Chapter 731: Bai Feng's Return (3)
Xia Yunji laughed, "You? What do you want? Ask for it from your teacher. We're only here to pick you up. We don't care about anything else."
Bai Feng felt very helpless. What could his teacher even give him? Nothing! Fuck! He really wanted to just quit everything. He thought of what his student had received and compared it with what he had received. His disassembly method must be as valuable as Su Yu's cultivation methods, right?
Long term, those cultivation methods were better. But short term, his disassembly method was definitely amazing. His disassembly method would greatly boost the strength of a large number of old cultivators. What a pity. He didn't have the courage to come clean as the actual creator of the disassembly method.
His teacher didn't even dare to claim that it could be used by Cloudbreaches and Mountainseas. Otherwise, things would turn even crazier.
Regardless, Bai Feng still smiled and said, "Forget it. Us cultural researchers don't care about benefits. We don't research for profit or fame. That student of mine has lost himself to fame. That isn't a good thing. What a pity. If he had remained under me, he would have accomplished more things in the future. Alas, he will have no choice but to settle with what he has learned from me thus far. I'm afraid he won't be able to produce any good cultivation methods anymore after this."
He shook his head and sighed, looking like a father lamenting the exhaustion of his son's talent.
Xia Yunji and the others said nothing about that. Bai Feng said, "Let's stop talking about that kid. He has been messing around with that little bit of talent he has. After a few years, he will come to regret not learning properly from me while he has the chance. He will probably grow old with regret."
After saying that, he started stepping toward the portal. Xia Yunji and the others walked with him. At this time, Zhao Mingyue asked about the only thing she cared about, "How is Liu Wenyan?"
"He's fine." Bai Feng said, "My martial uncle is doing good. Each time a battle broke out, he would run toward Zheng Yuming and the others. Life has been terrible for Old Zheng. He has been fighting so many enemy Mountainseas that he doesn't even have the chance to recover before he receives a new injury."
"..."
The others were left speechless. Strictly speaking, that was not allowed in the army. But Liu Wenyan's actual cultivation level was too low. He was only a Skysoar. One couldn't tell him to fight the enemy Mountainseas, right?
Thus, an exception was made for him. What could they do? He was too weak. The military couldn't possibly tell him to just throw his life away, right? That would also invite numerous protests.
Xia Yunji and the others laughed at the thought of what Liu Wenyan had been doing. Before long, they were out of the portal.
On the other side of the portal was the Allheaven Prefecture. This place was also filled with soldiers. The Allheaven Prefecture was a prefecture founded to guard the portal to the Allheaven Battlefield. This was essentially a military prefecture with no civilians.
After walking out of the portal, Bai Feng inhaled deeply and said, "In the end, the Human Realm still has the better air. Even the sunlight here feels better. The Allheaven Battlefield might be filled with source qi, but that place reeks of blood. A scholar like me has no business being at a place like that."
He switched to voice transmission and asked, "Martial Uncle Xia, is my teacher fine?"
"He's fine for now. Some Invincibles are still waiting for his research result before making a decision. The myriad races are also unsure about the stage of his research. Things might get even more troublesome if Hong Tan decides to publish a fake result before passing on the actual result to some unknown person instead, so the myriad races are keeping an eye on him as well.
"You should worry about yourself. You're the first person to use the disassembly method, so the myriad races might have their eyes on you as well. Your journey back might not be peaceful."
Bai Feng nodded and asked, "Are the three of you the only ones here to pick me up? Since Great Xia is aware that I might be in danger, why didn't they send a few Sunmoons over?"
"They're running out of Sunmoons."
Xia Yunji said, "Yuan Qingdong seems free. Do you want him to be the one picking you up?"
***
Great Ming.
Su Yu learned of Bai Feng's return not long after Bai Feng stepped through the portal.
His teacher had returned after less than half a year. But this return trip might not be a smooth one.
"They didn't send any Sunmoon to escort him?"
Inside his cultivation room, Su Yu was frowning. Were the Sunmoons escorting him in secret, or was Great Xia really in such a bad situation?
"Senior Xia Yunji and the others...are they enough to safely escort Teacher back to Great Xia?"
After all, Xia Yunji, Hu Ping, and Zhao Mingyue might also be the potential targets of the myriad races.
One could say that the myriad races had basically reached an agreement to hunt and kill the experts of the multiple character faction. They made that intention clear enough. With so many multiple character faction experts appearing together without the escort of a Sunmoon, the myriad races could easily kill them.
After a short silence, Su Yu walked out of the room.
A short while later, a Mountainsea dressed as a woman flew out of Tiandu.
President of the Travelling Merchants Association, Xu Bin, also known as the Hundred Arm Thief. Xu Bin was in a bad mood. He really wanted to just run off like this, but where could he go?
"Damn it! Just what did those Sunmoons leave in my body? Will I die if I run off just like this?"
He wasn't sure. After a long while, he sighed in resignation. Since he might die, he might as well carry out the task assigned to him.
"At the very least, I'm out of that dangerous place. Great Ming...is not a comfortable place to stay anymore."
Great Ming felt more and more dangerous nowadays. It was as though he was constantly under monitoring. There was zero freedom there. He would rather leave that place to perform some missions. At the very least, he wouldn't feel as constrained.
"Su Yu..."
Great Ming sure placed a lot of importance on that kid. No matter what, he was a Mountainsea. But Great Ming had generously assigned him to that kid. Since when were Mountainseas so unimportant?
Apart from him, Su Yu even had three Mountainsea beasts by his side. And there was also a Sunmoon constantly guarding the kid from the dark. The kid was even better protected than the kids of the Zhu Family.
"Bai Feng..."
Xu Bin curled his lips. Bai Feng sure was useless. Just look at how well his student was doing. If that kid was the one returning to the human realm, he would have received the escort of seven or eight Sunmoons. Meanwhile, the pitiful Bai Feng did not receive even one.
Xu Bin felt better at the thought that at the very least, he wasn't doing as badly as Bai Feng. That was the only thing he could tell himself to make him feel better.
