44: Chapter 44 This kid is definitely carrying a bounty.

Leaving the office, the five of them did not return to the classroom.

Xue Qin muttered in complaint, "Damn it, making us take the slow school bus, that Pan Zi is truly evil by nature!"

"Alright, it's not like we have any choice, right?"

Su Lixia comforted her with a helpless smile.

Xu Qingfang and the other two just kept chuckling.

"I don't usually see you listening to Pan Zi so well!"

Mo Yu's teasing earned him a glare from Xue Qin.

He pulled car keys from his pocket and dangled them in front of everyone: "I've got a way out, the risk is a bit high, but the rewards are great. As they say, fortune favors the bold. If you guys have the guts, how about we skip class right now?"

The two girls were instantly dumbfounded.

They hadn't expected Mo Yu to actually have a car.

Yue Yun and Xu Qingfang grabbed Mo Yu from both sides, their faces full of flattery: "Brother Yu, let's go right now!"

Mo Yu looked triumphantly at Su Lixia and the others.

Xue Qin was quite certain that none of the five had a driver's license.

But she didn't speak up to stop them.

After exchanging a knowing look with Su Lixia, she followed the group.

The group of five swaggered right past the security guard at the gate and were led by Mo Yu to his car.

"This is your car?"

Xue Qin pointed at the wuling divine car in front of her, surprised.

The wuling divine car's exterior was no longer shiny; the matte texture revealed after stripping off the car wrap seemed to tell of the passage of time, and the dilapidated interior facilities were even more aged.

"Older is better, older ones know how to take care of people!"

Xu Qingfang couldn't wait to pull open the passenger door and sit down, fiddling with his phone for a long time before finally connecting to the car audio.

A classic nostalgic song began to play, and Xu Qingfang and Mo Yu immediately became intoxicated, shaking their heads and humming along to the tune.

"The bell rings, the signal to return home~ In his life~"

Xue Qin and Su Lixia were speechless.

They turned to look at Yue Yun, who was sitting next to them with a grim face.

Yue Yun raised a hand to signal them not to speak.

"Don't make noise, I'm waiting for the chorus!"

Well, it seemed none of these three could be counted on.

The two girls helplessly accepted the reality.

Once Su Lixia was moved into the car by Yue Yun, the five of them buckled their seatbelts and set off, leaving the campus area quite smoothly.

Xu Qingfang seemed to remember something.

He asked: "Are we taking the highway?"

"We can't take the highway without a driver's license!"

Mo Yu's mouth curled into a playful smile: "But don't worry about getting caught; this car of mine doesn't even have a license plate!"

Xu Qingfang fell silent.

He turned his head to look at Yue Yun and the others in the back.

Yue Yun's expression was calm, as if he didn't care at all, except his hand was resting on the door handle, ready to jump out at any moment.

Well, that made sense!

Xue Qin wrapped herself up like a zongzi with the seatbelt, raised her arm over her head to grab the grab handle, her expression extremely serious.

Uh, that works too!

Su Lixia was the most composed of them all.

She fixed her posture with the seatbelt, sitting gracefully on the seat with her fair hands folded on her lap.

Wow, impressive!

Xu Qingfang looked at her with admiration.

Su Lixia noticed Xu Qingfang's gaze and smiled, lifting the palm she had been pressing against her lap to reveal the ID card in her hand.

At this moment, her smile looked miserable yet stubborn.

Xu Qingfang let out a sound of despair: "I'm doomed!"

He hurriedly grabbed the grab handle above his head, then took out his ID card and bit down on it, his face showing a look of resignation to death.

The driver, Mo Yu, had put on sunglasses at some point.

"Hold on tight everyone, we're going down a big slope!"

Screams immediately filled the car.

...

Mo Yu slammed the accelerator on the national road, speeding all the way.

By the time Pan Xuan realized what was happening and rushed back to the classroom to check on the five of them, they had long since left Jianghai City.

Although the journey was bumpy, it was relatively smooth sailing; they hurried along and successfully arrived at Nanyuan City, the venue for the Campus Championship, before nightfall.

Nanyuan City, the capital of Nanyuan Province.

As a first-tier city in the East District, its level of prosperity was far beyond what Jianghai City could compare to, and the number of Geniuses far exceeded that of other cities, with students being admitted to Huaxia University every year.

Therefore, Nanyuan City attached great importance to the Campus Championship.

The large screen on the high-rise of the Beast Tamer Association scrolled through the various participating teams and contestants, and the main roads were decorated with lanterns and festoons, looking as lively as the New Year.

"Is this the atmosphere of a big city?"

Mo Yu breathed in deeply, intoxicated.

Xue Qin looked disgusted: "Can you tone it down? This is a big city, don't go showing off your social butterfly syndrome!"

Yue Yun smiled and interrupted Xue Qin's complaint.

"I don't think anyone cares about him."

He raised his hand and pointed to the dense crowd not far away.

The passing crowd had surrounded a man and a woman, watching them argue endlessly with a mix of surprise and curiosity.

The woman was heard accusing him angrily: "Let me make this clear, we can date, and I don't mind whatever you do to me. But you are absolutely not allowed to hit on my mom. If you dare hit on my mom again, I will definitely tell my husband and have my husband beat you to death! Do you hear me? I'm serious, delete my mom's contact information immediately!"

Her accusation caused a stir among the crowd.

The five of them were also very surprised.

Yet the man, despite being accused, was unperturbed.

A careless smile curled on his lips: "I'm not just hitting on your mom, I won't let your husband go either."

The crowd was in an uproar.

Passersby stopped one after another, pulling out their phones faster than drawing a gun to film the man and woman.

The five of them were deeply shocked.

"Is this what a big city is like?"

Xue Qin pulled out her phone with a complicated expression to join the gossipers, not forgetting to bring Su Lixia's phone along too.

Mo Yu took this opportunity to call Yue Yun and Xu Qingfang back.

He handed the tools and license plates to the two: "Come on, help me install the license plate!"

"What's this?"

"A fake license plate I got from a scalper."

Mo Yu squatted in front of the car to install the fake license plate: "It doesn't matter on the national road, but it's easy to get reported in the city without a license plate, so we'll use the fake one to get by for a while."

"You're being a bit too professional, damn it!"

Xu Qingfang looked at Mo Yu with suspicious eyes: "Old Yue, don't you think he looks a bit like someone on a wanted poster?"

Yue Yun was also somewhat uncertain and suspicious.

Mo Yu glanced at them, speechless.

He neatly installed the fake license plate and called for Su Lixia and Xue Qin to get in the car: "Let's go to Nanyuan Hotel first. You two are free to do whatever you want before the competition. Old Xu and I will go to the Nanyuan City Beast Tamer Association; there should be specific information about the Nanyuan City participating teams there, and we can take the opportunity to study it."

When Mo Yu got serious, he really looked the part.

Xu Qingfang naturally wouldn't refuse.

Xue Qin and Su Lixia were also happy with this, taking the opportunity to relax their nerves that had been tense for some time.

Su Lixia looked at Yue Yun and pursed her lips: "Yue Yun, what are your plans for tomorrow? I mean, if you don't have other arrangements, accompany me and Qin Qin to go shopping."

Shopping?

With his own older sister as a prime example, Yue Yun naturally knew full well how fierce girls were at shopping, and decisively chose to refuse.

Xu Qingfang slapped the back of Yue Yun's head, interrupting his spell-casting.

"Shop, we're going shopping!"
