Crown Prince Mo couldn’t resist laughing.
No matter how sharp this little fellow’s words may sound, her actions were always heartwarming.
The crown prince caressed the little fellow’s head and chuckled, “My Qiaoqiao is so nice.”
Miss Qiao pridefully turned her head around, but even so, she couldn’t resist peeking back at Crown Prince Mo.
However, she just so happened to meet the crown prince’s smiling gaze. This guy’s gaze had been on her the entire time, not even moving away once.
Sunlight Academy’s students hastily made the most of this time to rest.
Once the 10 minutes were up, Zhou Danjin called out, “We’re leaving.”
The procession started crawling along the corridor once again.
After walking for nearly two hours, Qiao Mu halted and said gravely, “Everyone stop.”
“What’s wrong?” Zhou Danjin was confused.
Qiao Mu squatted down solemnly and pointed at the five fresh tally marks on the wall. “I carved this here when we were resting earlier.”
Zhou Danjin and Wei Xu’s expressions both changed.
Everybody’s expressions also turned unsightly.
“No wonder!” The little fatty’s face turned pale as he exclaimed, “No wonder why this corridor doesn’t look long yet we seem to never reach the end?”
“I was also finding it strange.” Qi Xuanxuan analyzed, “So we were just walking back and forth on this path?”
Qiao Mu nodded. “Everybody go and see if you can find something. There should be an invisible transfer talisman matrix on this path. Every time we walk to that transfer talisman matrix, it will soundlessly transfer us back to the starting point.”
“What?” You Xin shouted in surprise, “How is that possible? Did nobody sense anything walking into a transfer talisman matrix?”
“If you could sense something, you wouldn’t be walking back and forth in circles, unable to get out of this corridor!” Ma Ta shouted at You Xin in annoyance.
“Senior Sister You Xin.” He Wei pulled on You Xin’s sleeve and gave her a look telling her to grasp the current situation.
They had to rely on Qiao Mu and her group to be able to get out!
It wouldn’t be too late to settle accounts with Qiao Mu and them after getting out.
You Xin had evidently thought of this, hence she kept level-headed and stopped talking.
Everybody then spread out through the corridor to search for the transfer talisman matrix Qiao Mu had pointed out.
After everyone had gone far, Qiao Mu turned to say to Zhou Danjin, “Mentor, come here for a moment.”
“This invisible transfer talisman matrix is embedded inside this corridor. We probably won’t find it unless we dig up the corridor,” Qiao Mu informed coolly.
Zhou Danjin and Wei Xu looked at her puzzledly. “Then you want to?”
Just now, the reason the little fellow had ordered the group to look for a transfer talisman matrix… was to send them away so that they could talk privately?
“Right now, I have a plan to bring all of us out at some risk. But I’ll have to trouble everybody to go hide inside a storage talisman. Would you be willing?”
“What… do you plan to do?”
“This black-rank transfer talisman matrix that I created with blue talismans will transfer a group of 10 people at most 10 kilometers away, with a maximum of six continual transfers.” Qiao Mu explained, “I would need the mentors and Senior Brother Duanmu and them to enter a storage talisman. Would you be willing?”
Zhou Danjin nodded in a daze. “If, if it can get us out, we are naturally willing to. But-But? That transfer talisman matrix!”
Mentor Zhou felt as if he was listening to an exotic tale.
