Chapter 2021: Tea Garden (1/2)
Many students gathered along the rolling hills, waiting for the tea garden to open since trespa.s.sing was impossible. Of course, where they were standing was only the entrance, not the garden itself.
“Rumble!” With loud explosions, two wooden paths appeared in the sky along with an engulfing mist covering the entire mountain range. Everything disappeared in the blink of an eye.
All the students quickly jumped on the paths and rode the wind just like immortals.
“The garden is opening!” They excitedly shouted, eager to start.
“Boom!” Peaks suddenly landed from above but they were relatively tiny, more like huge boulders.
“Fellow Students, get ready to enter. Fortunes or not depend on yourself, don’t force it if it isn’t meant to be.” An old man appeared among the mist - a teacher from the academy.
“Yes!” The students quickly picked a peak and jumped on top. In a short time, each peak had students above, usually in groups of three or five. They chose to go together because of strength in number, increasing their chance of success.
Even geniuses from Emperor Mansion and Sacred Inst.i.tution got here now, such as Six-sword and Rumination.
These two leaders took two biggest peaks with many followers from their respective cla.s.srooms.
Rumination had many powerful geniuses with him; this was quite a formidable force. Though students from Hundred Halls were no match in comparison, they had the number advantage.
Because of this, the rest of the crowd stay far away from Rumination and Six-sword. They understood that the resources and benefits of this tea party will be taken by these two first. Others wouldn’t want to compete against them.
Strange enough, Miao Chan was all alone on a small peak in a conspicuous corner. The mist nearly hid her completely.
“Sister, how about coming with us?” Six-sword quickly asked after seeing her.
In fact, he has been looking for her the entire time so he didn’t waste any time.
“Thank you, Senior.” She shook her head and said: “I’m only here for a look, not to search for fortunes, so I do not wish to disturb your plan.”
She understood him too well so she refused. He came from a prestigious clan with an eleven-totem High G.o.d so his nature was one of arrogance since youth. Someone like this would clearly oppose Li Qiye later - a suicidal path.
The young king was naturally unhappy to hear the refusal. It took quite a lot of effort for him to invite her to the tea party in the first place so he didn’t expect her to back off right now.
The first thing that came on his mind was Li Qiye. He must have told her something or she wouldn’t have abandoned the initial plan. Thus, he turned his gaze towards Li Qiye.
Li Qiye and his group of five were standing on another small peak. The king was even more annoyed to see him surrounded by beauties.
He had a hundred reasons to hate Li Qiye right now. Alas, there was nothing he could do since the guy was a teacher.
Rumination G.o.dchild was also annoyed due to Li Qiye and Mei Suyao’s intimacy. He also wanted to report to the academy that this guy wasn’t acting like a teacher at all. It was unsightly and improper for one to be so close with his students. It would be a big offense for a teacher to be seducing his students.
“Alright, Young Friends, begin.” However, the old teacher interrupted his train of thoughts and declared.
“Boom!” All the peaks started flying forward just like s.h.i.+ps. The students stood on top and let the peaks take them wherever.
