Chapter 362: The Mysterious Man (1)
Freak and the others climbed onto it as well, with Lan Ming being the last.
“President Lan, we’re about to set off,” a person sent by the Mystic Association headquarters on the spirit beast said respectfully. He had seen the short exchange just now, so he didn’t dare to underestimate these ugly people at all. Alas! They weren’t even afraid of the little princess of the Sun family, so of course they wouldn’t take him seriously.
“Let’s go!” Lan Ming nodded lightly.
After hearing this, the person from headquarters immediately piloted the spirit beast to flew up slowly…
Leng Ruoxue half-leaned on Freak while lying on the back of the enormous spirit beast. This spirit beast was a griffin, a flying spirit beast unique to the Boundless Heaven Continent. Although griffin’s level wasn’t high, and its flying speed wasn’t the fastest, its advantage was that it was large enough, stable, and comfortable. So it could be considered the most popular flying spirit beast on the Boundless Heaven Continent.
“Old Lan, sitting on this griffin is so much more comfortable than sitting on your Jin Hui,” Leng Ruoxue said with her eyes closed.
“But how can a griffin’s speed compare to my Jin Hui?” Lan Ming refused to be outdone. He didn’t want his beast to be looked down upon by this little girl.
“Jin Hui’s back is too hard. So what if he flies fast? Comfort is the most important,” Leng Ruoxue said disapprovingly.
“Lass, you really don’t know how lucky you are. My Jin Hui is very proud. Usually, no one is allowed to sit on his back except me.” Lan Ming had an expression as if she had taken a huge advantage.
“Is that so?” Leng Ruoxue said lightly. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the other griffin flying side by side with them. The people sitting on the griffin were all people brought by Zhou Kun. But the little princess of the Sun family had a stern face, and she didn’t utter a word no matter how Zhou Kun spoke. Obviously, she was very angry just now. Hehe!
Lan Ming followed Leng Ruoxue’s gaze and couldn’t help saying worriedly, “Lass, be careful from now on since you’ve provoked her!”
“Old Lan, you’re mistaken. I didn’t provoke her,” Leng Ruoxue corrected. She had never been a person who liked to cause trouble. If others didn’t provoke her, she would never take the initiative to provoke them.
“Anyway, just be careful in the future.” Lan Ming couldn’t be bothered to argue with Leng Ruoxue. He knew that he couldn’t win against her.
“Old Lan, I know my limits. You should worry more for yourself!” Leng Ruoxue said understandingly. When Lan Ming arrived at the Mystic Association Headquarters, his days would definitely not be good. Alas! He had an irresponsible master who couldn’t even protect his own disciple.
“I’m prepared.” Lan Ming shrugged nonchalantly.
“That’s great.” Leng Ruoxue closed her eyes and took a nap.
After flying for about three hours, they finally reached Carefree City, where the Mystic Association Headquarters was.
The Mystic Association Headquarters and the Alchemist Association Headquarters were both located in Carefree City. This city was only smaller than the three main cities. However, ordinary people were not allowed to enter Carefree City. The prerequisite to enter Carefree City was being a mystic or an alchemist. Of course, people from the other two major associations, the Artificer Association and the Beast Trainer Association, could also enter the city, but they had to have identification.
The two enormous griffins flew directly into Carefree City and landed in front of the Mystic Association Headquarters.
“President Lan, please wait here for a moment. Someone will bring you to your residence later,” the person who brought them said respectfully.
“Okay,” Lan Ming answered.
Leng Ruoxue and the others jumped off the griffin’s back and waited directly at the entrance of the Mystic Association.
At this moment, an attendant walked out of the Mystic Association. After seeing the two groups of people, the attendant went directly to Zhou Kun and his group, bowed, and said very respectfully, “President Zhou, you’re finally here. President Wu missed you two days ago! Come in with me quickly!”
“Okay, please lead the way,” Zhou Kun said very gentlemanly.
“President Zhou, Miss Sun, this way please,” the attendant said respectfully. He completely ignored Leng Ruoxue and the others and directly led Zhou Kun’s group into the main entrance of the headquarters.
When Zhou Kun and his group passed by Lan Ming and the others, they deliberately glanced at them provocatively before swaggering into the Mystic Association.
Leng Ruoxue and the others were completely ignored…
“Damn, these snobs! I’ve never been treated like this before!” Old Zao couldn’t help cursing.
“Why bother with a dog!” Leng Ruoxue said calmly without any anger on her face.
“Lass, aren’t you angry?” Old Zao asked in disbelief. When did this girl’s temper become so good?
Leng Ruoxue looked at Lan Ming with incomparable sympathy and said lightly, “It was expected! What’s there to fuss about?”
“I’m sorry. I’m too useless,” Lan Ming said guiltily. Alas! He might be impressive in the eyes of outsiders, but it was the vice president’s world at the headquarters. He had always been the one being suppressed. Now, Leng Ruoxue and the others were also implicated by him.
“This isn’t your fault. You don’t have to blame yourself,” Leng Ruoxue comforted. In her opinion, the Mystic Association Headquarters had become what it was today because of Lan Ming’s irresponsible master. He was the one who created an opportunity for the ambitious vice president to develop his faction.
“Hey, since no one cares about us, let’s enter by ourselves! It’s not a good idea to stand on the street!” Lin Liang said. He didn’t want to be treated as a clown for onlookers to watch.
“Okay, let’s enter!” Lan Ming took a deep breath and decided. Although this wasn’t in line with the rules of the Mystic Association Headquarters, he couldn’t let Leng Ruoxue and the others stand outside forever!
Leng Ruoxue and the others nodded. They pushed open the main door of the headquarters and walked in directly.
“Who dares to trespass into the Mystic Association Headquarters!” A loud shout sounded in everyone’s ears.
In the blink of an eye, Leng Ruoxue and the others were surrounded by a group of mystics.
