Chapter 1818 Setting Out
Three days later, the mentors were waiting for the students on Academy Peak bright and early.
“Didn’t we agree to set out at 7 o’clock in the morning? Look at the time. Why haven’t any of them come yet?” Zhou Danjin groused.
“Like I said, you went too easy on them!” Mentor Wei Xu snarked, “What do you mean, I’ll let you guys have a three-day vacation since the competition is about to start! What everybody has worked hard during this period of time! Ha ha, isn’t that what you said?”
Zhou Danjin: …
“Isn’t this because I saw that the students have gotten dog-tired? I thought that they would definitely not be in condition to train if they didn’t rest well.”
Zhou Danjin added, “Besides, we can spare these three days when we look at their previous three months of training.”
However, Mentor Wei Xu snorted, “You think so? If you don’t keep up the training and give them slack instead, look, they’ve gone missing!”
“They’re coming, they’re coming!” One of the other mentors hastily interrupted them when he saw that they were about to start quarreling
Sure enough, Duanmu Qing, Qi Xuanxuan, and company sauntered over, fashionably late.
“How come you’ve only come now?” Zhou Danjin barked in chagrin, “We said to assemble at 7 o’clock! How can we set out with all this dawdling?”
“How do we get there.”
“What do you mean, of course using your own two feet,” Zhou Danjin barked.
“Doesn’t the academy have flying beasts?” Qi Xuanxuan inquired curiously, “They’re not going to take us to the wharf?”
“Humph, in your dreams!” Zhou Danjin immediately turned her down. “Of course you have to rely on yourself! We mentors have planned…”
“You arrive at our destination using your own abilities, but flying beasts are off-limits. As for Qiao Mu? She wants to summon her ancient phoenix? I’m telling you all, that is prohibited!!” Wei Xu rebuffed with a snort.
“Alright, we can set out once everyone has assembled. I wonder if we can even make it to the wharf by today with all your dawdling.”
“You want us to descend the peak ourselves and then fly all the way to the wharf??” Qi Xuanxuan stared at the mentors tongue-tied.
“What else then? You think the academy will prepare a flying mount for you? Stop daydreaming!!” Zhou Danjin shot Qi Xuanxuan down.
It wasn’t for any particular reason. Wei Xu had snubbed him earlier, so he could only take it out on the students, humph.
Each and every one of them was so troublesome. Look, look, he had fought to give them a three-day vacation, yet this ended up making them lazy bones!
“You’re sure you’re all fine?” The little fatty couldn’t help protesting, “From here to the wharf is three times the distance flying to Wengka City!”
How would they be able to get there by dusk?
These screwy mentors were up to their shenanigans again.
Wei Xu responded with silence.
Zhou Danjin’s expression had also turned solemn as he taunted with a snort, “What? This small difficulty has you guys scared? It’s only three Wengka Cities. You can’t fly with your present spiritual cultivator state?”
No, it’s not that we can’t fly. It’s just that where is your conscience by drilling us like this?
Doesn’t the academy clearly have flying beasts… right?
“Where is Qiao Mu??” Wei Xu suddenly questioned gravely. The little lass broke away from the group again.
As I said, that stoic face has no sense of teamwork and discipline! Look, she let people down at critical times.
