Lu Ping didn't know how long Guo Youdao had been looking forward to this day. He only knew that the four of them had been called together by Guo Youdao in the afternoon after their discussion in the morning and were about to be sent on their way.
"Here's a letter. Give it to Teacher Chu Min when you arrive at Amaterasu College. Eh, perhaps she's the dean by now. Just listen to her arrangements for the next month!" Guo Youdao swept his gaze across the four of them with the letter in his hand before decisively handing it to the wheelchair-bound Siffin.
"Perhaps it's the dean?" Siffin took the letter and doubted a certain word in Guo Youdao's words.
"Mm, we haven't talked in a while. Send her my regards." Guo Youdao waved his hand and gestured for the four of them to be on their way. He put his hands behind his back and turned around, leaving on his own.
"What's going on?" Morin's face was still drowsy from an afternoon nap. "I haven't even washed my face since I woke up, and now I'm suddenly being asked to shoulder the college's future? Why did I come here? Why can't I remember? "
"Let's go!" Lu Ping was concise and to the point. He and Su Tang pushed Siffin's wheelchair and set off. Morin stood at the gates of Zhenfeng College and gazed at the two words "Zhaifeng" hanging on the lintel, still in a daze. When he turned his head after a long while, the three of them had already gone far away.
"Wait for me!" Morin hurriedly called out and chased after them.
The Zhiling District and Canyon Peak District bordered each other, and their respective main cities, Zhiling City and Canyon Peak City, were only a few hundred li apart. It was just that there were too many rugged and difficult mountain roads along the way, making travel extremely inconvenient. This was why the Canyon Peak District was relatively isolated and backward.
The northern exit of Canyon Peak City. This was a place one had to pass on their way to the Zhiling District. If one took a carriage from here, they would be able to travel a certain distance. This road had been under construction for more than two hundred years, and it was still in progress. It would probably take another hundred years to completely connect to the spiritualist quadrant.
Therefore, although this road had always been under repair, it had never been bustling before it was completely connected to the spiritualist zone. For many people, this incomplete path could only be regarded as a dead end.
However, today was an exception. Lu Ping and the other three arrived at the north exit. When they were about to find a carriage to finish this "dead end", they discovered that the place was bustling with activity. There were many people and carriages.
There were careful instructions from all directions. Some were worried, some were hopeful, and some were asking him to bring something back home since it was rare for him to go out.
The four of them looked around and soon understood.
Everyone here was a student of Gorge Peak Academy, a mixture of first and third graders. Because the two Towers of Souls had collapsed, they had no way of completing the exam. After the Academy had made arrangements, they were now hurrying to the Twin Pole Academy in the zhi quadrant to complete the exam.
Without a doubt, Lu Ping was the culprit behind this scene. Unsurprisingly, many people had caught sight of him. But because everyone had witnessed his great strength, no one dared complain to him. All they could see when they looked at Lu Ping was a kind of grievance, as if they had been wronged. This was very different from the way they usually looked down on the Zhenfeng College students.
The "culprit" walked among them with a very unperturbed expression on his face. He looked left, right, left, right, as if he was enjoying everyone's grievances.
This made some people feel indignant. Although they didn't dare stand out and make a fuss, they could at least sneak a bit of viciousness into their eyes and curse inwardly.
It was at this moment that Lu Ping suddenly stopped in his tracks.
The atmosphere at the North Exit became tense because of his sudden stop. Many gazes that had been sizing him up all averted their eyes when he stopped.
In the end, Lu Ping happily stroked the horse in front of him. "I'll take this one!"
Everyone was very, very disappointed … Lu Ping had only been choosing a carriage at first. He hadn't paid any attention to whether their gazes had been grievances, grievances, or viciousness.
When they'd thought that Lu Ping was provoking them, they'd either dodged or tolerated it.
But when they realized that Lu Ping actually didn't care about them at all, the Canyon Peak Academy students couldn't take it anymore.
There were only two academies in the Canyon Peak District, and they'd always been much stronger than Zhenfeng College. They were the proud sons of heaven in the Canyon Peak District — this was what they'd always known.
But now, the proud sons of heaven were being ignored. They weren't even as good as a horse in his eyes.
Youths would sometimes overlook the outcome in favor of a moment of pleasure. Thus, someone immediately jumped out at this moment to make things difficult for Lu Ping.
A youth appeared in front of Lu Ping and said in a rough voice, "I'm sorry, but I've already hired this carriage." He was only an ordinary first-year student of Canyon Peak Academy. He didn't have any family background, and his strength was far inferior to that of a third-year student, let alone Lu Ping. But at this moment, he was the first to rush out. This had nothing to do with background or strength. It was simply because the pride in his heart had turned into an impulse.
He pulled the reins of the horse tightly with his left hand and stared straight at Lu Ping. It seemed as if he wouldn't back down at all.
Morin quietly moved to Lu Ping's side and nudged Lu Ping with his elbow.
"Kill him." Morin gestured at the youth with his mouth.
His voice wasn't loud, but it wasn't too soft either. At the very least, it was loud enough for the youth to hear.
The youth's legs immediately turned to jelly, but he held on to the reins with all his might. At the very least, he didn't collapse immediately.
However, the parents who had come to send the youngster off had already heard about it. Of course, they had already heard about what had happened in the big exam yesterday. In the minds of ordinary people, how violent would it be to collapse a tower during the exam?
But now, their son was unexpectedly arguing with this guy. They had been panicking for a long time, and when they heard Mo Lin come over and say, "Kill Lu Ping," their beloved son's parents rushed over. They protected their son and were about to plead with him when they saw Lu Ping turn his head and cast a glance at Mo Lin.
"Are you out of your mind?" After Lu Ping spoke, he caressed the horse again with pity. Then he looked around and went on looking for another horse.
"Hey, you!" Morin was infuriated. He turned his head and saw that the family of three was dumbfounded, as if they didn't know what to feel.
"I'll kill your whole family." Morin pointed at the youth and said angrily.
After the impulse, the youth already knew fear and regret. When he heard this, how could he care about the carriage? He grabbed his parents tightly and was really about to collapse.
"Ouch!" In the end, there was a scream, and Morin's body tilted.
"Are you f * cking with me?" Su Tang said as he grabbed Morin's collar with one hand and dragged him away diagonally.
Rumble, rumble, rumble …
Siffin turned his wheelchair in front of the family of three.
"Don't mind him. He's an assassin. He might have a little occupational disease." Siffin said that Morin's background was no longer a secret. At least, the four of them knew.
"Kill … assassin?" The youth's father, who had been a little calm, suddenly had a layer of ash on his face. He looked like a dead man.
"Hey …" Siffin found that his honest explanation didn't seem to have a very good comfort effect.
"You'd better be on your way!" So he said.
"Go … go …" The father couldn't hold it anymore and sat on the ground. The family of three hugged each other and cried.
"I … I'd better go first …" Siffin quickly turned his wheelchair and left.
