Chapter 212 Reunion at Night

After careful consideration, the three teachers decided to give the three children enough freedom to experience the ups and downs of their growth on their own, without interfering or hindering them too much.

As night fell and everyone sat around the table to enjoy dinner, the atmosphere was unusually quiet, and none of the teachers brought up what had happened during the day.

However, despite their outward silence, their worried gazes frequently fell upon the four children before them, as if trying to convey their deep concern and unease through their eyes.

Finally, Flander broke the silence and slowly said, "To be honest, I don't really know where Oscar is, but Ma Hongjun has sent me a letter every year to let me know he's safe, no matter where he goes. So I have a general idea of ​​where he is right now. As far as I know, he should be in a place called 'Qingfeng Town'."

After saying that, Flander told everyone present the specific name of the town.

He then added, "It's quite a coincidence. I just received a letter from Ma Hongjun yesterday. If you act quickly enough and get there in time, you might have a chance to run into him."

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai quickly took the letter, glanced at it briefly, and replied, "The place where Fatty sent the letter is at the border between the Star Luo Empire and the Star Dou Empire. That's quite a distance from here. Even if we travel day and night without stopping, it will probably take us at least five days to arrive. It seems we really need to speed things up."

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing, who had been listening quietly, suddenly suggested, "In that case, why don't we set off immediately after we finish eating? After all, the first test of Yama has a strict time limit, requiring all tests to be completed within a year. Therefore, the sooner we find Fatty, the sooner we can start to tackle that crucial first test."

As soon as Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, the others nodded in agreement. What she said made a lot of sense. Other things could be delayed, but this matter could not be delayed.

Ning Rongrong nodded in agreement. "Fatty's fire is indispensable. We need to find him quickly, lest he go to the next place."

"But..." Tang Nian felt a little guilty looking at everyone. After all, they were all doing this for her sake, which already made her feel bad. Traveling in the middle of the night made her feel even worse.

Dai Mubai nodded in agreement, "Yeah, Niannian, don't overthink it. Let's finish eating, pack up, and leave as soon as possible."

The group quickly finished their dinner without delay. After bidding farewell to their teachers, the four boarded the carriage and set off to find Ma Hongjun.

As night fell, the carriage rumbled along the silent road. Moonlight spilled down, and the horses' hooves clattered on the cobblestones, disturbing the stillness of the night. Where the wheels rolled, the streetlights cast dappled shadows, as if time were slowly flowing across the stone slabs.

The coachman gripped the reins tightly and cracked the whip from time to time to encourage the horse to quicken its pace.

In the distance, the awning boats swayed gently, their fishing lights twinkling against the starry sky. As the carriages passed by, ripples spread across the water, and the lights reflected on the boats seemed to marvel at the carriages' haste.

Inside the carriage, Ning Rongrong frowned and looked at Tang Nian, asking, "Nian Nian, should we go find Xiao Wu and have her come with us?"

Tang Nian lowered her head and thought for a while, then said, "It's better not to. Everyone in the Spirit Hall knows Xiao Wu's identity now. If Xiao Wu appears now, it will definitely cause a bloodbath. With our current strength, we are not strong enough to protect her. Let her stay in the Star Dou Great Forest for now. That is her home. When I obtain the position of the God of Yama, all problems will be solved."

Ning Rongrong nodded. She knew in her heart that Tang Nian was right; Xiao Wu was indeed not suitable to appear in public right now.

Suddenly the carriage stopped abruptly, and the four people inside stumbled. At this moment, the coachman's voice rang out, "Young master, someone has stopped our carriage. It looks like a Soul Master with considerable Soul Power."

Dai Mubai's status is now vastly different from before. Although he is called a coachman, he is actually a Soul Douluo of the Star Luo Empire. He follows them to protect everyone. Since he can say that this person is exceptionally strong, it seems that he is at least a Title Douluo level expert.

In an instant, the expressions of Tang Nian and the other three became solemn. After exchanging glances, they all prepared to release their martial souls at any time and meet the attack of powerful enemies.

Just at this tense moment, a familiar voice drifted over, "Little Tang Nian."

Upon hearing the sound, Tang Nian's beautiful eyes flickered slightly. Without hesitation, she reached out and lifted the carriage curtain, sticking her head out to look around.

Not far ahead, the person who forced the carriage to stop was none other than Shi Ye.

He stood there quietly, gazing at Tang Nian from afar, a slight smile playing on his lips, a smile that was captivating and enchanting. He was as smooth and delicate as a flawless piece of jade, and as gentle and refined as a gentleman.

For some reason, Tang Nian felt a blush suddenly rise to her cheeks, and her heart was pounding like a deer.

At that moment, Dai Mubai, sitting inside the carriage, asked with a heart full of doubt, "Niannian, is she someone you know?"

Tang Nian quickly looked away and softly replied, "Yes, she's my friend." Then, she looked up at Shi Ye again and asked, "Would you like to come up and come along?"

Shi Ye nodded slightly, a smile on his face as he looked at Tang Nian and nodded.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Once Shi Ye was seated, the carriage resumed its journey. Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with curiosity as they looked at Shi Ye.

Of the Shrek Eight Monsters, only Tang San had ever seen Shi Ye. Although Shi Ye had often secretly come to Shrek Academy to find her before, she always came in secret and was never discovered by others.

For some unknown reason, Tang Nian felt that Shi Ye's gaze towards her tonight was unusually intense, as if it could set her on fire, making her quite uncomfortable.

She lowered her head, gently smoothing the stray strands of hair on either side, and asked softly, "It's already this late, what brings you here?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Ye replied irritably, "Isn't it obvious enough that I came here specifically to find you?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Nian's body trembled violently, as if struck by an electric current. In an instant, her cheeks flushed crimson, and even the roots of her ears blushed with a charming red.
