It was like he had a worm in his stomach.
Xiao Lan clasped her arms to her sides, her eyes scrutinizing him. "Brother, are you sure you want to keep hiding things from me?"
"Xiao Lan, some things are better left unknown."
Zhang Banxian tried to help Jiang Chen out of a tight spot, but it only provoked a more intense reaction from Xiao Lan.
"What is it that I can't know? In your eyes, I'm just a child, a burden!"
"So, you all know what's going on, and only I'm left in the dark like an idiot."
"In Brother's heart, am I not important at all? Is that why you always exclude me from things first!"
As she spoke, Xiao Lan's eyes turned red, and large teardrops began to fall.
With a "drip," one landed on the ground, creating a beautiful splash.
Jiang Chen couldn't stand seeing Xiao Lan cry.
Every time she cried, he felt a thousand times more heartbroken than she did.
He had been in this异世界 for three years, and his Supernatural Ability had yet to awaken.
When almost everyone mocked him as useless, only Xiao Lan had stayed by his side, encouraging him.
It was Xiao Lan who had accompanied him through these dark three years.
She already held an extremely important place in Jiang Chen's heart.
Therefore, he didn't want her to cry.
He thought that if one day he could, he would want to give her all the best things in the world.
Because she deserved it!
Jiang Chen took a step forward and pulled Xiao Lan into his embrace.
He whispered, "Don't cry anymore. Seeing you cry breaks my heart."
"Whatever you want to know, Brother will tell you!"
"Then why did you come back so late today?"
"Today..."
Jiang Chen roughly recounted the day's events.
These were details that even Zhang Banxian was only now learning clearly.
Although he had been in contact with Fatty, Fatty had only given him a general overview.
He had said he would explain in detail tomorrow.
Now, hearing Jiang Chen say that the Demon's Heart had been destroyed, he was truly overcome with emotion.
He thought, Jiang Chen is truly amazing.
He was practically a once-in-a-century prodigy.
No, he was a once-in-a-millennium prodigy.
In the short time since awakening his Supernatural Ability, he had not only eliminated two S-Class Demonic Beasts but also destroyed the heart of a Super S-Class demonic beast.
This record alone was probably comparable only to Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Dragon Tiger Mountain.
For a moment, Zhang Banxian could only feel admiration for Jiang Chen.
After Jiang Chen finished speaking about destroying the Demon's Heart, he didn't continue.
After all, it was better for Xiao Lan not to know the rest of the story.
Otherwise, she would likely not approve of him continuing to take risks.
Xiao Lan listened attentively and then nodded. "Brother, you're truly amazing, to have achieved so much."
"But in the future, if you're going to do something so dangerous, you must tell me beforehand. You're not alone; you have me, and I want to face it with you."
Looking at Xiao Lan's sincere eyes, Jiang Chen moved his lips and said, "Next time, you'll have a part in my great achievements."
"Okay, it's a deal. Pinky promise!"
Xiao Lan didn't notice that Jiang Chen was holding something back.
She thought to herself, next time her brother encounters danger, she'll be there too, and she'll be able to help him with her Supernatural Ability.
Nothing would make her happier than that.
After all, her brother was the most important person in her world.
Jiang Chen looked at Xiao Lan's outstretched pinky finger and nodded, saying, "Pinky promise!"
"Alright, now that Uncle-Master Jiang is back safely, my guarding duty for today is considered complete. It's getting late, so I should be heading back."
"It's so late now, Brother Zhang Banxian should just stay here tonight!"
Xiao Lan said, glancing at the clock on the wall.
It was already past eleven at night.
It was indeed quite late.
Zhang Banxian wanted to refuse. He had a teleportation talisman, and with it, he could quickly return to his own place.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen also said, "It is indeed late!"
"Zhang Banxian, why don't you stay at my place for the night."
Zhang Banxian, who was about to take out his teleportation talisman, could only put it back. He then said, "Then I'll gratefully accept your offer!"
"I'll go prepare some water for washing up now!"
With that, Xiao Lan quickly went to the bathroom to prepare.
Jiang Chen and Zhang Banxian were left at the doorway.
Jiang Chen said to Zhang Banxian, "Let's wait inside!"
"I'm a bit tired today."
Saying this, Jiang Chen led the way into his room, with Zhang Banxian following closely behind.
Seeing Jiang Chen sit on the edge of the bed, he said to Zhang Banxian, "Sit!"
Zhang Banxian looked around Jiang Chen's room and found that there wasn't a single chair. He could only sit on the edge of the bed.
As soon as he sat down.
Jiang Chen opened his mouth and said, "I didn't finish that story!"
With that, Jiang Chen continued with the rest of the story.
"So, Uncle-Master Jiang means that we need to protect this city from being destroyed by the Super S-Class Demonic Beast, and we not only have to destroy its heart but also its main body?"
"Yes!"
Jiang Chen revealed his difficulty: "I already know the location where its main body is sealed, but the key is, how can we destroy it."
"You must know that its main body, after thousands of years of tempering, has become indestructible. Ordinary things cannot destroy it."
Zhang Banxian stroked his chin and pondered, "This is all recorded in the library of Dragon Tiger Mountain. I'll write a letter to my master right away and ask him."
It would be great to get help from Dragon Tiger Mountain.
They specialized in this kind of thing.
This was also why Jiang Chen wanted Zhang Banxian to stay.
He wasn't sure how powerful the physical body of the Super S-Class Demonic Beast sealed beneath the school was, and they didn't have much time to prepare.
Meanwhile, Zhang Banxian was very quick. He soon finished writing a letter and sent it directly to his master using a sound transmission talisman.
After finishing everything, Zhang Banxian explained, "The sound transmission talisman will reach my master within three hours, and it will take about six hours for him to send a reply."
Six hours to know if Dragon Tiger Mountain had a way to destroy the physical body of the Super S-Class Demonic Beast?
It seemed that Jiang Chen could only wait for these six hours.
Thinking this, Jiang Chen nodded.
Indicating that he understood.
Seeing Jiang Chen lost in thought, Zhang Banxian didn't want to disturb him.
He knew that Uncle-Master Jiang must be thinking about how to protect the city and how to ensure its safety.
As he thought about it, he felt that Uncle-Master Jiang was truly great.
Actually, Jiang Chen was dozing off...
He was extremely sleepy. He had consumed too much Soul Power today.
Plus, that guy Omniscience always came out without his permission.
Every time it came out, his Soul Power was greatly depleted.
If it hadn't pledged its loyalty to him.
Honestly, Jiang Chen really wanted to break the contract with Omniscience.
Other Zanpakuto were very obedient, but this Omniscience was too willful.
"Why do I feel like someone's talking bad about me!"
