The Canyon Peak Mountain wasn't too tall, but it was undulating. Leaving the mountain wasn't something that could be done in a short time. No matter when they set off, it was inevitable to spend the night in the mountain. People who left the mountain would usually travel in groups to look out for each other. It wasn't uncommon for wild beasts to attack people in the forest.
But to the students of the Canyon Peak Academy, this wasn't too difficult. Although they were young, they were still cultivators. With a bit of cultivation, dealing with ordinary wild beasts wouldn't be a problem. There might be some first-year students with lower cultivation who might be in danger, but they had already found companions to travel with. What ordinary people thought was dangerous was nothing to the students of the Canyon Peak Academy.
The students of the Canyon Peak Academy didn't care, and the city lord's residence had many experts. They didn't even consider this problem. After traveling for a while, the sky gradually darkened. They casually chose a place to set up camp. Spending the night in the mountain was something they had long since prepared for.
Although they didn't think there would be any danger, the guards of the city lord's residence were still cautious.
Wei Ming carefully observed the surroundings, then returned to report to Wei Tianqi. Wei Tianqi subconsciously listened and didn't take it to heart. This was because he knew very well that Wei Ming's report to him was just a formality. After all, he was their nominal little master. But his father, Wei Zhong, was a person who placed great importance on efficiency. Although he was Wei Zhong's only son, he was still inexperienced and immature. In Wei Zhong's eyes, he was far from being able to take charge. With him in charge, he naturally wouldn't be as efficient as with Wei Ming.
"This is the situation in the surroundings." Wei Ming finished his report.
"Mm," Wei Tianqi answered absent-mindedly. He was looking at Wei Yang. Wei Yang, who always had a smile on his face, could no longer smile. He wore a mask that fixed the bones on his face, making him look clumsy and ugly. He couldn't say anything, nor could he make any expression. Only his eyes were exposed, and from time to time, his eyes revealed only one emotion, and that was resentment.
Wei Yang packed up the tents needed for the night. Wei Ming came over to help after reporting the situation to Wei Tianqi. As for Wei Ying, Wei Tianqi only knew of his existence. However, from the beginning, that fellow did not ride in the carriage with them. Instead, after walking on the mountain road, Wei Tianqi saw his figure a few times, but it was always a flash. At this time, it was unknown where he had gone.
"I'm going for a walk." Wei Tianqi felt bored. He got up and wanted to walk around. There were many students from the Peak of the Gorge who were preparing to sleep in the open. He knew almost all the Year 3 students.
"I'll accompany you." Wei Ming immediately put down the work in his hands and followed her.
"No need." Wei Tianqi hurriedly said. Wei Ming's presence always made him feel restrained, a feeling that Wei Tianqi did not like.
"It's better to be careful, Little City Lord. Although there's nothing in the mountains that can threaten you, there are some people … "Wei Ming insisted on following and reminded him.
Wei Tianqi immediately understood what Wei Ming was referring to. He looked around but did not see the four people from Zhai College. However, thinking of Wei Ming's current miserable state, Wei Tianqi did not reject Wei Ming's request in the end.
Wei Ming left with Wei Tianqi, but before he left, he glanced in a certain direction, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.
Apologize?
Wei Ming smiled slightly.
Wei Meng, who was driving the carriage, was a Penetrator of the Soul of Ming. When he met Lu Ping at the Peak of the Gorge, he used his Level 2 ability "Telepathy" to inform Wei Ming. However, Wei Ming did not intend to accept Lu Ping's apology. How could the mistake he had made to the City Lord's Residence be washed away with a single apology?
Idiot!
Wei Ming's glance in that direction was full of disdain. He was a smart person and hated idiots the most. He did not even have the interest to stop and do anything to Lu Ping. This kind of idiot was easy to deal with. It was not worth taking action against him.
After Wei Tianqi and Wei Ming left, Lu Ping appeared in the direction Wei Ming glanced at. Su Tang followed beside him. Lu Ping immediately saw the City Lord's emblem on the tent.
Wei Yang happened to poke his head out from the tent that had just been set up. When he raised his head, he saw Lu Ping. His eyes were immediately covered with deep hatred. His right hand, which was propped up on the ground, fiercely dug into the soil and crushed a nest of grass.
In the end, he did not move because he knew that there was a big gap between him and Lu Ping.
But soon …
Wei Yang stared at Lu Ping. His resentful eyes were suddenly filled with anticipation.
However, Lu Ping only took a glance at him, and then he started looking around.
"Where's Wei Ming?" Lu Ping asked.
Looking for trouble? Wei Yang thought to himself. He was quite glad that Wei Ming was not here. Otherwise, if Lu Ping was killed by Wei Ming, who would he find for revenge?
He ignored Lu Ping. Lu Ping glanced around. It was not a big place and he quickly found that Wei Ming was not there.
"Where did he go?" Lu Ping asked.
Wei Yang pointed in a random direction. He did not mind teasing Lu Ping like this.
"Thank you." Lu Ping said and walked in the direction Wei Yang pointed. Wei Yang did not expect Lu Ping to be so gullible. He only regretted that he could not smile at this moment.
Lu Ping and Su Tang left in the direction Wei Yang had pointed. They were surrounded by students of the Peak of the Canyon Academy. They all knew each other and were chatting and laughing with each other. Lu Ping and Su Tang, who were walking in the middle of the crowd, seemed a bit different. Everyone was looking at them as if they were some kind of ferocious beast.
The two of them looked around under such gazes, but they still couldn't find Wei Ming. Their stomachs were already growling.
"Let's go back first!" Su Tang said.
Lu Ping did not object. He was not in a hurry.
The two then returned to the campsite. It was the furthest away from them. Obviously, Canyon Peak Academy did not want to be too close to them.
When the two returned, they saw Siffin sitting in a wheelchair, roasting meat over a campfire.
"Where's Morin?" Su Tang asked.
Siffin was too focused to raise his head. He nodded in a certain direction.
Lu Ping and Su Tang looked over. There was also a campfire, but the people sitting around it were all from Canyon Peak Academy. Morin was also among them, chatting and laughing with a group of people. When he saw Lu Ping and Su Tang return, he called out to the people around him, picked up his straw hat, and walked back. The Peak of the Canyon Academy's students were reluctant to see Mo Lin leave. They watched him walk toward Lu Ping with a pained expression, as if he was casting pearls before swine.
"You're quite talented!" Su Tang looked at Morin in amazement.
"It's very necessary to be able to mingle with anyone, anytime, anywhere," Merlin said, then pointed at himself. "An assassin, a professional." After saying that, he raised the chicken drumstick that he had brought back from the other side and took a bite out of it.
"You guys eat. I'm almost full." Morin pointed to the roasted meat on the fire, indicating that he no longer needed it. He had eaten enough from the food and drinks he had brought back.
The three didn't stand on ceremony. They sat around the fire and divided the roasted meat into three portions.
Morin continued to eat the drumstick, his hands and mouth covered in oil. He asked casually, "Where's Wei Ming? Is he dead? "
"I don't think so?" Lu Ping said.
"Why are you so uncertain?" Morin was puzzled.
"Because I didn't see him," Lu Ping said.
"You're quite cautious." Morin exclaimed. He didn't see him, so he didn't even come to a conclusion about Wei Ming's life or death. This attitude …
"I think you have the potential to be an assassin!" Morin said.
"If you were to kill Wei Ming, how much would you charge?" Su Tang suddenly asked.
"Why are you asking this!" Morin became vigilant.
"I'm curious!" Su Tang said.
"Oh." Morin relaxed a little. He thought for a moment and said, "If you don't charge me, I'll die in front of you."
The three laughed.
"If you don't know your opponent's strength and act rashly, you might as well die!" Morin said.
"Can you see his realm?" Siffin asked Lu Ping. He couldn't see Wei Ming, but Lu Ping's strength far surpassed theirs.
In the end, Lu Ping shook his head.
"In my current condition, my perception is a little weak," Lu Ping said.
"What's your strength?" Morin asked.
"Explosive power," Lu Ping said.
Thinking of the two collapsed Towers of Souls, Morin nodded. "I believe you."
