Chapter 787 Departure
Day 1 of departure date.
Both Shrek Academy and Tang Sect teams had made preparations the night before.
As dawn broke, the Tang Clan members absorbed the purple aura that accompanied the rising sun in the east, and then enjoyed a sumptuous breakfast in the dining hall.
"Hey, where's Nanxiao?" Xu Sanshi asked, a fried dough stick dangling from his mouth, looking around for Ye Nanxiao.
The Tang Clan members were all gathered here, and all seven monsters were present, except for Ye Nanxiao, who was nowhere to be seen.
Tang Ya drank her soy milk while turning to look at Jiang Nannan, her eyes conveying a question.
"He was cultivating immortality last night and is catching up on sleep now. We can just pack him up and take him with us later." Jiang Nannan sipped her meat porridge, looking somewhat languid.
"Cultivating immortality again? What kind of soul tool has Muddy been researching lately? He didn't tell me at all!" Huo Yuhao swallowed a big mouthful of steamed buns, still feeling a little aggrieved when he brought it up.
Mud Sauce actually included him on the forbidden list of the Tang Sect's underground laboratory, alongside Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi.
I'm shivering with cold. Has our brotherhood faded away like this?
He wasn't going to steal and play with the soul tool!
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's aggrieved report, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi both burst into laughter. Finally, they weren't the only ones who were special!
Another comrade-in-arms!
He Caitou peeled an egg for Xiao Xiao and smiled at Huo Yuhao, "Junior Brother, now you and Senior Brother can be called the Three Musketeers."
Xu Sanshi smiled and reached into Huo Yuhao's plate, taking a steamed bun. "Yuhao, little Yuhao, now you're on my side! We need to work together to contribute to Nanxiao's soul tool experiment!"
"You mean sneaking in to play, right! You bastard, don't corrupt Yuhao!" Beibei threw a crumpled piece of paper at Xu Sanshi.
Hearing the laughter of the crowd, Jiang Nannan raised the bowl full of porridge in front of her and covered her blushing face.
Cultivating immortality is indeed cultivating immortality, but it's like climbing Mount Wu to cultivate immortality.
Ye Nanxiao is still fast asleep, and so is a little phoenix who is also exhausted.
"That bastard's stamina has improved a lot? I was clearly in control before, but now I can't beat him..."
Recalling the crazy scene from last night, Jiang Nannan felt her face burning even hotter.
Tang Ya noticed that Jiang Nannan's delicate ears, hidden among her beautiful hair, were getting redder and redder, and immediately understood why Ye Nanxiao couldn't get up yet.
She clapped her hands, drawing everyone's attention.
"Alright, everyone hurry up and finish your breakfast. Before we set off, we need to check our equipment and supplies one last time. Let's get moving!"
Everyone nodded, quickly finished their breakfast, and ran off to check on their assigned tasks.
Jiang Nannan packed several portions of meat buns to take back, intending to wake Ye Nanxiao up.
Jiang Nannan placed the steamed buns on a plate, pushed open the bedroom door, put the plate on the table, and then pounced on the bed.
"Aww!"
Ye Nanxiao, who was having a long talk with Zhou Gong about Dong Xuanzi, suddenly felt a heavy force fall on him.
His instinct to breathe made him reach out and push away what was blocking his face.
The familiar voice made Ye Nanxiao stop what he was doing instantly.
He knew it so well, so well that it was etched into his very soul.
The next moment, his little wife's voice rang out.
"Ah Xiao, you're so energetic this morning!"
Ye Nanxiao opened his eyes instantly and pressed down on his small hand that had slid down to his lower abdomen.
"No! I've only rested for two hours!"
Jiang Nannan glanced at Ye Nanxiao and smiled slightly. "Ah Xiao, good children don't lie!"
"It seems like there's something wrong with your body. I happen to know a little about traditional remedies. Little fox, be good and don't move around!"
The noise in the room woke Ma Xiaotao, who was fast asleep, but she drifted back to sleep.
Half an hour later, at the Tang Clan's main gate, everyone gathered.
Tang Ya's gaze swept over everyone, and apart from Ye Nanxiao, who was sleepwalking with his eyes closed, she saw burning fighting spirit in the eyes of her companions.
Their fighting spirit burns for the Tang Clan.
A sense of pride suddenly welled up in Tang Ya's heart; she had a group of wonderful friends.
"Tang Sect! Let's go!"
"oh!"
Tang Ya led the group along the road leading to Shrek Academy, heading towards the city gate.
At the entrance of Shrek Academy, Qiu'er and her team members waited quietly for the Tang Sect team to arrive.
Both teams are from Shrek City, so they can be considered teammates from the same place.
The people in the city had already received the news, and they all stopped what they were doing and rushed to the main road leading out of the city, standing quietly on both sides, casting their gazes toward Shrek Academy.
When Qiu'er and Tang Ya saw the crowds standing on both sides of the road, they slowed down.
These people came to cheer them on and see them off.
The members of both teams looked at the crowds on both sides of the avenue with some curiosity at first.
Until someone in the crowd started shouting slogans.
"Keep it up!"
"Our geniuses! Show the spirit of Shrek City!"
"Shrek will win! Tang Sect will win!"
It started as just a slogan or two, but it quickly spread among the crowd.
People put in their best effort, raising their right hands high to offer their blessings to the departing trainees.
The deafening shouts made the team members' faces turn solemn.
Qiu'er and Tang Ya exchanged a glance and turned to look behind them in tacit agreement.
Ma Xiaotao and Ye Nanxiao, who was yawning, quickly walked forward to the front of the line.
"Everyone, salute our people!" Ma Xiaotao and Ye Nanxiao exchanged a smile.
Both teams stopped, turned to face the crowds on either side of the street, raised their right hands, and performed Shrek's highest salute.
You treat me with courtesy, and I will reciprocate with sincerity.
The latest novel is first published here!
Hearing the deafening cheers, the teachers at the back of the line all smiled.
"These little guys are really popular!" Qian Duoduo patted Yan Shaozhe on the shoulder and laughed, two crystal tears welling up in her eyes.
Yan Shaozhe didn't hold Qian Duoduo's rude behavior against him at the moment. He looked with satisfaction at the students setting sail towards the rising sun. The future of the academy was bright and promising!
The Shrek Academy teachers accompanying the team were led by Deans Yan Shaozhe, Qian Duoduo, and Xian Lin'er, with Elder Song serving as the team leader in place of Elder Xuan, along with teachers such as Wang Yan.
As the two groups walked out of the city gate, the people in the city followed them for three miles.
"Kids, we're well prepared this time, and Shrek Academy will be the champion again."
Elder Xuan mingled among the crowd, raised his wine jug as if to drink alone.
"Yes, the little ones have grown up. Time really flies." Old Mu sat on the recliner, his gaze following the two teams until they were equipped with flying soul tools, took off and disappeared as small black dots.
"Elder Mu, I..." Elder Xuan lowered his head, his voice somewhat muffled.
Old Master Mu smiled slightly. "Xuanzi, you are already over a hundred years old. Why are you still acting like this? Think long-term."
"I understand, Elder Mu. I have hidden a bottle of fine wine from a hundred years ago under the second stem of the Golden Tree to welcome you back!" Elder Xuan bowed and performed a disciple's salute, remaining motionless for a long time.
Old Mu laughed twice, his voice echoing in the air, and his figure transformed into a golden light that shot into the sky.
"Then this old man will be in for a treat! Hahahaha!"
The golden light vanished into the sky, leaving behind a faint dragon's roar, before disappearing westward.
Elder Xuan bent over for a full quarter of an hour before slowly getting up. He wiped his face haphazardly, pulled a chicken leg from his robes, put it in his mouth, and, with a gourd of wine in one hand, swayed back to the academy as he always had.
However, this time, he walked very slowly.
According to Yan Shaozhe's calculations, flying was definitely not the primary means of travel for such a large group of people. A large group of people in the air would be too conspicuous and easily intercepted by the city's air defenses. Traveling by land was still necessary.
His original plan was to fly at a constant speed for three hours, then land near the border of the Heavenly Soul and travel by carriage.
Traveling by land is not as fast as flying; it would take about two or three days to reach Ming.
During the flight, the group did not encounter any other participating teams.
Three hours later, Yan Shaozhe led the group to Yaoyue City, intending to rest for a while before continuing their journey.
There is still plenty of time to report before the competition, so they don't need to rush.
Yan Shaozhe found a high-end hotel and took everyone to have a meal and rest.
He walked to the back of the group, found Ye Nanxiao lying on a cloud of ice, and reached out to lift him up.
"Get up, time to eat. We'll be running into other teams on the way, so watch your image, okay?" Yan Shaozhe said, shaking Ye Nanxiao.
"Mmm, just five more minutes of sleep. We're sleeping in the carriage anyway, what's there to be afraid of?" Ye Nanxiao mumbled sleepily.
Yan Shaozhe's forehead suddenly contorted into a crossroads as he slapped Ye Nanxiao awake.
Ye Nanxiao, carrying two bags on his head, walked to the front desk, asked some questions, and then pressed the service button.
After everyone had rested, they went outside and found several exquisite and spacious carriages already waiting there.
"Aodu Chamber of Commerce Travel Service? What is this?" Yan Shaozhe looked at the large characters on the carriage and immediately turned to look at Ye Nanxiao. Only this guy would cause trouble.
"Special services during the competition, specifically renting carriages to Mingdu for the competition, with royal passes, saving us the trouble of constantly going through procedures and issuing certificates along the way." Ye Nanxiao opened the door of the first carriage with ease and pushed Yan Shaozhe inside.
"Wow! This sofa! This lamp! This bed! A carriage with a bed!" Xu Sanshi followed suit and stepped into a carriage. Once inside, he was immediately attracted by the luxurious interior decoration.
"Male trainees, please find your own group. Female trainees, please follow Sister Tao. Get on the bus, get on the bus, go go go go!" Ye Nanxiao took out a gleaming gold VIP card and handed it to the person in charge of Aodu Travel.
"Distinguished guests, please rest assured, our Aodu Chamber of Commerce is a professional chamber of commerce that carries the glory of the Sun and Moon Emperor! Our services cover multiple fields!" The person in charge took out a large book of contracts and guarantees and placed it in front of Yan Shaozhe.
Still confused, Yan Shaozhe eventually carried Ye Nanxiao, who was preparing to take a comfortable nap, into his carriage.
