Song Ji Qiao was a girl sleeping across from Qu Liang. She had a chubby face that usually wore a sunny smile, but now her eyes were filled with tears as she asked, "Qu Liang, you're the leader of our dormitory. What should we do now? Should we drop out or send that nude photo to that pervert?"
Next to Song Ji Qiao sat a girl with light makeup named Jin Meiyuan. She was the most fashionable and academically successful student in their dormitory. Jin Meiyuan reached out and patted Song Ji Qiao's shoulder, her expression calm as she said, "Zhi Qiao, I would never send that photo to that pervert! If we do that, we would lose our dignity and face. How would our classmates and teachers view us? Rather than being forced into a corner, we might as well drop out now. As long as we take the college entrance exam again next year, we might even get into a better university."
The girl with glasses, known as Li Shanjiao, felt her eyes turn red upon hearing Jin Meiyuan's words, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. She wiped away her tears and choked out, "Wuwu~~ Jin Meiyuan, I know you're amazing and can get into a better school next year. But for me, getting into this university this year was already an extraordinary achievement. If I drop out now, I don't know if I'll be able to get in again next year. Wuwu~~ Plus, my tuition was borrowed from relatives; if I drop out, who will pay it back?"
Seeing the fearful expressions on her three dorm mates' faces made Qu Liang's heart ache even more. Yet she forced a cheerful smile and walked over to Li Shanjiao, handing her a tissue while hugging her shoulders. "Shanjiao, it's okay. Don't cry. I have a way to solve this; just trust me."
Although Qu Liang's martial arts skills weren't very high, they were still much better than those of Li Shanjiao and the others who had never practiced before. During their military training, Qu Liang showcased her strong physical abilities and often helped Li Shanjiao with tricky situations, quickly becoming the dorm leader.
The four girls had confidence in Qu Liang. After seeing her smile, their spirits lifted slightly. Li Shanjiao stopped crying, wiped her tears away, and looked up at Qu Liang with hopeful eyes. "Qu Liang, what should we do now? We're all listening to you."
Qu Liang furrowed her brows tightly as her mind raced. After a moment of thought, she came up with a plan that wasn't really a solution but said with a smile to Li Shanjiao and the others, "Didn't we receive a message from our counselor? He granted us three days off to go home and discuss this with our families. My plan is for all three of you to go home and wait. If I manage to resolve this issue here successfully, you can come back to school. If I can't solve it either, then we'll all drop out together. After all, life safety is the most important thing; if we're not alive, nothing else matters."
Though Li Shanjiao was reluctant to drop out, upon hearing Qu Liang's plan, she shook her head firmly and grabbed Qu Liang's arm tightly. "No way, Qu Liang! I can't leave you alone in the dorm; that's too dangerous. You should come with us; we can always go back to university next year."
"Yes! Qu Liang," Song Ji Qiao chimed in. "If you don't make it through this safely, it will weigh heavily on our hearts. You should leave with us!" Both Song Ji Qiao and Jin Meiyuan urged Qu Liang to join them. Although they hadn't known each other for long, their bond had already grown close enough to be considered best friends—this was the essence of female friendship.
Hearing their pleas warmed Qu Liang's heart, but she remained resolute in her decision. With a smile and shaking her head gently, she took out a silver talisman from her belongings. She tossed the talisman into the air and quickly performed several spells while chanting aloud: "Lingling, Earth Spirit, Supreme Old Lord—hurry as commanded! Separation Fire Talisman—command!"
As Qu Liang finished speaking, the silver talisman ignited spontaneously in mid-air without any visible flame and transformed into a fist-sized Separation Fire that floated above them under Qu Liang's control. It danced around for several seconds before finally extinguishing.
Song Ji Qiao and the others watched in astonishment as their eyes widened in surprise at what they saw. After a moment of silence, Jin Meiyuan pinched Qu Liang's cheek excitedly and exclaimed, "Qu Liang! You're actually a Taoist Master! This is incredible! With you as our Taoist Master here, we can definitely break the curse at school!"
Qu Liang smiled and nodded, directly admitting her identity as a Taoist Master. She looked seriously at Song Ji Qiao and the others before saying, "I have a way to resolve this situation. However, the three of you should still follow my previous plan. I dare to stay here alone because I have my trump card. If you stay as well, it will only become a burden for me, restricting my actions."
Qu Liang was quite aware of her own abilities. The trick she had just performed could only impress Song Ji Qiao and her two companions, who were novices in this field. If someone knowledgeable were present, they would easily see that Qu Liang's actual strength was quite low.
The Separation Fire she had conjured appeared to be the size of a fist and could burn for a considerable amount of time. This was not due to Qu Liang's profound magical power but rather because she used a high-level Silver Talisman drawn by someone else, which contained pre-stored magical energy.
If Qu Liang had to draw a Separation Fire Talisman herself, she would probably only be able to summon flames the size of two fingers, which would already be considered impressive.
Unaware of the truth, Song Ji Qiao and her friends viewed Qu Liang as a master and naturally did not worry about her safety. After spending some time with Qu Liang, they eventually left the school and returned to their respective homes, leaving Qu Liang alone in the dormitory.
At this moment, dusk was approaching, and only seven or eight hours remained until the agreed-upon time.
