Chapter 979 - Waited for Me (2/2)

“No! I won’t let you go! Who let you sneak out to drink? I’ll tell my grandma when I get back.”

Seeing the grandfather and granddaughter, the others couldn’t help laughing.

Although Luo Dongqing was a master at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm, he was no match for his granddaughter and could only look at Qin Haodong for help.

Qin Haodong said, “Well, it’s all in the past. Let Director Luo go first.”

“Hmph. I’ll let you go this time because my Little Brother pleaded for you. Next time, I’ll directly pull out your beard.”

The Little Witch angrily let go of Luo Dongqing.

Luo Dongqing tidied up his beard and awkwardly said, “Little Qin, I didn’t expect you to come to Rosefinch Kingdom. And, what happened yesterday?”

Qin Haodong gave a brief account of his experience and then said what had happened after they encountered the people of the Dragon Academy yesterday from beginning to end.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Little Witch said, “Geezer, look at the Dragon Academy’s director, who has been following and protecting his students. Where have you been?”

Thinking that Qin Haodong had almost been killed by Li Tianba yesterday, she was full of anger.

“Well…” Luo Dongqing awkwardly said, “Yesterday, I went around the mountains and happened to meet the Red-eyed Spirit Monkey who brews the monkey wine.

“When those monkeys were not around, I secretly drank a little. I didn’t expect that the wine would have such a strong aftereffect that made me drunk.”

The Little Witch angrily said, “You unreliable geezer. When I go back, I will tell my grandma to make you quit drinking!”

Luo Dongqing quickly said, “My dear granddaughter, please don’t do that. Just this once, I promise. It won’t happen again in the future.

“At most, I will find Li Tianba of the Dragon Academy to avenge you later.”

The Little Witch snorted and didn’t say anything else.

Luo Dongqing said, “In fact, it’s not my fault. It’s Little Qin’s fault. After he disappeared, I drank up all the wine. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have to compete with a group of monkeys for wine.”

After that, he said to Qin Haodong, “Hurry up and get some more wine for me. My mouth has been dry and tasteless these days.”

Thinking of how the geezer had risked his life to protect him in the Tortoise Spiritual Spring, Qin Haodong was very moved. He took out ten boxes of Wuliangye Liquor from his Storage Ring and handed them over.

“Great! I finally have wine.”

Luo Dongqing immediately put away the wine, as if afraid of being robbed.

The Little Witch said, “Geezer, what are you doing here? Are you here just to ask for wine from my Little Brother?”

“What are you saying? I certainly have something important to do.”

Luo Dongqing said, “Tomorrow is the day of the exchange conference between the Four Kingdoms. Just now, the chief steward of the Rosefinch Kingdom let me participate in a meeting where we discussed the rules of the competition tomorrow.”

Qin Haodong said, “Haven’t the rules of the competition been set in advance?”

Luo Dongqing said, “That’s not necessarily the case. Usually, the rules continue to be used every year. However, they will be changed sometimes.”

Qin Haodong said, “Are we all going?”

“The teacher in charge and the leader must be present. It’s optional for the rest.” Luo Dongqing said. “Now, you’ve returned. I’ll leave the leadership to you. Don’t even think of slacking off.”

Qin Haodong nodded. With his ability, he deserved to be the leader of the current team from the Tortoise Academy.

“Come on. Let’s go together now.”

After that, Luo Dongqing led the way. The others had nothing to do and left the General Mansion with Qin Haodong.

The meeting location was the Martial Arts Practice Field of Rosefinch Kingdom, which was also the place for the competition tomorrow.

When he arrived there, he saw Li Mengyao with the people from the Dragon Academy walking toward him.

Li Mengyao and the others had waited until dawn, but Li Tianba did not come back.

Rosefinch Kingdom notified everyone to attend the meeting. Thus, as the leader, she could only lead her people in.

Lu Mingju asked, “Your Highness, do you think something happened to the Associate Director?”

Li Mengyao frowned and said, “I’m also worried about this. But Associate Director Li is a master at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm. Even if he met a strong enemy, he could run away. He won’t disappear so quietly.”

Pang Ban said, “But Director Li hasn’t come back yet. Where could he have gone?”

Li Mengyao said with a serious expression, “I don’t know. Normally, Director Li is a person who cares about the overall situation. He won’t miss today’s meeting so casually.”

At this time, Lu Mingju pointed to the front and said, “Your Highness, look, the people from the Tortoise Academy.”

Everyone looked in the direction she was pointing. Zhao Long said, “That Qin Haodong is fine. Did Director Li fail?”

Lu Mingju said, “Even if the assassination failed, Director Li should have returned to us. He wouldn’t have disappeared so quietly.”

Li Mengyao said, “Let’s go over and ask. Maybe we can get some clues from the Tortoise Academy.”

After that, she took everyone straight to Qin Haodong and asked with a sullen face, “Qin Haodong, do you know where our Director Li is?”
