116 Returning Home (2/2)

A couple of days later, they arrived near the military base stationed at the entrance of the Abandoned Lands. Getting off the dragons, they passed by and entered the teleportation gates.

Within a few seconds, they arrived on the other side and got out. As usual, there were people walking around even though they weren't going to the Abandoned Lands. A few of them looked at the two brothers before going back to their business.

They got out the front gate and greeted the guards who they hadn't seen in a few months. The guards were also happy to see them and were especially surprised when they saw Wang Tao's transformation.

”You turned into a human from a donut!” one of them even joked, causing Wang Tao's face to darken.

After a bit, they called for a cab which would take them directly to the Nine Peaks Academy.

A while later, they paid for fare and passed through the gate. A familiar scenery that they hadn't seen in awhile encompassed them as they quickly went to the dorms.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Arriving in front of their dorm, the two brothers pushed the door open. Not far away, Ye Qin noticed Su Guiying and Jia Yazhu who were clearly waiting for their return.

”It's been a while.” he greeted.

”Ye Qin! It really has been a while, welcome back.” the two of them replied.

”Thanks,” he said.

”Aren't you forgetting about someone?” Wang Tao interrupted.

”Ah? Who are you?” Jia Yazhu asked with a puzzled expression. When she looked at Wang Tao, she felt as though she had seen him before but couldn't quite remember where.

”Wang Tao?!” Su Guiying shouted.

”En? How come Su Guiying could tell it was me but you couldn't?” Wang Tao laughed.

”Ah? Are you really fatty Tao? I mean sure your eyes and those lips look the same... But how did you lose so much fat in such a short period?” Jia Yazhu asked.

”Hehe, I'll only tell Guiying since she could tell right away.” he teased.

”Hmph, fine then.” Jia Yazhu replied, clearly unhappy.

Ye Qin who was listening knew that Wang Tao obviously wouldn't tell them the entire truth and that he would add in some truth and false that sounded believable.

Shaking his head, Ye Qin told them that he would go to his room before heading off. As for Wang Tao, he stayed to talk to the girls for a while before doing the same.
