Chapter 807: Arrived At The Secret Realm's Location!
Tang Li Xue rummaged through her space pouch several times, but she still failed to find her expedition ticket.
'No way, right?! It should be impossible for me to make such a crucial blunder like forgetting to bring my expedition ticket~! I should have already stored it in my space pouch and never taken it out at all after I got it!' Tang Li Xue screamed in panic inside her heart.
At first, Tang Li Xue was 100% about it.
However, she immediately felt unsure about it after a while as her memories about that matter suddenly became very blurry, and she could no longer remember clearly where she had put her expedition ticket before.
"I... I am really sorry... It seems I lost it..." Tang Li Xue lowered her head while murmuring in a tone filled with helplessness and regret.
Instructor Mei Lan's expression became darker after she heard Tang Li Xue's words, and she really wanted to break open Tang Li Xue's brain so badly to see its content.
Instructor Mei Lan found it very hard to accept how the heck Tang Li Xue could even forget about something that important?!
"This..." Even Zhu Jun and the other exploration team did not know what to say anymore.
On one side, Tang Li Xue was Teacher Li Wei's inscriptionist student, so they clearly could not just kick her back to Myriad Foxes Academy just like that.
On the other side, the expedition ticket has a very important role according to the rules set by Fox Clan's higher-ups.
There were many good reasons why the expedition ticket was given instead of just registering their name to the exploration team.
But the most important reason was to prevent cheating behavior such as the other foxes disguising themselves as the guests and taking over the quota to explore together with the exploration team.
This has already happened many times in the past.
Of course, some of them were forcibly replaced, but many of them were replaced voluntarily.
Well, it meant the exploration guests sold their quota for a lot of credits.
Right now, the exploration team did not dare to make any rash decision because if Tang Li Xue sold her exploration ticket to someone but still managed to participate in the expedition to Secret Realm, it was their exploration team who would be questioned by the Fox Clan's higher-ups later.
When the exploration team was still indecisive, Teacher Li Wei took this time to convince them: "I am sorry everyone, my student is always so clumsy and forgetful. But I can guarantee that she is not a dishonest fox."
"I will be her guarantor. If any troubles arise about this matter, you can just push all of the responsibility to me." Teacher Li Wei said in a reassuring tone.
Tang Li Xue stared at Teacher Li Wei with a pair of tearful eyes filled with gratitude.
She really wanted to hug Teacher Li Wei's thigh and thank him so badly... Okay, it would be too shameful to do it in front of so many foxes, so she decided to not do it.
Zhu Jun and the other exploration team sighed in relief after they heard Teacher Li Wei's words.
However, Zhu Jun's daughter, Zhu Zhenhua, had already thought of a solution to break their embarrassing situation, so she immediately told her suggestion: "Of course, we absolutely trust, Young Master Li Wei and his little student, but I think we still need to do something so we can explain it to higher-ups later."
"That Little Lass can explore the Secret Realm with us later, but we will confiscate all of her gains after the Secret Realm's exploration is over."
"After we return to Myriad Foxes Academy, this Little Lass can just find her exploration ticket at her home and give it to us to redeem back all of her gains in the Secret Realm. How about it?" Zhu Zhenhua asked with a polite smile on her face.
Teacher Li Wei's eyes brightened slightly when he heard Zhu Zhenhua's suggestion, and he immediately praised: "Good idea~! Miss Zhu Zhenhua is truly smart. I really admire you."
Zhu Jun, Zhu Zhenhua, and the other exploration team laughed in relief.
The tense and embarrassing situation was solved just like that, and they returned to the previous joyous mood.
Tang Li Xue who sat on the seat behind Instructor Mei Lan and Teacher Li Wei secretly turned pale in worry.
Zhu Zhenhua's suggestion might be really good, but the problem was that Tang Li Xue still could not remember where she put her exploration ticket until now!
She was also not sure if she could find the exploration ticket in her home after she went back to Myriad Foxes Academy later.
'If I still cannot find the exploration ticket after we return to Myriad Foxes Academy later, does it mean I will never be able to redeem all of my gains in Secret Realm?! Damn it~! What is the difference between that and robbing me?!' Tang Li Xue unhappily thought.
The flying warship silently entered stealth mode once again after Teacher Li Wei, Instructor Mei Lan, Tang Li Xue, and Silly Fox were aboard the flying warship.
The flying warship was covered with a transparent protective formation and the surface turned invisible.
In the stealth mode, the flying warship was completely silent and undetectable even by Nascent Soul Stage's powerful divine sense.
The flying warship continued the journey with speed many times surpassing the sound speed.
All of the cultivators or beasts were usually flying at a height of around 3,000-10,000 meters above the ground, but the flying warship was flying around 15,000 meters above the ground, so it would never accidentally bump into anyone.
No one even realized when such a gigantic flying warship flew and passed right above their head.
If the flying warship did not have the perfect stealth mode, it might already have created many large commotions just by flying around above the huge human cities.
Tang Li Xue had completely lost her mood to explore the flying warship in these few days because of the matter of losing her expedition ticket.
All of the cabin rooms in the flying warship were extremely luxurious, and the scenery outside the cabin room's windows was really magnificent, but Tang Li Xue did not even have a mood to enjoy them.
She could not even sleep peacefully these days because of her worries.
KNOCK~! KNOCK~! KNOCK~!
Tang Li Xue lazily opened the door of her cabin room only to see Silly Fox.
"I already said that I do not want to explore this flying warship..." Tang Li Xue angrily said to Silly Fox.
In these few days, Silly Fox kept asking her to accompany him to look around the flying warship, but she had already rejected him many times.
"No, Little Xue. This time I come is not because of that. Instructor Mei Lan let me convey it to you to prepare to go out soon~! We will arrive at the Secret Realm's location soon!" Silly Fox happily informed Tang Li Xue.
"What?! We have already arrived?! So soon?!" Tang Li Xue exclaimed in surprise.
If they only rode the Wind Riding Bird, it might take them several times longer to reach the Secret Realm's location.
Tang Li Xue clicked her tongue in admiration.
She had to admit this flying warship was truly wonderful. It was not only huge and luxurious, but it was also extremely fast and powerful.
Tang Li Xue woke up the sleeping Yaya and Little Loki, then brought them out of the flying warship along with Silly Fox.
Instructor Mei Lan, Teacher Li Wei, and all of the exploration team had already stood at the flying warship's deck while carefully examining the scenery in front of them.
The flying warship's speed decreased rapidly as it kept flying lower and lower.
Tang Li Xue secretly admired the beautiful green valley stretched out below the flying warship.
Their team jumped down from the flying warship when it hovered dozens of meters above the ground.
They walked further until they reached the gorgeous gorges.
The gorgeous gorges were filled with greenery. There was a high waterfall and a clear fast-flowing river under the waterfall.
While Tang Li Xue admired the beautiful natural scenery, the exploration team began to set up many detection devices in the gorgeous gorges under Qin Sheng's leadership.
These detection devices were to gauge the space fluctuation, so they could find the exact location of the Secret Realm's entrance.
Meanwhile, Teacher Li Wei unfurled the ancient map which illustrated the Secret Realm's location, and examined it carefully with Zhu Jun and Zhu Zhenhua.
Tang Li Xue and Silly Fox also took a peek at the ancient map curiously from behind Teacher Li Wei.
There were unknown words and codes written in the ancient language on the ancient map.
Tang Li Xue did not even have any idea what was written on that ancient map.
*Ding~!
