253 : A Mountain of Demon Beast

Chapter 253

A Mountain of Demon Beasts
Translated by Kollumceti of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Elder Gong seemed to be aware of his doubts, thus he told You XiaoMo about the crystal orbs. It was not a confidential matter, and there were many, excluding the new students, in the academy who know of it.

Of course, it was a coincidence that Elder Gong went to check on the crystal orb. The crystal orbs were normally locked in a room. Only when there were problems, such as when the crystal orb cracks, would they enter the room to change it. After all, there were students who did not wish others to know that they had gained a level.

After he finished hearing about the crystal orb, a drop of cold sweat dripped down from You XiaoMo’s forehead.

SheQiu and the others were still cultivating in his pavilion. He did not bring them out along with him, and neither did he put them back in his dimension.

If the crystal orb representing his pavilion was seen by Elder Gong, he would definitely suspect that there were people in his pavilion.

However, looking at Elder Gong’s reaction, it seemed that he had only seen the crystal orb for Ling Xiao’s pavilion. So it was highly probable that he had not seen his crystal orb.

“Elder Gong, is there something you need me for?” You XiaoMo tentatively asked.

Elder Gong shook his head and replied: “I just came over to have a look. But since you have gained a level, Class Three would not be suitable for you. It’s better if you tell Ning Jing-daoshi of this as soon as possible so she can reassign you.”

You XiaoMo immediately nodded his head, “Yes I will. Many thanks for Elder Gong’s reminder. If there’s nothing required of me, may I leave now?”

Elder Gong waved his hand and replied, “Go ahead.”

He needed to tell SheQiu and the others of this as soon as possible. You XiaoMo dashed towards his pavilion as though he was running for his life.

In the end, he did not get to see Ling Xiao. When he returned, he immediately told SheQiu and the rest about the crystal orb. After hearing him out, the group fell into a silence.

To be frank, to ask them to give up such a good cultivation spot was impossible. But if they continued, they could be discovered by Elder Gong. It would not be a big deal if they were found as they are contracted demon beasts. However, You XiaoMo did not intend to show his trump card, SheQiu, now.

“Actually, there’s no need for you to worry so much.” SheQiu said as he and the team yawned.

“What do you mean?” You XiaoMo asked.

“Think about it carefully. Elder Gong only went into the house to see what happened when the crystal orb cracked. Although I have not personally seen the crystal orb, it shouldn’t be that fragile. The reason for it cracking could be due to other circumstances. Thus, the main reason would be that…you are just more unlucky.” SheQiu replied.

“… …” This was not an answer that makes one happy.

But it was not unreasonable for SheQiu to say that. After it thinking through, You XiaoMo was less confused. When he finished asking after their wellbeing, he ran upstairs to consolidate the realm of his fifth level.

After You XiaoMo left, XiaoHei opened his eyes and glanced at the stairs. Then he turned to SheQiu and coldly asked: “Master has advanced?”

SheQiu leaned his chin on his palm, and lazily said: “En, he’s at the fifth level.”
