Chapter 301 Departure, Heading to Mingdu
"This competition was so much easier than the last one..."

"Well, because we've all grown up and become stronger, I plan to leave temporarily for Mingdu and come back for the last match tonight."

On their way back to the lounge, Ning Wuque and Bei Bei walked ahead of the group, chatting casually. Bei Bei stretched her arms with a relaxed expression, her eyes filled with reminiscence.

Thinking back to the last competition, he had to do his best to win every match, watching his teammates and friends get seriously injured one after another.

Now... haha.

Turning her head, Beibei listened to Ning Wuque's voice and asked with a puzzled expression. She wasn't asking what he was going to do, but rather why he had come back after leaving.
"The competition doesn't require players to be present, so there shouldn't be any need for you to come back again. If there's anything important, I'll pass on the key information I gathered today to you tomorrow, just like before."

"Thanks, but I'm worried that the organizers have arranged Fengmei's match for the last game today. If I don't come, she'll definitely make a fuss. Sigh... You know, after marriage, many things aren't as casual as when you were still a couple."

Sighing, Ning Wuque didn't want to make the round trip if he could, but his brother-in-law, Ning Wuyou, had written to him last night, asking him to come over, preferably today or tomorrow during the competition.
"I don't have much time to spend with them, so...emmm, I will try my best to consider their feelings, just as they always have me in their hearts."

Shrugging, Ning Wuque reached out his left hand and scratched his head like a beginner scratching his head. He wasn't very good at taking care of people, but at least he was sure he could stand by their side when they needed him.

Beside her, Beibei nodded slightly to show she understood, and at the same time sighed:

"You two have such a good relationship. Okay, you can go without worry. I'll take care of everything here. If you don't get here by 3 p.m., I'll have Sanshi come and pick you up."

"Hey~ Don't talk about me, how are things between you and senior Zhang Lexuan? When are you planning to... hmm~"

Ning Wuque stretched out his arm and gently nudged Bei Bei's arm, raising his eyebrows with a gossipy look on his face.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Beibei blushed reflexively, as if he had thought of something. He then lowered his head and scratched the back of his head, much like Ning Wuque had done before, his tone somewhat restrained and uncertain:

"It's just...you know...my ancestor has already chosen a date, which is...emmm...before he passed away, he said he wanted to use this joy to dilute some of the sadness that was about to come, and also...thank you, Wuque."

"No need to thank me. After all, I also need Elder Mu's help to improve my skills. In a way, I should be considered half his student. He has indeed taught me everything I need without reservation."

"No, without you, I might not know what to do now. Without the words of the Ancestor, I don't know what irreversible things I might have done."

As Beibei spoke, an indescribable light flickered in her eyes.

Xiaoya's departure was a huge blow to him. During that time, he couldn't listen to anything and spent his days drinking with his good friend Xu Sanshi to drown his sorrows. If Xuanzu Mu'en had passed away at this time, he really didn't know what he would have done.

Perhaps he will leave the academy to track Xiaoya's movements alone, and then bury the last bloodline of the Holy Light Dragon on this path?
Or... become a useless alcoholic?

He didn't know that he had imagined many different endings, because at that time he really had no hope at all, but fortunately none of that happened. Now he was walking on a path he had never even thought of, and he had even reunited with Xiaoya.

Although... they were strangers when they met again...

The voices gradually faded away. Ning Wuque didn't say anything, but simply patted Bei Bei's shoulder and walked forward together. The six reserve team members behind him swallowed hard, listening to the information-heavy conversation without daring to utter a sound.

It seems they've learned something incredible...

Without exchanging a word, the group quickly returned to the rest room arranged for Shrek's team at the competition venue. Several of the regular players also returned from the viewing platform in the rest room.

After returning to Ning Tian and Wu Feng's side, Ning Wuque briefly told them that he was leaving.

"If it's something important, there's no need to rush back. It's alright. Besides, we might not even be able to hold the last match of the day for our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School."

When Ning Wuque said he would try his best to get back before the final match, Wu Feng grabbed his arm and shook her head. She could be reckless and arrogant at times, but she wasn't ignorant.

"It's just a competition. This competition will last for at least two months. Missing one game won't be a big deal. I should focus on my own things. Anyway, I'm just here to have fun. Even if I don't get a high ranking, it doesn't matter. I've already won the championship once."

"Fengmei... um, I promise you, I won't come back if things are complicated or urgent, but I promise I will try my best to get back before the competition starts."

"Okay! Let's have a goodbye kiss!"

With lightning speed, Wu Feng grabbed Ning Wuque's head and smacked him hard on the mouth before pulling away.

The latter smiled and shook his head without saying anything. After kissing Ning Tian goodbye, he got up, pushed open the door of the lounge, and headed towards Mingdu.

…………

at the same time.

In the highest spectator stands at the competition venue, a young man dressed in academic attire approached Ju Zi shortly after Ning Wuque left, pretending to report on important documents. He then handed her the materials in his hand while giving his report.

Not long after, as the clerk left, Orange opened the document from a discreet and natural angle and took a closer look.

She put away the documents, went to Xu Tianran's side, and whispered in his ear:

"Your Majesty, the Ning Wuque you asked me to keep an eye on has just left the competition venue. It seems he is heading towards Mingdu alone. Should I send someone to follow him?"

"Uncle Long?"

Without a reply, Xu Tianran turned to a middle-aged man in a black hooded suit beside him and asked a question.

The latter shook his head:
“That kid has a Super Douluo with spatial attributes by his side. He thought he was very well hidden, but I discovered him when he tested us yesterday. I am not proficient in spatial abilities, and he was determined to escape, so I couldn’t catch up with him.”

"It seems there's no way to track him down. Oh well, just have someone keep an eye on where he goes."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
