951 The Fifth Map 7 (1/2)

After ascertaining the location of the fifth map, Jun Wu Xie left Qu Ling Yue and Xiong Ba behind in the room to calm their emotions temporarily while she walked out to go into the Immortals' Loft on her own.

In the inn, Qiao Chu, Hua Yao and the others were still busying themselves as they loaded all their luggages onto the horse carriages.

Fan Jin was thanking the innkeeper for the care he had provided the lot of them for the period. Outside the Immortals' Loft, the Zephyr Academy's horse carriages were all ready to go, just awaiting their passengers before they move out.

Qiao Chu saw Jun Wu Xie descending the steps and immediately smiled as his figure shot over to her.

”We're all packed! And we are ready to embark on our return anytime. Oh right, what did that Qu Ling Yue want from you? I saw her rushing in with that huge bear earlier, looking highly anxious.” Qiao Chu held his arms out, imitating Xiong Ba's towering body size. Xiong Ba's enormous and brawny body was enough to be two of Qiao Chu.

Jun Wu Xie said: ”We are not returning to the Zephyr Academy.”

Qiao Chu who was smiling exultantly suddenly froze a moment when he suddenly heard Jun Wu Xie's words, only recovering a couple of beats later.

”What was that? Not going back? Why is that? Don't tell me….. you really want to remain here to be the Fire Country's Emperor?” As Qiao Chu said those words, he was feeling that it wasn't possible at all.

Jun Wu Xie rolled her eyes at him.

”We are going to the Thousand Beast City.”

”Thousand Beast City?” Qiao Chu scratched at his head. ”Is it because Qu Ling Yue went to look for you? What did she say to you that could make you change your mind so suddenly?”

[He seemed to remember that Little Xie and Qu Ling Yue had not been that close right?]

”Human skin map.” Jun Wu Xie said those three words curtly.

In an instant, Qiao Chu stiffened, and his eyes grew wide as he stared at Jun Wu Xie.

”What….. What….. What did you say?”
