1577: Entering the City

Entering the City

However, these talisman flames were totally ineffective on her.1

Qiao Mu treaded coldly through the fires toward the inside of the city.

Just as the city guards were about to stop her, they heard Hua Qingyu yelling from behind her, "Let her go. Let her go, let her go!"

"Hey, move aside, excuse me, let me through!" Mentor Zhou Danjin grinned as he chased after Qiao Mu into the city.

Don't be kidding, when should he go if not now?

If he was to enter the city on his own later, wouldn't that mean that he would have to pay the entry fee of one spirit currency!

"Sister, let's go quickly too." Bai Zhe hastily tugged at Bai Zhe, and the two plus Ji Feng also quickly followed along.

Zhou Danjin stretched lazily upon entering the city. There was a joyous smile on his sooty face.

Wahahaha, he truly had made a fortune on this journey!

Not only did he buy food at half of what it would cost in Wengka City in the small market outside the Thunder Plains, he didn't even spend a single spirit currency on traveling expenses. Not only that, he had earned five hundred spirit currency without doing anything!

These five hundred spirit currency would sustain the academy's expenditures for some time!

This was a source of wealth that came out of nowhere. If the assistant dean was to know that he was this capable, he would certainly praise him generously.

Zhou Danjin cracked a grin in glee.

When he looked up, however, he saw that the little lady had already gone far.

He hastily caught up to her and stuck to the little stoic like a medicinal plaster. "Hey, Little Miss Stoic, let's discuss something. I see that you have just arrived in Shuntian Prefecture. Everything must be unfamiliar to you. How about this, you come study at our Apex Academy for half a year. By that time, you would have already gotten used to Shuntian Prefecture… Hey, little stoic, little stoic!"

Before Zhou Danjin could finish speaking, a green vine shot out from the little lady's hand and coiled around the pointy corner of a building's roof.

With a clench, her body took to the air and landed on the rooftop. She then disappeared completely with only two leaps.

"Miss Qiao." Bai Xia finally caught up, but she couldn't help but deflate when she saw that Qiao Mu's figure had already vanished. She stomped the ground and snapped at Zhou Danjin, "It's all your fault. You scared her away. I had originally planned on treating Miss Qiao properly once we entered the city!"

"So the little stoic's surname is Qiao." Zhou Danjin rubbed his sooty chin in contemplation. "You weren't together?"

"I could care less about you!" Bai Xia rolled her eyes at him in a huff before stomping off with her younger brother and fiancé.

"The young people now have such big tempers," Zhou Danjin grumbled. He looked closely in the direction the little stoic had disappeared before cracking a grin.

"I have a feeling that we will see each other again."

At the same time, inside Sikong Planet's Longevity Palace.

Feng Gu excitedly ran inside while carrying a blooming pot of jasper begonia. "Your Majesty the Queen Dowager, great news. Look, this pot of jasper begonia has survived!"

"The people from the Eastern Palace had delivered it. They said that the crown prince consort had instructed the gardener before she left to nurture it for several more days until it had fully recovered before sending it back to Your Majesty."

"Look at how well the crown prince consort had instructed them to nurture it. The crown prince consort truly has extraordinary capabilities to be able to save a dying jasper begonia!"

The queen dowager nodded with a smile. She stroked the jasper begonia's emerald leaves as she said in gratification, "The young crown prince consort is telling this queen dowager that there is hope in life, so one should not give up easily."
