Pfft!
Seeing Xiao Yu's feigned modesty, Yue Yao laughed. "Without any Fire Energy, I won't have to worry about them robbing me again." Her two teammates had naturally seen what happened as well. Xiao Yu glanced at them and said, "You can transfer your Fire Energy to me first too."
The two did not hesitate much and directly transferred the Fire Energy from their cards to Xiao Yu. After all, with just the three of them, there was no way they could pass if they encountered Inner Academy students later on. Xiao Yu then gave them a map of the forest and smiled apologetically at Yue Yao. After seeing her nod, he led the others deeper into the forest once more.
Yue Yao watched Xun'er following behind Xiao Yu, a crescent moon reflected in her eyes, which held a trace of envy.

The two exchanged a glance and nodded slightly. Then Xiao Yu and the others disappeared into the woods.

"I really envy you."
After leaving Yue Yao and the others' sight, Xiao Yu did not lead the group around aimlessly. Instead, he found another spot and gathered everyone to discuss something.

"Exactly."
"So what you mean is..."
