More and more zealots began chanting, and even the mysterious art teacher joined the chorus...
"Damn! These guys are completely nuts!" Lin Yi muttered under his breath. Realizing that things were starting to spiral out of control, he decided not to dig for more information from the mysterious art teacher and instead intended to grab Li Huiyuan's hand and make a run for it.
However, the mysterious art teacher noticed Lin Yi's actions and quickly snapped out of her fervent state. She continued, "That's not all. I've also heard a certain rumor about the 'Ash Apostle.'
Lin Yi hastily stopped pulling on Li Huiyuan's hand to flee, instead gently stroking her hand as if nothing had happened. With a perfectly feigned innocence, he said, "Your hands feel cold. Is it chilly here? Uh... anyway, teacher, please continue."
He looked at the mysterious art teacher. "What exactly does the rumor say?"
