Chapter Three Hundred and Forty Five – The Prison Battlefield

Nan Yue hadn’t expected to meet her schoolmates here, and silently thought this was a terrible situation. She discretely looked to Daren. Inside, she secretly prayed that this incident would not infuriate Daren! This was the second time she had met Daren and she did not know what Daren’s temper was like.

However, she had heard that many daren did not like their movements to be known.

“Student Nan Yue, this is?” A deep and calm voice suddenly sounded out by her ears.

She raised her head and felt that the situation was now even worse. This was Teacher Chi! Chi had been one of the teachers that had sought her out after the house exam and wanted to take her as a student. Chi was born from the Fire Clan and was very skilled in fire yao arts. Among the teachers of the house, his power was enough to rank him in the top five.

Seeing so many yao art once, Zuo Mo felt his vision was broadened. This group of yao were of various shapes, most of which were humanoid. There were two individuals that were very eye-catching. One of them had the body like a crisp green tree. Their numerous roots were like unusually nimble feet. They seemed to have a very lively personality, the tree branches were like soft whips that waved in the ar. The other one’s body was made from hundreds of flowers that gathered and dispersed in the air as they changed shape.

Looking like this, how was it possible to distinguish between the sexes?

This slightly profound question troubled Zuo Mo.

Chi’s fire red hair and lion-like features were not all that attention-grabbing in this group of weirdos. However, Zuo Mo noticed him at first glance because he was the strongest of this group of yao, and wasn’t just marginally stronger.

Hearing what Chi called Nan Yue, Zuo Mo instantly understood Chi’s identity.

“Sir is Nan Yue’s teacher? Sorry, sorry! I am Nan Yue’s cousin,” Zuo Mo raised his folded hands and said with a smile.

Cousin?

The group’s gazes swept between Nan Yue and Zuo Mo, and their expressions instantly became suspicious.

Daren’s skill at lying really sucked! Nan Yue felt very ashamed. From any angle, Daren showed no hint of being of the same clan as her. However, since Daren had said it, she could only force herself to say, “My distant cousin.”

Distant… the yao all had understanding expressions.

Such a terrible lie could only fool naïve students, but how could it fool an experienced old yao like Chi? However, since the other was not willing to state his origins, Chi did not have to pry.

Everyone had secrets.

“Nice to meet you.” Chi politely bowed to Zuo Mo. Zuo Mo’s consciousness was not as high as his, but it was above these students. Considering the other’s age, he clearly had great talent.

Great talent … …

Chi’s thought moved, and he pretended to unconcernedly ask, “Which house is Sir in?”

“I’m not in a yao art house.” Zuo Mo shook his head honestly.

Not in a yao art house. The yao couldn’t believe these words.

“Why not?” The tree yao waved its branches. This guy looked like an outgoing one and it quickly rushed to be the first to ask.

“I’m being taught by a teacher.”

Zuo Mo’s response instantly caused murmurs of admiration. Yao art houses were pretty good places for normal yao, but students of a teacher could receive more guidance. Chi nodded his head inside. Zuo Mo had not lied this time.

He suddenly thought of the string of little yao arts that Nan Yue had showed during the exam. Had it been this cousin of hers that had taught her? The more he thought, the more Chi found it likely. He had taught Nan Yue’s class before, and understood this student well. There was nothing to be said of Nan Yue’s dedication and work ethic, but her talent could only be considered good. The dazzling performance of her last exam really was not her style.

Chi finally realized why Nan Yue had refused his invitation. It must be that the teacher of her cousin had also chosen to take Nan Yue on as a student.

“Can I ask for the name of your teacher?” Chi asked respectfully. That glimpse of the tip of the iceberg had been enough. Those little yao arts had shocked Chi for a long time.

“Oh, he’s called Pu,” Zuo Mo’s thought moved as he said.

Pu? Chi careful searched his memory for this name but did not find anything. It didn’t seem to be a very famous yao.

Nan Yue wanted to roll her eyes when she heard it. Daren’s skill at lying wasn’t just terrible! Nan Yue thought the “Pu” that Zuo Mo spoke off was just a random answer. Which yao would be so casual with their teacher’s name?

As expected, the flower yao snorted coldly. “If you don’t want to say, don’t say. There’s no need to lie!”

The other yao had expressions of agreement.

Zuo Mo was confused but he did not argue. He took the chance to go into the sea of consciousness and mock Pu Yao. “Pu, aren’t you a Sky Yao? How come no yao knows you? You really ended up terribly!”

Pu Yao’s expression was visibly unwell.

Having gotten his face back from Pu Yao, Zuo Mo did not care for the cold snort of the flower yao.

Nan Yue secretly glanced at Zuo Mo and thought inside, Daren’s lying skill was somewhat terrible, but his face was thick enough.

Chi did not think that Zuo Mo was lying. He had met many powerful and great yao before, and knew many yao had weird personalities and did not care for these things. However, he did not plan on wasting too much time on chatter. He said with a smile, “I came today to show them the prison battlefield. It is getting lateso we will bid farewell.”

Zuo Mo hurriedly bowed with his hands. Chi took the bunch of little yao and quickly disappeared.

After they went far away, Zuo Mo turned to ask Nan Yue, “What is the prison battlefield?”

Nan Yue’s expression instantly became slightly strange. Did Daren not know the prison battlefield? She didn’t quite believe it. What yao didn’t know the prison battlefield? However, she suppressed the suspicion inside and obediently answered, “The prison battlefield is the place for real combat practice. There are many yao formations inside which can only be solved with yao arts.”

“Yao formations?” Zuo Mo’s eyes lit up. Just this phrase stirred great interest in him. Yao formation, true to the name, should be the formations that yao use. Was there any differences compared to the seal formations that xiuzhe used?

He instantly said, “Oh, take me to see.”

Nan Yue found it even stranger, but still said respectfully, “Yes!’
