Ye Qiu appeared quite calm.
He felt no extra emotional fluctuation at this anticipated event.
Ning Fengzhi nodded to Dugu Bo first.
Smiling in acknowledgment, Sword Douluo Chen Xin also greeted them.
They were already on his side; greeting them was a natural exchange. Looking at Ye Qiu's composed expression, Ning Fengzhi asked, puzzled, "Ye Qiu, you seem to have known all along that the Spirit Hall would make a move against you?" Dugu Bo nodded, glancing at Ye Qiu
beside him, a look of worry on his face. "Kid, shouldn't you hide for a while? The Spirit Hall's purpose might not be simple." Ning Fengzhi nodded, "That's what I thought too. Although they probably won't make another move before the finals, I don't know what will happen after that." Ye Qiu shook his head, reassuring him, "Don't worry, Uncle Ning, the Spirit Hall probably doesn't have any ill intentions towards me; they just want to capture me alive." "How can you be so sure, kid?" Bone Douluo looked at Ye Qiu, puzzled. "Uh, this matter is a bit complicated, and I don't know how to explain it yet," Ye Qiu shook his head with a wry smile. He had told Dugu Bo about this before, but Dugu Bo didn't believe him at all. "Alright, since you know what you're doing, we won't say anything more." Ning Fengzhi didn't say anything more. Ye Qiu and the others had a bright future, they just needed a little more time. Not long after, Ning Fengzhi and the others left the carriage. Ye Qiu also sent Bone Douluo back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. When Ye Qiu reappeared, Meng Yiran was already sitting with Xiao Wu and the others. Seeing Ye Qiu walking towards them, she immediately stood up, her eyes filled with a hint of guilt. "Ye Qiu, I'm sorry." "Haha, there's no need to apologize, you've already done your best." Ye Qiu didn't care at all; he didn't really like girls standing in front of him in these kinds of situations. "In that situation, the two seniors couldn't really help much. If something really happened to them, you probably wouldn't have time to regret it." "I'm sorry." Hearing Ye Qiu's voice, Meng Yiran still lowered her head and bit her red lips. She felt she hadn't fulfilled her obligations, even though they were obligations she'd imposed on herself. "I already said there's no need to apologize," Ye Qiu chuckled, glancing at Liu Erlong and the other girls, then raised his hand. He gently pinched Meng Yiran's chin , slowly kneading it, meeting her gaze. "You protect me, and I protect you. There's nothing to apologize for." Ye Qiu chuckled, looking at Meng Yiran's flushed face, then lowered his head and lightly touched her thin lips, the slight moisture making them even more alluring. Meng Yiran's body trembled slightly, her eyes filled with disbelief as she sensed the sweetness on her lips, involuntarily moving her red lips. Just a slight touch, a gentle friction. Meng Yiran felt a tingling, intoxicating sensation. "Heh, thank you." Ye Qiu smiled, raising his head and pinching Meng Yiran's cheek. Then his gaze met Xue Qinghe's eyes not far away. His smile stiffened slightly. He glanced at Xue Qinghe, then looked at Ning Rongrong and Bai Chenxiang. "Take a good rest, we'll be leaving soon." Ye Qiu instructed Xiao Wu and the other girls before quickly running towards Xue Qinghe. "Ye Qiu~" Meng Yiran watched Ye Qiu's retreating figure, touching her still slightly numb red lips, her face flushed, and she couldn't help but feel shy. "Hmph! You rascal," Ning Rongrong snorted, but didn't complain much.
After all, they had all seen Meng Yiran's attitude towards Ye Qiu.
"Rongrong, why don't you sit down and rest for a while?"
Jiangzhu reminded her from the side.
Meng Yiran was filled with joy, but also felt a little anxious.
She turned to look at Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan.
"Sisters, is Ye Qiu...?"
"From now on, we're family."
Liu Erlong smiled and looked up.
Liu Erlong didn't feel much aversion towards Meng Yiran.
She was a very good girl.
"Sister Erlong is right."
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Meng Yiran with a smile, and she didn't resist the girl in front of her.
...
The Soul Master team from the Heaven Dou Empire continued to advance.
There were no more accidents on the way.
In order to better protect these Soul Masters...
Xue Qinghe temporarily transferred three thousand Ironclad Army soldiers from the cities they passed through to assist in the escort.
At the same time, he also summoned some Soul Master experts from the capital to come quickly.
Along the way,
the atmosphere among the Blue Tyrant Academy students was quite cheerful.
It seemed that no one cared about the robbery.
However, the occasional disturbances from Huo Wu, Shui Yue'er, and even Shui Bing'er
filled the girls with resentment towards Ye Qiu.
As for Meng Yiran, she had already started spending the night in the carriages of Lan Ba Academy.
When Ye Qiu lay on those soft surfaces, he would occasionally touch her
...
Several days passed.
Finally, the entire group arrived at Wuhun City.
Due to Wuhun City's special regulations, Xue Qinghe ordered the Ironclad Army and the Royal Knights to garrison outside the city.
He only led fifteen Soul Master teams into Wuhun City.
Compared to massive cities like Tian Dou City and Soto City, Wuhun City was much smaller.
It wasn't even a tenth the size of Tian Dou City.
However, it still brought a great deal of shock to the Soul Masters. The walls
of Wuhun City, despite its small size
, were built entirely according to the standards of a capital city. They were
constructed entirely of granite.
Even Ning Fengzhi, with his abundant wealth, couldn't help but admire Wuhun City when he saw it.
It should be noted
that this city originally didn't exist; it was entirely funded and built by the Wuhun Hall.
A towering building rises from the ground.
Building such a city is no easy feat.
A cardinal greeted them from Wuhun City, and under his leadership
, the group of over two hundred people was quickly settled.
They stayed at a hotel on the west side of Wuhun City.
To the surprise of the young soul masters
, even the hotel staff were at least level twenty soul masters with soul power.
Where else would soul masters do such work?
This demonstrated the strength of the Wuhun Hall!
Due to the attack on the way,
Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi deliberately chose to stay not far from Ye Qiu.
Although nothing was likely to happen in Wuhun City,
it was still necessary to be cautious.
According to the news from the Wuhun Hall,
the competition would officially begin in three days. The
journey was arduous, and these three days of rest would be enough for each academy to adjust.
The academies participating from the Star Luo Empire were arranged to rest on the other side of Wuhun City.
In effect, the Wuhun Hall had divided the participating teams from the two empires into two camps. Xue Qinghe scoffed
at this
, offering only a cold laugh, but raised no objection.
