Chapter 1632: Are You Ready?

Qiao Mu pondered Qi Xuanxuan’s question seriously, and after some thought, she tilted her head. “Actually, I was the one who made those pills we sold last time. My pill alchemist teacher has already passed away.”
Qi Xuanxuan’s petite mouth dropped open into an “O!”
By the time the two returned to the standby area hand in hand, basically everyone had already finished their preparations and gathered in front of the summit.
The little fatty let out a sigh of relief when he saw the two girls returning. He hastily ran up and carefully examined Qiao Mu.
Seeing that she was uninjured save for her slightly red eyes, he finally exhaled and started rambling, “You gave me a scare. Where did you two run off to? They’re setting off in five minutes. That old stoic face said that if you two still don’t come back after five minutes, then our team will be considered to have forfeited! He said that we had voluntarily quit the entrance exam, that son of a duck!”
However, the little stoic and Qi Xuanxuan simultaneously swiveled their heads to shoot mortal daggers at the little fatty when they heard him say “old stoic face.”
The little fatty reacted just before his fatal demise that he seemed to have used the wrong wording.
He immediately covered up his gaffe with an awkward cough. “Ugh, cough, cough. I, uhm. It’s great that you’re back. Since our team has assembled, how about we get to know each other!”
While the little fatty and Qi Xuanxuan were caught up talking to Qiao Mu, Duanmu Qing could feel that his gaze kept wandering uncontrollably to that chilly little stoic face.
It was as if that little stoic face was a magnet that deeply attracted his attention.
Duanmu Qing subconsciously clutched at his chest as he felt his heartbeat quicken.
He moved his lips with an urge to go up and talk to the little stoic, but he suddenly realized that the little stoic’s gaze had never landed on him from beginning to end.
“Hello everybody, I am Ma Ta.” Ma Ta jumped out first and waved his hand at everyone.
The little fatty and Qi Xuanxuan both stuck their fists out at him at the same time.
Ma Ta quickly raised his hands and grinned mischievously, “Don’t hit, don’t hit! If I didn’t notify Senior Brother Duanmu at the last minute to help us, you guys would’ve been kicked out from the academy because of your failure to form a team!”
Qi Xuanxuan was surprised. So it was this guy who had sought out a helper.
She sized up Ma Ta before saying with a harrumph, “You have a bit of conscience, I’ll give you that.”
“Hehehe.” Ma Ta clasped his hands together and cupped them toward Qi Xuanxuan. “Take it as my apology gift to you!”
“My name is…”
Yet Qi Xuanxuan’s words were interrupted by Mentor Wei Xu all of a sudden.
“Are you all ready?” Wei Xu came out from a stone cottage. “I will remind you once again to prepare sufficient waterskins. Otherwise, you will regret it once you get to the deepest part of the Lava Mountain Range!”
Everyone looked at each other, and many of the teams hurriedly ran toward the academy’s water fountain to stock up on water to prepare for unforeseen circumstances.
Qi Xuanxuan couldn’t help but be a bit worried as she turned to ask Qiao Mu, “What should we do? We haven’t prepared any waterskins?”
“You don’t need to worry.” Both Qiao Mu and the little fatty spoke in unison.
Qiao Mu knew very well that she didn’t need to use any mystic conscious to store or retrieve items from her Paradise Planet. Paradise Planet was stocked full with food and water, with all that one could ever want.
As for mystic beasts, that was even more laughable.
All her beasts roamed around on Paradise Planet, completely unlike other people who needed to open the mystic beast space with their mystic conscious in order to let them out.
