"Quickly find a way to save him, or he'll be burned to death!" Shari anxiously said to Liu Jiu. Although she resented Wang Daxiong, she didn't want to see him burned alive.

  Liu Jiu said in panic: "I can't! I'm a level three magic Psionic power user. I can only start fires, not extinguish them."

  "Get out of the way!" The masked man in the tree spoke at this moment. He waved his hand, and an icy-cold gust of wind appeared near Wang Daxiong, blowing on the burning Wang Daxiong. When Wang Daxiong's flames were hit by the cold gust, the intensity immediately decreased. In less than ten seconds, the flames on his body were completely extinguished.

  Although the flames on Wang Daxiong were extinguished, his clothes were burned to tatters. His originally white skin had turned black, and many areas were burned so badly that a layer of skin had peeled off, revealing the red flesh underneath. Wang Daxiong lay on the ground, crying out for his parents and making painful moans. He couldn't even stand up. His appearance was so pitiful that it was hard to look at him directly.

  "Carry him away and take him to the hospital, or he'll really die," the masked man on the tree said in an emotionless tone. Liu Jiu and the others looked at the masked man with frightened eyes, then hurriedly and clumsily lifted Wang Daxiong from the ground and quickly left the forest.

  "Hey, do you know that you went too far just now? That was really dangerous and could have caused deaths," Shari stared at the masked man in the tree and said in a reproachful tone.

  The masked man looked at Shari and said in a low voice: "They treated you like that, and I helped you teach them a lesson. Instead of thanking me, you're speaking up for them?"

  Shari still angrily said: "Teaching them a lesson is not wrong, but your method was too extreme. Also, why are you wearing a mask? Are you a student here?"

  "Shari, you're still so naive..." The masked man shook his head, muttering to himself. He didn't answer Shari's question but turned around, jumped down from the tree, and with a "whoosh" flew away into the distance.

  "Hey, where are you going?!" Shari called out to the masked man. Suddenly, she realized something and paused, mumbling to herself: "Hmm, his tone is so familiar, his voice sounds so familiar, could it be..."

  "Rulu, don't go, come back!" Shari shouted as she chased after the masked man flying into the distance. However, the masked man seemed not to hear her shout and continued flying toward the distant forest, soon disappearing from Shari's sight.

  "How could this be? I finally saw you, why don't you want to see me?" Shari stood dazed on the spot, looking in the direction where the masked man had disappeared, with a sorrowful expression.

  If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  "Sister Shari, what's wrong? Are you hurt?" Sphinx, seeing Shari standing motionless and not making a sound, followed her to check on her condition.

  Shari shook her head and said softly: "No, I might have made a mistake. He wouldn't avoid seeing me. Let's go, Sphinx. Let's leave this place."

  Saying this, Shari regained her spirits and walked toward the exit of the forest. Sphinx followed behind her. They hadn't gone far when suddenly a black shadow flashed in front of them, and a thin man dressed in black walked out from behind a large tree, appearing in front of Shari.

  "Shari, long time no see," the black-clothed man revealed an elegant smile on his face and spoke in a magnetic voice. This man was none other than Rulu.

  "Rulu, is it really you?!" Seeing this man appear, Shari was first stunned, then her face showed joy as she quickly stepped forward and embraced the man.

  "Shari, what's wrong with you? Even though we haven't seen each other for a while, there's no need for this, is there?" Rulu was a bit at a loss when Shari hugged him. He looked panicked, his arms stretched straight out, not knowing whether he should push Shari away from him.

  "Rulu... I heard that you and Nana disappeared in a terrorist attack. I thought you were dead and that I would never see you again," Shari's eyes were filled with tears. She released Rulu's body and gazed at his face with a very sorrowful expression.

  "Now that you've seen me, you should feel relieved," Rulu said with a smile.

  "Yes, I'm sorry for letting you see me in such an embarrassing state. I didn't scare you, did I?" Shari wiped the corner of her eye and said with an awkward smile on her face.

  "Shari, you're always like this, so impulsive. You can easily get taken advantage of this way. Be careful not to get bullied by bad people," Rulu said with a mocking smile.

  "You're annoying, always making fun of me," Shari punched Rulu's chest hard with her fist. She tried to look angry, but for some reason, she smiled happily instead.

  Suddenly, Shari remembered something and looked at Rulu, saying: "By the way, Rulu, I called you just now. Why didn't you answer?"

  "What are you talking about, Shari? I don't quite understand. I just arrived here," Rulu pretended not to know anything.

  "Stop lying. I know that masked person just now was you. Look, you're even wearing the same clothes."

  "Is that so? Maybe it's a coincidence."

  Shari looked at him reproachfully and said: "You're still lying to me. Oh, I know. Rulu, you're afraid I'll blame you, so you won't admit it, right? You were a bit excessive earlier, but you promptly extinguished the fire on Wang Daxiong, which shows you know how to correct your mistakes. I won't pursue it."

  Rulu smiled slightly and didn't deny it, saying: "Shari, even though you're an ordinary person without Psionic powers, you insist on being a discipline committee member and love to meddle in affairs, bringing trouble to yourself. I don't know why you want to be on this discipline committee."

  Shari's face flushed, and she said: "Because you used to be a delinquent at school, Rulu. You caused a lot of trouble when you were at school."

  "Really? I feel like my conduct has always been very proper!" Rulu looked at Shari with great surprise. He rubbed his chin and pondered, saying, "And what does that have to do with you being on the discipline committee? Were you specifically doing it for me?"

  "You've known for a long time. Why are you still asking?" Shari lowered her head slightly, grabbing Rulu's hand and shaking it forcefully.

  "This won't do," Rulu stroked Shari's head and looked at her with an indulgent gaze, saying, "Shari, you're a young lady from a wealthy family. There are plenty of people pursuing you. There's no need to insist on being with me."

  "What's wrong, Rulu? Didn't we get along well before? Why are you suddenly saying such things?" Shari looked at Rulu, a bit anxiously.
