It was already time to light the lamps by the time Qi Xuanxuan, Qiao Mu, and the little fatty sat down in the inn. Mentor Wei Xu and the others were also just returning wearily at this time.

  Everybody’s faces had turned green after combing through Wengka City countless times these past few days.

  Thus, they were momentarily dazed upon meeting the little stoic’s gaze.

  INA

  It wasn’t until Ma Ta shouted, “You’ve come back, Qiaoqiao,” that everybody came to their senses. Their eyes weren’t playing tricks on them!

  Duanmu Qing strode up quickly and immediately looked her over. “Are you alright?”


  Qiao Mu blinked, and she shook her petite head. “What could happen to me? You’re making a fuss about nothing!”


  *Bonk!* Mentor Zhou Danjin jumped over and whacked the back of her head without room for objection.

  The little stoic covered the back of her head as she barked indignantly, “What are you doing?”


  Qi Xuanxuan couldn’t resist coughing lightly as she covered her mouth in suppressed laughter.

  The short mentor scolded animatedly, “You darn lass, you don’t know to send us a message that you’re fine? You made us mentors dog-tired, having to search for you every single day in Wengka City!”


  The stoic face raised an eyebrow. She peeked at Mentor Zhou in his fit of rage and instantly felt apologetic. She muttered, “I-It was just a small accident……”


  “What small accident! Are you stupid?” Mentor Zhou chided, “You don’t know to ask for help? Do you have to act the hero? If you didn’t jump up with that guy from the You Clan, could he have captured you?”


  Qiao Mu’s face flushed bright red. No one had ever called her stupid before!!

  Which person didn’t call her a bright little prodigy?

  This darling was d*mn angry!

  “Humph!” Mentor Wei Xu also gave a sardonic snort. Even though he didn’t say anything, his gaze was filled with his disdain for her.

  It felt like he was saying, he just knew that you little lass had no teamwork spirit. You only knew to be rash when something unexpected happened!

  “Sleep time!” The little stoic ran off in a huff with a red face.

  Zhou Danjin giggled and pointed at the little fellow who was running up the stairs. “So the stoic face can also get angry!”


  “Alright, all of you go rest now too.” The other three mentors also nodded toward Duanmu Qing and the rest. “Everybody’s been

  will return to the academy the day after tomorrow.”


  After secretly observing that everybody had returned to their rooms, Qiao Mu promptly opened the door and peered about. She pursed her lips with a harrumph.

  She procured a dozen peaches from her inner world and set them on the table. Afterwards, she opened the window and started fanning them with a cattail-leaf fan.

  It wasn’t long before the doors along the hallway opened one after another.

  They were all standing in front of their doors and looking around. “It smells so good!”


  Qi Xuanxuan and the little fatty were the first to get drawn in by the scent, and they knocked Qiao Mu’s door loudly.

  “The door’s not locked.” Qiao Mu spoke in a low, muffled voice.

  The two of them immediately bounced inside

  By the time the five mentors arrived, the students had already packed Qiao Mu’s room.

  As the last to enter, the short mentor hastily closed the door behind him to block the people outside from looking in. He walked over and reproached, “What are you guys doing here not sleeping in the middle of the night?”


  However, everybody was too busy eating the peach in their hands to pay any attention to the five mentors.
