Chapter 1823: Vile Environment

“Mentor, if we trump the other academies on Mount Tai, shouldn’t the academy be paying for our return trip?”

In your dreams!

Mentor Zhou cast her a sidelong glance before leaving to find the captain without a second word.

Qi Xuanxuan stuck her tongue out at his leaving figure and remarked, “This stingy Mentor Zhou acts like you’re forcing him to die every time you make him pay for something.”

“Isn’t that right.” Ma Ta harrumphed. “Let’s go make preparations to get on board.”

“Frankly speaking, Polan Prefecture is quite a distance away. Charging you one hundred spirit currency per person is truly a generous price, yet you also want me to include lunch for you out of my own pocket? No way, that won’t do.”

Look at how expensive food was right now. Even providing one mantou each day was too much.

When Qiao Mu and the others were boarding the ship, they saw that Mentor Zhou was still haggling with the captain over payment.

They covered their faces with their hands as they walked past Mentor Zhou, pretending as if they didn’t know this person.

It was too disgraceful… 

This stingy mentor really could dream. He even wanted the other person to pay for their meals out of their own pocket!

It would take seven days at the earliest to sail to Polan Prefecture. But if something were to happen at sea, it would be hard to say.

“We have to get to Mount Tai by late November, so please pick up the pace if you can.” Mentor Zhou was still pestering the captain.

The students and the other mentors ignored him as they filed into the cabin.

There were 20 to 30 people sitting inside already, and the chairs and benches had also been taken up. Never mind finding a place to sit, they were nearly unable to find a place to stand.

“F*ck, we paid one hundred spirit currency just to get on this crappy boat!” Ma Ta couldn’t help ridiculing. When he turned around and saw several men in the corner ogling Qiao Mu and Qi Xuanxuan, he glowered at them viciously.

“What are you looking at. I’ll gouge your eyes out if you keep staring.”

Those men hastily lowered their heads. As people embroiled in the pugilistic world, they could clearly sense an abnormal pressure emanating from Qiao Mu’s group.

Although the people in this group looked extremely young, they could sense that they were not to be trifled with.

Qiao Mu couldn’t help knitting her brows too.

People from all walks of life, the good and the bad, had congregated in this ship cabin. It was obvious looking at those men hogging the large and comfortable seats in the corner that they were not good people.

Most of the women and children had huddled by the cabin door. When they saw Qiao Mu’s group coming in, they squeezed inside.

However, it truly was too cramped inside, so they weren’t able to make much space.

Qiao Mu nodded gratefully at a woman who was scooting inside with a girl in her arms. Even though she didn’t show much of an expression, she said gently, “It’s fine now.”

Actually, she had experienced more vile environments than this one in her previous life.

It just took some getting used to since she had been living a pampered lifestyle in this life.

Qiao Mu sat down beside the woman with Qi Xuanxuan. She sent Ma Ta and the little fatty looks for them to also find somewhere to sit.

It was rather inconvenient for males and females to crowd together in this ship cabin.

Fortunately, everyone all consciously sat with people of their own gender, forming a particularly narrow divide in the center.
