Captain Ning Xue Definitely Likes Him, Right?

After the Giant Lizard Pseudo Dragon incident.

The team set up camp under the command of Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao, steadily and carefully surveying Wasteland City.

There were accidents during this time, they were surrounded and ambushed by demons, Mo Fan and Shen Mingxiao clashed...

With the price of two people's "death," three dark cocoons hung in mid-air. The team adapted to surviving in Wasteland City, and the survey data already covered 80% of its area.

It seemed the mission would be completed soon.

Mu Ningxue and the others were full of fighting spirit.

They were geniuses from the Imperial Capital and Magic City, challenging a high-difficulty mission.

If they could successfully survey a wasteland city that posed a threat from a Commander-level demon, the evaluation of them by the forces behind them would definitely increase significantly!

Sweet success was just around the corner!

Everyone thought proudly.

"If I could also teach that guy Mo Fan a lesson and win Mu Ningxue's favor, this trip would be truly perfect."

At dusk.

Lu Zhenghe watched the slender, silver-haired figure squatting by the stream washing herself, then coldly glanced at Mo Fan, who shamelessly pestered Mu Ningxue.

Originally, it was Mu Ningxue and Lu Zhenghe's turn to fetch water this time.

Lu Zhenghe was happy that he could spend a brief private moment with his beloved Mu Ningxue.

But Mo Fan insisted on following, wouldn't leave, and pestered Mu Ningxue, shattering Lu Zhenghe's fantasy.

"Mo Fan, you really deserve to die!"

Lu Zhenghe was annoyed, but quickly turned into a cold smile, secretly throwing the signal pen into the grass.

"Enjoy yourself for a while longer. Big Brother will take you away tonight. I also have to thank you for clearing out my other love rivals."

Most of the male students from the Imperial Capital Academy liked Mu Ningxue.

Therefore, two people who secretly admired Mu Ningxue stepped forward and confronted Mo Fan. After being defeated by Mo Fan, Mu Ningwei declared them "dead."

When Lu Nian takes Mo Fan away, he will have plenty of time to get closer to Mu Ningxue!

"What are you doing here?"

Lu Zhenghe was startled, discovering Mu Ningwei had appeared behind him at some unknown time. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead as he laughed heartily, "Captain Mu, why are you here?"

Damn it, isn't this guy a cultivation fanatic?

He shouldn't have seen my little actions, right?

"You've been out for quite a while, I came to take a look."

Mu Ningwei amusingly observed Lu Zhenghe's forced composure, patted his shoulder, "I've seen your efforts during this period. I will definitely report your excellent performance to the teacher when we get back."

Lu Zhenghe relaxed, chuckling sheepishly, "Not at all, I can't compare to Captain Mu."

On the other side.

Hearing the words "Captain Mu," Mu Ningxue instinctively turned her head. Realizing it was Mu Ningwei, she paused, shook the water off her arm, and walked over.

Mo Fan followed behind, "Xuexue, shall I use fire to dry you?"

Mu Ningxue slightly shook her head, stopped in front of Mu Ningwei, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I was delayed while washing up. It won't happen again."

Mo Fan clicked his tongue.

He always felt Mu Ningxue cared too much about Mu Ningwei's opinion.

Perhaps it was the pressure of coming from a prominent family, forcing Mu Ningxue to perform well and make up for her initial mistakes.

Mo Fan thought so.

Mu Ningwei smiled, "As a girl, it's fine to like being clean. I was just being sensitive."

Mu Ningxue breathed a sigh of relief. Having just washed, she rolled up her sleeves. Her fair, slender arms were adorned with crystal-clear dew drops. Her delicate face, exquisite like an ice and snow sprite, was exceptionally fresh and tender, beautiful like a lotus emerging from water.

Her eyes gazed at Mu Ningwei, and she softly said, "Let's go back," seeming to only care about being with him.

Mu Ningwei nodded readily, helping to carry a water bucket. He glanced back.

'Lu Nian is quite patient.'

No one noticed that in the grass on the opposite bank of the stream, a high-level mage with a restrained aura and a stern gaze was hidden!

Mu Ningwei's shadow servant discovered Lu Nian, which is why it followed him out. He was worried that Lu Nian would directly use the Rock Demon Eye to sneak attack, kill Mu Ningxue, and then take Mo Fan away.

But Lu Nian did not act rashly.

He was waiting for his subordinates behind him to form a cordon, kill Mu Ningwei and everyone else, and eliminate any possibility of intelligence leakage.

The sky grew dark, with the moon and stars hanging high.

It was Mu Ningxue and Qingqing's turn to guard the first half of the night, while the others, tired from a long day, rested early.

"Aren't you cultivating today?" Mu Ningxue asked.

After setting up camp, Mu Ningwei had almost constantly been meditating on a rock, day and night. His diligent attitude towards cultivation was truly humbling.

"My planned cultivation is complete."

The resource refinement was finished, and his Light Element cultivation had reached the peak of High-level!

Mu Ningwei replied softly to Mu Ningxue, sensing another gaze and finding Qingqing looking at him strangely.

Qingqing had originally intended to chat with Mu Ningxue to pass the time. Just as she was about to speak, she didn't expect Mu Ningxue to strike up a conversation with Mu Ningwei first.

Mu Ningxue definitely likes Mu Ningwei, right?

Well, such an outstanding man, she likes him too.

It's just that I never expected Mu Ningxue, such a cold block of ice, to have emotions like liking someone.

Mu Ningxue followed Mu Ningwei's gaze and looked at Qingqing, confused:

"?"

Qingqing patted her chest, gave a thumbs-up, and turned her back to the two, signaling she had seen nothing.

Mu Ningxue became even more confused.

"Captain Ningxue, is there something you need?"

Mu Ningwei sat on the rock, propping his chin and admiring Mu Ningxue's beauty.

Mu Ningxue cleared her mind and hesitated slightly, "I heard you teaching Mu Nujiao Wind Element magic yesterday. I also have the Wind Element, and I hope to ask for your guidance... May I?"

"Of course. You come from the Mu Clan. While I can't say much about Ice magic, when it comes to Wind magic, my mastery is higher. I can still offer you some pointers."

Mu Ningwei smiled and glanced outside.

The Lord Mages brought by Lu Nian were already surrounding them.

Mu Ningxue's lips curved slightly, and she bowed gently, "Thank you, Mu Ningwei."

Rustle, rustle.

Jiang Yi led two team members to approach stealthily, their eyes fixed on the camp protected by plant magic.

Sixty Lord Mages, each a warrior forged in blood and fire, were launching a night raid in teams of three, determined to leave no target alive.

Their targets were merely a few students from the Ivory Tower. They estimated that by the time these students realized, the attackers would already be inside their tents.

This was for the best. They could die painlessly in their sleep, rather than wake up to futile resistance and a death filled with despair.

No matter what, they were all doomed.

Jiang Yi was excited.

As long as they could capture Mo Fan, the demon experiment would surely see new progress!

They were just some students from the Ivory Tower; dealing with them would be a piece of cake--

"Jingle~" "Jingle~"

"Jingle jingle jingle jingle~~~~~~~~!"

Dense ringing sounds erupted from beneath their feet!

Huh??

Jiang Yi stiffened, lowered his head, and looked at the wild grass by his feet.

In the moonlight, clumps of inconspicuous tender green grass swayed, their bulbous, fruit-like growths emitting crisp sounds like wind chimes.

The ringing sounds overlapped, and countless Bell Demon Grass swayed and danced, joyfully performing a piercing chorus.

Inside the camp, Mu Ningxue's expression changed slightly, and she shouted loudly:

"Enemy! Attack!"

Jiang Yi's face turned grim.

They had triggered a trap and been outsmarted by mere students!

"Heh heh, so what if you discovered us early?"

"In the face of absolute power, obediently dying is the only correct choice."

"All units, receive my order! Fire signal flares, prepare for a full assault!"

A Radiance shot up into the sky, followed by more Radiance points lighting up, encircling the camp.

Teams of mages drew brilliant magical lights, their faces grim.

Mu Ningwei watched them with amusement.

"So weak."

Mu Ningxue tilted her head, hearing this inexplicable evaluation.

She clenched her fists, thinking it was about her, and shouted to awaken her classmates, drawing a star track beneath her feet.

To be surrounded by enemies while she was on watch.

Mu Ningxue, you're really weak!

The silver-haired girl put herself under immense pressure.

But why would mages attack them in this desolate wilderness?
