Chapter 1649: Chapter 1650: Return Journey
Although many people realized that it was actually Feng Yuan leading his Beastmaster battle, due to Feng Yuan’s intentional retreat, the battle scenes looked as if he and his beast were cooperating seamlessly. However, under the obstruction of the Jingming Divine Monkey, the judges did not point it out.
Seeing the satisfied look on Xiao Ji’s face, Feng Yuan affectionately patted it. When it was ti for the awards, those who were unaware of the truth marveled at the unexpected ergence of a Beastmaster who cooperated so well with his spirit beast, while those who guessed the true situation speculated on the identity of the person, as ordinary people couldn’t achieve such a feat.
After all, although the new student challenge was just a small event organized by Yufeng Academy, participants still had to go through the scrutiny of Yufeng Academy and Yufeng City. Non-new students weren’t allowed to participate, yet among the new students, was there really soone this powerful?
However, since it wasn’t as if there were no students from Feng Yuan’s academy participating, they might not have recognized him at first, but now, who wouldn’t know it was Feng Yuan? Even if they didn’t know what Feng Yuan looked like, they knew what his spirit beasts were, especially since the competition only included people from a few nearby cities.
New students with the skills of soone like Feng Yuan were incredibly rare. With a bit of thought, it was clear that it had to be Feng Yuan who had no escape from it.
Looking at Feng Yuan on the podium in his martial robe, many girls were intrigued. Although Feng Yuan’s appearance was ordinary, he had a unique aura, especially in a martial robe. But recalling the rumors about him, many were disappointed. This guy was not easy to win over.
Feng Yuan naturally hadn’t expected to attract so much attention on this trip. After receiving the award, they only had a chance to chat briefly with the Jingming Divine Monkey before rushing to catch the high-speed train. Considering many students would be leaving Yufeng City that night, Yufeng City coordinated to have high-speed trains depart every ten minutes. Although a train passed through Maomu City every hour, Feng Yuan and his group didn’t want to return too late.
After seeing Feng Yuan off, the leadership of Yufeng Academy relaxed a little. At least, he hadn’t run off with the Jingming Divine Monkey. As for him coming here to snatch the first place? They didn’t mind that since the event aid to let Yufeng Academy’s new students experience intense battles.
On the way back, the crowd at the high-speed train station surprised everyone. They didn’t expect so many people to be there. Scratching his head, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but ask,
“Should we use the special passage?”
“No need, although the line is long, we should still have enough ti.”
Dou Yanlan shook her head and said, anticipating the situation. She had urged everyone to leave earlier, and the results did not surprise her. Although many people were waiting, it was still early enough that they wouldn’t miss their train.
The little Fla Wolf peeked out from the backpack on Feng Yuan’s chest, curiously observing the crowd, while Xiao Ji transford into an Eggshell Chicken and perched on Feng Yuan’s head. Originally, the Fla Wolf was nestled in the backpack on Feng Yuan’s back, but due to the crowd, Feng Yuan moved it to the front to prevent any accidents.
Perhaps because the battle today had satisfied Xiao Ji, it wasn’t too hostile towards the Fla Wolf. Agunas noticed the crowd and exclaid,
“Didn’t notice on the field, but there are actually that many competing students.”
“That’s not surprising, but with so many people, sending everyone back won’t be easy.”
Feng Yuan, with a quirky smile, looked at the crowd. Despite not being familiar with the workers here, seeing the scene, he had already guessed what would happen. Sending so many people off at once, even just to nearby cities, wasn’t a small task.
Yet, judging by their practiced manner, it wasn’t their first ti handling such situations.
Finally boarding the high-speed train, Feng Yuan yawned and said,
“Finally on the train. By the way, where’s the dinner the Jingming Divine Monkey sent?”
The Jingming Divine Monkey anticipated they’d be rushing and had prepared food for them in advance. However, it wasn’t appropriate for them to eat while in line, so now settled on the train, Feng Yuan planned to eat sothing. Although Yufeng City and Maomu City weren’t far apart, the train ride still took two hours.
Agunas took out the dinner prepared by the Jingming Divine Monkey. Feng Yuan found Xiao Ji’s portion and placed it in front of it, saying,
“Here’s your dinner. I’m not sure what the Jingming Divine Monkey prepared for you, but if you really don’t like it, just have a little to fill your stomach, and I’ll make sothing for you when we get back.”
Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Xiao Ji rolled its eyes in exasperation and looked at him silently. Agunas cleared his throat and said helplessly,
“Do you think Xiao Ji hasn’t had those Spirit Beast Foods? Or do you cook for it personally all the ti?”
Even though Feng Yuan occasionally cooked for Xiao Ji, most of the ti, Xiao Ji, like Feng Yuan, would either eat cafeteria food or what Big Cat prepared.
Indeed, Big Cat’s culinary skills had recently improved significantly due to frequently helping with food preparation. It seed to enjoy it, so whenever it had free ti, it cooked for everyone.
Scratching his head, Feng Yuan chuckled awkwardly as he glanced at Xiao Ji. Xiao Ji turned its head, letting out a chirp, not wanting to dwell on the issue, as it was already accustod to Feng Yuan’s unreliability and wasn’t going to get annoyed over it.
The little Fla Wolf looked up, eyeing Feng Yuan with a pitiful howl. Feng Yuan amusingly pressed its left ear gently and said,
“Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about you.”
Shaking his head, Agunas looked at Veronia with suspicion. Veronia understood and used herself as an anchor point to activate the Mirror Space. Watching the space expand, Feng Yuan scratched his head awkwardly, saying,
“Will this trouble you?”
“It’s fine. Just finish early.”
Taking the dinner from Agunas, Veronia shifted into her human form and elegantly set up a small table to savor her al. Agunas, uninterested in Veronia’s actions, hugged his food and sat aside to enjoy it slowly after distributing the dinner prepared by the Jingming Divine Monkey.
“Phew, I’m full. This food is really good. I wonder if I can find the recipes, or maybe…”
With a twinkle in his eyes, Feng Yuan seed keen to bother the Jingming Divine Monkey. But just then, he discovered a small booklet attached to the bottom of the al box, perhaps fixed there to prevent it from falling out by accident. Taking a look, Feng Yuan stroked his chin and said,
“They actually prepared the recipes in advance~”
“It’s quite astute.”
Veronia remarked in surprise, glancing at the recipe in Feng Yuan’s hand. She hadn’t expected that the Jingming Divine Monkey would anticipate Feng Yuan’s interest in the recipes and preemptively handle it to avoid the nuisance.
“Hehe~ It ans it knows well~”
With a flick of its tail, Agunas frowned slightly, uncertain whether the Jingming Divine Monkey had predicted this, or if not…
At this mont, Veronia retracted the Mirror Space, and the surroundings beca noisy again. Seeing the group reappear, the summoned train guards finally breathed a sigh of relief. When Veronia initiated the Mirror Space, their seats were enveloped with special energy, alerting the guards on the train. However, due to their lack of confidence in dealing with the Mirror Space, they refrained from forceful intervention.
“Sorry for the misunderstanding.”
Dou Yanlan quickly apologized to the guards upon seeing them, while Agunas suspiciously looked at Veronia and asked,
“Didn’t you create a projection?”
“Do you think this high-speed train lacks defensive asures? Just one space anchor isn’t much, but if I added a Mirror Projection, it might trigger the Special Duty Team and other security departnts to show up~”
“That… seems true too.”
With a flick of its tail, Agunas had to agree that Veronia was right. If it was just a space anchor, it wouldn’t cause much of a stir, as it wasn’t officially prohibited. But if the space anchor’s signs were hidden, it could lead to suspicions of preparing for sothing dangerous, which indeed could cause big trouble.
However, before the guards could leave, the high-speed train suddenly stopped. Veronia and Agunas exchanged a glance and exclaid in surprise,
“No way?!”
