"Chief Ye Ling, Little Crane, what brings you here?" To Long Chen's surprise, Ye Ling came along holding Xiao He'er's hand.
Accompanying them were several beautiful young girls. These girls wore white clothes, yet their bodies shimmered with colorful divine light. Their lively eyes flowed like clear springs, cleansing the soul.
"Brother Long Chen, these are my three aunts." Xiao He'er ran over, excitedly introducing it to Long Chen.
Long Chen was instantly embarrassed. These three girls looked only sixteen or seventeen, yet he could only grit his teeth and bow: "
Hello, three aunts."
There was no other way—Xiao He'er called him 'brother', but he couldn't call Xiao He'er's aunt 'sister'—the seniority was all messed up.
Xiao He'er's aunt looked young, but in reality, she had lived through endless years. Calling her aunt wasn't a bad idea, but Long Chen still felt a bit awkward.
The three beautiful girls seemed extremely shy, each blushing with embarrassment and returning the salute to Long Chen, but they didn't dare look at him or speak.
"Brother Long Chen, are you going to fight the bad guys? I want to go too, to cheer for Brother Long Chen. "Xiao He'er's little face was full of excitement. This little guy seemed to be becoming a bit violent."
"Not only do I want to cheer for Brother Long Chen, I've also brought my three aunts along so we can cheer for you together." Xiao He'er said with a grin.
Long Chen was speechless for a moment, but couldn't refuse. He could only nod, then looked at Ye Ling and asked, "Clan Chief Ye Ling, how is Ye Xue doing?" "
She's doing great, very good. She's already at the most critical stage, so she can't come out to cheer for you. Please don't take offense." Ye Ling said apologetically.
"Senior, what are you saying? It's just a match, no cheering or not doing." Long Chen said with a smile.
"You can't say that. Your feud with the Nether Dragon Clan all stemmed from our Earth Spirit Clan. We must stand up." Ye Ling said.
Long Chen suddenly understood. Ye Ling's support for Long Chen was actually a form of deterrent to the enemy. Among the spectators were definitely powerful figures from the Xuanling Realm, and there might even be archrivals.
If Ye Ling didn't show up, it would only fuel the enemy's arrogance. So, at Ye Xue's critical moment, she still had to come out to cheer Long Chen.
"Let's go!"
Long Chen nodded and said.
"The dean and the others aren't going to see you off?" Ye Ling glanced around and saw that aside from the Dragonblood Legion, no one else had come to see them off, and she couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Why give me away? It's just a small matter, no need to make such a big fuss." Long Chen said with a smile.
No one from Lingxiao Academy came to see Long Chen off. Long Chen himself knew that everything Long Chen was doing now was merely a personal action and had nothing to do with Lingxiao Academy.
This way, Long Chen could break free from the restrictions of Lingxiao Academy and do whatever he wanted. Although this might sound like covering one's ears and stealing a bell, sometimes, dealing with shameless people was a very effective method.
"Rumble... Everyone
stepped onto the teleportation array. Once activated, all figures disappeared. After Long Chen's figure disappeared, several figures gradually appeared around the array.
One of them was Bai Letian, the dean of Lingxiao Academy. Next to him was the Hall Master, and behind them were the senior members of Lingxiao Academy.
Watching Long Chen and the others leave, the Hall Master couldn't help but ask, "Are we really not going?" Dean
Bai Letian smiled slightly and said, "Sometimes, we have to learn to let go. Since it's up to Long Chen, let him handle it. Now is not the time to expose the academy's strength."
Let's wait until Long Chen can't hold on any longer, then we can clean up the mess! "
...
"Buzz"—
After more than a dozen teleportations, Guo Ran summoned a giant flying vessel, and everyone boarded it, speeding toward Tianxie Prefecture.
Long Chen and the others used teleportation arrays from various provinces to teleport. At every teleportation array, countless powerful figures exclaimed in surprise, waiting around the array to catch a glimpse of Long Chen's presence.
Most of these people were relatively weak in cultivation and couldn't go to Tianxie Prefecture, so they could only come here to see Long Chen off.
Wherever Long Chen and the others went, thunderous cheers erupted. Although they could only linger in one teleportation array for a few breaths, the countless onlookers felt immensely satisfied.
It should be known that this battle between Long Chen and the Nether Dragon Tianye was of extraordinary significance. It was a legendary battle between the human Saint King and the Beast Clan's Destiny Being, and the outcome of the two would have a huge impact.
When everyone boarded the flying boat, Xiao He'er was still thrilled. When she looked at Long Chen, her big eyes were full of admiration.
Seeing so many people cheering for Long Chen to see him off, calling out his name and cheering for him, Xiao He'er felt an unprecedented excitement.
"Brother Long Chen, you're now a great hero of the human race. You're amazing."
Xiao He'er looked outside the flying boat at the smaller and smaller city, and the tsunami of cheers around her still seemed not to have faded away.
"There are definitely great heroes among the human race, but not your brother Long Chen." Long Chen said with a smile.
"Why?" I think Brother Long Chen, you are a true hero. "Xiao He'er turned her head, looking puzzled.
"Because being a hero is too exhausting. Your brother Long Chen can't do it. Brother Long Chen prefers a life of freedom, unrestrained, and as he pleases." Yu Qingxuan laughed beside him.
Yu Qingxuan looked at Xiao He'er, her beautiful eyes full of affection. Not just her—everyone here was staring at her every single one.
Every move she makes tugs at everyone's heart. This little one makes people genuinely love and care for her, never allowing anyone to hurt her.
"Sister Qingxuan, why can't you just do whatever you want after becoming a great hero?"
Xiao He'er ran up to Yu Qingxuan, her big eyes fixed on her, her long lashes fluttering as she looked puzzled.
Yu Qingxuan reached out and affectionately picked up Xiao He'er. Looking into Xiao He'er's big eyes, she smiled broadly and said, "
Some things, you'll understand when you grow up. But I hope you never understand."
"Why?"
"Because you don't understand anything, Brother Long Chen will like you even more!" Yu Qingxuan said with a smile.
"I see! Hehe, then I guess I shouldn't understand anymore. I want Brother Long Chen to always like me, so that when he grows up to be my aunt, I can marry Brother Long Chen. "Xiao He'er giggled.
Xiao He'er's words made everyone burst into laughter. Long Chen felt a bit embarrassed. This little girl was really too naive, saying anything.
"Xiao He'er, how old is your aunt?" Guo Ran's eyes darted around as he hurriedly asked.
"I don't know. Since they were born, your academy has already had eleven deans." Xiao He'er counted on her fingers.
Everyone gasped, sevenThe lifespan of the Colorful Immortal Crane clan is truly terrifying. If the little crane grows up, they probably won't be here by now.
"We've arrived at Tianxie Prefecture."
Suddenly, the flying boat trembled and began to slow down, causing everyone's blood to heat up instantly.
