Tap-tap-tap——
On the post road, four horse riders in tight-fitting clothes galloped past, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Senior Brother Qin is really something, taking the flying boat himself and leaving us behind," Xu Man complained while bouncing on the horse’s back, with a hint of grievance in her tone.
"Yah——"
The leading Li Hui swung the whip without turning his head and said, "Stop complaining and hurry up, or we’ll never make it into the city if we delay any longer."
This time, the court opened a new department, inviting various sects to send their disciples to Tiandu City for study.
Except for the Three Saint Sect, each sect must send no fewer than ten disciples, and they must be direct disciples.
This time, Qin Yi led the team from Kuixing Sect, taking five people by flying boat to the capital first, while the others received the news while training outside and could only ride their horses towards the Central State.
They had already traveled over a thousand miles day and night without rest.
"Huh?"
At this moment, Xu Man looked around and asked in confusion, "Strange, where did Junior Sister go?"
Upon hearing this, Li Hui turned his head and found that only two people were left behind, and Junior Sister Mu Yueyao was missing.
"Whoa——"
Everyone reined in their horses to a stop.
Li Hui frowned and said, "Didn’t Yueyao stay with you? How could you not notice if someone was missing?"
Xu Man looked blank, "That’s strange; I was just talking to her, and suddenly both she and the horse vanished... Could she have gotten distracted and lost?"
Li Hui shook his head and said, "This section of the post road has no intersections, how could she get lost? She’s most likely lagging behind us."
He took out a communication Spirit Jade from his arms, injected True Yuan into it, and the jade glowed softly, sending out an invisible wave.
About half a stick of incense later.
The sound of horse hooves approached, and a charming young girl rode out from the woods beside the winding path.
"Sorry for keeping my senior brothers and sisters waiting."
Xu Man asked in confusion, "Yueyao, where did you go?"
Mu Yueyao blushed a bit and whispered, "I suddenly had a bit of an emergency..."
"Ahem."
Li Hui cleared his throat and said, "Alright, let’s move quickly, only two more hours until curfew, and if we dawdle any longer, we’ll have to sleep outside the city tonight!"
"Yes."
Mu Yueyao stuck out her tongue.
They galloped for several hundred more miles and finally entered the city before the gates closed.
However, by this time, it was late, with only half an hour left until curfew, and the city inns were no longer accepting guests.
"Senior Brother Qin arrived early; he should have arranged accommodations for us, so let’s go find him directly."
Li Hui took out a jade stone, injected True Yuan, and quickly received a response.
"This way."
Following the guidance of the Spirit Jade, they weaved through the streets and alleys, eventually reaching a bustling district in the east of the city.
