“Haha, the sky has cleared!” The sky was blue without clouds. It looked like it had been washed with water, becoming transparent and pristine.
“I slept so well last night! Qiaoqiao.” Qi Xuanxuan hastily ran over when she saw the door next to her own room opening. She then asked with a chuckle, “What’s for breakfast?”
“Mantou, buns, congee, fruit, pastries, dim sum, you name it.” Qiao Mu pulled her along to the dining hall on the first floor.
“Wow, I’m just so happy.” Qi Xuanxuan cupped her face with her hands like a love-struck fool when she saw the sumptuous breakfast spread.
“Alright, sit down and eat.” On the other hand, Qiao Mu beckoned for Duanmu Qing and the other guys who had just walked in to sit down.
Two to three golems swiftly set the table and set down the dishes. They looked exceptionally hardworking.
“Qiaoqiao, it’s lucky that we have your ship this time. Otherwise, we really would have gotten suckered to death by the mentors!” In that kind of situation yesterday, they wouldn’t even be able to retrieve their corpses if they got hit by the wind and waves.
Qiao Mu ate a spoonful of porridge as she looked at Qi Xuanxuan. “Hurry and eat.”
“Say, has Mentor Wei Xu gotten to Polan Prefecture by now with such a huge group?”
“They definitely haven’t.” The little fatty nibbled on a plum blossom cake and laughed mischievously. “But rather than Mentor Wei Xu and them, I’m more eager to find out how Mentor Zhou is doing.”
After flying through the wind and rain the whole night, are you still alright, Mentor Zhou?
Hahahahaha!
Everybody exchanged glances before bursting out in tacit laughter.
Qiao Mu swept them a glance. “We still need more than a day to get to Polan Prefecture.”
“Qiaoqiao, put away the Scarlet Sky Breaker when we’re just about to reach Polan Prefecture. We’ll then fly for a while to put on an act!” Ma Ta suggested.
Qiao Mu nodded. Truthfully, she didn’t really want to fly.
Besides, from Mentor Zhou’s livid but ashen expression, it seemed like he didn’t really want to cross the sea by flying either…
After eating their fill, they had the golems cut them a plate of oranges. They snacked on them as they discussed how to get back at the mentors.
They were able to dupe Mentor Zhou this time, but Mentor Wei Xu was equally abominable. They had to dupe him once too.
Qiao Mu looked at them silently and deadpanned, “I suggest that we wait for a dark and windy night, and then we beat him up after putting a gunny sack over his head!”
Everyone: “…”
“If I use talismans on him, he will definitely give me a dressing-down after the fact.” Qiao Mu analyzed, “If we use a gunny sack and beat him with our fists, he would have no evidence even if he suspects that it’s our doing!”
“Good idea! That way, he can only suffer silently and swallow this beating!” It was unexpected that the first one to jump out and agree was Jiang Shaoxin, who usually looked rather serious.
After a heated discussion, they all settled on Qiaoqiao’s idea. After getting to Polan Prefecture, they would wait for a dark and windy night…
“Help me!”
“Help me!”
“Eh? How come this voice sounds somewhat familiar!”
“Isn’t this… Mentor Zhou’s voice?” Qi Xuanxuan acutely made out its owner. She reflexively got up and walked to the deck.
The others also followed her out; however, their brows couldn’t help but jerk at what they saw.
They saw Zhou Danjin waving at their ship from the water while hugging on to a piece of driftwood.
