The Teacher Was Very Busy

Nan Gengchen looked at Li Shutong in shock, then at the night sky where drones were exploding.

This was originally the Wilderness People's hidden trump card, but the opponent turned it into a dream with a deck of cards.

Although he had been in the Inner World for quite some time, this was the first time Nan Gengchen had ever seen someone of this caliber make a move.

To be honest, because he had so little experience, he couldn't even determine what level of person this was.

In short, it's a very high-level program!

Thinking of this, he looked at Qing Chen again.

A few days ago, he really thought that Qing Chen was just a poor, struggling Wilderness People, and he even suggested that Qingchen come to him for help.

The reversal happened way too fast!

Watching the drone swarm explode, Li Yinuo picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "It's resolved. Continue forward to find the Kamishiro Family. The Wilderness People behind won't give up. Also, be careful of ambushes ahead."

Xiao Gong on the walkie-talkie seemed speechless for a moment. "What... what's going on?"

No one expected that the originally dreaded crisis would be resolved so easily.

Li Yinuo replied, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

After saying this, she sincerely thanked Li Shutong.

Nan Gengchen has been following Li Yinuo for some time now. You should know that this arrogant and domineering beautiful and strong girl even addresses some of her uncles in the family as "you".

If someone doesn't earn her genuine respect, she won't use the word "you" at all.

Nan Gengchen thought to himself, "I even told Brother Chen that if he can't make ends meet, he should come and come to me for help..."

But I never expected that the other person would be doing so much better than me.

At least we don't have to worry about not getting enough nutrition!

Of course, Nan Gengchen quickly accepted the result. After all, he had personally witnessed this academic genius crush all the top students in Luoyang Foreign Language School, making those top students admire him and even giving him special privileges from the teachers.

It's reasonable for someone like that to be doing better than you in the Inner World!

Nan Gengchen would envy and be jealous of Liu Dezhu, because he always felt that even someone like that could gain a great status by studying under a famous teacher, which was simply too unreasonable.

However, he could not feel jealousy towards Qing Chen; he could only say that he was completely convinced.

However, Li Yinuo has not revealed Li Shutong's identity until now.

Therefore, Nan Gengchen Qin Yiyi could only know that Li Shutong was no ordinary person and had extremely high strength, but they could not guess who he was.

At this moment, Qin Yiyi suddenly remembered something.

One afternoon, I asked Li Shutong: What level are you?

What did they say in their reply? Level 10!!!

Qin Yiyi's initial response was that if she didn't want to tell the truth, then so be it.

But now Qin Yiyi suddenly realized that what the other party said might actually be the truth!

How many S-class beings are there in this world? Very few!

Qin Yiyi's gaze toward Li Shutong had changed, but she wasn't very happy because it meant that the distance between her and Qing Chen had suddenly grown.

The other party was no longer that poor, young servant, but a disciple of some important figure.

And she remains that miserable, desolate girl from the wilderness.

Li Shutong smiled and glanced at her, seemingly understanding the girl's thoughts. "Remember what I said, go to City No. 18 to find that person."

Qin Yiyi was stunned for a moment; it seemed that the other party had already made arrangements for her.

At this moment, Li Yinuo turned her gaze to Qing Chen, and the two quietly sized each other up.

The boy was handsome, but she had seen many good-looking people, so it wasn't anything special to her.

Li Yinuo, abandoning her usual carefree demeanor, calmly looked at Qing Chen: "This is your student, right? You were unwilling to take me as your apprentice back then. Is this student more capable than me?"

It was only after asking this question that Qin Yiyi and Nan Gengchen understood why the other party had complained about Qing Chen as soon as they got in the car.

This is because the beautiful young woman herself failed to become this middle-aged man's student, and his student suddenly appeared in front of her.

She was somewhat unconvinced.

In fact, Li Yinuo recognized this elder when she first met Li Shutong.

Even if the other party pulled up the collar of the windbreaker.

Even though the other party later smeared ash on their face.

But this was a very close elder, how could she not recognize him?

Then she discovered that Li Shutong's destination was also Forbidden Zone No. 002, and she realized that the young man beside Li Shutong was probably the next generation's knight leader.

Because Li Yinuo knew very well what was in Forbidden Zone No. 002...

Green mountains and steep cliffs.

Although Li Yinuo didn't know exactly what the Knight's eight Life and Death Trial were, she did know.

There.

It is where the dreams of knights throughout the ages began.

Thinking about this, she became even more indignant. "I won't accept him!"

Li Shutong thought for a moment and said, "To be fair, his character is indeed stronger than yours, and he is more suited to follow my path. Stop joking around; you have your own path to take."

Li Shutong always knew exactly how to praise his students in front of others.

Li Yinuo stared intently at Qing Chen, still somewhat unwilling. "In what way am I inferior to him in character? I begged you to take me as your disciple back then, but you refused. What is his background?"

"I can't say now," Li Shutong smiled. He knew that none of the people in this car would betray Qing Chen, but he still couldn't say it. "As for where his character is better than yours, you'll find out for yourself later."

At this moment, Qing Chen frowned and pondered.

He had seen the Li family genealogy before, partly to find out if Li Tongyun was on it, and partly to guess that Li Shutong was a member of the Li family.

But it was later discovered that Li Shutong's name was not on it.

Of course, the family tree was given to us by the other party, so it's perfectly normal for them to delete our information...

During the conversation, Li Shutong did not deliberately avoid mentioning Li Yinuo, such as that Qing Chen had become his student.

Among these, it is known that Qin Yiyi a descendant of Li Shutong's friend, and her character and temperament are beyond reproach. It is clear that the other party intends to arrange a way out for this girl.

Nan Gengchen is Qing Chen's good friend; it was Qing Chen who tried to save him at Laojun Mountain.

These are all trustworthy people.

In fact, Li Shutong was also hinting at something to Qing Chen, and so was Li Yinuo.

At this moment, all the clues that Li Shutong had used to bring him out connected:

The other party has many purposes for this trip and wants to accomplish many things at once.

The first thing to do is to make arrangements for the descendants of the Qin Family.

The second thing is to have Qing Chen kill Qing Huai, to vent his anger, take revenge, and eliminate one of the powerful rivals in the Shadow Struggle.

The third thing was to introduce Qing Chen to Li Yinuo.

Thinking of this, Qing Chen deduced from Li Yinuo's sudden joining of the Autumn Hunting Team that she may have received a notification from Li Shutong, which led to her sudden decision.

Scamming the Kamishiro Family was merely a way to justify his actions; of course, it would be even better if he could actually succeed in scamming them.

Now, there is a fourth thing: Li Shutong wants to take Qing Chen to Qingshan to witness him unlock the first layer of his Gene Lock!

Qing Chen sighed, "The teacher seems to be having a leisurely time, but he's actually very busy."
