1566 Go Get Struck on the Way Back!

The back of this colossal terrestrial whale was enclosed with a special material, with thirty seats inside.

Qiao Mu and the trio scaled the ladder alongside the terrestrial whale before sitting down in pairs.

They saw that teacher from Apex Academy wanted to hug the elder's thigh no matter what as he kept begging, "Oh please, Big Bro. Just let me hitch a ride. It's okay if I don't get a seat."

"Scram!" The elder was furious and wanted to fling away that mentor, yet the chap was like medicated plaster stuck on his arm. He couldn't fling the latter away at all.

Meanwhile, Qiao Mu turned to glance at them. She was rather at a loss for words.

This mentor was actually so thick-skinned as to want to hitch a ride for five spirit currency…

If the elder allowed this exception, it would definitely make who knows how many other thick-skinned people pester him endlessly for a ride, as well.

It was obvious that the elder wouldn't agree.

Otherwise, how would he do business in the future.

"This Little Bro, I beg of you, please let me off!" The elder pushed away that mentor as he stated with a wave of his hand, "The prefecture defenders are the ones who personally fixed the terrestrial whales' fare. I am also begging you, Little Bro, this is not something I can decide."

You've got to be kidding. He had gotten this lucrative job from Shuntian Prefecture's Prefecture Lord with much difficulty. He of course couldn't mess it up.

This price wasn't high at all, alright.

Even after not accounting for the cost of renting and feeding these terrestrial whales.

He still needed to turn over half of the earnings to the prefecture lord's estate.

After doing the math, there wasn't much left in the end. It was already very good to pocket 10 to 20 percent of the earnings.

That's why he wished for nothing more than to smack that d*mn mentor to death with a slap when the latter wanted to hitch a ride for five spirit currency.

"Big Bro, please reconsider," the short mentor pleaded pitifully.

The elder could tolerate it no more and roared at him, "Scram back the way you had come in the first place!"

"Go scram the hell out of here!!—"

Those words were so booming that they quaked the guests on the terrestrial whale's back. They all looked at the elder in astonishment.

"The way I had come was so miserable! When I was traversing the Thunder Plains alone, it was so terrible getting struck by those thunderbolts!"

Bai Xia twitched her mouth as she looked speechlessly at that unabashed short mentor.

Was he really a mentor from some academy?

But she seemed to have never heard of Apex Academy.

"I've only heard of Shuntian Prefecture's four great academies: Sun, Moon, Star, and Celestial." Bai Xia whispered, "I've never heard of this whatever Apex Academy."

"I seemed to have heard of it from somewhere," the little fellow murmured to herself.

"Ah, is that so." Bai Xia was surprised. She turned to ask Qiao Mu. "Where did you hear of it?"

"I've…" Qiao Mu had wanted to say "forgotten" when her gaze suddenly settled on the jade bangle carved with a pine tree on her left wrist.

A flash of realization streaked past her mind.

Apex Academy?

Apex Academy??

'Should you insist on ascending to the Six Prefectures Continent, first go to the Shuntian Prefecture's Lava Mountain Range and learn at Apex Academy for a period of time.'

'You only need to show the green pine jade bangle that Master gave you to the dean of Apex Academy. He will naturally take care of you in your master's stead.'

Could it be what Murong Xun had mentioned… that Apex Academy?

Qiao Mu turned to look at that scoundrelly short mentor. However, no matter how hard she tried, she was unable to link him with the Apex Academy Murong Xun had mentioned.
