2751 Old Sir Mu’s Letter
His Qiaoqiao had ascended to an even greater level of elegance and adorableness. Observing her clad in the crimson battle suit, its visual appeal was so captivating that it held the gazes of onlookers in a magnetic grip.
The cohort of young individuals embarked onto the third-layer ship, laden with bags of assorted sizes, creating a somewhat jarring spectacle.
Qiao Mu caught a glimpse of them and suppressed a smile, her diminutive countenance maintaining an impassive demeanor.
Qi Xuanxuan was adorned in an emerald-green dress, further enhancing the charm of her cherubic visage.
One individual carried a sack in front and another at his rear, with two more suspended from his shoulders. Upon boarding the ship, he waved his dainty hand and announced, “All right, everyone is present. Let’s commence our journey.”
Crown Prince Mo’s eyelid twitched as he scanned these individuals. “What is the meaning of this?”
/Isn’t it rather amusing how you’re practically fleeing to the academy in such a manner?/
Little Fatty patted the bulging sack on his abdomen and addressed the Crown Prince with a significant and sincere tone, “Your Highness, are you perhaps considering obtaining a sack as well? Let me enlighten you; there’s a high likelihood that during the academy’s forthcoming practical training, they might employ deception and prohibit us from accessing our inner worlds. Do not underestimate these seemingly insignificant sacks; they could prove immensely valuable in such situations!”
“This crown prince possesses a storage talisman, a Storage Talisman.”
Little Fatty’s eyes gleamed with understanding, and he exclaimed while slapping his thigh, “Of course!”
Qiao Mu rolled her eyes heavenward…
Qi Xuanxuan preserved her composed expression as she interjected, “But what if the academy initiates deceptive measures and compels us to surrender both the talismans and Storage Talismans?”
Ma Ta cleared his throat and proposed, “In that case, let’s each carry a bundle as a precaution for unforeseen circumstances.”
Meanwhile, Lu Yu and their companions had already discreetly stowed away their surplus baggage, opting to only bear small sacks containing provisions of food and water on their backs.
Crown Prince Mo’s lips twitched slightly. He drew his Qiaoqiao aside and huddled close to the young one’s ear, whispering, “Let’s keep our distance from them.”
/Her companions didn’t seem to possess the highest IQ. She pondered if their lack of acumen would rub off on her in the days ahead!/
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao’s eyes gleamed as she gazed down at the palace maids and eunuchs who waved up at them from beneath the ship.
The little one extended her dainty hand and waved in response.
Abruptly, a raven with ebony feathers swooped in, its wings flapping gracefully. It alighted on the deck and inclined its head toward them.
The raven disgorged a missive along with a storage talisman, the Storage Talisman.
Qiao Mu reached out to inspect them. The missive hailed from venerable Old Master Mu.
The letter extended congratulations for her enrollment at the Imperial Academy. It also conveyed the constraints of time, hastily assembling a token of appreciation as her reward, and entreated her to visit her grandmother once she returned from her academy commitments.
Qiao Mu’s gaze lowered pensively as she stowed away the talisman, the Storage Talisman, and the letter. Her hand caressed the raven’s head before she observed it take flight and vanish into the skies.
Crown Prince Mo comprehended this child most intimately. Her countenance revealed that she had, at last, softened her heart toward the elderly gentleman.
“In a venerable lineage spanning millennia, virtue and vice will inevitably coexist.” Mo Lian gently clasped her dainty hand, a smile gracing his lips. He murmured, “We shall, in due time, prune away the withered branches so that the healthy ones can flourish.”
“Fret not, for I shall be by your side.” Crown Prince Mo nuzzled her petite head, his voice a soothing reassurance.
“Agreed.” Qiao Mu nodded with determination, her petite hand waving resolutely. “Let’s embark!”
The intricate mechanisms aboard the Scarlet Sky Breaker tirelessly engaged, propelling the vessel forward.
Abruptly, a colossal ship ascended into the heavens, venturing into the vast blue expanse above.
Within the confines of the Eastern Palace’s modest garden, a gathering of junior eunuchs and palace maids erupted in jubilation akin to the New Year’s festivities. Their gazes lifted, hands raised in vigorous waves, bidding farewell to their departing master.
