Chapter 1803 Deal
The five mentors gazed at each other in exasperation.
Qi Xuanxuan quickly said, “Aiyah, there just so happens to be five left. Do you want them?”
Only idiots would refuse. From how that fragrant and sweet smell invigorated their senses, it was evident that they were top-quality spiritual peaches.
After Paradise Planet evolved into a spiritual domain, all the plants and fruits on it were also enhanced.
XU
Qi Xuanxuan had the little fatty pass the peaches over to the five mentors.
Meanwhile, the five of them peeked at a certain expressionless child who was calmly sipping tea.
It was only natural that they should soften their attitude after receiving a gift. Zhou Danjin coughed lightly and consoled Qiao Mu, “It’s getting late, so rest early. That, we mentors didn’t mean to yell at you. It’s just that, in… in the future, remember to look for us if something happens! Why do you think we came over with you? To protect you all!”
Are you sure it’s not to spur us on to sign up for the battle arena competition, and then to also secretly make some unexpected earnings?
The students glanced at each other. Everybody contentedly returned to their rooms.
The next day, everybody rested for a full day inside Wengka City.
In the meanwhile, Qiao Mu took out three taels of spiritual tea with an aching heart so that everybody could have a taste.
Qi Xuanxuan gasped in surprise after taking a sip. “I feel like the spiritual energy contained in this tea has increased.”
That was only natural. Since the entire mystic domain had evolved into a spiritual domain, the spiritual tea tree’s inherent spiritual energy would naturally become even more copious and dense.
Realization finally dawned on Wei Xu and the other mentors. They concluded while looking at Qiao Mu and them, “This spiritual tea is what you guys drank every time you ran out of energy during a match.”
“That’s right, Mentor. This isn’t a pill, but tea. You won’t stop us from drinking tea to quench our thirst, right?” The little fatty’s expression that said “Mentor, we didn’t cheat” made the mentors wish for nothing more than to knock him out.
Ha ha, was this not considered cheating? The effects of this spiritual tea were at least several hundred times more pronounced than the spiritual-returning solution on the market, no?
Zhou Danjin couldn’t resist twitching his mouth at the students’ collected expressions. “Alright, this won’t count as cheating. But if you guys still want to drink spiritual tea during a match next time, ha ha.” Qi Xuanxuan and company shuddered slightly.
They felt like there was a deeper meaning to their mentor’s unfinished words.
Qiao Mu expressionlessly sipped from the teacup she was holding. “Half a tael per person.”
“One tael!” The five mentors chimed together.
“Seven-tenths of a tael. That’s it!”
“Deal!”
Qi Xuanxuan and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.
Please, what kind of riddle was this supposed to be?
It wasn’t until after the mentors left that Qi Xuanxuan grumbled, “Qiaoqiao, isn’t seven-tenths of a tael too much as hush money!”
Qiao Mu nodded while drinking her tea. “Mhm, I also think I lost out. I’ll just treat it as respecting the aged.”
Alright, just take it as respecting the aged!
Qi Xuanxuan and company nodded.
At this time, Duanmu Qing said to Qiao Mu, “Xuanxuan and Hongwen told you about the You Clan’s extermination, right?”
Qiao Mu nodded.
Duanmu Qing also said, “These few days, we’ve been tracking the head of the You Clan and his two sons, but we were unable to pick up a trail.”
“We suspect that a certain entity is hiding them.”
Qiao Mu scoffed. “There is someone backing You Batian.”
Could it be the person whom that measly ant she had squashed called Brother Gou?
What was this person’s identity?
