Chapter 488 Leaving the Underground
Luo Li also smiled and took a deep breath, "The air outside is indeed much better than underground."
Lan Xiaoxiao chuckled, "That's right! I want to lie down right here!"
"There are people there." Yue Hanchuan looked at the stream in the distance and pointed at the totem symbols on the tents. "It's the team from Zesili Imperial College."
Luo Li raised her eyebrows, "That's really a coincidence."
Around the tent, several young men in gorgeous armor were busy. Their figures stretched out in the sunlight, looking both heroic and full of vigor.
Occasionally, a burst of hearty laughter could be heard from the camp, forming a sharp contrast with the tranquility of the valley, yet also blending in inexplicably harmoniously.
There was one person among them that Luo Li and the others were very familiar with. He was the red-haired young man named Yuan Wu whom they met at the city gate when they first entered Caesar many days ago.
Qiu Ye and Shi Ling were unaware of the past feud between Luo Li and Yuan Wu, so they asked directly, "Do you want to go? We finally found another team, how about bringing them into our alliance?"
Luo Li didn't have any objections, "Well, what a pity, please go."
Although Lan Xiaoxiao was somewhat unhappy, seeing that Luo Li had already nodded, she had no objection. "I have no objection, but I'm not going. You guys go."
Bei Mingyu and the others simply sat down cross-legged on the spot, looking as if they were oblivious to what was happening outside.
Seeing this, Shi Ling, Qiu Ye and the others thought for two seconds and decided that only the two of them and Qiao Qingyu would go, while the others stayed where they were and rested for a while.
Shi Ling and Qiu Ye looked at each other, nodded in tacit understanding, told Luo Li and the others about their plan, and then walked towards the team with steady steps.
The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the vegetation, casting dappled shadows on them, adding a touch of uncertainty to the negotiation.
Qiao Qingyu followed closely behind, keeping a distance that was neither too far nor too close, with a look of caution that was unique to her character.
After all, before coming to Caesar, she had heard that there were several disciples with strange personalities in the Zesili Imperial Academy's team this time.
When Shi Ling and the other two approached, the team from Zesili Imperial College was sitting around the fire, sharing dried animal meat. Occasionally, whispers and laughter could be heard, making the atmosphere seem warm and relaxed.
Ming Qingzhu was surrounded in the center, with a unique gentle smile on her face, and the disciples around her were all courteous to her.
Seeing this, Shi Ling spoke first, her voice gentle but clear, penetrating the silence of the camp: "Dear friends of Zesili..."
Ming Qingzhu heard the noise and looked up first. He said gently, "It's Senior Brother Shi Ling. What's the matter with you coming here?"
On the other side, the team from Tianyuan Academy sat in a circle.
Lan Xiaoxiao held her chin in her hand and whispered to Luo Li, "Ali, do we really want to form an alliance with the people of Zesili?"
Hearing this, Luo Li opened her eyes and said calmly, "Shi Ling and the others have already gone. If they really don't want to, why don't you go and call them back?"
Lan Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue and said, "They've already started talking about it. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to go over there now."
After all, in the entire Zesili team, she only particularly disliked Yuan Wu, and she didn't know the others very well.
Luo Li smiled, patted Lan Xiaoxiao's shoulder, and closed her eyes again. "In that case, let's just wait for Shi Ling and the others to come back."
Lan Xiaoxiao looked at An Shuxue and wanted to say something, but she found that except for her and Mu Ze, Bei Mingyu and the others had all closed their eyes like Luo Li.
She and Mu Ze looked at each other and immediately closed their eyes in tacit understanding.
Okay, if you can’t beat them, join them.
But after just a moment, Lan Xiaoxiao opened her eyes again with a restless heart.
There was a subtle atmosphere around, and Lan Xiaoxiao's eyes would occasionally glance into the distance, where Team Zesili and Shi Ling and the other two were sitting around talking and laughing, as if they were good friends who could talk about anything.
Especially the hot-tempered Yuan Wu and the somewhat strange Ming Qingzhu, they also chatted with Shi Ling and the other three with a smile.
She sighed softly, feeling mixed emotions, "I always feel like they're too unreliable!"
Luo Li opened her eyes and smiled slightly when she saw this. There was some deep meaning hidden in that smile. "Don't worry, Shi Ling and the other two are not ignorant and naive."
Lan Xiaoxiao blinked, "I always feel like there's something deeper behind it."
But she didn't quite understand.
But since A-ri had already said so, she could just relax.
"However," Lan Xiaoxiao sighed, "It turns out that experience is an effective way to improve strength. The concentration of spiritual energy in this ancient secret realm is too high. It's only been a few days since I came here, and I've already broken through one star."
Luo Li smiled and said, "Isn't this good?"
"Of course." Lan Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "But I still want to be a little more powerful, so that I can help you."
A'li is really amazing. Now she is the one protecting them, and she also wants to help her so that she doesn't feel so tired.
Luo Li laughed and shook her head, "You are helping me by smiling like this all the time."
Lan Xiaoxiao blinked, her voice soft and artificial, twisting her body, leaning closer to Luo Li and pretending to be shy, "Don't say that, I'm shy~"
Luo Li closed her eyes, pushed the pretty face away, and smiled slightly, "I want to vomit."
Bei Mingyu and the others nodded, "Agree. It's a little disgusting."
Lan Xiaoxiao pouted, "You guys don't know how to appreciate me. I'm so cute."
Luo Li and the others relaxed and started laughing.
On the other side, in the camp of Zesili Imperial College.
After about half a minute, Shi Ling stood up and said with a smile, "It's settled then. Miss Ming, you guys should pack up first. We'll wait for you over there. How about that?"
Ming Qingzhu chuckled and nodded, "Okay, Senior Brother Shi Ling, we will take good care of it."
Shi Ling nodded, and turned with Qiu Ye and the other two to walk towards where Luo Li and the others were.
When Shi Ling walked away, the smile on Yuan Wu's face instantly disappeared, "Junior Sister Qingzhu, why should we form an alliance with them now?"
Those are the top three teams. What can they get after they get in?
Just now, I sent a message to tell him to control his temper and not to scare the guests.
Junior Sister Qingzhu is usually the gentlest person, why would she treat him like this today?
Ming Qingzhu smiled gently, "Shi Ling and Qiu Ye are super geniuses of this generation. It will be beneficial for us to make friends with them."
"Besides, we haven't lost the opportunity to gain points by following them."
Yuan Wu scratched his head. Although he was still a little unhappy, he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to Junior Sister Qingzhu."
Ming Qingzhu stood up and said, "Then everyone should quickly pack up the camp. Shi Ling and the others will be leaving in a quarter of an hour."
