Chapter 110 All My Classmates Are Cheap
"It's time to go."
Three days had passed since the match against Shrek Academy. Qin Ming glanced back one last time in the direction of Soto City before turning and leaving.
The Royal Fighting Team's nationwide tour challenge has officially come to an end. The team is not in a hurry to return to Tiandou City. After traveling around for the past six months, they are already exhausted both physically and mentally. So, they plan to take this trip back to Guiyao as a vacation to relax and unwind.
The group hiked along the riverbank of the Soto Plain, where various kinds of dandelions grew along the way. The fluffy white flowers swayed in the wind, and occasionally a few fluffy seeds would drift up and fall onto the shimmering river surface reflecting the morning light. For a moment, it really felt like a spring outing and camping trip.
"Hey, why aren't you two married yet?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but mutter. Dugu Yan was putting flowers in Yu Tianheng's hair and even braiding it.
Yu Tianheng let her do as she pleased, without getting angry, just smiling.
Lu Mingfei, who was already twenty-four years old, couldn't stand the mushy behavior of these young people.
Seeing this, everyone started to chatter, discussing everything from asking for a drink of wedding wine to what the couple's future children would be named, and even the order of the godfathers' names, making quite a lively scene.
"What's it to you?" Dugu Yan rolled her eyes at everyone, but her tone suggested she was in a good mood.
Compared to when they first met, Dugu Yan was much more lively and smiled more often, probably because the toxins in her body had finally been brought under control and stabilized. She no longer had that aloof and unapproachable aura she used to have.
Yu Tianheng's suffering has finally come to an end. It is said that they were originally worried that if Dugu Yan's cultivation level were any higher and she couldn't control the poison, they might not even be able to have children.
When you're bored, gossiping is the best way to pass the time.
"Mingfei, what about you? Rongrong and that little girl from the Zhu family have been coming to see you frequently these past three days." Yu Feng winked, his face full of genuine gossip and curiosity, trying to ignite Lu Mingfei's anger.
From their initial chance encounter to Ning Rongrong's enrollment, they were all children of noble families. Even a fool could see what the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was planning.
However, she was the eldest daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and she was about the same age as Lu Mingfei. Her appearance and background were impeccable. In anyone's eyes, they were a match made in heaven.
They had previously made a bet in private about how long it would take for Ning Rongrong to win Lu Mingfei over, but unexpectedly, Lu Mingfei suddenly disappeared for three years without a trace.
They had almost forgotten about it, but who knew that the two parties involved in Soto City would run into each other again? What else could it be but fate?
In addition, the young girl from the Zhu family has been acting strangely these past few days.
Dugu Yan's solo pursuit of Yu Tianheng is already a legendary tale at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, and Lu Mingfei's ability to outmaneuver two opponents is truly exemplary.
"That's completely untrue. And if I were you, I wouldn't say such things. Be careful, or those disciples from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the academy will come after you." Lu Mingfei explained, adding a threat. The worst thing about this kind of thing is that rumors spread: "And that young lady from the Zhu family, she has a fiancé. How dare you spread such rumors about her?"
"Mingfei is right, don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing in the future." Qin Ming knew how serious the problem was, so he quickly interjected to warn them that such things should not be spread in the academy, whether it was Ning Rongrong or Shrek Academy.
"I was just saying this privately," Yu Feng scratched his head, realizing he'd misspoke. "But Ming Fei, what are you really thinking?"
In fact, Yu Feng was joking. Everyone could see that Lu Mingfei's attitude towards the two girls was normal; it was just a meal.
But if he doesn't even respect the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, just how high are Lu Mingfei's standards?
Thoughts? I also want to fly up to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun. This isn't a joke, it's a recommendation for the treasure book "Lu Mingfei Starts from Douluo Continent":
Lu Mingfei glared at Yu Feng inwardly, thinking, "No idea. I don't want to be chopped into mincemeat by Sword Douluo."
However, upon seeing Lu Mingfei's glance, Yu Feng suddenly took half a step back, crossing his arms in front of his chest: "You don't even have any thoughts about this? Mingfei, you're not uninterested in women, are you?"
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but take a half step back. Dugu Yan even shielded Yu Tianheng behind her, afraid that he might see something and be corrupted.
"Holy crap!" Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, then kicked out with a big foot.
Yu Feng flashed behind Qin Ming and burst into laughter: "Just kidding, just kidding."
Everyone burst into laughter.
The two of them ran around Qin Ming for a long time, until Qin Ming was dizzy.
"Alright, stop fooling around. Yu Feng, apologize to Ming Fei." Qin Ming quickly stopped him, "We still have a long way to go."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mingfei, I'm sorry." Yu Feng knew he had gone too far, and after the Shi brothers pulled Lu Mingfei back, he quickly bowed deeply to apologize.
Lu Mingfei wasn't someone who couldn't take a joke, and he was just going along with the atmosphere. Just like he liked to say silly things, it would be boring to walk such a long way without saying something.
Even after the joke, everyone remained in high spirits; that's probably what a true "frenemy" is all about.
Although everyone was chatting and laughing, Lu Mingfei felt more sadness as he walked on the endless plain in front of him.
It's like leaving one's homeland and embarking on a long journey to a distant place, with only a few people accompanying him for a short while, until finally, he is left all alone.
He remembered a line from One Hundred Years of Solitude that said if no one is buried here, you don't belong here.
He didn't know if he would one day be buried in this world, but he knew at least that until then, he didn't belong here.
They traveled at a leisurely pace, stopping frequently along the way. Over several hundred kilometers, they would sometimes camp and rest, and sometimes race and compete. After half a month of bickering and noise, they finally saw the familiar city walls.
He had lived in this city for three years and actually missed it a bit.
"Let's go back to the academy first. The three education committee members are probably getting impatient," Qin Ming said.
In fact, they have always been accompanied by some secret guards. The three education commissioners should have received the news yesterday and are probably waiting for them now.
Even though everyone wanted to go to Tiandou City to celebrate, they weren't in a hurry.
Sure enough, when they rushed back to the Royal Academy, they saw a banner at the entrance welcoming the Royal Fighting Team back.
As soon as they arrived at the mountain, the news spread, and within half an hour, the entrance was packed with people.
At this moment, a gap opened in the crowd, and besides the three education committee members, Xue Qinghe was also there.
"Teacher Qin Ming, thank you for your hard work," Meng Shenji said with a smile.
"The three education commissioners are too kind," Qin Ming quickly shook his head.
"It's good that you're all back safe and sound. Mingfei, you're finally back too." Meng Shenji looked at Mingfei. Although he had received the news of Lu Mingfei's return to the team a long time ago, he only felt completely at ease now.
"I'm sorry to have worried the three education committee members." Lu Mingfei scratched his head sheepishly.
"It's good to be back." Bai Baoshan and Zhilin stepped forward and patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder. Feeling the genuine Soul Master level soul power, they were so happy that their beards almost stood on end.
"Brother Lu, you finally remembered to come back." Xue Qinghe said in a joking tone.
"Brother Xue, it's been a long time."
Three years have passed, and Xue Qinghe's self-cultivation skills are clearly much better now, but Lu Mingfei seems to feel a little... sour about it?
