When he stepped out of the Profound Palace Building, five passenger vehicles were waiting in the parking lot. Two were already full and had started to drive off when he heard Tan Zhi's voice.
"Chen, over here."
Chen Chuan saw Tan Zhi waving at him from one of the vehicles. Seeing that there were only a few people inside, he walked over and boarded. He went up to Tan Zhi but didn't sit down. Instead, he patted his shoulder and said in a low voice, "Tan, the weather's nice today. I'm going to sit up front where I can get some sun."
With that, he left the back of the bus and took a seat near the driver, placing his Snow Monarch Blade within easy reach.
At first, Tan Zhi was confused. But then he saw the uniform Chen Chuan was wearing, and something seemed to click. His expression grew wary, and he hunched down slightly in his seat.
More students filed out of the building. Once the vehicles were full, they departed in order, heading for the arena.
