Chapter 252: Chapter 206: Return to the Country Chapter 252: Chapter 206: Return to the Country Situ Qingyin secretly sighed with emotion about the coincidence, and then saluted Bai Ze again.
“I have long heard of Lord Bai Ze’s noble name.
It is truly an honor to meet you today.”
Bai Ze shook his head with a smile.
“No need to be so polite.
Since you are with Miss, you are her friends.
ƝονǤօ.сօ
Besides, the fact that she managed to tame the Mystic Ice this time is probably due to your help, right?”
Bai Ze’s own avatar was defeated by someone else, while Luo Bingtong’s Soul Burning Lamp continued to weaken during that time, suggesting that it was devouring the Mystic Ice.
And during this process, she must have had almost no ability to resist external influences, so someone must have helped her.
“Mystic Ice?!”, Situ Qingyin couldn’t help but exclaim.
Situ Qingyin, who was well-read and knowledgeable about various rare treasures, naturally knew what Mystic Ice was.
He was greatly surprised and turned to look at Su Yuan and the others.
Seeing this, Bai Ze also knew who had lent a helping hand.
Looking at Su Yuan beside him, Bai Ze withdrew his smile and saluted solemnly.
“Thank you, Brother Su, for coming to our Miss’s rescue at a critical moment.”
Su Yuan returned the salute.
“You’re too kind, senior.
We are classmates, it is only right to help each other out.”
“It was more than just a helping hand.”
Bai Ze smiled, pondered for a moment, and then took out a beautiful and luxurious feather from his ring and handed it to Su Yuan.
“This is for you.”
Su Yuan examined the feather curiously and asked, “This is…?”
“This is a Peacock Feather, a symbol of our lineage’s friendship.
Since you saved Miss Bingtong, I will entrust it to you.
I think…
you might need it in the future.”
Su Yuan didn’t quite understand the value of the Peacock Feather, but Situ Qingyin, who grew up in Demon Capital, seemed to know a bit about it.
He grabbed Su Yuan’s arm excitedly and whispered, “Su Yuan, accept it quickly!”
It was the first time Su Yuan had seen Situ Qingyin this way, knowing it must be something good.
He immediately responded, “Thank you very much, senior Bai Ze.
I will keep it safe.”
Bai Ze smiled and nodded, with a faint water light constantly flowing in his eyes.
“This young man, though only at the Silver Stage, is beyond my ability to read his destiny.
His future will not be simple…”
In this world, many people’s future paths could be roughly seen at a glance.
And what could cause an influence were nothing but some major variables.
However, with the aid of numerology and divination for derivation, Bai Ze could still see the future of most people at a glance.
Not a lifetime, but three to five years could still be predicted.
But this young man in front of him was a complete mystery, which was indeed quite rare.
A master at the level of Master Kong was understandable, but a mere Lower Three Levels having this situation was unprecedented, apart from Luo Bingtong.
Plus, Su Yuan rescuing Luo Bingtong and helping her devour the Mystic Ice made Bai Ze think for a moment before decisively taking out this Peacock Feather from Kong Zheng.
Bai Ze looked at Luo Bingtong and asked, “Miss, what kind of Mystic Ice did you obtain?”
“Ten Thousand Transformation Xuan Ice.”
“Oh?” Bai Ze’s eyes brightened at the words and he suddenly laughed, appearing quite happy.
“It’s the Ten Thousand Transformation Xuan Ice!
Good, with this, I can teach you some of my things!”
Bai Ze, in a good mood, asked Su Yuan and Situ Qingyin, “Do you both intend to stay here, or would you prefer to return to Great Flame?
If so, I can take you back.”
“Together.” Before Su Yuan could speak, Luo Bingtong suddenly said to Bai Ze, “They are coming together.”
Bai Ze was a bit surprised but nodded.
“In that case, let’s go.”
Su Yuan could only nod and smile, “Thank you, senior.”
“No trouble.”
With a wave of Bai Ze’s hand, a thick and soft cloud formed below them, lifting everyone and moving towards Great Flame at a rapid pace.
…
Shortly after Su Yuan and his companions left, a middle-aged man in a luxurious suit arrived at the place they had just passed.
However, at this moment, the man’s expression was extremely gloomy, with fear, anger, and a trace of dread flashing in his eyes.
“It’s here.
Here lies a trace of Young Master Sino’s aura!”
The middle-aged man made a sealing gesture with his hands, and a layer of light green radiance enveloped the area, magnifying and presenting all the lingering traces, regardless of their form or color, several to tens of times larger.
Soon, besides Sino’s familiar aura, four other slowly dissipating auras were captured by the suited middle-aged man, belonging to Bai Ze, Su Yuan, and the others.
“One Burning Sun, three Silver…
Even if the three Silvers weren’t the ones who killed Young Master Sino, they definitely had close contact with him!”
“Hmm…
This is Mystic Ice?!” The middle-aged man’s heart moved, and he carefully investigated, finding a chilling energy deep within one of the auras.
“Indeed, it’s Mystic Ice!”
“So it seems, Young Master Sino clashed with others over Mystic Ice and was ultimately killed!”
The middle-aged man quickly deduced most of the situation, then took out a rhomboid crystal, made a sealing gesture with both hands, and collected the three auras of Su Yuan, Luo Bingtong, and Situ Qingyin into the crystal, especially marking Luo Bingtong’s aura.
As for Bai Ze’s aura, the middle-aged man left it untouched.
Many masters, through their senses, could detect if someone was targeting them.
Clearly, the suited middle-aged man was very cautious, which was why he had been sent by the Bach family to protect Sino.
But the events within the Secret Realm were unpredictable.
The middle-aged man looked in the direction of Su Yuan and the others’ departure and said in a deep voice, “Burning Sun Level…
I’m probably not their match.
I should return to Qiguang first!”
The suited middle-aged man put away the crystal containing the auras and then flew away at high speed towards the north…
High above on the way to Great Flame, Bai Ze vaguely sensed something and frowned slightly, glancing back at Luo Bingtong.
As a wise and perceptive Great Demon, Bai Ze vaguely felt a distant sense of ominousness pointing towards Luo Bingtong at that moment.
But since it wasn’t directly aiming at him, and rather, indirectly affecting him through Luo Bingtong, the omen was too vague for Bai Ze to be sure if it was just an illusion.
“What’s wrong?” Luo Bingtong, seeing Bai Ze looking at her, asked.
Bai Ze smiled, “It’s nothing.”
Bai Ze himself wasn’t sure, so he didn’t say it aloud to worry Luo Bingtong.
He would have to carefully calculate it once they returned.
…
Two days later, under Bai Ze’s cloud-riding technique, the group arrived outside Demon Capital Academy.
Su Yuan sighed inwardly, the difference was truly enormous…
The Frost Giant Dragon was impressive, but in terms of comfort and speed, it couldn’t compare to the clouds summoned by Bai Ze.
Returning to simplicity, indeed worthy of a Burning Sun expert!
Situ Qingyin bid farewell and went home directly, seizing the time to refine Star Devices.
After dropping everyone off, Bai Ze greeted Luo Bingtong and left as well.
As for Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong, they returned to the academy.
Su Yuan decided to return to his dormitory to rest first, then report the task and hand over the Snow God Lotus to his teacher at the Book Tower.
After that, he would go home.
“Are you going home?”
In front of dormitory No.
4 of Southern First Garden, Luo Bingtong asked.
On the way back, they had chatted a bit.
Of course, it was mainly Su Yuan, Situ Qingyin, and Bai Ze talking.
Situ Qingyin and Bai Ze belonged to the same category of people: erudite and well-remembered, with extensive knowledge.
And Bai Ze knew much more than Situ Qingyin.
Situ Qingyin had asked many questions, and Bai Ze had been happy to explain.
Su Yuan, following alongside, had also heard many interesting stories.
Now, hearing Luo Bingtong’s question, Su Yuan nodded.
“Yes, I plan to go home.”
“Can I go with you?”
“Hmm?” Su Yuan was stunned and looked at Luo Bingtong in surprise.
What is this move?
Luo Bingtong said, “To adapt to the Mystic Ice, I can’t cultivate for the time being.”
“I see…” Su Yuan understood but still shook his head.
“No, that’s not appropriate.”
Su Yuan understood that Luo Bingtong was merely a Star Beast and might not understand the relationships involved.
In Great Flame, it wasn’t proper to take a girl back home casually.
As he spoke, Su Yuan was about to head back to the dormitory when he suddenly felt his clothing gently tugged.
He saw Luo Bingtong standing there, her ice-blue eyes quietly looking at him.
“I want to go.”
After a moment of staring at each other, Su Yuan couldn’t help but turn his head slightly and rub his temples.
Who could withstand this…
“Alright…” After a brief thought, Su Yuan nodded.
“But I need to see my teacher first.
I’ll come get you afterward.”
Just consider it as taking a child along.
Luo Bingtong looked so small; his parents shouldn’t have any unfounded ideas, right?
“Okay!”
Su Yuan shook his head and walked into the dormitory, freshened up, and went to the second-floor Cultivation Room, taking out several Space Rings.
Some of these rings were from the group that attacked Zhou Lanqing;
And the others were from Sino, Yin Manli, and the others.
Su Yuan had glanced at them previously but hadn’t examined them thoroughly.
Now back at the academy, he could finally scrutinize them all.
“Identification, Sino Bach?
He must be some noble; I remember he mentioned something about the Bach family before he died.”
“Random Space Transfer Token, didn’t use it decisively at that time?”
Su Yuan recalled, in the moment the ice giant hand was broken, Sino should have had the chance to use it.
But after that, he had prepared to finish Sino off, so there wasn’t any opportunity left…
“So many Star Stones, totaling over five thousand ci.
Indeed a noble.”
“Blue Star Card, [Ice Wheel Dance], [Frozen Hand]…
This [Ice Age] must have been obtained from the Twelve-pointed Snowflake challenge.
It seems to have T1-level strength.”
“This Green Rose Sword should fetch a good price, as well as these two Star Devices…”
…
Su Yuan meticulously sorted through everyone’s belongings, finding his gains even greater than expected.
Star Stones: over twelve thousand ci.
Blue Star Devices: 9 items, with Sino having 3, Yin Manli 2, the brown-haired youth and black-faced middle-aged man each having 1, and Chen Yongyi’s group having 2.
Blue Star Cards: 11 cards, mostly ice-element Star Cards obtained from the Secret Realm, ranging from summoning and attack to defense and control.
Various materials, star power tools, and talismans were also plentiful.
Su Yuan carefully selected a few premium items, then sorted the rest into several rings as Star Cards, Star Devices, and materials, preparing to find channels to dispose of them.
