Chapter 284 The Angry Snow Goose
"Hey, our genius female instructor is here!" someone shouted, and everyone turned their attention to her.
Xueyan has been living a very comfortable life these days. Both of her teams made it into the top twenty in this new recruit assessment, which is a great achievement.
and.....
The other recruits who didn't make it weren't simply dismissed and waited for the final selection meeting; instead, they went out on missions with their original instructors.
Xueyan, now that she no longer has new recruits under her command, is free to go wherever she wants.
"Heh, you lot, how dare you speak like that?" Xueyan's tone didn't sound angry at all, but rather a genuine reprimand.
This left several of her former instructors, who usually joked around with her, somewhat bewildered.
"What's wrong, Xueyan? Who made you angry? Tell us. We can't beat a Golden Core cultivator, but if we join forces, we should be able to give a Foundation Establishment cultivator a beating."
"Get out of the way, where is Su Longshan?"
The group looked at each other, "Well, Brother Su is already at the Foundation Establishment stage, so we can't ask him."
Xueyan's expression changed, and her aura surged. She shouted loudly in all directions, "Su Longshan, come out here! I know you're here."
Several veteran warriors who had been immersed in the peak of the Qi Refining stage for more than ten years were so oppressed by her aura that they could not lift their heads. The surrounding temperature dropped rapidly, and even the light became distorted.
The old friend standing closest to him looked shocked and said, trembling, "You've advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage? So fast! At your age, you could be in a military academy..."
Before he could finish speaking, the man was sent flying backward, and a voice echoed through the air: "You dare ask a girl's age?"
Everyone was startled, including Xueyan.
She didn't slap him.
Su Longshan suddenly appeared in front of Xueyan, seemingly out of thin air, which startled everyone.
Of course, as an old friend who knew him very well, Xueyan immediately realized that he must have made further progress in his strange teleportation technique. His stick could teleport quickly between the two ends, and there must be some methods he had left behind in advance.
The man who was knocked away landed on the ground, rolled twice, got up covered in dust, and started cursing at Su Longshan.
This level of interaction is just like good buddies kicking each other when they meet, though it's not very dignified.
Su Longshan ignored him and threw out a pot of wine, which immediately silenced the other party.
He turned to face Xueyan directly, a slight smile playing on his lips, and teased her, "Oh, Sister Xueyan, your level has risen again, but it's a pity your heart hasn't grown any bigger."
"Su Longshan, I don't have time to argue with you. Do you know about the battle when the merfolk invaded from the east?" Xueyan was not polite at all. She crossed her arms and her face changed from cold to fierce.
"I know, I know, your good apprentices are doing quite well over there."
"Then why didn't you notify me?"
"Oh dear, sister, you've wronged me so much. I've been so busy these past few days, searching for the taverns and lounges you frequent, but I couldn't find you anywhere. I had no choice but to finish my mission as soon as possible. It's a pity that the fighting there only lasted two months before the merfolk withdrew, otherwise I would definitely have asked you to come with me."
Do you know where his grave is?
"Oh, I know, I know, it's alright." Su Longshan had been on tenterhooks these past few days, wishing he could throw two cultivation manuals at Xueyan's feet, almost saying, "These two cultivation manuals are a great opportunity for you, go into seclusion and don't wander around outside."
Xueyan, already weakened by the rain, had entered a period of seclusion after Zhong Ming and the others participated in the assessment. She then broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm in two months, but her combat strength was still unstable. If she found out what had happened over there…
I'm not afraid of her joining the battle; what I'm afraid of is her stubbornness and insisting on holding the cemetery to the death, fighting the merman army to the bitter end.
Look, the information from the merfolk has arrived. They are powerful merfolk, some of whom are at the Nascent Soul stage. They came prepared.
Su Longshan invited several of his brothers, either to drink with Xueyan and hold a celebration banquet for her breakthrough, or to invite her to some secluded scenic spots to find "reclusive masters" and get some rare and valuable items.
It wasn't until she came to the main square today, listening to the gossip of passersby, that she finally understood.
"Nothing's wrong? How do you know nothing's wrong? Did you go there?"
"Oh dear, who would want to mess with a tomb? Big Brother's tomb is so remote, it's hard for us to find it, let alone mermaids. They're here to rob, not to plunder."
Su Longshan is a big shot. This older sister has a really fiery temper when it comes to her older brother's affairs.
They're really going to fight.
At that moment, he was thinking, "Cuihong, Yue Kaishan, Matt, anyone, please come back and save the day!"
Whether it was a divine intervention or perfect timing, the airship docked just in time, and both teams "returned in triumph."
The airship slowly came to a stop. It was midday, and the sun was shining brightly. Suddenly, an explosion came from the exquisite buildings of the Sky Outpost. Countless colorful ribbons flew up, and large banners fell down, with bold words written in black on a red background: "Warmly celebrate our Night River Outpost's excellent results of achieving second and nineteenth place."
(Because Young Master Yan's team was confirmed missing, Matt's team dropped from twentieth place to nineteenth.)
Everyone in the square cheered. Although the nineteenth place was a disappointment, the second place was great. You know, many strongholds only had one team enter.
Everyone cheered to welcome Zhong Ming and his group.
The excitement of Zhong Ming and his companions' discussion hadn't subsided, and their faces were beaming with bright smiles when they were stunned by the scene before them as soon as they stepped off the flying boat.
Not only were the new recruits at the outpost cheering for them, but many busybodies also came to join in the fun. In no time, the entire square was almost packed with people shouting their names, making them a little embarrassed.
Xueyan glared at Su Longshan, leaving behind the words, "I'll settle the score with you later," before quickly heading towards her new recruits.
"Everyone, make way for our runner-up, please make way."
A staff member at the late stage of Qi Refining also exuded an aura, trying to force back the crowd of onlookers outside. However, his cultivation level was too low, and he was no match for the group.
Zhong Ming was facing a massive crowd. If he hadn't been so unattractive, the female cultivators around him probably would have shoved him right at him.
Even so, he still got his hands touched quite often, hoping to "share in some good luck."
Xuanjing and Matt, in particular, one looked imposing and powerful in his brand-new armor, and the other had a handsome appearance. Soon, matchmakers came up to them.
Matchmaking in the cultivation world is a highly skilled profession. Cultivators are known for keeping their secrets very well, so for them to be able to connect suitable men and women is an extraordinary feat.
Xueyan unleashed her imposing aura, barely suppressing the others who had come to join the fun.
Seven people came up behind her.
She frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Why is one missing?"
"He died in battle at Yushu City."
"understood."
Su Longshan sighed. Xueyan is someone who can be scolded or hit a couple of times without any problem. If she tells you she knows, then you'd better pray for yourself. He definitely can't stop her from causing trouble for the merfolk.
