1831 Changing Weather

Just as Qi Xuanxuan stepped out of the cabin while holding on to Qiao Mu, she felt the floor beneath her sway.

Both of their bodies teetered, and they almost bumped into Sis Qi, who had been running over frantically.

"The waves are billowing, and they say that a tempest will hit tonight," Sis Qi informed them panickedly while carrying her daughter Huanhuan.

"Ah?"

"What's going on?"

Sis Qi rambled, "I heard this from other people, so you probably have to ask the captain in order to find out the exact situation."

"I'll go see what's going on." Qiao Mu quickly left after saying this.

However, by the time she found the captain at the stern of the ship, the guy only knew to assert in a cold sweat that no one had forecasted a tempest when they set sail.

Qiao Mu hastily gathered the mentors and her companions before giving Qi Xuanxuan a look.

Xuanxuan gravely informed the group, "It does indeed look like the weather is about to change. Everybody be careful, make preparations, and suit up. This ship cannot withstand too much battering and might capsize at any time."

Qiao Mu nodded. After adding on several exhortations, she shooed them back to their rooms to rest up

The waves on the sea got rougher by the time dusk fell. Everybody was apprehensive as they sat inside the ship. Several people even threw up from how much the ship was rocking.

The sound of seawater slamming against the ship made the people in the large cabin tense up.

Meanwhile, Qi Xuanxuan's group were also worried. Since they were unable to sleep, they gathered together.

"We'll summon our flying mystic beasts later?"

There was water everywhere around them. Only if they summoned their flying mystic beasts would they be able to get out of this sticky situation.

"Forget it!" Qi Xuanxuan snorted.

The mentors had warned them before they left that they could only depend on themselves on this journey. They could not summon any flying beasts for assistance.

"Then what do we do??" The little fatty yowled, "Could it be the mentors mean for us to figure out how to finish crossing the sea?"

"I think there's an 80 percent chance of that being the case." Lu Yu explained with a nod, "We would've summoned flying beasts at the start if we could. There wouldn't be any problems then."

"Sigh!" Everybody let out a collective sigh. Their teeth ached when they thought of the mentors' screwy inclinations.

As they spoke, everyone felt the ship rocking even more fiercely.

"We're finished, finished! We won't be able to last past tonight."

"Prepare for rescue," Qiao Mu said while standing up.

"Aren't we unable to summon flying mystic beasts?" Hua Tao did not know how to respond. "How about we go negotiate with the mentors that they shouldn't be such sticklers. Since it's a special situation that calls for urgency, we should…"

"Knock, knock, knock."

Zhou Danjin and the other mentors filed in after knocking. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why are you all gathered in Qiaoqiao's room?"

"I'll be filling in everyone on the situation right now."

"It seems like the waves have gotten stronger. I don't know if this unreliable ship will capsize all of a sudden in the middle of the night."

All the students: …

Could it be more unreliable than you screwy teachers?

"But as your mentors, we have to stress the rules we set for this journey. If someone summons a beast in the middle, don't blame us mentors for mercilessly deducting a hundred credits."

Qiao Mu and the others simultaneously rolled their eyes at him.
