Bab 99: City of Laining

Lu Wang led the group of apprentices through the winding stone halls to the guest rooms on the east wing.

"I hope you youngsters don't take my unkind welcome to heart. It wasn't intentional. It's just been years since we've received any visitors from the academy." He said with an apologetic smile.

"We understand, Elder Lu. We aren't offended by your actions." One of the white-robed apprentices with dark hair and eyes, Jun Meng, replied unconcernedly.

"Elder Lu, we are here for the Magical Kilin mission. Did the apprentices from the other six academies arrive?" The other third-year, Tu Lei, seriously asked.

"Yes, they arrived yesterday. You'll need to meet them by early morning. I heard they were planning on carrying out the mission on their own. Our Sealand Academy hadn't sent apprentices to the Northwest for years so the other academies are not expecting us to do so this time as well." Here, Elder Lu couldn't help but sigh.
