Don't Be Afraid, Your Brother Is Here

The crying girl pointed somewhere and said, "She fell over there!"

"Xiao Lan!" Jiang Chen rushed over anxiously. Seeing his sister's pale gray face, utterly devoid of color, he was frantic with worry.

"Uncle-Master Jiang, there's no need to worry. She was only drained of her vital energy by the Millennium Demonic Beast. I have pills that can save her!"

Zhang Banxian took out a pill and fed it into Xiao Lan's mouth.

Before long, Xiao Lan woke up.

She opened her clear eyes and saw the worry on her brother's face. Thinking of how she had just fallen into the hands of that monster, with her life hanging in the balance—

She immediately burst into tears. "Brother, I'm scared!"

"It's okay. Your brother is here. Xiao Lan will be fine."

Jiang Chen comforted Xiao Lan. Looking at his sister asleep in his arms, exhausted from crying, a trace of tenderness welled up in his heart.

Over the past three years, countless people had called him trash. Only his sister had never looked down on him. She often encouraged him, telling him, "Brother, keep going. You'll always be the best."

Now that he had awakened his power, it was time to use his strength to protect his sister.

Meanwhile, the Law Enforcement Team had just completed their strategic deployment and were about to begin their first operation when they discovered that there was not a trace of demonic qi left in the entire school.

Strange. The demonic qi had clearly been so dense just moments ago that it could be sensed from far away.

Yet now, it had actually vanished.

Normally, the disappearance of demonic qi meant that the demonic beast had been eliminated.

Could the S-Class Demonic Beast have been killed?

That was impossible. They had not even begun to act.

He thought of the two people who had entered before them.

Could it have been them...

The captain of the Law Enforcement Team, General Pagoda, stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

"Boss, what do we do now?" the beautiful female deputy standing behind General Pagoda asked.

She wore tight black leather that accentuated her curvaceous figure. Beneath her short pale-green hair, she wore a pair of black sunglasses, making her look cool and aloof.

"Nothing on the Demonic Qi Compass?"

"Yes, Boss. The Demonic Qi Compass isn't showing anything. We can basically conclude that the S-Class demonic beast no longer exists."

Hearing his deputy Ivy's answer, the stern general unconsciously raised his brows. His eyes gradually sank into thought. They had sealed off the area around the campus, so the demonic beast could not have escaped.

Now that the Demonic Qi Compass detected no demonic qi, the only explanation was that the beast had already been eliminated.

Could it really have been those two people?

A faint glimmer flickered in General Pagoda's dark eyes.

How could that be possible? Even people from Dragon Tiger Mountain, even elders, had only a seventy percent chance of dealing with an S-Class Demonic Beast. That youth was so young; he could not possibly be an elder of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Besides, the elders of Dragon Tiger Mountain spent all year in seclusion and rarely came down the mountain.

And that young man had clearly only awakened his S-Class power recently. It would already have been impressive if he could escape alive after facing that monster.

But aside from those two, could there have been another expert present?

With that thought, General Pagoda lowered his head and remained silent.

"Boss?"

Seeing that General Pagoda had not spoken for a long time, Deputy Ivy asked, "What should we do next?"

"Search the academy and see if there are any survivors. Maybe we can learn something!" As he spoke, General Pagoda's amber eyes narrowed slightly.

"Yes!"

Soon, the survivors in the infirmary were found. After listening to their fragmented accounts, General Pagoda asked, "You're saying two young people saved you, and one of them was your classmate's older brother?"

"Yes..." the young girl stammered. "They saved us. I didn't see anyone else besides them."

After hearing this, General Pagoda said to his already stunned deputy Ivy, "Find those two as soon as possible. They may be this city's last hope!"

"Yes, Boss!"

After settling his sister down, Jiang Chen looked at Zhang Banxian beside him and asked, "Why do you call me Uncle-Master Jiang?"

"When did I become your uncle-master?"

Zhang Banxian seemed to have expected Jiang Chen to ask this and replied, "My master's master and your mother were fellow disciples. It is only proper for me to address you as Uncle-Master."

It was the first time Jiang Chen had heard any news about his parents in this world. "Where is my mother?"

"To save my master, she destroyed her cultivation and descended the mountain afterward. There was no news of her after that. Only after my master made inquiries in many places did he learn that her son was in this world."

"He specially sent me to protect you, Uncle-Master Jiang."

So that was how it was...

After learning about his origins, Jiang Chen did not show much emotion. He had never even met the mother from his memories, so he truly could not form much of an attachment to her.

Still, the fact that he was an uncle-master of Dragon Tiger Mountain surprised Jiang Chen somewhat.

Dragon Tiger Mountain, a legendary place.

And his status there should not be low.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen asked, "At Dragon Tiger Mountain, are people of my seniority all rich?"

"There's a monthly stipend of two million," Zhang Banxian replied without hesitation.

"Then what about my stipend? Do I get one too?"

Zhang Banxian thought for a moment before replying, "That will require approval from the Sect Master and the many elders. As long as Uncle-Master Jiang, your strength reaches elder level, or your contributions reach elder level, I think it shouldn't be a problem."

This piqued Jiang Chen's curiosity. "How does one become an elder of Dragon Tiger Mountain?"

"Just kill one hundred S-Class demonic beasts!"

"Forget I asked!"

Jiang Chen knew that his strength was still insufficient.

"Uncle-Master Jiang, you're already very impressive. You can deal with an S-Class demonic beast alone."

"That was luck!" Jiang Chen added, "If my moves hadn't happened to counter its attributes, I might be the one dead right now!"

Not long after the two finished talking, Jiang Xiaolan woke up. Seeing Jiang Chen beside her and realizing she was in her own bedroom, she immediately felt safe. She called out weakly, "Brother!"

"My sister's awake!"

"Are you hungry? Your brother will make you something tasty."

Jiang Chen quickly made a bowl of porridge in the kitchen and fed it to his sister.

After finishing the porridge, Jiang Xiaolan felt that she had mostly recovered. She said, "Brother, I'm fine now. Hurry back to class. Don't worry about me."

Jiang Chen had nearly forgotten about classes.

He did not want to go back at all. He wanted to look after his sister. "I'll take leave and take care of you for a few days. I won't go back until you're fine."

"Brother, don't forget that my power is healing. I'm already fine. If I use Healing Technique a few more times, I'll be able to get out of bed. You should go back to school. Otherwise, if you delay your studies, it'll be my fault as your sister."

With Jiang Xiaolan insisting again and again, Jiang Chen had no choice but to return to school with Zhang Banxian.

The place where they lived was within the Safe Zone, surrounded by powerful barriers. With those barriers in place, he was not worried that anything would happen to his sister.

On the way, they met up with Fatty Wang, and the three returned to school together.

The moment they entered the school gates, they were called to the homeroom teacher's office.

Teacher Cao had long found Jiang Chen unpleasant. He was always at the bottom of the class and dragged down the class's overall grades. Teacher Cao had long wanted to find an excuse to kick Jiang Chen out.

He gave a sinister smile, lifted his chin high, and looked at the three of them from the corner of his eye. "Skipping class means expulsion under school rules!"

"Will you handle the withdrawal procedures yourselves, or do you want me to personally throw you out?"
