Chapter 3862: Reunion

The next morning, Qin Xiu opened his slightly bewildered eyes, sat up, still clutching a thin blanket.

The temperature had already climbed, and the fellow, covered by the blanket, was sweating profusely.

Yet, perhaps it was due to the sweat, but he felt much better than yesterday, and his body felt more refreshed.

Among so many people, only the little stoic had an inner world.

So, whose blanket this was, was self-evident.

Qiao Mu walked in from outside, backlit, and seeing everyone rustling awake, she said expressionlessly, "There's already some wild game outside that's been caught. Go wash and gut it yourselves and roast it."

Qiu Fu and the others were overjoyed at the news, repeatedly expressing their thanks, and eagerly ran out to get to work.

Qiao Mu had already strolled around the vicinity and knew there was no danger, so she couldn't be bothered with those people.

She had already eaten her breakfast outside earlier: a bowl of porridge, a meat bun, and two pastries.

Feeling a little full, she took the opportunity to stretch her limbs and, while she was at it, caught a few wild rabbits and volcanic chickens for them.

She certainly wasn't being kind to take care of these weak academy classmates.

"Miss Qiao Qiao," a female teammate from Qiu Fu's group cheerfully ran up to her and said, "The wild game has all been washed and roasted. Come eat some with us."

Qiao Mu shook her head. "You eat."

"Alright then." The female student nodded and turned to Qin Fifth Young Master. "This classmate, you should also eat some."

The morning light was just right. A group of Royal Academy students sat around several roasting racks, happily eating.

The Fifth Young Master held half a roasted rabbit leg, his gaze subtly shifting towards the cave.

His eyes inexplicably landed on the little stoic, but he saw her, with her perpetually cold, expressionless little ice face, walk out of the cave, not speaking to anyone, and went off to gather herbs nearby on her own.

After a torrential rain last night, the forest air was exceptionally rich with the scent of vegetation today.

Little Qiao had been gathering herbs for a while when she suddenly heard the faint sound of clashing swords, carried by the wind from a distance.

The little one perked up her ears and listened carefully for a moment, then abruptly stood up and hurried towards the source of the sound.

Qiu Fu and the others had just finished eating. Seeing the Little Princess Consort turn and run without a word, they quickly followed.

However, they were, after all, just a group of ordinary people and couldn't keep up with Qiao Mu's speed. They could only roughly follow in the direction she went.

After running for about a mile, they saw a large pack of wild wolves appear ahead. Qiu Fu and the others were startled and quickly stopped.

"It's nothing," Lu Pinwen said, relieved, upon seeing the scene.

At first, they thought they were unlucky enough to encounter that wolf pack again. But on closer inspection, the situation had already been brought under control by the Little Princess Consort and her teammates.

Fighting alongside the Little Princess Consort were her teammates.

Qi Xuanxuan knocked away a wild wolf, kicked it aside, and turned to Qiao Mu with a beaming smile.

What a coincidence! They had just robbed a dozen Royal Academy students when they encountered a wolf pack.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Qiao arrived while they were protecting the weak students during their retreat.

They had been worried these past few days, so seeing Qiao Mu safe naturally filled them with joy.

After the wolf pack was driven away, the group exchanged smiles. Before they could even speak, they heard a rustling sound.

A volley of arrows suddenly shot down from above the trees.
