Chapter 1931: Meeting
Everybody turned to where the sound was coming from.
Someone seemed to be chiseling the palace wall on the left side with a sharp tool, and the wall finally gave in, crumbling toward the inside.
“Cough, cough. Cough!” A group of people walked in amidst the dust from beyond the palace wall rubble. All of them were covered in dust from head to toe and were extremely worn out.
“Eh? Aren’t these the people from Anyi Prefecture’s Jiaqing Academy and Longjing Academy?”
“And also Yuchuan Prefecture’s Zhongguang Academy.”
“Hey, how come everybody is coming over?”
“Mentor Liao, how come you guys came from over there?” The mentor of Yuchuan Prefecture’s Shuangfeng Academy naturally recognized Zhongguang Academy from the same prefecture. He quickly walked forward to greet Mentor Liao.
“Ah, it’s Mentor Su. It’s great to see you all!” Mentor Liao simply teared up upon seeing the familiar Mentor Su.
Not only was his appearance unkempt, but his spirits had also sunk low.
The academies making up their team were basically in the same miserable state.
“Miss, Miss Qiao?” A shout of surprise entered Qiao Mu’s ears.
Qiao Mu looked up and saw a tall, slender and smiling young lady walk over with large strides. The latter cupped her hands and asked, “Do you remember me? Miss Qiao.”
Qiao Mu saw that her clothes were also wrinkled, but she still looked rather energetic. She said with a nod, “You are Bai Xia. Where are your companions?”
“Ah, they’re in the back. Bai Zhe, Ji Feng, hurry and come over.” Bai Zhe hastily beckoned toward her younger brother and her fiancé.
Those two also quickly walked over. They looked more haggard than Bai Xia, and the clothes on their bodies had gotten torn. They looked as if they had crawled out of some rat hole.
“Sis!” Bai Zhe eyed Bai Xia in embarrassment.
It’s not like he didn’t see Miss Qiao, but how could he greet an old acquaintance in this state?
“D*rn brat, what do you mean by Sis. Hurry and come greet Miss Qiao!” Bai Zhe glared at Bai Zhe impatiently.
“Greetings to Miss Qiao.” Bai Zhe scratched his head, yet before he could flash a smile, a cold gaze coming from beside Miss Qiao abruptly… froze his smile.
/F*ck! Where did this demon come from! A mere look was enough to terrify him./
“Lian.” Qiao Mu turned to hold Mo Lian’s hand before pointing at Bai Zhe and the other two. “This is Bai Xia, Bai Zhe, and Ji Feng from Siyuan Planet’s Baizi Kingdom. I met them when I just came to Shuntian Prefecture.”
Mo Lian nodded lightly, and the trio also hastily returned the greeting.
Bai Xia said with a smile, “Miss Qiao, have you… found your companions?”
Qiao Mu shook her head. “Not yet.”
However, Crown Prince Mo had told her last time to not worry about Situ Yi and them. If she didn’t encounter them this time in the Six Prefectures and Three Provinces’s ranking competition, it might mean that they had directly ascended to the Upper Three Provinces due to some fortuitous opportunity.
The crown prince had also dispatched people to the Divine Province to investigate. They should probably be hearing news soon.
“How come you guys were behind that wall?”
“Don’t mention it. Ever since the mountain shook three days ago and we fell down into the earth, everybody got squeezed inside a long passageway. We finally made it to this point after a titanic effort.”
“The people from Sunlight Academy have food and water! Everybody prepare for battle!!”
