Chapter 104: Tears in Her Eyes as She Executes the Traitor! Teacher Jiang Han is Fierce Today!
Early in the morning, Lin Tianming woke up.
However, he didn't go to Teacher Jiang Han's class today.
It wasn't because he was being lazy or skipping class after a three-day break. Rather, he recalled Jiang Han's painful expressions and words from yesterday, where she mentioned not wanting to see him. Lin Tianming thought it best not to approach her during such a time.
His roommate, Chu Yunfei, had already gone to class, leaving Lin Tianming alone in the dorm.
Lying flat on his bed like a salted fish, Lin Tianming stared at the ceiling and sighed.
At that moment, his phone chimed with a message notification.
Lin Tianming picked up his phone and saw it was a voice message from Teacher Jiang Han. He immediately sat up.
"Why didn't you come today?"
Hearing her clearly irritated voice, Lin Tianming replied with a wry smile.
"Teacher Jiang Han, you said you didn't want to see me yesterday. I thought you were in a bad mood, so I didn't dare to come today."
After Lin Tianming sent his reply, Jiang Han didn't respond immediately. After a few minutes, she finally replied.
"That was yesterday. It's not an excuse for skipping class today. Be at the North Gate in ten minutes, or face the consequences!"
Jiang Han's authoritative tone instantly energized Lin Tianming, though he was puzzled about why they were meeting at the North Gate for class.
As he quickly got up and headed downstairs, he asked her again, "Aren't we having class at the Thunder Awakening Field today? Why the North Gate?"
"You'll know when you get here."
"......"
Seeing Jiang Han didn't want to say more, Lin Tianming stopped asking questions.
Thunderous Burst!
Activating his Thunderous Burst to speed up, Lin Tianming put away his phone and rushed towards the North Gate.
On his way, he ran into Mo Jinghong, one of the top ten strongest awakened in the second year.
Seeing his hurried figure, she greeted him cheerfully.
"Hey... isn't this Lin Tianming? Where are you rushing off to? How about we hang out sometime? I'm free right now!"
"I have something urgent! Next time, Mo Jinghong!"
With Teacher Jiang Han waiting at the North Gate, Lin Tianming dared not make other plans.
Watching Lin Tianming's quickly departing figure, Mo Jinghong shrugged, feeling a bit deflated.
"It's always 'next time.' Why does he always seem so busy?"
After bidding Mo Jinghong goodbye, Lin Tianming continued at full speed.
The Imperial Capital University's campus was vast, and even with his Thunderous Burst, it took Lin Tianming quite some time to reach the North Gate.
However, upon arrival, he didn't see Jiang Han.
As he was about to take out his phone to contact her, he saw Jiang Han's familiar face peek out from a car outside the gate, though she looked displeased.
"Get over here, get in the car!"
Seeing Jiang Han's expression, which was identical to when she had said she didn't want to see him yesterday, Lin Tianming had a bad feeling.
Was she planning to drive him to a secluded place and kill him?
If Jiang Han had her usual patient smile, Lin Tianming wouldn't be so afraid to get in her car.
Seeing him hesitate, Jiang Han urged again, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up!"
Despite feeling like he was being summoned to his doom, Lin Tianming walked over and got in the car.
Once inside, he remained on high alert, listening carefully for her inner thoughts.
[Finally, he's here. Now I can take him there!]
Where was "there"?
A big question mark hung over Lin Tianming's head. Hearing Jiang Han's mysterious thoughts only increased his pressure.
Was she really planning to take him to a deserted place to kill him because of the original owner's betrayal?
The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. Lin Tianming even considered getting out of the car, but Jiang Han had already started driving.
Unable to glean more useful information from her thoughts, Lin Tianming decided to ask directly.
"Teacher Jiang Han, where are we going?"
"You'll know when we get there."
Jiang Han's face showed no sign of a smile, and her thoughts were closed off, creating an oppressive atmosphere for Lin Tianming.
Though Jiang Han's special training was always harsh and could be called devilish, she usually spoke to him with patience and a smile.
This oppressive state only appeared when she remembered the original owner's betrayal.
It seemed yesterday's events had a significant impact, causing her to lose all goodwill towards him.
The drive was shrouded in this oppressive silence until they reached their destination.
Jiang Han finally broke the silence. "We're here."
She got out of the car first, and Lin Tianming followed, quickly surveying their surroundings.
They were at the entrance of a forest.
"Teacher Jiang Han, where are we?"
"The Lost Forest."
Jiang Han's brief response and her minimal speech today contrasted sharply with her usual demeanor.
But her current mood clearly stemmed from thoughts of the original owner's betrayal, making the atmosphere so oppressive.
This also made Lin Tianming suspicious of her intentions for bringing him here.
"The Lost Forest? Teacher Jiang Han, what are we doing here?"
Jiang Han remained serious. "Leveling you up to seventeen."
With barely any thoughts passing through her mind, it seemed she had entirely shut herself off, leaving Lin Tianming unable to eavesdrop on her true feelings.
Hearing almost nothing from her thoughts, Lin Tianming continued to ask, "Why here and not at the Imperial Capital University? This place seems eerily quiet, too sinister!"
"Sinister is right."
Jiang Han's words sent a shiver down Lin Tianming's spine.
Was she really planning to kill him a few steps further into the forest?
Taking a deep breath, Lin Tianming said, "Teacher Jiang Han, can we do this normally? Don't scare me!"
Jiang Han looked at him calmly. "I'm perfectly normal, not scaring you. Just go in. There are many awakened beasts inside. Given your current state, real combat will help you reach level seventeen and improve your combat experience."
Just before entering, Jiang Han finally spoke more than usual today.
However, her demeanor, coupled with the sinister atmosphere of the Lost Forest, still made Lin Tianming feel a bit terrified.
He could already imagine her tricking him into the forest, tears in her eyes as she executed him for being a traitor.
Seeing Lin Tianming hesitate to enter, Jiang Han grew impatient, summoning a ball of lightning in her palm.
"Get in, or do I have to send you in myself?"
Seeing Jiang Han ready to act, Lin Tianming quickly waved his hands. "No need, Teacher Jiang Han. I'll go in myself!"
With that, Lin Tianming activated Thunderous Burst and sped into the Lost Forest.
Watching him disappear into the forest, Jiang Han dismissed her lightning ball and frowned.
"Do I really look that scary today? This brat acts like I'm going to kill him just for leveling up in the Lost Forest. I guess I've been too gentle with him!"
