Chapter 1568: You, Give Up Your Seat!
However, his teammates behind him all looked a bit haughty.
It was particularly so for that ordinary-looking female. After making a sweep of the pa.s.sengers, she pointed at that short-statured mentor from Apex Academy and ordered, "You, give up your seat! I will pay you double the price, how about it?"
The short mentor hesitated for a second before putting on an act by shaking his head. "That won"t do. I need to hurry back to cook for my students! They"re about to starve to death!"
Qiao Mu really wanted to ask this mentor: Did you have a seat? How could you continue the conversation like that?
The ordinary-looking female took out a bulging money pouch from her pocket and tossed it casually at the short mentor. "There are five hundred spirit currency here. Give your seat to us."
"Alrighty!" The short mentor replied in an abnormally loud voice before offhandedly waving his paw at the elder. "Big Bro, I will be leaving first then!"
"Actually, it"s nothing much to get struck by thunderbolts on the way. Getting struck will make you healthier. It"s quite good." After saying this, that mentor jumped off the terrestrial whale without looking back. Afterwards, he really did charge into the Thunder Plains alone.
Soon, everyone heard a bout of thunderbolts coming from not far away. It was probably because that mentor"s entrance into the Thunder Plains triggered the thunderbolt mode…
Qiao Mu observed thunderbolts looming over that unreliable guy who was a shocking money-grubber. This seemed to be vastly different from the image she had in her mind of Apex Academy"s mentors!
The image the little fellow had in her mind of Apex Academy"s mentors was that they had the demeanor of transcendent beings. They had one hand behind their backs as they stood on top of a simmering volcano, looking up at the distant stars in the night sky.
Yet this deceitful mentor in front of her seemed to completely be at odds with the lofty image in her mind.
This was just a petty person who swindled others!
"Alright, we have seven seats!" The ordinary-looking female turned to the dumbstruck elder and shouted, "Arrange our seats. What are you standing there gawking for?"
The elder was probably already trembling his lips in anger by now. He calmed himself before explaining in a low voice, "This miss, you had given that mentor from Apex Academy a large sack of spirit currency, but that was completely useless! He was a cheat! He hadn"t bought a ticket at all. What does giving him money do?"
The ordinary-looking female was stupefied. After a few seconds she scolded uncontrollably, "You d*mn old man, why didn"t you say so earlier! You"re only telling me this after the guy left?"
The elder felt wronged. "Miss had acted so quickly earlier and just took out your money pouch and tossed it to him. This old man couldn"t stop you in time even if I wanted to!"
The elder felt extremely aggrieved.
Was there anything more messed up than this? How could that mentor from Apex Academy just openly take that money pouch. He was truly at a loss for words!
"I don"t care. You must make a spot for us." The female did not let him off.
"Tiantian." The leader creased his brows.
"You, give up your seat!" However, the female turned a deaf ear to the leader"s discreet reprimand. Her mind was full of "having gotten duped," and she just so happened to spot Qiao Mu when she turned around.
Afterwards, she pointed at Qiao Mu and said, "It"ll be you then. Give up your seat."
Qiao Mu"s gaze turned sharp, but before she could flare up, the leader of the seven-person team hurriedly stopped the female and nodded toward Qiao Mu. "Apologies, Little Miss. My team member has behaved rudely."
