Time passed quietly. In the blink of an eye, a month had already passed. Bai Chen’s injuries that he received from the fight with Wu Fan were completely healed.
He was teaching the little Zhien Wu Shuang his techniques in their room inside a tavern.
Zhien Wu Shuang was a diligent girl. She would likely be able to become a nascent cultivator within days.
Seeing that, Bai Che smiled kindly at her, while thinking about what to do next.
Wu Fan, the man who’d killed his beloved women was dead. Bai Chen was relieved.
However, he could not stay still. Even though Wu Fan was a bad man who planned to kill every system owner in the present world, he was not the strongest among 12 of them.
The strongest one was the owner of Sigray, the ninth system. His name was Lua Jin Ming.
Lua Jin Ming’s strength was incomparable. He was Bai Chen’s arch enemy in the future.
His future self had had a hard time dealing with Lua Jin Ming himself before he had been able to kill him.
One could say that his future self had almost lost to Lua Jin Ming in the last fight of the war!
‘My next target is Lua Jin Ming!’ Bai Chen decided. He thought that getting rid of Lua Jin Ming the earlier the better.
“It’s a shame that Lua Jin Ming isn’t in Wu Zhou territory.” Bai Chen could not help but shake his head. “Maybe I should reach the legendary realm faster and go see Lua Jin Ming in Ping Zhou territory!”
It was obvious from Bai Chen’s words that Lua Jin Ming was not in Wu Zhou, but Ping Zhou territory.
Going there was not easy. It was a very long way to travel.
There was only one way to go there: taking the Wu dynasty’s qi ferry.
Among the seven authorities, only the Wu dynasty owned the qi ferry.
However, to be on it was not easy. For the past hundred years, they had never let anyone on it.
“It sounds difficult, but there’s still a way,” Bai Chen muttered to himself. His mysterious-looking eyes looked outside the window, seeing pedestrians everywhere.
“I haven’t seen the notification saying that there’re only 6 system owners left. That means there’re still more than 6 of them.” Bai Chen blinked several times.
There would be a notification if 6 owners had died.
“However, it shouldn’t be long since I already killed 3 of them.”
Bai Chen was very confident that he would receive the notification soon. The 3 owners whom he had killed were Tien Wen, Han De, and Wu Fan.
“Big bro Bai, what are you mumbling about?” While Bai Chen was thinking about things, Zhien Wu Shuang’s cute voice asked this question.
She was focusing on absorbing the celestial qi when he heard Bai Chen’s voice. That was why she opened her cute round eyes to look at him.
Bai Chen laughed softly. “Nothing. I’m just rambling. I’m sorry I distracted you.”
“Not at all.” Zhien Wu Shuang laughed happily. Talking with Bai Chen always made her happy.
p Bai Chen stood up from his wooden chair. He’d decided on something and looked at Zhien Wu Shuang.
“Wu Shuang, I won’t be around for five days. There’s some important business I have to take care of. Please don’t leave this room, understood?”
“Where are you going, big bro Bai?!?” Zhien Wu Shuang’s cute little face was alarmed. She was afraid that Bai Chen would leave her.
It was only normal for her to experience this fear because she had experienced a lot of hardships before. Meeting a kind man who actually took care of her and gave her a comfortable place to stay like Bai Chen was a blessing. That was why she was afraid that she would lose Bai Chen.
Bai Chen saw through her and smiled. He walked towards her and patted her head gently. “Don’t worry. I’ll be back for sure.”
“You promise?” Zhien Wu Shuang was hesitated. Then, she nodded with a serious face. This girl looked so adorable when she does a serious face.
“Of course.” Bai Chen smiled tenderly and made a pinky swear with Zhien Wu Shuang.
Once he did that, he said goodbye and gave her a high-grade defensive item. He insisted that she must not leave this room. He even put a spell on her so that she would not feel hungry for the next 5 days.
Then, he put up a barrier for the room. Once everything was complete, Bai Chen left immediately.
He reappeared again up in the sky not so far from Wu Zhou city.
“I didn’t plan to go back before I win the war. However, now that Wu Fan is dead, I feel like going back.” Bai Chen stared into the night sky.
The moon was there in the middle of the sky. It was truly brilliantly beautiful. He inhaled deeply.
“I’ll be back there only for 5 days. Just 5 days. That shouldn’t be enough time for other owners to surpass me!” Bai Chen murmured softly. “I want to go back to the present world!”
Suddenly, a translucent window popped up in front of him.
---
[Would you like to go back to the present world?]
(Yes) (No)
---
Bai Chen’s finger pushed the yes button.
In the next second, a beautiful silver dimension rift appeared in front of him. It was big enough for a lot of people to go in at the same time. The middle of it was like an aggressive whirlpool.
It was obvious that it was a dimensional rift that led Bai Chen back to the present world. It was the same one that Namiana had used to bring him here.
Bai Chen looked at the rift for a short while before walking in without hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, he vanished into the silver dimensional rift.
The place went back to normal as if there was never a dimensional rift there before.
However, a few people knew about it.
The other system owners received a notification that popped up in front of them informing that one of them was going back to the present world!
