Capital of Tai Ming

Unbeknownst to Xiao Yan, she was currently giggling as she thought of these. Mu Yue saw this and just put it as Xiao Yan getting angry at the beasts for disturbing her sleep.

Although they have been together for some time, Mu Yue still couldn't accurately tell the meanings between Xiao Yan's expressions. This was one such case. Normally, giggling would have been an indicator of being happy at something positive, yet if it was Xiao Yan, it could be getting happy about doing something bad to someone.

While the students and the teachers were fighting the flying beasts. The principal was leisurely drinking his tea. This was how it looked to outsiders.

Although it looked like the principal was just lazing around, he was actually monitoring the situation. He was prepared to move if the situation became dangerous. He couldn't let anyone die during their trip.

When he saw that the students were starting to get tired, he then released his aura. This made the flying beasts to go away from the ship.

Mu Yue and Xiao Yan then went back to their spot after the fight. Mu Yue voluntarily offered to let Xiao Yan sleep on her thighs.

Xiao Yan accepted the offer and she once again slept well. She does not care if the ship gets attacked again as she knows that with the principal around, nothing bad will happen to their group.

As for her getting surprised earlier, it was not directed towards the beast attacking them. She was just surprised when the principal let the attack happen.

She knows the shenanigans of the principal and already concluded that it was one of the experiences he wanted to let the students have. To not look bad in front of Mu Yue, she just decided to act appropriately.

They then arrived at the capital of Tai Ming Kingdom. It was currently noon so after checking the place they were going to stay at, the principal had the students eat their lunch.

As the host of the tournament, Tai Ming Kingdom was responsible for providing lodgings to the schools. They were also responsible for the food that they were going to eat so they already have hired chefs to cook food.

"Principal, Mu Yue and I will go around the city to check what they have. We still have two days before the tournament starts so we have time to look for items. We will also eat dinner outside and will go back at nightfall." Xiao Yan said.

"Sure, take care of each other as even if this is a capital, there are still some dangers inside. Also, take these two talismans. They are connected to mine. "

"This way, I will know where the two of you are. We could also talk to each other using this. It's effective as long as the distance does not exceed 10 kilometers. Tell me if the two of you are in trouble." The principal then handed the talismans before bidding them farewell.

Talismans are items produced by Array Masters. They were circular amulet or rings that have small array/s inscribed to them. Different from Array Tablets, these talismans will only have their effects used by one person.

Talismans are used to protect oneself while Array / Array tablets cover a large area. There are also other unique effects. Talking to each other can only be done by talismans, while teleporting an object or person can only be done by arrays.

After receiving the talismans, the two girls then went around the city. They first visited the Treasure Pavilion to look around for suitable items that could help them in their cultivation.

Mu Yue didn't see anything that was at the same level as the Moonlight Tear. She then asked one of the servants, "When would the auction happen?"

"The auction will happen after a week. It is also the auction that will have the best lineup of items. This was because it will be a 'Grand Auction' that only happens once a year." The servant answered.

"Coincidentally, it happened when we arrived here for the tournament..." Mu Yue mumbled.

The servant heard this and explained, "We deliberately had the 'Grand Auction' happen during the tournament. This way, we would have more bidders for the auction. It will also happen in the night, so the people will not have to choose between going to the auction or the tournament."

Now knowing that a 'Grand Auction' will happen, Mu Yue decided to not buy anything first and wait for the auction to look at the items.
