Chapter 214 Helping Hands

“Oh, you all came back?” Su Ping felt somewhat glad that the other members in Nie Chengkong’s team had made it back safe and sound. Also, he happened to have something to ask them.

Similarly, all the others looked relieved to see Su Ping had also returned without a scratch.

“Good timing.” Ye Chenshan smiled in a friendly manner. “We just heard that the Mysterious Realm is going to be shut off ahead of schedule. We feared that you’d run into trouble if you stayed in there for longer.”

Su Ping raised an eyebrow. “Shut off?”

“Yeah. I think it’s an urgent decision or something,” answered Luo Guxue, “The entrance will be closed off in three days. I think something unpredictable happened to the dragon tower.”

Because I cleared the final floor? Su Ping thought.

This was bad news though. If whoever was administering the Mysterious Realm knew about the hidden legacy and how it could be found, they’d probably look for him. Or worse, they’d soon find out where he lived and ambush him at his home.

d.a.m.n it. Then I should head straight back to the shop instead of going home. The mark will protect me in a pinch. As long as I get inside the shop, no one will be able to hurt me…

Meanwhile, Zhou Feng’s team recognized the famous Team Polaris and felt even worse when they saw Su Ping talking to them like they were old friends.

Fu*k. Why didn’t I just give these d.a.m.ned kids more points and shoo them off?? Zhou Feng mentally complained with a wry face. That would have spared us all the trouble.

It was too late though. He had to go with the second plan, which was to find help to negotiate with Su Ping in private and hopefully erase his grudge via a sincere apology or something. He could accept the beating as long as this matter ended without further complications.

All the students had learned the names of the prominent teams before making the trip, so they already recognized the famous Team Polaris as well as an advanced teacher from their academy. They dreamed of joining a prestigious team in the future.

“Hey brother, what’s this Mysterious Realm?” Su Lingyue tugged Su Ping’s clothes.

Su Ping found it funny that his sister was acting so carefully here when she was an unruly little imp back home.

He put up the friendliest smile he could manage and looked at her.

“Not. Gonna. Tell you…”

Su Lingyue seemed to want to protest but held back.

Ye Chenshan and his friends had just realized that Su Lingyue had a sister. They silently kept her name in mind as they believed that this girl might be their ticket to get closer to Su Ping in the future.

Besides, joining barren area expeditions at such a young age only meant that Su Lingyue had great talent as well.
