My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker - Chapter 2961

Chapter 2961 Mysterious Confidence
How could Qiao Mu discern that this young woman held hopes of relying on sheer luck?

Following the mission’s acceptance, they joined a sizable group of students exiting the academy.

It was already ten in the evening. The headwind blew with a moderate chill, but it was no longer bone-piercing. After all, April was approaching, heralding the onset of spring.

Qiao Mu walked beside Mo Lian, and as he held her hand, she felt warmth seep into her palm.

Mo Lian had a fiery constitution and wielded sacred fire. His hands remained dry and warm throughout the year, which she particularly cherished.

In contrast, her own four feet were perpetually cool, and her nervousness compounded the cold, leaving her palms clammy and uncomfortable.

Mo Lian reached out and playfully pinched her soft cheeks. “Qiaoqiao, there are more than ten of us. How about splitting into three teams to search the city?”

“That’s a good idea. Three to four people per group. We should cover the inner city before nightfall,” Qi Xuanxuan eagerly agreed.

Qiao Mu stole a sidelong glance at the young woman and inwardly raised an eyebrow.

Could it be that Qi Xuanxuan harbored some unusual notions, such as “Our team might successfully complete this Level Four mission” or “When it comes to luck, I trust Qiao completely”?

The usually reserved girl spoke up, “Xuanxuan, we’re simply going for a casual stroll.”

There was no need to be so proactive!

Plenty of optimistic individuals were present, after all. Several hundred people were eager to rescue Fifth Young Sir Qin from his predicament. Establishing ties with the Qin Estate offered numerous benefits.

Qi Xuanxuan hastily added, “Qiaoqiao, you must believe in luck. I have a hunch that we’ll encounter something special.”

Where did this newfound confidence originate?

Qiao Mu shot Qi Xuanxuan an exasperated glance but decided not to pursue the conversation any further.

Qi Xuanxuan divided the team into three groups, leaving Crown Prince Mo and Qiao Mu’s team in the background. With a cheerful smile, she pulled her teammate away under the approving gaze of Crown Prince Mo.

Qiao Mu shook her head in amusement and turned to Mo Lian. “Let’s find a teahouse and take a seat.”

The prospect of locating Qinxiu and Ming Bao didn’t weigh heavily on Qiao Mu’s mind. Even if they were still within the inner city, they wouldn’t be able to leave for a while. The Dean had ordered the city sealed as soon as it was confirmed that the two students had gone missing.

At this moment, a commotion reached their ears. Passersby and vendors setting up stalls immediately grabbed their tools and rushed toward the source. “What’s going on? Where is it? Show us the way.”

“Everyone, be cautious! This malevolent boundary is quite formidable. We’ve already sought assistance from Dean Yun up at the Ethereal Peak. If Dean Yun descends, we’ll surely be able to handle this evil entity.”

“That’s correct. Demons are surely causing this trouble.”

“Could it be a spirit or ghost?”

“Regardless of the cause, it must be eradicated this time.”

“Master, Little Fourth is nearby,” Qiuqiu’s sudden statement caused Qiao Mu’s brow to furrow.

What kind of malevolent boundary was this, and could it have any connection to that imp…?
