It's past 9 PM at night, and the closed east gate of the school has been reopened.
Headmaster Cha and his companions are sitting in front of the gate, drinking tea around a temporarily set-up table.
There are not many participants on this trip, besides his assistant Zhu Li, there are also a few department heads from various grades.
One of them is Lan Feng, the head of the first-grade cultivation department.
"At this hour, they should have already started."
Headmaster Cha holds his teacup and checks the time.
"Are things sorted out with the students?"
The head of the third-grade combat department, a middle-aged man, looks at Zhu Li.
"During the day, we mobilized all the third and fourth-year members of the student council, along with some teachers skilled in searching, to comb through the East Wilderness Ridge."
Zhu Li nods and provides an update on the situation.
"We even inspected the illusion fog."
