After Ruo Yanxing finished instructing the students, he waved his hand, indicating that they could scram and not disturb his drinking session.
Lin Xuan and the others did not mind. Instead, they started to discuss where to go and what to see. Who knows, there might really be an opportunity… what if!
“Qin Fen, why don’t we go to Mount Tai to play?”
Lin Xuan suggested to go today. The National High School League’s opening date was in three days. Once the match started, the second-year high school team members would not have time to go out and play.
“Sure, but the sunrise is more beautiful on Mount Tai. Why don’t we go up the mountain at night to sunrise in the morning?”
Lin Xuan nodded repeatedly. He originally wanted to go up the mountain and stay overnight, but considering the fact that his teammates were women, it wasn’t appropriate to suggest it.
The two captains agreed. How could the two sisters, Yang Cheng and Su Tian, refuse? They naturally nodded in agreement. At this time, the other members of the second-year high school team also squeezed in, “Bring us along. The more the merrier!”
Qin Fen glanced at Lin Xuan. Seeing that he had no objections, he naturally agreed. The other members also proposed to go up the mountain together.
“Okay, then let’s go up the mountain tonight!”
Qin Fen’s words set the tone. Then, he turned his head to look at the teacher, “Teacher, do you want to go together?”
Ruo Yanxing waved his hand. “I won’t go. I’ve seen it countless times. I’m tired of it. You guys can go by yourselves.”
“Okay!”Qin Fen didn’t insist. Ruo Yanxing could be considered their bodyguard, but he was only limited to outside of the city. Within the city, especially in the Western Capital where the Bright Phoenix was stationed, as long as he was still alive, it would be difficult for him to die even if he wanted to.
The Bright Phoenix wasn’t just a powerful guardian. She was also a combat job holder who possessed the title of Overlord, as well as an auxiliary master of the title of All Saints!
She was incomparably powerful. She was ranked third in Taixia Country and fifth in the world in terms of power!
As night fell, the night in the Western Capital was slightly quieter than in the Imperial City. Ordinary people also knew the name of the Ghost City of the Western Capital. They would try their best to stay indoors at night and rarely wander outside, even if they were playing, they would still go home before 12 at night.
The noisy ones were mostly those with abilities. They knew the origin of the name Ghost City, and they knew that there were many spirits surrounding the Western Capital, although they did not know why the fog recorded in the textbooks was so different from the real world, it did not matter. After so many years, nothing bad ever happened to them, so they were relieved.
Lin Xuan and the others had dinner and rested for a while. The field survival equipment they had bought in the past could now be considered useful, so they did not need to specifically buy anything. They directly set off to climb Mount Tai!
After leaving the manor, they turned left and walked straight. They passed by many guilds, and along the way, they met quite a number of ability users. Some people saw the Di Yi school uniform on their bodies and raised their eyebrows. Although they did not say anything, there was still an inexplicable look in their eyes.
When going out, the school uniform was definitely a great deterrent. Many ability users in society would definitely not dare to come up and provoke them when they saw it. Firstly, it was because they can’t afford to provoke the school, and the other was because they can’t afford to provoke the chosen students who were walking around outside.
Those who had an inexplicable look in their eyes were probably other high school students. They might not be students from the west, but no matter what, they were considered the powerhouses in the west. Usually, there were some conflicts of interest, however, when it came to the National High School League, the west’s high schools would basically be united against the outside world.
Ignoring them, they walked all the way until they finally reached Mount Tai’s foot. The place was brightly lit, and many businessmen set up stalls here, selling some camping items that were necessary for mountaineering.
They were not the only team that wanted to climb tonight. On the contrary, there were many teams. Some of them were local mountaineering teams from the west. They would come to Mount Tai every once in a while. Firstly, it was to train their bodies, secondly, it was for the occasional flame of Mount Tai.
In addition to the local climbing teams from the Western Capital, there were also high school teams from other regions like Lin Xuan and the others who came to participate in the competition. There were also commoners and ability users who came to the Western Capital for tourism!
“Mount Tai at nigh is quite famous in Taixia Country!
“Qin Fen, long time no see!”
Two teenagers walked towards them in a respectable manner. One of them held a sword in his hand and had half-opened eyes, which seemed to be bursting out with star-like sword intent. The other one was faintly discernible. The night was his home ground, he could enter the darkness and disappear at any time.
“Hey, it’s really been a long time.” Qin Fen greeted the two of them, then he introduced them to Lin Xuan and the others. “These are the two captains from Demon Two, Captain Zhao Lingyin of Dragon and Tiger. He’s good at swords. Captain Xin Delan of the Wind and Cloud. His darkness-type spells are at the pinnacle of perfection!”
“No, no, no. I can’t be compared to Quan Tianyi. He’s basically invincible!” Xin Delan then introduced him to the team members behind him. “This is Captain Qin Fen, the captain of Di Yi’s Emperor One. His fist arts are at the epitome of perfection.”
Zhao Lingyin held the sword in her arms. Her half-opened eyes seemed to be drowsy. She fell into a half-asleep state. Suddenly, the sword intent moved. It was as if an expert’s gaze came into contact with her. She suddenly opened her eyes and happened to meet Lin Xuan’s.
“Hey, how are you? I’m Lin Xuan!”
“Lin Xuan? That sounds familiar!” Zhao Lingyin repeated it a few times. She still didn’t recall that there was an expert called Lin Xuan in this year’s National High School League.
“I’m Lin Xuan, the Vice-captain of Di Yi!”
After hearing Lin Xuan’s introduction, Xin Delan instantly remembered that the intelligence analyst of someone from Demon Two mentioned that Lin Xuan had taken the title of the Vice-captain of Di Yi’s school team not long after the preliminary competition.
It was another concurrent term!
It seemed that the National High School League would be very splendid next year.
Each head captain of the top nine major school teams in Taixia Country were complicated figures. Among the top nine major school teams, the head captain was at the top of the chain. After that, they would be the common team leaders.
Unfortunately, Li Rui didn’t come here this time.
Xin Delan smiled at Lin Xuan in a friendly way as he invited Di Yi and the others to climb the mountain.
It was always filled with people. Additionally, they would probe about each other’s preparation and realm progress.
Mount Tai was not too steep. Even if they didn’t use their strength or their cultivation methods, their basic physical fitness was pretty good. They would stop and chat with each other, it was pretty easy to climb to the top of Mount Tai.
After setting up the tent and a bonfire. They started to roast some meat. Then, they sat on the edge of the cliff and looked at the horizon.
The sun was rising in the East, the golden clouds and the milky way had not completely faded away. There was still a crescent moon hanging in the sky. The moment the yellow sun rose above the horizon, the moon faded away, what replaced it was a golden glow that gradually became impossible to look at directly.
The Bell of Destiny was divine, and Yin and Yang cut through the twilight!
