Chapter 1880: It’s Fine
After the tavern staff’s cleanup operation through the night, the lobby looked considerably neater after last night’s ruinous aftermath from battle.
Meanwhile, their party alone took up three to four tables in the most central area of the lobby.
When Qi Xuanxuan saw Qiao Mu coming down, she quickly waved at the latter with a smile. “Qiaoqiao!”
Qiao Mu let her gaze wander when she glimpsed the group all looking at her. She sat down beside Qi Xuanxuan with a poker face before yanking Mo Lian down to sit beside her.
Every time Qiaoqiao felt that she didn’t take the best plan of action and stubbornly refused to admit it, she would purposefully put on a stoic face while letting her gaze wander.
Qi Xuanxuan chuckled in amusement and poured a cup of tea for her. “Drink some water first. We’ll set out after eating lunch.”
Qiao Mu nodded and took a gulp from the cup.
“Speaking of which, we didn’t go sightseeing along the way because we were hard-pressed to hurry to Polan Prefecture.” Ma Ta grumbled, “We definitely won’t have time to play again once we enter Mount Tai.”
“What do you mean by play.” Zhou Danjin fumed, “You guys must remember that you bear the weight of the entire academy’s glory. Be on the alert and don’t stir up trouble outside!”
Who’s stirring up trouble? The students frowned and took exception. They had behaved themselves the whole time, but it was just that trouble came knocking on their door instead!
Mentor Wei Xu looked solemnly at Miss Qiao. Everybody felt that this mentor’s gaze was simply like how he would look at a troublemaker!
Miss Qiao drank tea calmly without commenting.
“Cough.” Mentor Hu coughed to change the topic when he saw that the atmosphere was turning bad. “Xiao Qiao, we will soon be setting off for Mount Tai. Cough, then how about this young sir and his friends?”
“Hubby,” Qiao Mu called crisply.
“Wifey!”
The two of them corrected the mentor’s forms of address at the same time....
Mentor Hu twitched his mouth. “Cough, cough. Then how about your hubby’s group. What will they be doing?”
“We’ll go together.” Crown Prince Mo’s faint voice interrupted Mentor Hu’s questioning.
“No way!” Mentor Wei Xu and Zhou Danjin rejected in unison with solemn expressions.
“Aiyah, this is the first time I’ve come to sightsee in Polan Prefecture,” The Gingko Immortal giggled while covering her mouth.
“I heard that the weather and scenery in Mount Tai is rather pretty.”
Pretty my *ss!
Mentor Wei Xu and the other mentors’ eyes kept twitching as they did their best to hold themselves together.
Everyone, the zombies have already occupied that place, so what the hell was there to sightsee!
They were going there this time to participate in the academy ranking competition and advance from the preliminaries. They weren’t going to sightsee!
Mentor Wei Xu’s expression had sunk, and he stared at Qiao Mu. “What do you say.”
“It’s fine!” The little lady took a sip before looking up at the waiter that had come to set down the dishes.
Even though they were called dishes, the ingredients were paltry. It was just a plate of white mantou plus a bit of home-pickled salted veggies from who knows when…
Miss Qiao scrutinized that plate of salted veggies in distaste and silently took a mantou.
The veins bulged on Wei Xu’s temples. “What ‘It’s fine?’”
It’s fine my *ss! Make yourself clear when they ask you a question. What the hell did you mean by it’s fine!
“Qiaoqiao means that everybody can go together.” Qi Xuanxuan hastily grabbed a mantou and explained to the mentors when she saw that Mentor Wei Xu was about to erupt.
Wei Xu’s face darkened. “No way!”
Yet Qiao Mu was expressionless. “Since it’s not fine, why did you ask me?” She said that it was fine, yet he objected. What was the use of asking her then?
