Chapter 279 Advance Party (1/2)
A few moments had passed, everyone had woken up and were briefed about their current status.
Well, the last to be woken up were the members of the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire, two of their elders woke up immediately, but for some reason, Mo Xie had given them the formation at the last minute.
Well, the two elders knew of the reason why, he didn't want to be bothered by Chu Song Min with his ridiculous ideas, Chu Song Min felt enraged, a few months ago, he was the top genius of the human race, but now, he was reduced to nothing but another luggage to carry, what's worst, nobody would even listen to his words.
The rest of those that were woken up late was also speechless, not by how late they were woken up, but by the information they received.
They couldn't help but feel shaken. As time went by, they didn't know what to do, one, two, five giant void creatures had passed them by, these sent them to complete submission without even trying, and they thought they would be better than this.
Meanwhile, Mo Xie had been busying himself with something, a few disciples from the Celestial Azure Pavilion would sometimes bring snacks for Mo Xie.
Mo Xie felt gratitude towards their 'support' and ate it happily, their timely delivering of food whenever Mo Xie became hungry is somehow mystifying but felt that is must be some sort of instinct.
The men from the Grand Martial Sect are all bursting with Yang energy, they couldn't help but feel jealous at how the women treat Mo Xie, yet, didn't have the guts to say anything, after all, as soon as they were briefed, they knew that the latter had been the first to wake up and the one that helped everybody else to.
At this moment, Bingyun came close to him, well, basically, it drew the ire of a lot of the members of the Celestial Azure Pavilion, well, not much ire, but jealousy instead, they wanted to be the person that came together with Mo Xie, they wanted to be in her shoes.
Bingyun asked: ”What are you constructing this time?”
Mo Xie smiled: ”A defensive formation, if we want to get out of here alive, we need to do it one step at a time, since this place is something we know nothing about, we should take precaution.”
Chu Song Min saw the interaction between the two, he couldn't help but ask why Bingyun, the princess of the upper continent is attached to such a pitiful individual. He was about to say something but Mo Xie cut him short.
”If you want to go out and search for some clues or get a stable foothold, go on ahead, but don't force anybody and just bring those that wanted to.” Mo Xie spoke coolly.
Chu Song Min was rendered speechless: ”H-how can you tell what's on my mind? Are you cultivating a demonic art?!”
He asked stupidly, Mo Xie replied with a sigh: ”Well, it will be something that a generally clueless person that only wants to show off would usually suggest, I guess I struck the mark perfectly.”
Chu Song Min fumed with rage, but everyone present merely laughs at him, the two elders responsible for his safety took him back to a corner and started to eat, they didn't want to the prince to further embarrassed himself.
For some reason, they viewed Mo Xie as an expert, an expert at verbal sparring.
Bingyun again asked after some time: ”What's troubling you?”
Mo Xie smiled wryly: ”I need more spirit stones to trigger a much stronger formation, with the amount I have, it's basically impossible.”
Bingyun tilts her head: ”What? Really? Even the spirit stones I had is not enough?”
Mo Xie hearing this remembered the ring Bingyun gave earlier: ”Oh, right!”
As he spoke, he took out the ring Bingyun gave him.
”Hmmp, I'd say he wanted to keep it for himself.” Chu Song Min's voice sounded.
But then, nobody believed him instead, they waited for Mo Xie's reply, but out of nowhere, Bingyun is the one that did: ”Whether he takes it or not, it's something I've given to him, he can do whatever he wants with it.”
Chu Song Ming felt embarrassed again, he shuts his mouth and continued to eat, everyone sneered at the futile remarks from the prince, he wanted to impress Bingyun, all of them knew of it, yet, he had done quite the opposite.
As Mo Xie scanned he couldn't believe what he saw: ”This…”
”What?” Bingyun asked with opened eyes.
Mo Xie returned the ring not knowing what to say, Bingyun frowns, she took it and scanned, her eyes opened widely, her face started to go red before returning the ring in her pocket, she then took out another ring and scanned it before giving it to Mo Xie: ”This is the one, I promise.”
Mo Xie nods his head: ”Okay…”
The first ring contained… well, her qipaos, assorted different colors at that. Bingyun felt extreme embarrassment and decided to linger no further and walked towards near the exit of the cave.
