My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 2906
2906 Going to Red Clouds Peak
Pundit Liu snorted. “I heard you took a few days off right after your first day of class?”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Mu regarded him warily. “What’s your point?”
She hoped his next words wouldn’t be, “Since you seem so at ease, why don’t you spend some time on the knife stakes?”
She had no desire to stand there in the chilly breeze with nothing to occupy her time.
Pundit Liu responded with a sardonic chuckle and a simpering smile. He turned his gaze towards her. “Today’s incident seems to have started because of you…”
“That’s correct, Pundit Liu,” Achir interjected, gasping for breath. She hastily added, “You can’t show favoritism! How can you just punish us? She should be punished too! Punish her!”
Qiao Mu glanced at Achir and vaguely understood that this woman had been a constant companion to Ming Asi and Ali for years. They were not personally acquainted, so why had she chosen this moment to provoke her?
Without waiting for Pundit Liu to speak, Qiao Mu turned and walked away.
As she strolled off, she waved her petite hand dismissively. “I’m in a hurry to leave. If there’s any matter to discuss, we can do so when I return.”
Pundit Liu stood there, momentarily stunned.
It was the first time he had encountered a young lady who dared to dismiss the Discipline Hall with such nonchalance.
Mo Lian and the others were delighted. They promptly turned and followed the young lady’s footsteps, and within two minutes, the entire group had departed.
In the vast courtyard, only a few individuals from the Underworld Province remained, their expressions cold and resentful.
Unconsciously, Ming Asi clenched his fists.
He couldn’t help but notice that as the young lady departed, she hadn’t spared him even a glance.
He knew full well that she didn’t hold him in high regard, but he had already stated his stance. The marriage contract from twenty years ago clearly declared their engagement.
But why was she unwilling to calm down and listen to him?
Ming Asi’s thoughts were of little concern to Qiao Mu. That evening, she packed her belongings, and the following morning, she took Chen Qi and Lu Zheng with her husband to traverse the eastern side of North Wangda Forest toward Red Clouds Peak.
Chen Qi and Lu Zheng, who had spent a day procuring essential supplies, felt as though they had been put through the wringer by the young lady.
However, the young lady herself seemed remarkably cheerful.
The weight of the “marriage engagement from twenty years ago” had been weighing heavily on her mind.
That night, the newlyweds had devised a strategy to counter any potential moves by Ming Asi.
They both wholeheartedly agreed with Duan Yue’s assessment that “Ming Asi is a bit unhinged.”
The academy was likely to be far from peaceful today. Ming Asi was sure to make a spectacle of himself and would not simply let go of the engagement.
So, as they departed from the Imperial Academy, the two of them were in high spirits.
A snow-white silver wolf carried the newlyweds towards the eastern entrance of North Wangda Forest.
Chen Qi sighed during the journey. “It’s been many years since I last came back.”
“I recall there used to be a sizable village at the foot of Red Clouds Peak.”
“Sigh, I wonder if it still exists.”
Qiao Mu didn’t pay much attention to their conversation along the way, so she offered little response.
On the other hand, Mo Lian was more inclined to engage in conversation and occasionally exchanged words with Chen Qi and Lu Zheng.
Within North Wangda Forest, the occasional roars of fierce beasts could be heard. However, Mo Lian, Chen Qi, and the others were all individuals whose cultivation exceeded the super divine realm, so they paid no heed to the forest’s wild creatures.
“I remember there used to be a teleportation array here.”
Lu Zheng prodded the left side of the trees with a two-pronged branch.
