The little fatty popped out from the small dirt house next door and admonished, “Qiaoqiao, we got worried when you suddenly rode off on Qingluan. Don’t do that next time.”
“Right, right. You have to discuss with us first no matter how big or small the issue. We are teammates on the same boat!”
Qiao Mu nodded earnestly when she heard this and promised, “Okay.”
Qi Xuanxuan broke out in a smile and laughed while grasping Qiao Mu’s petite hand, “There, it’s a promise! You can’t act alone next time.”
At this, Qiao Mu nodded docilely.
Qi Xuanxuan then tilted her head and filled Qiao Mu in with a smile, “Qiaoqiao, the two teams finally got decided while you were gone.”
“Besides us three, Duanmu Qing will also be in our team.”
“As for Ma Ta that guy, hahahaha!” Qi Xuanxuan couldn’t help but crack up when she recalled Ma Ta’s expression earlier.
“What happened?” Qiao Mu was surprised to see Qi Xuanxuan laughing nonstop.
Qi Xuanxuan’s laughter infected the little fatty next to her, and he also started chuckling.
“Ma Ta that guy competed with Big Bro Duanmu in martial arts, declaring that whoever won would stay. You know the result!” Qi Xuanxuan gushed while laughing, “You didn’t see him then! It felt like the sky was about to cave in on him when he lost. He was nearly about to cry.”
Qiao Mu smiled faintly, a slight trace of amusement rippling across her lips.
Suddenly, Qi Xuanxuan opened her eyes wide and shrieked, “Qiaoqiao! You’re smiling!”
Qi Xuanxuan then cupped her petite face as she made an exaggerated expression.
“Really, really? She’s smiling? Quickly let me see, lemme see!” The little fatty hastily pressed close and asked excitedly.
From his impression, it seemed like this little fellow who had been wearing a stoic and expressionless face ever since they met had never smiled.
Qiao Mu looked helplessly at their exaggerated behavior with a sigh.
She had no idea that Duanmu Qing had been watching the three of them chatting and laughing from afar in the light of the sunset. He had fallen into a daze.
The sun was setting over the west mountain.
At the same time, the entire Lava Mountain Range was enveloped in a layer of crimson under the shining light of the red sun.
He could not tell whether it was due to the scorching heat of the Lava Mountain Range or the light of the setting sun.
Duanmu Qing only felt that the smile of the girl in front of him seemed to have scattered the smog, and her otherworldly looks were like the spring breeze that melted ice and snow.
In his stupor, he seemed to see the illusion of a figure walk over slowly from the other end of the path and smile at him while calling, “Brother Qing.”
Qiao Mu’s life at Apex Academy began.
She practically spent every day in a tizzy.
The academy’s five spirit specialty mentors all took turns.
Don’t think that you only had to deal with a single spirit specialty mentor. In reality, even if it was just the wood spirit specialty mentor teaching Duanmu Qing, all the other students also had to be present.
Just like what the mentors said, even if you could not manipulate this spirit’s spiritual energy, you must understand and even know how to counteract it. After all, grasping its weaknesses would help you swiftly pinpoint your opponents’ flaws in battle and defeat them in a single strike.
Early morning, the martial arts arena on Academy Peak of the Lava Mountain Range.
Qiao Mu was wearing a short, pale greenish-brown garment and had her long hair up in a braid.
She extended her palm and produced a long, transparent water spirit whip.
