My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 1839

Chapter 1839: I Sense Her?

Qiao Mu and company descended from the sky and landed beside Mentor Wei Xu.

This immediately drew the attention of the soldiers guarding the city gate.

A group of soldiers were in full battle array as they fixed their attention on Qiao Mu’s group. They had drawn their swords, and it looked like they would rush over to hack them if Qiao Mu and them made a careless move.

“What happened.” Qiao Mu questioned coldly. However, she actually wasn’t too interested in this matter.

Mentor Hu explained, “Ah, you all caught up pretty fast. Supposedly, something happened in the city and they’re currently catching the culprit. That’s why they have temporarily locked the city gate. They say they’ll only be opening it at dusk.”

“How can we wait until nighttime?” It wasn’t even noon yet. It was fine for marital artists to wait four to six hours outside the city gate, but that would be too inconsiderate for the elderly, infirm, women, and children.

Qiao Mu noticed Sis Qi and her daughter sitting exhaustedly on the ground. She walked up and bent down, feeling Huanhuan’s slightly burning forehead.

She took out a medicinal bottle from her sleeve and handed it to Sis Qi. “Feed Huanhuan one. She should feel better in a bit.”

Sis Qi hastily took it with repeated thanks.

“What exactly happened in the city?”

“Who knows!” Several fishermen who were also waiting to enter repeated furiously, “I heard that several strange spies had snuck into our Prefecture Lord’s Estate. The leader seemed to have a particularly rare plant-type spiritual beast.”

Qiao Mu blinked. “They stole some valuable information from your City Lord’s Estate?”

“I didn’t hear that.” That person shook his head and explained, “We only know a limited amount of information. In any case, the Prefecture Lord has posted a notice, saying that those people be captured alive. I wonder what utterly heartless thing they did to enrage the Prefecture Lord so.”

“Mentor, how about we just skip this place? Might as well ride our flying beasts toward Polan Prefecture’s that whatsitsname academy?”

“Godsend Academy.”

“Ah yes, Godsend Academy. How about it!”

Wei Xu contemplated for a bit at this suggestion. He then responded with a nod, “That will do.”

They had been short on time anyways and couldn’t waste any more time, so naturally, they couldn’t just wait here.

However, Wei Xu glanced at the common people who had experienced a night of wind and rain after abandoning ship. He couldn’t bear to see their dejected moods.

“How about them?”

Duanmu Qing glanced at them lightly before turning back and lowering his eyes. “Mentor, you can’t save the whole world.”

They had already rescued most of the people on the ship. They already did their part to help them as people who had the ability to do so. However, they did not have the obligation to help settle them down in the city.

If they did, no one would have the mental energy to do anything else.

Wei Xu involuntarily gave a start. He then sighed and said with a nod, “Okay then, they’ll just have to wait here for the city gate to open.”

Their group alighted Mentor Wei Xu’s aerial centipede. It then shot up high into the air and weaved through the clouds, directly heading for Mount Tai.

Inside the city, a figure clad in ink-colored clothes paused and abruptly looked up at the sky. However, he could only glimpse the afterimage of an aerial centipede vanishing into the sky.

He suddenly halted, making Dao Wuji almost bump into his back. The latter couldn’t resist grumbling, “Boss, why’re you spacing out?”

“I seem to have sensed Qiaoqiao’s presence,” Crown Prince Mo murmured.

“Ah? What’re you saying Boss?”
