Chapter 85: Leaving for the Southern Dusk Empire (6)

“Thank you, Young Master Ju.”

“You’re too polite, General Leng. This junior has heard a lot about you,” Ju Ri said quickly.

“Big Brother Ju, do you have a mission?” Leng Ruoxue saw them escorting a carriage pulled by a spirit horse.

“Yes, we just returned from Western Light,” Ju Ri explained.

“Big Brother Ju, we still have to travel tomorrow, so we’ll go back to our rooms to rest first,” Leng Ruoxue said directly after they chatted for a while and saw that everyone was almost done eating.

“Okay, I won’t bother you then.”

“Lin Yuan, stay here and wait for Feng Da. The others can go back to their rooms to rest!” Leng Ruoxue ordered.

“Yes, Miss.”

After going to her room, Leng Ruoxue was about to rest early when she heard someone knocking on the door.

“Why are you here?” Leng Ruoxue opened the door and saw the freak standing there.

“Xue’er, why did you return to your room so early?” I want to continue chatting with Xue’er!

“I’m tired, so I want to rest early,” Leng Ruoxue said.

“Then rest early!” Xue’er looks exhausted.

“Okay.” Leng Ruoxue nodded.

…

The next day, Leng Ruoxue and the others were preparing to set off just as dawn was breaking. But they unexpectedly encountered Ju Ri outside the inn.

“Ruoxue, what a coincidence! Are you going to Lunar Capital for the competition? Why don’t we go together so that we can take care of each other on the road?” Ju Ri said with a smile.

“Big Brother Ju, we’re not going to Lunar Capital for the time being, so it’s really not on the way,” Leng Ruoxue said indifferently. She wanted to take a different route. Moreover, she had already found out that the person in the carriage was a princess, and she was the most beloved princess of the emperor of the Southern Dusk Empire. She had always been indifferent to princesses. Besides, it would absolutely be a big burden on the road if there was such a pampered princess with them.

“Yes, Brother Ju. We have other things to do and won’t be going to Lunar Capital for the time being,” Feng Moran said. He knew that Xue’er didn’t want to go with them, so of course he had to cooperate with her.

“Alright. I’ll see you in Lunar Capital then,” Ju Ri said with some disappointment.

“Ruoxue, why didn’t we go with them?” Feng Aoran asked in puzzlement.

“Troublesome!”

“Let’s go the other way!” Leng Ruoxue said.

“Ruoxue, the other route is very difficult to traverse!” Elder Qiu reminded her.

“Elder Qiu, we didn’t take many easy roads along the way either!” Leng Ruoxue said. Her main goal was to let them experience the world. If they were here to enjoy life, Quill could have just flown them all the way.

…

“That mountain is called the Thousand Cry Mountain. It’s the tallest and most dangerous mountain within the borders of Southern Dusk. We have to cross the Thousand Cry Mountain for a road leading to Lunar Capital,” Leng Qingtian explained while looking at the mountain not far away.

“Is everyone ready?”

“Yes!”

“Let’s go,” Leng Ruoxue ordered.

They walked into the Thousand Cry Mountain and realized how tall and steep it was when they entered it. The mountain ridges rose and fell continuously, and what they saw from the outside was only the tip of the iceberg. Moreover, they felt so insignificant between the tall ridges.

Leng Ruoxue and the others walked for almost a day before they crossed the peak of one mountain.

“Big Brother, why don’t you stay in the Heaven and Earth Bracelet?” Leng Ruoxue whispered, afraid that her brother would be too tired.

“Xue’er, are you looking down on me? It’s just a mountain!” Leng Ruohan said with some displeasure.

“Xue’er, we have to find a place to camp.” Ye Chen looked at the sky.

“Okay, let’s camp here!” Leng Ruoxue said directly, seeing that this place was spacious and level. She knew that everyone was a little tired as well.

“Why didn’t we take an easier road? How long do we have to keep going?” A sharp female voice suddenly sounded, attracting everyone’s attention.

“Do you have a problem with this?” Leng Ruoxue’s beautiful eyes were as calm as water as she looked at Cong Min, the only other girl in the group.

“Of course I have a problem!” Cong Min said with some envy. She was a talented artificer, born to be respected by everyone. But she didn’t receive any preferential treatment at all with these people. She had been ignored all along the way, and staying on a barren mountain finally made her, who had always been proud, explode in anger.

“Do you not want to stay here anymore?” Leng Ruoxue said coldly. Other than the people from the Sacred Hall, the other three divisions each sent a representative with them. Cong Min was the representative sent by the artificer division, and she had always felt superior. She had complained a lot along the way, but Leng Ruoxue didn’t do anything for the sake of Elder Qiu. This female prodigy probably couldn’t take it anymore now.

“No one wants to stay in such a godforsaken place!” Cong Min hollered.

“Oh, is there anyone else who doesn’t want to stay here? Tell me now, and I’ll send you down the mountain,” Leng Ruoxue said indifferently. Her team didn’t need spoiled young masters and ladies.

“Cong Min, stop making a fuss. The principal said that we have to listen to Ruoxue’s arrangements on the journey,” Elder Qiu roared angrily.

“Based on what? I’m an artificer,” Cong Min said indignantly.

“What’s so great about a mere artificer like you?” Feng Da mocked disdainfully.

“That’s right. You are merely an artificer. Look at how smug you are!” Lin Yuan echoed. His young lady was also an artificer!

“Y-you!” Cong Min was so angry that her entire body was trembling. These uncouth people actually dared to humiliate a noble artificer. Hmph, I won’t let them go.

“Cong Min, shut up! Stop making a fuss!” Elder Qiu roared again. How can this Cong Min be so troublesome? She really has poor judgment. Alas!

“Elder Qiu, you don’t have to persuade me. I’ll send her down the mountain,” Leng Ruoxue said impatiently.

“Are you two going to descend the mountain with her?” Leng Ruoxue asked the two students from the alchemist and beast trainer divisions.

“No!” the two of them said in unison. Although they were also full of complaints when they first set off with Leng Ruoxue and the others, they were really convinced after getting along for the past few days. Moreover, they gradually began to worship Leng Ruoxue as an idol like the spiritualists.
