<h2>Chapter 792: Encourage</h2>


    “How long does it take to recharge the portal fully?” Xiao Luo asked.


    “At least one full day.”


    Hu Qingsong exhaled with a worried look. One full day was enough for Elder Zheng to react.


    “Mentor Hu, what should we do? Should we hide Brother Xiao and Miss Ghost?’


    Luo Jinshi suggested after some thought. “Why don’t we book an inn outside the academy for them? Let us wait for the teleportation portal toplete recharging and see if we can sneak them in through the crowd, avoiding Elder Zheng’s informants.”


    “I am afraid that is our only option now. However, we cannot book the inn within the city. Once the news of Zheng Feihan’s injury gets to Elder Zheng, he would send many students tob through the city streets. It would not be a good idea to stay in any of the inns in town,” Hu Qingsong said with a frown.


    “So, what are you saying?” Luo Jinshi asked, slightly puzzled.


    “The most dangerous ce is the safest ce. Go get two sets of student uniforms,” Hu Qingsong said.


    Luo Jinshi suddenly got it and eximed, “I knew it! You are disguising them as the academy’s students. There are tens of thousands of students in Mu City Academy. It would be the safest to hide them among the students. I’ll get the sets of student uniforms immediately.”


    He ran off when he finished speaking.


    “We just have to wait here,” Hu Qingsong told Xiao Luo.


    Xiao Luo nodded and turned to look at the teleportation portal on the field. It seemed heaven had again yed a prank on him, making him run into so much trouble.


    It did not take too long for Luo Jinshi to return with the student uniforms.


    After changing into the uniforms, both Xiao Luo and Ghost toured around the academy. ording to Hu Qingsong, once Elder Zheng received the news, he would send many people to search for them. Since they would not find them outside, they would turn to Hu Qingsong and Luo Jinshi to question their whereabouts. Hence, they should not be together for the moment.


    “Handsome Luoluo, they are such good people. They barely know us but have tried so hard to help us,” Ghost said. She was strolling beside Xiao Luo.


    Xiao Luo raised his brows. Then he replied, “They are indeed good people.”


    It did not matter if Luo Jinshi and Hu Qingsong helped them or not. But it was an undeniable fact that these men offered their help wholeheartedly, anyway.


    “Good people don’t live long in this era. One has to be an absolute jerk to live long!” The duck emperor suddenly remarked.


    “Is there such a saying? Is Lil’ ducky making it up?” asked Ghost, unconvinced of the saying.


    “Making it up? I will be overjoyed if I could make up such a philosophical statement. Ask this goddamn rascal if what I said is true,” Duck Emperor answered.


    Although he would like to refute it, Xiao Luo could not disagree with themon saying in his Original World. So, he nodded to acknowledge it.


    “If that’s the case, then I shall not be a good person. I will be a jerk, hehe…” Ghost said, giggling.


    “A jerk is a bad person, little girl. You are far from being that,” Duck Emperor corrected her.


    “Then, what should I do to be a bad person?” Ghost asked.


    Duck Emperor coughed and flew to her shoulder. He said sternly, “First, you gotta do something bad!”


    “Something bad?”


    “That is right. A bad person would, of course, do bad things.”


    “That makes sense. What bad things should I do?” Ghost was eager to try.


    Duck Emperor thought for a moment before looking around. He turned to her excitedly and said, “Do you see the trash can over there?”


    Ghost nodded. “Yes.”


    “Walk over there, kick it over with one foot, and let the trash spill all over the floor. That’s a bad thing.”


    “Is it that simple?” Ghost asked.


    “It’s that simple,” Duck Emperor replied and nodded like a noble.


    “I’m not going to,” Ghost said.


    When he heard that, Duck Emperor almost fell to the ground in disappointment. He had been patiently encouraging her for so long, yet ended up being rejected.


    “Why?”


    “I can smell the stench from here. I don’t want to dirty my feet.”


    Ghost pouted and said, “Something else.”


    “Another task?”


    Duck Emperor stroked his chin and pondered. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. “Do you see thetrine over there?”


    “I see it. I see it.” Ghost became excited again.


    “Pick up a rock and hide by the side. When you see someone poop in it, throw the rock into thetrine. Hehehe… the wastewater will ssh all over his butt. Just thinking about that scene makes me excited.” The Duck Emperor cackled like a demon. He was instigating others to do bad deeds and revealed a sly smile.


    Ghost listened attentively at first, but she soon frowned. “No, I’m not going.”


    “Why?” The emperor responded in English.


    “What are you saying?” Ghost asked, a little confused.


    “It’s truly sad to be uneducated. I’m merely asking you why,” Emperor Duck responded, feeling superior because of his knowledge of the Englishnguage.


    “Because it stinks worse than kicking a trash can,” Ghost said.


    “Little girl, you’re truly hard to please. I’ll give you another idea.” Duck Emperor stroked its chin and pondered carefully once more.


    Thud!


    Suddenly, Xiao Luo gave the duck a knock on his head.


    Duck Emperor saw stars, and his thoughts were interrupted. He covered his head and red at Xiao Luo angrily. “What are you doing?”


    “Are you done yet? Don’t you know how to teach people to be kind?” Xiao Luo asked in a deep voice.


    “It was the little girl who said that she wanted to do something bad. What has it got to do with me?” The Duck Emperor quibbled.


    “I just want to beat you up. Any questions?” Xiao Luo said.


    The sentence left Duck Emperor at a loss for words. He couldn’t win against Xiao Luo in a fight, and he couldn’t win in an argument either. He tried to reason, but Xiao Luo was only willing to use force to solve problems. So should he confront Xiao Luo? Errm… forget it.


    “Hey, which department are you guys from? Why are you wandering around here?”


    A loud and clear voice suddenly echoed across to them. Xiao Luo and Ghost turned to look and saw a group of Mu City Academy students, and the one who shouted was among them.


    “We are from the Publicity Department,” Xiao Luo responded with the primer that Hu Qingsong had prepared for him in advance.


    “Since you are from the Publicity Department, stop wasting time. Quickly inform everyone to report to Elder Zheng.”


    With that, the group of people hurried past them.


    “D*mn it, looks like the news has circted. That Elder Zheng is gathering everyone to search for us, even if they have to dig three feet underground,” Duck Emperormented as he stared at the departing backs of the students.


    “I’m thrilled about it. It is as much fun as ying hide-and-seek with Louis and the others when I was a kid,” Ghost said excitedly.


    Xiao Luo was speechless for a moment. Then he scanned his surroundings and spotted a mountain. On it, he saw a forest and realized it would be good to hide there while the entire academy was on the alert.


    Xiao Luo pointed at the mountain. “Let’s go there.”


    “That’s a good idea. If we hide there, they definitely won’t be able to find us.” Ghost’s almond eyes glowed as she chuckled.


    “Little girl, you have a big heart,” the Duck Emperor said as he put his hand to his forehead.
