Group Gathering

Mu Yue then came back to the house and saw a group of people on the terrace. Xiao Yan then saw her and greeted, "Welcome back, Mu Yue. Liu Yang and the others have arrived. We've been waiting for you."

"Okay, I will be there after taking a bath."

Liu Yang then muttered, "It seems that Mu Yue has been busy."

"Well, her father had her train as much as possible. Even the nights are occupied by possible trainings. All to prepare her as she will have to leave the school grounds in half a year and travel alone for a year." Xiao Yan explained.

Fei Hong then said, "We just caught up and it seems that even if we all have the same cultivation level, Mu Yue already has a bigger gap between her and us."

"It would be weird if it's not like that. We also better train well to not get left behind. Sadly, if all of us are going to be busy, we will never be able to fight as a group again." Jun Qing sighed.

Li Jie then suggested, "Since it's like that, why don't we make the day after exactly two years from now as the time we will fight together. Mu Yue will be busy for one and a half year, this gives another half a year for her to finish everything else. Also, this might be the time that Core Formation stage will be near our reach. You can also think of this as a competion between all of us."

All of them agreed. It was then Mu Yue arrived and saw them nodding to each other. "Did I miss something?"

"I will tell you later, Mu Yue. Let us spend this afternoon together as a group. This will be the first and last time for two years that we might all be together, relaxed."

"I don't get why that is, but sure Xiao Yan."

Fei Hong then intervened, "Anything interesting happened between you two?"

Mu Yue answered, "Mostly the same."

"Hey, Fei Hong. Since you asked that to Mu Yue and I, might as well do the same. Any progress between you and Jun Qing?"

"W-what!?" Fei Hong exclaimed.

"Huh!?!?!" Jun Qing quickly made a distance from Fei Hong.

"Pfft" Wang Yong tried not to laugh.

"*Cough**Cough*" Liu Yang choked while drinking.

Li Jie looks unaffected but he can't stop grinning.

Xiao Yan giggled from their reactions, "Just kidding, just kidding"

"I will make this clear... I am straight! I prefer girls!" Jun Qing yelled.

Liu Yang finished her drink before saying, "Right... We all know that the rumors of you and Fei Hong being together are fake. That all of the students of our batch are just joking around."

"Damnit! Whoever made that rumor spread will taste my blade! This is brotherhood I tell you! Brotherhood!" Jun Qing shouted as he was fed up of hearing such crap.

"Alright enough of that or poor Jun Qing will collapse. If he does, we have to make Fei Hong carry him that may or may not spread a new rumor." Xiao Yan teased.

Jun Qing quickly shuts his mouth. Who knows, these people might plot against him and purposely knock him up. Now he is afraid of eating the food, as there might be something else on them.

Liu Yang has the same concern, "These food are safe right? Actually, what did you prepare? They were covered since the start and it might be a good idea to reveal them since Mu Yue is here."

Mu Yue had a bad feeling which was confirmed when Xiao Yan revealed the dishes.

"Mu Yue came out of training as such, she needs to eat healthy food. We all are going to train on the upcoming days so we might as well share the food to the whole group, right?"

Wang Yong glanced at the food and asked, "Are these safe to eat? No no, the real question is are they even edible?"

"Safe? Yes and no, depends what needs to be safe. Jun Qing, Fei Hong, I see you two are trying to escape."

"E-escape? N-no, I just want to stretch my legs." Fei Hong explained.

Jun Qing hesitatingly went back, "What a coincidence haha, I was about to do the same."

Since it seems that no one was going to escape, the others decided to might as well eat the dishes. Liu Yang saw that Mu Yue was eating the dish without giving out any expressions or reaction, which was uncommon as she almost threw up when she tasted the dish.

"How can you be like that, Mu Yue?"

"If you have tasted it a lot of times and know that it will be like that everyday, you can't help but be used to it."

"O-oh... you had it rough..."
