"I'm not unhappy, just not as overjoyed as Xiao Hongchen and the others. In this competition, not only were you injured, but we also won by sheer luck. If it were the Shrek Team at its peak, facing one Soul Saint, two Soul Emperor, and four Soul King, we wouldn't have a chance," Feng Luan said calmly.
Meng Hongchen was secretly pleased to see that Feng Luan wasn't celebrating the Soul Master Tournament championship with everyone else, partly because of her own injury.
She slightly raised her head, glanced at Feng Luan's handsome face, and said, "Teacher Feng Luan, I'm fine."
"Don't be careless. I think your injury was treated too simply today. Maybe I'm worrying too much, but in any case, you must take good care of your injury and not be careless." Feng Luan turned to look at Elder Ma, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy Team, who was sitting not far away.
" Elder Ma, the Soul Master Tournament is over now. Star Luo City isn't far from my hometown, so I'll take advantage of this trip back to go home for a few days. I'll return to the academy before you go back to Mingdu," Feng Luan said to team leader Ma Cheng.
Team leader Ma Cheng nodded and said, "Alright, it's no problem for Teacher Feng Luan to visit her hometown while she's in Star Luo City."
"Teacher Feng Luan, may I visit your hometown?" Meng Hongchen asked.
Feng Luan glanced at Meng Hongchen, thought for a moment, and realized that while his elder brother Qian Chen was relatively tolerant of the Three Kingdoms of Douluo Plains, he didn't know what his true attitude was towards the Sun Moon Empire. He could only restrain himself and say to Meng Hongchen, "Meng, you're injured this time, you should rest well. Maybe next time."
After saying that, he left the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy Team and headed to Watch Valley alone.
Meng Hongchen could only watch Feng Luan leave, feeling extremely disappointed. Feng Luan was once the most powerful senior at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, and later became a teacher. Not only was he incredibly strong, but he could also design and manufacture extremely powerful and exquisite Soul Tool.
I just don't know why Teacher Feng Luan always keeps a certain distance from them.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. In the Desperate Situation Space, Qian Chen could only hear the auspicious Auspicious Beast and his own heartbeat, as well as the Auspicious Beast's snoring; there were no other sounds.
Qian Chen figured that once the three days were up, he wouldn't want to stay here for even a second longer. This absolute darkness, this absolute silence, this inability to feel the passage of time, this ability to only estimate it yourself—it was enough to drive anyone crazy.
Qian Chen suddenly remembered Feng Ling, who had been imprisoned here for over a month. He wondered how she was doing. He decided to release her after he had dealt with the current situation, to prevent her from having a mental breakdown and dying or going insane.
Qian Chen gently shook the Auspicious Beast, Auspicious Beast was awakened. She opened her eyes groggily, but it was no use; all around her was pure, absolute darkness, without a trace of light.
" Qian Chen, are we about to leave?" the Auspicious Beast asked within the Spiritual Web.
"Yes. We're getting ready to go out. I estimate three days have passed. Let's go out and take a look."
"Okay, sure," the Auspicious Beast replied.
"Remember, when you return to the Douluo Continent, you can only continue to be Wang Qiu'er! Don't let Tang San find out that you've reverted to your Emperor Auspicious Beast!"
The Auspicious Beast nodded, and then Qian Chen opened the entrance to his own Desperate Situation Space and the Douluo Plane. The next moment, Qian Chen and the Auspicious Beast lost their footing and fell back to the room Qian Chen had booked at the Star Luo Empire Hotel.
Everything in the room remained the same. Qian Chen said, "It seems the Shrek Academy Team hasn't checked out yet. Let's go out and take a look."
"Um."
Soon, Qian Chen, accompanied by the Auspicious Beast, found the Shrek Academy Team.
Upon seeing Qian Chen and the Auspicious Beast Wang Qiu'er, Wang Yan hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Dean Qian Chen, where have you been these past three days? You didn't come to the last two finals of the Soul Master Tournament, and you've been nowhere to be found for the past three days! We haven't received any instructions from you, so we've been waiting for you at the hotel!"
Qian Chen knew that as the team leader, he not only had the authority to command the team, but also the responsibility to protect the safety of the entire team. Qian Chen said, "There was a slight problem when we were treating Wang Qiu'er's poison, so I was away for a few days. How about this, it's already this late, let's stay at this hotel for another day and return to the Shrek Academy tomorrow."
"Yes," Wang Yan and the nine team members said in unison.
" Guyi, Xiao Xiao, are you going back to Watch Valley for a visit?" Qian Chen then asked the two directly.
Qian Guyi had been a nobody in this team for over a month, and she was getting restless. Now that she could go home, she immediately said, "Uncle, I want to go home."
Xiao Xiao's parents had been invited to Watch Valley Watch Valley by the people there six months ago. Overjoyed at the prospect of seeing her parents again, Xiao Xiao exclaimed, "Teacher, I want to go!"
Qian Chen nodded and was about to dismiss everyone so they could return to the Shrek Academy the next day when Huo Yuhao suddenly asked, "Teacher, may I go?"
Qian Chen hadn't expected Huo Yuhao to ask that. He thought for Qian Chen; Ning Tian was in Watch Valley, so it seemed Huo Yuhao missed Ning Tian too. However, Huo Yuhao was constantly being watched by Tang San, and if he went to see Ning Tian now, it would only harm Ning Tian. Qian Chen said, " Yuhao, you should stay at the hotel and cultivate properly. You need to improve your strength to protect the people you want to protect."
Hearing Qian Chen's words, Huo Yuhao realized he had acted rashly and immediately said to Qian Chen, "Yes, teacher, I understand."
Huo Yuhao understood, but the Auspicious Beast wouldn't have it. She clung to Qian Chen's arm and said, " Qian Chen, wherever you go, I'll go."
Everyone present was stunned to see Wang Qiu'er clinging to Qian Chen's arm in such an intimate manner, and saying that she would go wherever Qian Chen went.
No one expected that Qian Chen and Wang Qiu'er would disappear for three days and become so close. What exactly happened between them?
Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochеn exchanged a glance. Oh no! Is their eldest brother going to follow in Bing Ling's footsteps? They had to tell their Grandmaster Zhang Lexuan about this before they got back!
Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao were shocked, never expecting that their best friend, with whom they usually played, would want to become their teacher's wife.
Xiao Xiao, in particular, was the one who regretted it the most. After learning that Wang Dong was a girl, her only idol was her teacher, but she never expected that Wang Qiu'er would beat her to it. Oh no, oh no, she had actually thought that way; how embarrassing!
Just as everyone saw Wang Qiu'er being particularly close to Qian Chen and had different opinions, Qian Chen also realized that everyone had misunderstood.
Now that Wang Qiu'er is no longer influenced by Wang Dong'er's soul, she truly has the mind of a simple Soul Beast, but she just can't explain it to everyone.
Qian Chen ultimately decided not to explain. Wang Qiu'er was just a simple Soul Beast at the moment, and she was not yet suited for the human world. It was indeed best to keep her by his side.
"Okay," Qian Chen said, turning to the auspicious Auspicious Beast.
Then Qian Chen arranged, " Qiu'er, Xiao Xiao, you two will use the Flying Soul Tool I gave you in the academy to fly. Guyi, you will ride on your uncle's Seven Kill Sword."
"Yes." As soon as Qian Guyi finished speaking, a Flying Soul Tool fell into her Qian Guyi. It was the Auspicious Beast that took out the Flying Soul Tool.
The Auspicious Beast, spoiled and pampered in the Star Dou Great Forest, and possessive to a great degree, immediately declared, " Qian Chen, I want to ride your Seven Kill Sword."
Qian Guyi was surprised that Wang Qiu'er would do this. She thought angrily to herself, "What's wrong with Wang Qiu'er today? She's usually so unpredictable. Why is she being so domineering and spoiled today?"
