult is of no use, do we really need to keep these two?"

"What?" Gu Fan and Mo Yun were surprised, sensing the crisis.

Xue Wang looked coldly at Gu Fan and said, "Whether or not you’re truly from the Devil Cult still needs investigation. What if you’ve performed a play for us, to make us believe you?"

No way, could their imagination be that rich? Gu Fan and Mo Yun were nervous because all they saw were unfriendly looks from the other side.

"If you can’t prove you’re one of us, I’m sorry, my principle is to rather wrongfully kill a thousand than to let one go," said Xue Wang assertively, with an uncompromising expression.

Mo Yun was unhappy, "What do you mean by that? Do you think now that the Devil Cult has fallen, and if it’s no longer of value to you, you can completely disregard us?"

"How can you prove that you are still on the same side as us?" Xue Wang still had a distrustful look, and his eyes grew even colder.

Gu Fan knew that if they couldn’t convince Xue Wang, both he and Mo Yun could be in trouble. In a moment of urgency, he came up with a plan and pulled out a map and notebook, "Look, this is what those from the Xue Clan gave us. It’s also what told us to come here and meet with you."

"This is?" The Xue Clan members took the notebook and map from Gu Fan’s hands, checked the notes, and recognized them as belongings of their companions.

Mo Yun quickly explained, "Yes, knowing they could not turn the tide before their defeat, your companions gave me this map and note to find you, insisting on avenging this matter no matter what."

Xue Wang furrowed his brows and began flipping through the notebook. The contents described the collaboration with the Devil Cult and seemed quite successful; they seemed to get along well.

Gu Fan’s heart pounded. In truth, the notebook also had a page detailing conflicts between the Devil Cult and the vampires, including the deterioration of relations. That page, however, had been torn out by Gu Fan, and another passage that he risked doctoring behind Mo Yun’s back was left intact.

After Xue Wang quickly scanned through the notebook without noticing any issues, he began to believe what Gu Fan and Mo Yun said, that they were part of his group.

As Xue Wang began to trust them, Mo Yun promptly performed a prostrating salute, adopting a posture of appeasement, which puzzled Gu Fan. Before, Mo Yun said she sought the other vampires to learn of their whereabouts and then promptly inform the Martial Arts community, intending together to drive these vampires out of their homeland.

Now, seeing Mo Yun’s behavior, it seemed as if she couldn’t wait to join them, and if this was an act, it was naively transparent.

"Alright, now that we’re all on the same side, let’s look out for one another from now on," Xue Wang said politely, then turned to leave. But as he left, he didn’t forget to look back and add, "I forgot to tell you, those who pursued you during the day have all been dealt with by us. You can rest assured. However, for your safety, it’s best if you follow us."

At these words, Mo Yun’s entire demeanor lifted, and she immediately followed, with Gu Fan unable to hold her back. At this moment, watching Mo Yun’s retreating figure, Gu Fan felt as though he had already lost her.

"What’s the matter, kid? Lost in thought, huh? Let’s go," Lord Xiong’s words abruptly pulled Gu Fan back to reality.

"Okay, alright..." Gu Fan was somewhat worried. Living with these vampires could be described as akin to keeping company with a tiger. If they discovered that the Devil Cult had already severed ties with the vampires, he wondered what kind of thoughts Xue Wang would have.

Just then, Gu Fan noticed Lord Xiong casting a meaningful glance from the side, which made Gu Fan shiver. He couldn’t understand why this old man with an Eastern face was mixing with the vampires, and it seemed that he wasn’t a subordinate, but rather someone the vampires heavily relied upon.

Gu Fan pondered, "Who exactly is this old man?"

Suddenly, Lord Xiong approached Gu Fan, staring intently at him, and asked, "Kid, what’s your name?"
