All along, Lin Chen has been excellent in his conduct, handling human relations and social etiquette with clarity and understanding!
"Then I thank the two mentors!" Lin Chen said cheerfully.
Seeing Lin Chen return to his playful demeanor, Feng Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at Song He, then looked at Lin Chen and said, "You can take leave, but I hope you can return as soon as possible. We are determined to win the championship of this National Government Competition!"
Lin Chen said with a grin, "Alright, teacher!"
After Lin Chen's leave was approved, Feng Li assigned new training tasks. Lin Chen could disregard Feng Li's authority because he possessed absolute strength, but the others could not!
Lin Chen and Mu Ningxue did not leave immediately. They spent another day with Jiang Shaoxu. In the afternoon, an unexpected light rain suddenly arrived, making the temperature feel slightly cold.
The entire East Sea City was quickly enveloped by this hard-to-resist damp chill.
By evening, the mentors were preparing to leave. All members of the National Government Team stood at the entrance, seeing off the mentors. After all, due respect must be shown, and Lin Chen was no exception. These social courtesies are essential; one must be assertive when necessary, but also know when to rein in one's edge after being assertive!
After the mentors departed, Lin Chen and Mu Ningxue boarded the plane back to the country.
...
The cold rain was also falling at the airport. The plane was still taxiing. Mu Ningxue leaned on Lin Chen's shoulder. Lin Chen sat by the window, his thoughts already drifting back to their home country.
After an unknown period, the plane landed at the airport closest to Tianshan.
After getting off the plane, Lin Chen summoned his wings and took Mu Ningxue directly to Tianshan.
In just half an hour, Lin Chen and Mu Ningxue arrived at Tianshan. As they were about to step into Tianshan, they looked up at the peak of Tianshan. Tianshan, covered in boundless flying snow, was truly beautiful and enchanting.
At the peak of Tianshan, vast ice and snow mountain ranges stretched endlessly. Countless icebergs formed the shape of a giant white tiger. This giant tiger was so enormous that only Lin Chen, standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, would notice that the continuous mountain range formed the shape of a white tiger!
Lin Chen's thoughts stirred, and Qiu'er, Yin'er, Shuangbing, Zijie, and Bijie all appeared around him.
Following Qiu'er and Yin'er, all of Lin Chen's summoned beasts successively broke through to become divine beasts.
With their current strength, although there was still some gap with Emperor-level demon creatures, this gap was not insurmountable.
With five divine beasts present, Lin Chen was confident of victory even against the Emperor White Tiger!
The Tianshan White Tiger seemed to sense an unusual aura. Its closed eyes suddenly opened, and a violent Xue Beng immediately occurred on Tianshan. At the same time, the White Tiger's voice resounded in Lin Chen's mind!
"I have no intention of being your enemy. My purpose in coming here is to find someone!" After a moment of silence, Lin Chen said.
Perhaps not sensing Lin Chen's malice, or perhaps perceiving the power on Lin Chen's side, the White Tiger's aura completely dissipated!
Without the White Tiger's obstruction, Lin Chen's progress was smooth. In just half a day, he found the location where Qin Yuer was sealed in the Tianshan Rift Valley!
At this moment, Qin Yuer was lying within ice crystals, all her vitality locked away. Even with Lin Chen's exceptionally strong mental force, he could not sense any life. To remain alive despite being in this glacial abyss and not perish was,不得不说, a truly incredible feat.
"This!!!" Mu Ningxue was filled with disbelief upon seeing Qin Yuer in the ice crystal!
Qin Yuer was as beautiful as a celestial being, no less so than Mu Ningxue. Furthermore, in terms of figure and temperament, she was identical to Mu Ningxue. Mu Ningxue felt as if she was seeing her future self in Qin Yuer.
Mu Ningxue looked deeply at Lin Chen. Qin Yuer had white hair, and Mu Ningxue once did too. Before coming here, Mu Ningxue had learned Qin Yuer's story from Lin Chen. Now, seeing Qin Yuer with her own eyes, Mu Ningxue was extremely grateful to have met Lin Chen!
Lin Chen smiled slightly, and a spatial force suddenly appeared. Qin Yuer suddenly broke free from the ice crystal!
Qin Yuer, who had been frozen for a long time, did not immediately wake up. Lin Chen was not in a hurry; he first needed to erase the imprint the Holy City had carved on her.
The Holy City has a very strong tracking ability for The Afflicted who escape, because after they seal The Afflicted, they leave a magic imprint inside their bodies. Even if The Afflicted escape, they can track them back through the imprint!
This magic imprint is of Forbidden Magic level, and only a Forbidden Magic practitioner can remove it. However, this imprint posed no difficulty for Lin Chen. He only needed to drag Qin Yuer into the Spirit Realm for a moment to completely clear the imprint. After all, in the Spirit Realm, Lin Chen is a god, and a small imprint is not a difficult matter for him at all!
After rescuing Qin Yuer, Lin Chen did not linger in Tianshan. He directly took Qin Yuer away from Tianshan and went to a small town near Tianshan!
It wasn't until the next day that Qin Yuer woke up!
Qin Yuer was very beautiful, with a sense of maturity amidst her youthful innocence. This feeling was very contradictory, which was also the reason she had been frozen in ice crystals for many years.
Although Qin Yuer was beautiful, Lin Chen was not moved. After all, in Qin Yuer's heart, there already resided an indelible man!
Although Lin Chen was not a good person, he would not do something like stealing someone's love. There is nothing wrong with lovers eventually becoming family!
Moreover, Lin Chen was not short of women at all. There were plenty of beautiful women in the world; if he took them all, Lin Chen would simply be too busy!
After informing Qin Yuer of the situation's origin and the purpose of saving her, Qin Yuer readily accepted Lin Chen's help and also expressed her willingness to assist Mu Ningxue!
And stated her willingness to settle in Feiniao City in the future!
Finally, Lin Chen called Instructor Zhan Kong over. Lin Chen couldn't bear to see such a thing as lovers finally becoming family, so he entrusted Mu Ningxue to Qin Yuer and then left!
...
Leaving Tianshan, Lin Chen returned to the Demon City and arrived at Qingtian Hunter Agency. As soon as he entered, he saw a girl with two braids hanging down her cheeks like willow leaves. She was staring with a pair of watery large eyes, which flickered with a hint of obvious resentment.
Lin Chen grinned, walked to the girl's side, bent down and picked her up. Feeling the softness and elasticity, Lin Chen laughed, "Long time no see, little Lingling!"
A blush appeared on Lingling's face, which was full of disdain. She cursed, "You're a pervert, a lolicon!"
Lin Chen laughed loudly, "You just realized that, it's too late!"
As time passed and due to the effect of Spirit, the former little Lingling had grown into a big Lingling.
