Chapter 3772: 4.1372 Blocking the Way

"Ding-dong, ding-dong."

As a string of bell sounds drifted in, several men who had been holed up in the supply point playing pai gow all night turned their heads to look at the entrance.

A girl of sixteen or seventeen, veiled in pink and with bare, delicate feet, walked in.

Small bells were tied around each of her exposed, fair ankles, producing crisp ringing sounds as she walked.

Following behind the girl were seven or eight strikingly beautiful women, among whom a lithe, black-clad woman with a figure as supple as a snake was particularly eye-catching.

The men's gazes clearly grew more fervent as they looked at the women.

"Mmm, we've been traveling all day; everyone must be tired. Sister Fuling, let's rest here first."

The black-clad woman's voice was utterly captivating, and as soon as she spoke, the men with their eyes glued to her were utterly charmed.

Sikong Fuling scoffed, pursing her lips noncommittally. "Vice Sect Leader Meng, you and your subordinates are too delicate. You want to rest after only a few minutes of walking? At your pace, you won't reach your destination even next year."

The black-clad woman giggled. "Sister Fuling, you're from a lower star domain, so you don't understand our lifestyle here in the Three Provinces. Our pace of life isn't that fast here."

As soon as the woman spoke, the seven or eight veiled girls behind her let out background giggles.

This Vice Sect Leader Meng was clearly full of mockery, looking down on Sikong Fuling's origins from a lower star domain.

Sikong Fuling didn't get angry; she merely rolled her eyes nonchalantly. "You rest if you want. I'm leaving first!"

Anyway, being with these people wouldn't accomplish anything significant; it would be much simpler for her to act alone.

Sikong Fuling, looking as if she couldn't be bothered with these women anymore, turned to leave but suddenly saw a team approaching.

They were all young men, each exceptionally handsome, dressed in white academy robes.

They must be disciples out for training from some academy. Sikong Fuling glanced at the person leading them, and her jaw almost dropped.

She subconsciously took a few steps backward, meekly retreating to Vice Sect Leader Meng's side, becoming a meek little quail.

"There should be medicinal ingredients for sale at this small supply point," Mo Lian said calmly, his footsteps not pausing even slightly as he walked past Sikong Fuling and her group, his gaze not lingering for a moment.

The seven young men following him nodded in agreement, their eyes occasionally sweeping over Sikong Fuling and the other women, but never lingering.

Sikong Fuling continued to act as her meek quail.

The black-clad woman, however, couldn't help but have her eyes light up. She stepped two paces to the side, positioning herself in front of the young men, and said with a beaming smile, "Hey, are you Royal Academy students?"

Wasn't that obvious?

Dou Fenghua and the others paused slightly, all frowning at the black-clad woman, Meng Meiyou.

This woman blocked them with half her body, forcing them to walk around.

After all, the small door ahead wasn't very wide, and with her turning sideways like that, she almost completely blocked half of the doorway.

Duan Yue and Mo Lian, who had already entered, simultaneously turned their heads to look at Mu Xingchen, Duan Tianya, and the others who were blocked outside the door by the woman.

They frowned slightly in displeasure.
