Chapter 3874: Like Strangers

The little one's gaze was truly cold, looking at him as if he were an unknown stranger.

Love, hate, and resentment always manifest somehow; it's impossible for there to be no outward emotion.

Therefore, the most painful thing is complete disregard.

In her eyes, you would never exist. To her, you might be less than a beggar on the street or a passerby selling soy sauce.

Indifference—that was the most agonizing part.

A hint of coldness involuntarily surfaced in the Second Young Master's heart. He turned and resolutely leaped down.

Little Qiao, leading the group of students, moved forward with the defensive shield overhead.

The large crowd of Royal Academy students looked down with wide-eyed curiosity.

The man-eating bees followed Mo Lian and the others to the cliff, buzzing and swiftly spreading down the cliff face with lightning speed.

However, in mere moments, everyone saw black and purple flames, mixed with soaring lightning and shattered rocks, completely annihilating vast swathes of man-eating bees.

The other Royal Academy students stood at the edge of the cliff, stunned, their gazes fixed downwards.

The little stoic, however, remained expressionless. She raised her hand, took out a storage talisman, and captured a dozen or so scattered man-eating bees.

She'd take them back for research; perhaps there were mysteries in these man-eating bees.

A dozen man-eating bees couldn't form a threat, so they naturally wouldn't burst her storage talisman and escape. She wasn't worried about these little things causing her trouble.

Qiao Mu looked down towards the cliff, seeing a black and purple light wheel rising from beneath it. The wind blew, and dust swirled, filling the air with a burnt smell.

The five of them, working together, had massacred the swarm, proving their formidable power.

The millions of man-eating bees were mostly wiped out in that single attack.

The remaining scattered man-eating bees that managed to escape were caught and cut down by the Royal Academy students.

Moments later, the five of them leaped back up, naturally unharmed.

Qiao Mu looked at Mo Lian, her eyes brightening slightly. She originally wanted to reach out and run to his side, but seeing so many people around, she decided against it.

The group had lured the man-eating bees to the bottom of the cliff to eliminate them, which naturally wouldn't affect the trees in the Phoenix Wood Forest.

However, when everyone looked at the bare pit next to them, they couldn't help but feel a little awkward.

Taking the entire phoenix tree, roots and all, what would the instructors think when they saw it?

"Students..."

"I think I heard the voice of the swindling dean," Little Fatty said expressionlessly, still carrying the tree.

"Auditory hallucination."

"No, no, everyone, it's not an auditory hallucination." Dean Yun floated down, giving everyone a slight smile.

"Are all the students alright? Did the poisonous bee swarm just now not bother everyone?"

Everyone: Heh heh.

The problem is solved, and you, old man, appear. How timely!

Dean Yun turned and saw the tree Little Fatty was carrying. His eyes lit up. "Student Kou Hongwen, what are you carrying on your shoulder?"

"A Millennium Phoenix Wood tree!" a joyous voice exclaimed.

Then, everyone saw a thin, gray-robed figure flash past them.

Little Fatty suddenly realized a monk had appeared before him.

He was excitedly touching the phoenix tree, nodding repeatedly, "It is indeed a Millennium Phoenix Wood!"

It was it, no doubt about it.

The master looked at Dean Yun with excited eyes, nodding at him repeatedly.

Dean Yun immediately understood.
