Chapter 3887: Heaven's Fortune's Purpose

Her voice paused, and she frowned slightly. "Could they be the monsters attacking the crowd that those people outside are talking about?"

If that were truly the case, then... Heaven's Fortune was on the move again.

Whether Heaven's Fortune's current actions were aimed at her, Qiao Mu, or at the Royal Academy, or everyone in the adventurer's base, remained unknown.

"Perhaps it's just that they want to test how powerful these improved, peculiar species are in combat," Mo Lian said softly.

Qiao Mu nodded. If it was Heaven's Fortune, it was indeed very likely that this was their purpose.

The entire three-story wooden building slightly trembled as if from a series of ground tremors.

Loud shouts erupted from outside. Suddenly, the small courtyard gate completely collapsed, and a multitude of people poured in from outside, instantly filling the relatively spacious courtyard to the point of being a human sea.

A set of defensive and reflective talisman arrays flew out from the window, instantly covering the entire detached wooden building.

Even if someone rushed forward to kick the door or tried to fly in through the window, they were repelled by the talisman array's force and sent flying.

Gu Yixuan and Zhao Yi, protecting the Little Princess Mu Xiaoxue of Shadow City, were squeezed near the wooden building's entrance.

Qiao Mu, along with Mo Lian and Duan Yue, stood at the railing on the third floor, looking down with displeasure at the noisy crowd below.

"A disorganized mess, utterly meaningless," she said with a cold expression.

These people, encountering a bit of trouble, just knew how to shout and make a commotion. Qiao Mu had no intention of helping them.

When facing danger, everyone should rely on their own abilities to escape the predicament. Shouting and screaming were useless and only caused headaches.

"Everyone, stop shouting, stop shouting!" Qiu Fu, Lu Pinwen, and a few others, caught in the crowd, protected Fifth Young Master Qin beside them, repeatedly shouting at the crowd.

"Eh? Why are they here?" Qi Xuanxuan walked to the railing, looking at Qiu Fu and the others below with curiosity.

Qiao Mu's small face was tense, her gaze fixed on Qiu Fu and his companions. She frowned in displeasure.

Shouldn't they have returned to the academy with their instructors?

"Qiu Fu. Lu Pinwen!" Qi Xuanxuan called out, waving to them.

Qiu Fu looked up, seeing them, and his face brightened slightly. "Miss Xuanxuan, Miss Qiao, you're all here."

"Come up," Qi Xuanxuan waved to them.

Qiu Fu, Lu Pinwen, and the other four quickly brought Fifth Young Master Qin. They leaped up, directly jumping to the third floor, and stood beside Qi Xuanxuan without any hindrance.

Seeing this, others also tried to leap up quickly, wanting to follow them.

However...

They were very unceremoniously bounced back by the defensive talisman array, almost hitting the people below, eliciting a chorus of angry curses.

"Why didn't you return to the academy?" Qi Xuanxuan asked.

"Don't even mention it. After we separated from you, the swindling dean said that the flying spirit tool could only carry three hundred students."

Qiu Fu rolled his eyes, saying irritably, "The remaining people, if they didn't want to go back on their own, were to wait at the Phoenix Wood Forest entrance for the academy to send someone else to pick them up."

"We thought the flying spirit tool would be less trouble, and since we had nothing else to do, we decided to wait, but then..." But then we waited ourselves into a trap!

"A group of strangely shaped Harpies suddenly flew in from outside the Phoenix Wood Forest. They attacked people indiscriminately. Many students were injured, and everyone scattered, running frantically into the forest."
