Feng Chen’s words made the six of them instantly relieved.
Yue Yun Yang looked around and found that the Nine-Coloured Magic Lotus and the two demonic plants had disappeared. He asked in surprise: “Boss, was the Nine-Coloured Magic Lotus eaten by those two demonic plants?”
Feng Chen opened his palm, and six magic lotus seeds of different colours flew out and fell into the hands of the six people according to their different attributes, “I’ve killed the demonic plants, and I’ve also obtained the Nine-Coloured Magic Lotus Seeds.”
The six of them all knew Feng Chen’s temperament and noticed that he didn’t want to say more, so they all tacitly agreed not to ask any more questions.
After getting the magic lotus seeds, the six of them were very excited.
If it weren’t for Boss and Yu Qing Qian, they probably would’ve been killed by those two demonic plants and it would’ve been impossible for them to get this precious spiritual item.
“Boss, you’re so awesome!” Yue Yun Yang put away the magic lotus seeds, raised a big thumb at Feng Chen, then looked at Yu Qing Qian and said: “Qian Qian is also very powerful, she actually wasn’t affected by the sonic attack.”
Their mental energy and soul energy weren’t weak, but they were still knocked unconscious by the demonic plant’s sonic attack. However, Yu Qing Qian wasn’t affected. This only proved that her mental energy was actually stronger than theirs.
Thinking about it, Yu Qing Qian must’ve used some method to conceal and change her mental energy talent level when she was admitted to the Academy during the testing.
Hearing Yue Yun Yang all her ‘Qian Qian’, Feng Chen subconsciously furrowed his brows, “You can just call her Qing Qian.”
When he was a child, Yu Qing Qian always pestered him and sked him to call her ‘Qian Qian’. This name was deeply ingrained in his heart and he just felt a little unhappy when other people call her that.
Yue Yun Yang was stunned for a moment, then chuckled—Boss’s possessiveness sure was strong!
He discovered that if a person with a cold temperament really became attached to something, that was the hardest thing to give up.
“Qing Qian’s healing skills are so powerful! If she hadn’t followed us this time, our injuries would’ve taken a long time to recover.” He immediately changed his way of address.
This wasn’t flattery either. They were jointly attacked by two demonic plants earlier. If Yu Qing Qian hadn’t treated them promptly, their burnt skin would’ve taken at least two months to recover.
“Yeah! It’s thanks to Boss and Qing Qian this time, otherwise we would’ve been doomed.” The baby-faced man said with a smile.
The others also followed suit and they were more certain about Yu Qing Qian’s strength and potential.
“Alright now, our mission is complete, let’s return to the Academy first.” Feng Chen said calmly.
“Yes!”
The group swam out of the cave from where they came and found several whirlpools around the reef.
Feng Chen took Yu Qing Qian’s hand and jumped into one of them, “This one should be able to go up.”
Others jumped in too.
As the whirlpool surged wildly, their bodies continued to rise, and soon they returned to the riverbed where they came down from before.
Only just before surfacing, did Feng Chen let go of Yu Qing Qian’s hand. He didn’t forget that there were freshmen on the shore who came to train this time.
He personally didn’t care, but he felt that Yu Qing Qian didn’t want others to see their relationship clearly.
Yu Qing Qian indeed didn’t want her close relationship with Feng Chen to be exposed to others so early. After all, she was already positioned ‘where the wind and waves were highest1’ during this training experience and was warmed by his thoughtfulness.
Ever since he was a child, Feng Chen had been cold-faced but warm-hearted. Many times he wouldn’t say it out loud because he would act on it.
The freshmen and instructors on the shore hadn’t left and were waiting anxiously.
When they saw the several people emerging from the water, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Huo Li Ruo’s devilishly handsome face was tense the entire time. Only when he saw Yu Qing Qian coming out with Feng Chen and the others did he feel relieved.
This woman just loved to challenge other people’s patience. After so long, he almost thought something would happen to her.
1I think the English equivalent is ‘in the teeth of the storm’, which I haven’t actually heard of before, but means that someone or party is positioned where the struggle was fiercest.
