"Rustle, rustle, rustle..."
Sounds came from the grass. Since entering the forest, they had been attacked by a pack of small Spirit Beasts, then ambushed by the Titan Giant Ape. Now, everyone from Shrek Academy was tense, treating every slightest movement in the surrounding grass as a threat.
"Who is it?!"
Zhao Wuji shouted lowly. Seven Spirit Rings lit up beneath his feet as he stared warily at the constantly shaking grass ahead.
"It's me!"
Ye Tianxing laughed heartily, slashing through the roadside grass with swift, decisive strokes. Finding this group after coming from the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest had not been easy; he had nearly gotten lost.
"Ye Ping'an?!"
Seeing that Ye Ping'an was unharmed, Zhao Wuji finally let go of the weight in his heart and sighed in relief. "Where did you run off to, kid? We couldn't find you no matter how hard we looked."
Ye Tianxing said nothing at first, instead observing everyone's expressions.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun wore looks of outrage, as though they were saying, Why didn't you just die in the Star Dou Great Forest? Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing, on the other hand, had visibly relaxed. Ye Tianxing had no grudge against either of them, so they naturally had an ordinary classmate relationship.
As for Ning Rongrong, her expression at this moment was quite thought-provoking.
Ye Tianxing and Ning Rongrong had been at odds ever since he arrived at Shrek Academy. The reason was simple: your father wanted to kill me, so why should I be nice to you?
Ye Tianxing smiled and explained, "With my strength, nothing would happen to me. Since it was my first time in the Star Dou Great Forest, I was inevitably drawn in by the scenery and wandered around a few times.
