976 Soon After Getting Rid Of..
“Did you just go to the Alchemist Guild?” Han Miao Shuang asked.
“Pill Subdivision. But those of the guild were also there.” Wei Zheng said.
“What did they do to anger you all?” Sima You Yue asked.
“Those idiots want us to head out of the city tomorrow.” Mao San Quan said, “They didn’t give us a clear reason, just that they want us to go. It is really abominable!”
“Is it dangerous outside?”
“None of the people who went out those two times have returned. Would you say that’s dangerous or not?” Mao San Quan sneered.
“But wasn’t there news that everyone in the recent group who went out, all came back safely?” Su Xiao Xiao remembered what he heard when he first came and said in surprise.
“That’s just to stabilize the hearts of the people in the city.” Mao San Quan said, “If you let them know that the situation has become so serious now, I don’t know what will happen.
“That was fake news?!” Han Miao Shuang and the rest now realized the seriousness of the matter. If they had reached this point, it meant that the current situation was very severe.
Under such a situation, to ask the college, who neither knew the head or tail of the matter, to leave the city to investigate, wasn’t that sending them to their deaths?!
“Instructor Mao, have you ever dug up someone’s ancestral grave before?” Little Seven asked.
“What ancestral grave?”
“If you haven’t dug someone’s ancestral tomb, why would they target the college like this?”
“Huh! Those people are not right in their minds, they are so arrogant. Just because we don’t kowtow them, that’s why they’ve targeted us! ” Mao San Quan said disdainfully.
“This Pill Subdivision is not anything better, how can you all still stay here?” Sima You Yue puzzled.
“The Pill Subdivision is not always like this, their leader is still alright. However, during this period, he and the chairman of the guild are not present, hence those rascals were successful.” Wei Zheng explained.
“The chairman and leader are not here at this time?”
“Not only are they not here, but their fates are pointing towards disaster.” Mao San Quan said, his eyes worried.
“How come?”
Mao San Quan sighed and said, “They went out to check the situation previously. They have not come back and no one could contact them. Those people with knowledge of the situation think that they have been killed. Some others who have ulterior motives have already started moving.”
“That’s why those of you who are on the side of the president and his allies have become the thorns in their flesh, and it’s better for them to get rid of you quickly.” Sima You Yue said.
Mao San Quan glanced at her and nodded.
“It’s no wonder those people want us to go out and investigate.” Sima You Yue said, “This is the best way to get rid of you.”
“I’ve investigated and investigated. Those old immortals still want to kill us?” Han Miao Shuang cursed verbally, attracting Mao San Quan and Wei Zheng’s sidelong glances.
The look said plainly and unabashedly: You’re a girl, be more gentle and demure.
“Then shall we go out tomorrow?” Su Xiao Xiao asked.
“Go, if we don’t go, we will be removed from the Alchemist Guild and Pill Subdivision.” Mao San Quan said, “This will be more in line with those people’s wishes. But I can go with a few teachers, you all just wait here for us to come back. ”
“We will go too.” Han Miao Shuang said. “Although our strength is not very strong, we have learnt many uncommon things with our Master. Since they couldn’t find the reason there, it may be because it’s too barren, and most people won’t know. If we went along, it may prove useful.”
Thinking of Xu Jin’s sometimes strange manner of creating things, Mao San Quan agreed, “Then it’s better this way. Go ahead and prepare, and we will set out tomorrow morning. Don’t tell other students, lest they get confused.”
“Alright.”
“You all have a good rest, we will head back first.” Mao San Quan got up to leave. “The three of you have life-saving skills. Be careful tomorrow. It might get too chaotic and we won’t necessarily be able to protect you.”
“We understand.”
Mao San Quan and the others left, likewise, Han Miao Shuang and Su Xiao Xiao also went back. After that, Sima You Yue pondered for a bit and called upon some Scarlet Bees and sent them out.
“Don’t let me see those old farts, or else… hmph!”
Little Seven had originally wanted to say that they better had not let her see them, otherwise she would trash them. But when she saw Sima You Yue looking at her, she swallowed down all the words she had wanted to say.
There was a bad impression of the Alchemist Guild. One Luo Ming and one Vice President who were forcing them to undertake such a risk, the entire guild is nothing good!
“The bees are all out. If there is really something between the Alchemist Guild and the Pill Subdivision, we will be able to understand the situation as it happens.” Sima You Yue said.
After thinking about it, she sent out some Scarlet Bees and instructed them to go out of the city to check on the situation.
Those people were reluctant to tell them any information, and had asked them to go out to investigate, thus, they could only check on the situation themselves first.
Early next morning, Mao San Quan took them to the gates of the city. It was thought that just the few of them would be heading out of the city, but unexpectedly, there were many people waiting by the time their group reached the city gates.
They are the ones who would be joining this excursion.
A man with a downward sloping moustache saw Mao San Quan, and immediately made a face as he said, “Why are you so late?! Can’t you see that everyone else has arrived? What’s the meaning of this? Do you not want to go? Or simply trying to drag everyone down?”
Mao San Quan glanced at him lightly and said, “We arrived at the time specified yesterday, in fact, it is still ten minutes away from the agreed time. What are you blindly cussing about?”
“Pfftt!” Sima You Yue and Han Miao Shuang could not help but laugh when they saw Mao San Quan like this.
“What are you laughing about! Let’s see if you can still laugh when you come back!” The man with the downward sloping moustache groused angrily as he saw Sima You Yue and the rest laughing at him.
“Don’t worry, I will definitely come back with a smile!” Han Miao Shuang said with a smile, “I just don’t know if you are able to see it.”
“Hmph, such a sharp tongue for a young thing!” The moustache man exclaimed. He gave Heavenly Sect another strike in his heart, as he schemed to send those from Heavenly Sect to the most dangerous area once they had reached their destination. “Since everyone is here, let’s go.”
They got on the backs of the awaiting flying beasts. These flying beasts were the most inferior in the guildf as they were slow and low in strength. It seemed like there were other people there who were just like them, having no choice but to tag along for the ride!
The flying beasts carried them flying for nearly a day and arrived at the peak of a mountain.
“After crossing these mountains, we will arrive at the area.” The moustache man said, “You all have just arrived over the last few days and are unfamiliar with the place. Let me give you a brief description.”
“Forget it! What you have said in nonsense, might as well not speak at all.” Mao San Quan retorted, “It is better to explore by ourselves!”
“Since you’ve said it, then go by yourselves. I won’t bother with you any longer! I hope you’ll be able to come back alive.” The moustache man finished his grumbling and headed back to the guild with the flying beasts.
