Chapter 107: Leaving the Academy

“Brother Yuan…” Shen Xu urged but continued without waiting for an answer.

“Was it the Shi family?” He asked.

“It was not the Shi family.”

“Not the Shi family…. Did the enemy want your talismans or my robes?”

“Neither.” Zhen Yuan said and quickly continued.

“It was the Xiao family.”

“Xiao family?” Shen Xu couldn’t help but be shocked.

“Why the Xiao family? Has Xiao Weimin gone crazy?”

“Those people didn’t know anything.” Zhen Yuan helplessly shrugged.

“I later looked for Xiao Weimin but he had already left the academy.”

When he heard this, Shen Xu frowned but there was nothing he could do for the time being.

“When did Xiao Weimin leave the academy?” Shen Xu asked.

“Right after the assessment.”

Hearing this, Shen Xu reflexively stood up.

“Not good.” He exclaimed but Zhen Yuan held his hand to soothe his emotions.

“Don’t panic.” He said and soon continued.

“Even if he is one step ahead of us, the red-veined loquats won’t mature for another month at least. We still have time to catch up with him.”

“You are right.” Shen Xu said but didn’t sit down.

“Let’s leave the space first.” He said but Zhen Yuan didn’t agree.

“Eat first. We will get to everything else after eating.” He said.

When he heard that, Shen Xu forcibly suppressed his unease and accompanied Zhen Yuan to eat.

“Brother Yuan, how were the books on the fifth floor of the academy library?” He asked.

“They were informative but not comparable to the books in the space library.”

“Did you read them all?”

“It took one month. After that, I stayed in the space library but occasionally went out to spar with Chen Yi.”

“Did he hurt you?” Shen Xu anxiously looked at the person.

“Don’t worry.” Zhen Yuan smiled.

“I benefited a lot.”

“I will teach him a lesson when I become stronger.” Shen Xu muttered and Zhen Yuan couldn’t help but laugh.

After eating, the two left the space.

When they appeared in their academy room, Yang Shi immediately slithered to his master.

“Master.” The little snake cried in an aggrieved voice.

“Don’t cry.” Shen Xu said and quickly continued.

“We will soon leave the academy. When we do, you won’t need to guard the room and can run around to wherever you want.”

“Can I have two million spirit stones?” Yang Shi pushed his luck.

However, Shen Xu was in a good mood and readily gave the space spirit stones.

After receiving the spirit stones, Yang Shi couldn’t help but feel a little regretful.

’I would have asked for more if I knew it would be so easy.’ He thought.

“Brother Yuan, I will message Song Wancheng and Lin Xiang.” Shen Xu informed and Zhen Yuan nodded.

However, half a day after messaging the two, Shen Xu had yet to receive a reply.

Looking at his communication jade, the double couldn’t help but frown.

“Didn’t we agree to leave in two months? Why aren’t they replying?”

“Maybe they are still in retreat.” Zhen Yuan speculated.

“What should we do? We don’t have a lot of time to wait for them.”

“We need to make some arrangements before we leave. If we still can’t reach them at that time, we will ask them to meet us outside.”

“That’s the only way.” Shen Xu nodded.

One day later, Shen Xu still couldn’t reach Song Wancheng or Lin Xiang.

After thinking about it, he and Zhen Yuan decided to leave first.

“Brother Yuan, let’s go find the dean.” Shen Xu said but Zhen Yuan shook his head.

“No need.” He said.

“Don’t we need permission to leave the academy?”

“I have arranged a teleportation formation in our room. We enter and leave the academy whenever we want.”

Hearing this, Shen Xu couldn’t help but be pleasantly surprised.

“Where is the other end of the formation?”

“A small cave in the Sunrise Forest.” Zhen Yuan said and then continued.

“When get there, we will change our clothes and disguise our appearance. After that, we will ride a demon horse to Dragon City.”

“Why do we need to go to Dragon City?”

“Don’t you have surplus pills? We can sell them before we head to Ping’an town.”

The schedule went as planned.

After leaving the academy through the teleportation formation, the two arrived in the Sunrise Forest.

Soon after, two unfamiliar people exited a small cave and rode a demon horse to Dragon City.

Having dealt with the two for a long time, Manager Zhang was not surprised when he saw the two unfamiliar people.

Without wasting time, a deal was struck and Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan left Dragon City.

This time, the two didn’t join a caravan.

Instead, they travelled alone and fifteen days later, they arrived in Ping’an town.

Zhen Yuan originally wanted to rest in Ping’an town before heading to Black Turtle Mountain.

However, Shen Xu was worried about the main protagonist and didn’t want to waste time in Ping’an town.

As a result, the two rode past the town and headed straight to Black Turtle Mountain.

“I heard the mountain is shaped like a turtle.” Shen Xu said to ease his tension.

“It’s not.” Zhen Yuan refuted.

“It’s not? If it’s not, why is it called the Black Turtle Mountain?”

“Legend has it that a descendant of the Black Tortoise used to live on the mountain.”

“Can descendants of the Black Tortoise be found in the Canglan continent?” Shen Xu didn’t believe it.

After all, the Black Tortoise was one of the four divine beasts.

Even in the book, the descendants were rare in the immortal world, let alone the cultivation world.

“I also think so.” Zhen Yuan said.

Excluding the red-veined loquat tree, the Black Turtle Mountain was an unremarkable mountain.

Considering that, it was unlikely that a descendant of the Black Tortoise used to live there.

Time passed in the blink of an eye.

Before they knew it, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu arrived at the foot of Black Turtle Mountain.

“Brother Yuan, can you use your spiritual sense to check if Xiao Weimin has already arrived?” Shen Xu asked and Zhen Yuan nodded.
