This mission was much simpler than the one in the sea realm. The more than a dozen people didn’t prepare much either. They set out from the Holy Academy early the next morning and went to a small town not far from the grand canyon to meet up with the pupils of the Imperial Academy.
Feng Chen was dressed in a purple robe, aloof and noble, standing tall with a restrained aura, giving one a sense of mystery.
After returning to the Holy Academy, Feng Chen began seclusion and successfully reached Spirit Sovereign cultivation base. In half a year, he went from the Cyan Peak to the Orange Peak, then Purple Peak, becoming a legend of the Holy Academy.
Yu Qing Qian stood side by side with him in a blue dress. They were very compatible in appearance and temperament, and they were more and more tacitly in synch. With just one look, they were a perfect match.
Chi Mo Ran had actually been more relaxed in the past six months. Perhaps it was because he had been in contact with Yu Qing Qian more, his cold personality had become much gentler.
The more than a dozen people were familiar with each other, and the atmosphere was good when on the road, with chatter and laughter.
From the Holy Academy to the north, they used teleportation spiritual plants as usual, then they took seven days to reach the town.
When the pupils of the Holy Academy arrived, the pupils of the Imperial Academy had already booked an inn to stay at.
Mu’rong Jiao greeted the pupils of the Imperial Academy and said with a smile: “You’re all here, take a rest first tonight, then we’ll go to the canyon to explore tomorrow.”
The people from the Imperial Academy were also the same ones who went to the sea realm, as if they had made an agreement with the Holy Academy, and the position of Leng Ling Shuang, who had died, was replaced by a young man.
“We’re indeed tired after travelling the past few days. Then we’ll go and rest first.” Cheng Zhuo took up the offer.
Then the people from the two Academies returned to their rooms and took care of their own dinner. Some pupils also invited each other to go out to visit the town.
This town was the only way to the Central Continent and the Southern Continent, so it was very prosperous. In addition, it was close to three resource-rich mountains, so there were many people coming and going, and a night market had been set up.
Yu Qing Qian just finished washing up when she heard a knock on the door. She opened the door and saw Huo Li Ruo, wearing a black brocade robe of the Imperial Academy, leaning against the door lazily and devilishly, with a sense of austerity, and a little more maturity and charm of a man.
“What’s the matter?” Yu Qing Qian raised an eyebrow.
Although Huo Li Ruo was smart and scheming in the past, but it was still easy to see through him. However, the Huo Li Ruo now was hard to see through.
Huo Li Ruo curled his lips up, “I want to ask you to go for a wander around the night market together. Don’t you like liveliness the most?”
“Sure!” Yu Qing Qian thought about it and nodded in agreement, “And get Feng Chen and my brother too.”
“Up to you.” Huo Li Ruo smiled indifferently, his eyes deep.
The four of them went to find a restaurant to eat at first. Huo Li Ruo took out two pots of wine during the meal—the one with strong liquor was prepared for Yu Qing Qian, and the other pot of light liquor was prepared for the three of them.
“Try this wine.” He poured a glass for Yu Qing Qian first.
Then he picked up the other pot and filled it for Chi Mo Ran and Feng Chen, “You two try it too.”
A strong aroma of alcohol wafted to her face. Yu Qing Qian picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp. There was a spiciness and heat in her mouth, then it was filled with sweetness and a fragrance, “Good wine.”
“I knew you’d like it.” Huo Li Ruo narrowed his beautiful peach blossom eyes and looked at Yu Qing Qian with a smile.
Feng Chen took a sip of wine and his eyes fell on Huo Li Ruo, “The wine’s not bad.”
“Fake celestial, your cultivation base has increased greatly! Not bad, let’s have a drink.” Huo Li Ruo wanted to put his arm around Feng Chen’s shoulders as if they were good brothers, but the other party avoided him inconspicuously.
Huo Li Ruo seemed to be unconcerned. He raised the wine cup towards Feng Chen and drank it all in one gulp.
Feng Chen chuckled: “You’ve also advanced to Spirit Sovereign. This speed is probably unprecedented in the history of the Imperial Academy.”
