"Get to the back!" Holy Son snapped, flicking his robes in frustration as he strode forward, leading the group toward the northern teleportation array.
Fortunately, the place where they had landed was not far from the teleportation array, and it would only take an hour's walk.
For these spiritual realm cultivators, this journey was nothing more than a trifle.
As Holy Son Miyan guided the group to the northern teleportation array within the North w.a.n.gda Forest, they noticed many people congregated near the array from a distance.
It seemed that the Divine Palace had generously extended invitations to numerous academy students for partic.i.p.ation in the secret realm's practical training.
"Make way, quickly, make way, make way!!" A stern voice emanated from the rear of the crowd, startling everyone into swift compliance.
Holy Son Miyan squinted and observed that a white tiger was chasing a lean yet remarkably agile youth who was racing toward them.
The youth's legs moved with incredible speed, enabling him to reach their location with remarkable agility. Without uttering a word, he sought refuge behind Holy Son Miyan and exclaimed frantically, "Oh my goodness, Big Bro, Big Bro, save me, please!"
The white-robed priest at Holy Son's side interjected, "Who's your Big Bro! Don't randomly claim relatives!"
"Hey, Viscount, why are you fleeing? Didn't you say you'd fight and not run? Why act so cowardly?" A somewhat familiar, petulant voice reached Qiao Mu's ears, prompting her to blink involuntarily.
A green figure emerged from behind a tree, her long hair braided and cascading down her back. A pair of incredibly vibrant eyes scanned the area with boundless energy.
When her gaze settled on Qiao Mu, the girl's eyes suddenly gleamed with recognition, and she let out an excited cry.
"Little Junior Sister!"
This "Little Junior Sister" exclamation sent ripples through the vicinity, capturing the attention of those hidden behind the trees.
In the hands of these individuals, some clutched blame spatulas, while others held half-eaten chicken drumsticks or similar food items. At first glance, they resembled a group indulging in a picnic.
The person with the drumstick promptly discarded the greasy snack and excitedly wiped his hands on his clothes before rus.h.i.+ng to Qiao Mu's side. "Oh my goodness, it's really our little stoic pride."
"Ahahaha, the stoic face, what a small world!"
"I never expected Little Junior Sister, who we've been missing for so long, to suddenly appear before us."
Qiao Mu observed them with her usual impa.s.sivity, feeling somewhat perplexed. It was as if her eyes weren't sufficient to take in the scene.
A large group of people converged around her.
The leading maiden with the long braid was Senior Sister Liang Qingqing.
Following her was Wei Nanfeng, the grease-stained fellow.
Subsequently, Senior Brother Situ, who wore a perennial smile and exuded a breezy charm, and Baili Xi's unexpressive companion, who had a stoic demeanor, hurried over.
Yu Xiu, Lightning, Asiatic Apple, Hidden Flower, Hidden Current, Mei'ye—all were present. n.o.body was missing, just as Wei Nanfeng had predicted. It truly was a small world.
Doya advanced enthusiastically, embracing the little fellow tightly. "Little Junior Sister, are you okay?"
He had been yearning for Icebound City lately. Yet, Icebound City had always been isolated from the outside world, preventing him from visiting.
