“Wait here. That’s the only thing I can do. Once this matter is over, I’ll let you guys go.” The man sighed one last time and asked, “I’m asking you one last time. Did you really not receive any news?”
Hai Tianqing looked directly into the eyes of the man in black and answered sincerely, “We’re ordinary students who are here to take part in the snowfield training. We have nothing to do with this incident.”
The tall man turned around to leave resolutely, perhaps because he trusted Hai Tianqing enough.
He turned around to look at the woman and said, “Second last, let’s go.”
The woman who was addressed as “Second last” stared at the students coldly before turning around to leave quickly.
“Teacher Hai? Do you guys know each other?” Li Weiyi asked after the door was slammed shut.
To their disappointment and dismay, Hai Tianqing did not answer the question.
Silence filled the air in the dim cell.
“Tell us what the white signal flare means.” Han Jiangxue, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke.
She seemed to have asked an important question.
Hai Tianqing tried to speak but stopped again. “Clearly, an external force has invaded the snowfield.”
Hai Tianqing nodded in his heart and thought that she had made a good guess.
“Xiaopi?” Xia Yan asked in bewilderment while leaning against the metal bars.
“Otherwise, we wouldn’t have heard the words ‘traitor’ and ‘spy’.” Jiang Xiao thought about it and linked the information together, after which he continued to speculate, “Since the flares were of a different color and were powerful enough to blow up the snowfield, it must indicate a terrible danger.
“According to what they said just now, it’s obvious that these points are true.” Jiang Xiao frowned and continued, “We can probably guess the roles of the so-called Guardians Of The Night.”
Unfortunately, Hai Tianqing’s cell was right beside Jiang Xiao. Otherwise, he would love to see Jiang Xiao’s current expression.
Hai Tianqing asked, “What are their roles?”
“To guard a certain object. Why did those external forces invade the snowfield? To kill the White Ghouls? To obtain Star Beads? I don’t think so. Why would they take such a huge risk?
“If it’s purely for Green Glow, they can easily buy it on the market,” Jiang Xiao analyzed slowly.
Han Jiangxue looked at Jiang Xiao silently. She always thought that Jiang Xiao was a mischievous child who only knew how to create trouble.
A month ago, Jiang Xiao seemed to have become sensible after she gave him a slap. He had also become more reliable. Although his behavior was still rather irritating at times, he had at least become more obedient.
During this time of crisis, she saw another side of him—cool, calm, and collected.
He was no longer cheeky and bubbly as usual. In the dim dungeon, he did not seem frightened at all.
Hai Tianqing asked after getting his interest aroused. “Why don’t you continue analyzing?”
Jiang Xiao pursed his lips and asked, “Continue analyzing? Han Jiangxue has only taught me Year One math. I don’t have enough logical knowledge yet. So you should tell me about it.”
Li Weiyi remained silent.
Han Jiangxue was speechless.
Xia Yan remained silent.
Jiang Xiao asked, “What are the opposing forces looking for, exactly?”
Hai Tianqing remained composed and answered, “No, no one is going to tell you if you don’t continue analyzing, Jiang Xiaopi.”
Jiang Xiao frowned and tried to rack his brains…
“This is one of the goals for our experience in the snowfield, isn’t it? You were composed and collected. You have the qualities of an outstanding Awakened. Xiaopi, you’re very smart. If you’re willing to think and train harder, it’d be great for you and your team. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. Continue thinking.”
Han Jiangxue stared at Jiang Xiao quietly with a look of encouragement in her eyes.
That scene made her recall plenty of memories. Before school began, she set strict requirements for Jiang Xiao when she discovered that he had acquired the Star Technique, “Blessing”.
When she turned around to leave the kitchen, Jiang Xiao managed to stop her by using his Star Technique, Decoy, to create a virtual figure of himself.
He had once exhibited his potential, but back then, Han Jiangxue was too shocked about the fact that he could have two Star Techniques in one Star Bead and so neglected plenty of details.
Jiang Xiao’s analysis was incredibly accurate.
Han Jiangxue secretly thought,
Is life usually too boring for him?
Although he worked hard and conscientiously, he was usually cheery and would only show his potential and treat things seriously during such critical moments.
Thinking of this, Han Jiangxue asked, “Xiaopi, tell me, what are they looking for?”
“Well…” Noticing the gaze in Han Jiangxue’s eyes, Jiang Xiao could not help but be secretly distressed. He thought for a while and then said, “We can think from a different perspective. Some people may be looking for the thing the Guardians Of The Night are guarding.”
Hai Tianqing’s eyes lit up and he said, “Continue.”
Jiang Xiao casually said, “The key information I can deduce from the loose pieces of info on the internet is that the Guardians Of The Night are active in every Dimensional Space.”
Li Weiyi asked, “What’s wrong with it?”
Jiang Xiao replied, “This shows the commonality of Dimensional Spaces. There are treasures in every Dimensional Space that cannot be taken away. Once it’s taken away, the Dimensional Space might be destroyed. That’s why the Guardians Of The Night are guarding them closely.”
Jiang Xiao sighed and continued, “I initially thought that the Dimensional Space would open and close from time to time, without any fixed rule. However, it turns out that that’s not the case. Well, if there was such a huge uncertainty, the nation probably wouldn’t have developed this snowfield or spent so much time nurturing the team.”
“Once the treasure is taken away, the Dimensional Space will be destroyed? What nonsense is that?” Xia Yan felt like she had heard an absurd idea.
“Why did you say that?” Hai Tianqing asked, feeling just as curious.
“Because Teacher Hai just told me that my parents may have destroyed a Dimensional Space to obtain the Silver Quality White Ghoul Star Bead that they left behind for me. Is the treasure in every Dimensional Space the strongest entity? Is that of the snowfield, a Silver Quality White Ghoul? Once the strongest entity disappears, will the Dimensional Space collapse?”
Hai Tianqing nodded secretly. He did say this just now, but because his words were exaggerated, the conclusion that Jiang Xiao found was not that accurate. However, the direction of his analysis was correct.
Xia Yan asked in amazement, “The Guardians Of The Night are guarding the strongest entity of every Dimensional Space?”
Jiang Xiao thought about it again and answered, “Yes… what Teacher Hai said was that my parents may have destroyed a Dimensional Space to obtain the Silver Quality White Ghoul Star Bead.
“Maybe the king of the multidimensional monsters is not important. The important thing may be the treasure guarded by the king. It might be some object or a special location.
“What would cause a Dimensional Space to collapse? Or rather, how can the link between a Dimensional Space and Earth be cut off?” Jiang Xiao glanced at Han Jiangxue and said, “That may be what the Guardians Of The Night and the opposing forces are looking for.”

Hai Tianqing thought to himself in shock,
This kid… is interesting…
Han Jiangxue glanced at Jiang Xiao and said, “Stop playing with Xia Yan in the future. Train your analytical skills. It will help our team greatly.”
Jiang Xiao pursed his lips and thought,
This is going to tax my brain.
I just want to be a happy healer…
