Dawn of the Super Seminary

Chapter 328 Returning to the City After the Battle

"Hello"

Since they would be "allies" from now on, Lianfeng took the initiative to extend her hand to Jie.

They wanted to show goodwill to others in this way.

Unfortunately, Jie was a rebellious old man who didn't shake hands with his apprentice's leader.

He even gave a dismissive "ah" in that extremely perfunctory tone!

It was as if he had some kind of grudge against Lianfeng!

He's deliberately sabotaging his apprentice!

Lianfeng never expected that the masked man who had been arguing and bickering with Mu Xingchen would treat her this way.

This made her quite embarrassed, so she could only withdraw her hand and change the subject.

"Zhixin, contact Tianren 7 and have them open the insect portal. We should head back."

"Um"

Zhi Xin nodded, then turned to the side and used the Galaxy Channel to contact Tian Ren.

Meanwhile, Mu Xingchen was staring at his master with a "malicious" look.

Because he felt that guy was deliberately disrespecting Chief Lianfeng!

Isn't this a trap for him?

Well, Chief Lianfeng will definitely make things difficult for him from now on.

His master is simply a scourge!

Despite his displeasure, Mu Xingchen didn't dare to complain to his master.

I could only feel indignant on behalf of Chief Lianfeng in my heart.

"Huh? What kind of look are you giving me, you brat?"

Jie glanced at his apprentice out of the corner of his eye and noticed that the apprentice was giving him a dirty look.

He then reached out and grabbed the boy's ear!

He completely disregarded the strange looks from his friends.

"Hey, hey, hey? Master Jie, what are you doing? Let go! There are so many people here, can't you give your disciple some face? I have a reputation to uphold too, you know?"

Suddenly, his master grabbed his ear, leaving Mu Xingchen speechless.

But he didn't reach out to pry his master's hand away; he could only verbally beg for mercy.

There was nothing he could do; after all, he was a respectful and devoted disciple.

"You better show me some respect from now on, or I'll take back your shadow abilities, understand?"

Jie said it in a deliberately serious tone, as if he could really take back the "thing" he had given away.

"I understand, I understand. From now on, I will treat you like my own father and be filial to you! I swear!"

Upon hearing his master say that he was going to take back his shadow abilities, Mu Xingchen immediately became unsettled.

He immediately wrote a guarantee to them!

"Tsk, you little brat..."

Needless to say, Jie was speechless at this moment, completely exasperated by his apprentice.

Although he didn't believe the brat could keep his word, he still let go of "his" ear.

As soon as his ears were "freed," Mu Xingchen quickly turned around to cover his "wound."

He looked as if he was terrified that the old white-haired man would grab his "vital parts" again!

Despite Mu Xingchen's playful bickering with Jie, he inadvertently revealed some "shocking" information. [Retract Shadow Ability]

But Lianfeng always kept a straight face.

I guess it's because he was upset about being refused a handshake earlier.

Soon, Ge Xiaolun retrieved the fragments of his greatsword.

Zhi Xin also contacted an angel who was on duty at Tianren 7.

So the group of five left the dilapidated "ruins" hall.

They boarded the winged shuttle and flew into the insect portal that the angel had gladly opened.

……

After more than ten hours of space travel, the shuttle successfully returned to Skyblade 7.

However, this round trip took more than 24 hours, and the negotiations with the triangulation also took some time.

So when the five returned to Tianren, it was already evening of the next day.

After that, Zhixin went to find Zhao Xin, and Lianfeng took Ge Xiaolun to repair his greatsword.

Mu Xingchen then followed his master towards their Super Soldier Company's accommodation area.

The two continued walking and talking, completely ignoring the Chinese soldiers who were looking at them with strange eyes.

"Huh? Master Jie, how many disciples do you have in total?"

Mu Xingchen kept thinking about the fact that he was taught by his master as a side effect.

So, taking advantage of his brother and leader's absence, he hurriedly inquired about the news from his third master.

"Why do you ask?"

When he heard the kid ask him that question, even the masked Zed couldn't help but straighten his face.

Clearly, he was reluctant to bring up those old stories.

After all, his little apprentice Tang Yao was the pain of his life.

"Hehe, I just wanted to know how much my disciple meant to Master."

Mu Xingchen sensed that something was off about his master's tone, so he deliberately put on a playful smile.

He even raised his hand and scratched his hair.

"...There's only one besides you."

After thinking for seven or eight seconds, Jie finally decided to tell the truth to his "only" "successor".

Upon learning that his master only had two disciples, Mu Xingchen felt a surge of satisfaction.

Although he wasn't the only one, being one of the two is pretty good too!

It's much better than those masters who open their doors wide and take in a large number of disciples!

"What about my senior brother..."

"It's my senior sister."

Before Mu Xingchen could finish speaking, Jie interrupted him.

However, his voice sounded noticeably heavier than before.

This is in stark contrast to his playful and unconventional personality.

"Oh, senior sister, is my senior sister still in Icathia?"

Upon hearing that his master's first disciple was a woman, Mu Xingchen felt a strange unease.

Honestly, he was starting to think about meeting that senior sister right now.

I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to see what that so-called senior sister was like, whether she was easy to talk to, and how capable she was.

"It's long gone, it disappeared more than 60,000 years ago."

Jie didn't try to hide anything, but a familiar figure couldn't help but flash through his mind.

Thinking of that quirky little girl, Jie felt a pang of sadness.

"..."

Hearing his master's words, Mu Xingchen also fell silent.

He hadn't expected it to turn out this way, otherwise he wouldn't have brought up his master's painful past.

He was now filled with regret, wishing he hadn't said anything.

Jie remained silent, and the master and apprentice walked in silence toward the "Black Armor" dormitory area.

The two people's shoes kept making a "tap tap tap" sound on the cement ground.

Because it was evening, the streetlights on both sides of the road suddenly turned on after a short while.

It added a touch of light to this small forest town at dusk.

"I'm sorry, Master."

Seeing the somewhat blurry shadows on the road, Mu Xingchen finally couldn't help but apologize to his master.

He had never seen his master robbed like this before; he had always thought his third master was a carefree old rascal.

But now, when his deceased senior sister is mentioned, Master Jie doesn't even want to speak.

It's obvious that his senior sister and his master Jie had a very good relationship.

"It's nothing, I've already let it go."

Despite saying that, he definitely hadn't truly let go of the past.

If he truly let go of Tang Yao, he wouldn't have worn that mask for tens of thousands of years.

You should know that little girl is the only soft spot in the heart of this "cold-blooded" assassin.

"..."

Seeing his master's reaction, Mu Xingchen didn't say anything more.

The two were walking towards the dormitory area when they encountered an acquaintance.

Mu Xingchen's face immediately fell when she saw the so-called "acquaintance".

Not only that, he deliberately lowered his head to avoid looking directly at that person!

It was as if he didn't want to see people.

Without a doubt, the only one who could receive such preferential treatment from Mu Xingchen on the Sky Blade was Angel Leng.

Although she gave him an extra half month to communicate with Qi Lin, Mu Xingchen still harbored considerable resentment towards the angel who had made things difficult for him.

After all, she made it clear at the time that she didn't need him to take responsibility; she simply didn't want to go back lying down as a seriously injured person.

But who knew she would change her mind later.

Do not!

That's not a change of heart!

That was a premeditated scheme!

He was naturally unhappy with the scheming woman after being filmed and threatened.

He just got back from his mission and ran into that girl, and she was deliberately giving him a sour look!

It made it impossible for him not to lower his head and avoid eye contact.

Seeing that the bastard deliberately lowered his head and wouldn't look at her, Leng Jian was furious.

However, because his master was also present, Leng Qiang suppressed his urge to "take action".

I just stepped on that bastard's foot hard as I passed him!

"Ouch! Are you crazy?!"

Mu Xingchen never expected that the world-weary-faced man would do something like that to him.

The pain was so intense that he immediately grabbed his foot and hopped on one leg in place!

As for Leng, she walked away quickly into the distance without looking back.

She had absolutely no intention of explaining to him why she stepped on him with the heel of her boot.

That guy walked so fast, it was as if she hadn't heard anyone's cries of pain and curses at all.

"Serves you right for flirting around everywhere."

Seeing his apprentice jumping up and down from being trampled, Jie not only did not comfort him, but also took the opportunity to insult the kid!

Clearly, he was also somewhat dissatisfied with his disciple who was not faithful in his affections.

It's because he and his older brother are both very devoted people.

He doesn't like people who would "betray" their partner.

"Who's been flirting?! I was tricked, okay?! Wait, Master Jie, how did you know all that? Did you peek into my memory data?!"

Hearing his master's gloating, Mu Xingchen helplessly defended himself a few times.

But the next second he realized something was wrong.

He immediately put his foot down and glared at his third master with displeasure!

He didn't even care about the soreness coming from the top of his feet!

"Don't wrong an innocent person, kid. I'm a man of principle. How could I possibly do something like spying on your memories? I'm not that bored."

Jie reached out and patted Mu Xingchen on the side of the head, then crossed his arms and adopted the posture of an elder.

"Then how did you know I had something going on with her?!"

Mu Xingchen didn't believe his master's explanation at all.

He still stared at the white-haired old man in the mask with a suspicious look.

He acted as if he absolutely had to get an explanation from "him"!

“Yesterday, my brother and I came here to look for you, and we happened to run into that girl on patrol. We noticed a strong Dawn Energy reaction on her, so we read her data. Of course, we know about your shady dealings.”

Seeing the boy's disbelief, Jie had no choice but to defend his "personality".

He didn't want to be branded as disrespectful to his elders.

"Really?"

Upon learning that his master had not obtained the information from his memory bank, Mu Xingchen breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But there was still a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Nonsense! Would I lie to you? Besides, your dark dimension is locked by my second brother. Even my eldest brother and I can't easily spy on your information."

Jie was somewhat annoyed, and his tone of voice was much harsher than before.

It's obvious he's unhappy that this kid sees him as a "voyeur."

"Huh? My master locked me in the dark dimension? When did that happen?!"

Upon hearing his master's words, Mu Xingchen immediately perked up.

The main reason is that this is the first time he has learned that his dark dimension has been locked by his master (Carlos)!

"It's always been there. I guess your second brother was worried that your super-life gene data might be stolen by someone with malicious intent, so he set up protection for you in advance."

Without a doubt, both Jie and Feng knew the "source" of Mu Xingchen's genes.

Because they could sense the sacred power originating from the "Light of Sanction"!

Jie knew very well that his second brother had given this kid his own Icathian genes.

Otherwise, he couldn't possibly possess such a "pure" sacred aura!

However, that divine power was also locked up by his second brother, and he would not receive authorization from his second brother, the "genuine" Light of Punishment, again.

This kid is unlikely to (or will find it very difficult to) unleash and utilize the power of the Source of Sanctions.

"..."

After receiving Master Jie's explanation, Mu Xingchen fell silent for a few seconds.

It turns out his master had already set up protection for him; no wonder the Angel Queen couldn't read his information when they were on the Giant Gorge.

They even said he blocked her Eye of Insight!

He initially thought it was his Master Feng and Master Jie who had done it.

It turned out not to be.

No wonder the "gods" he encountered before didn't have the ability to change human body structure and data that his master had mentioned.

It turns out that it wasn't that those "gods" didn't exist, but rather that those tricks were ineffective against him!

This is really good news.

At first, he thought that only by having a Void Engine could he protect his data.

After all, this was what his master told him.

But it turned out he was overthinking it.

It seems that as long as you have enough ability, there is nothing you can't accomplish!

At this moment, Mu Xingchen silently thanked his master.

Because that old Deng is really reliable!

After thinking about all this, Mu Xingchen couldn't help but ask about his "good master".

"Huh? Master Jie, is it just you and Master Feng who came back this time? My master is still in Icathia?"

"No, my second brother is back too, but he had something to do and didn't come with us."

When the boy asked, Jie had no choice but to answer truthfully.

However, in order to save face for his second brother, he didn't say that "he" had gone to find a woman.

I could only brush it off by saying I was busy.

"Oh, that's how it is"

Mu Xingchen felt somewhat disappointed when he learned that his master had returned but did not come to see him immediately.

Because his master didn't take him seriously!

He did inherit "his" super life genes, after all.

That could be considered "his" son!

As it turns out, that old man Deng didn't take him seriously at all.

This is really annoying...
