Just then, Chen Shu’s phone rang.
“Hmm? Teacher Liu?”
Chen Shu answered the call without hesitation.
Liu Feng’s anxious voice came through, “Chen Pi, are you injured?”
Chen Shu felt a warmth spread through his heart. Liu Feng’s first reaction wasn’t to reprimand him, but to inquire about his safety.
“Teacher, I’m fine. Those who are in trouble are probably others…”
“You rascal, don’t be impulsive!”
Liu Feng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, “We’re on our way. Everything can still be salvaged!”
“Teacher, there’s no need to salvage anything. I haven’t done anything wrong…”
Chen Shu spoke, “I’ll explain everything to you after this is over…”
Hearing this, Liu Feng relaxed, realizing he hadn’t misjudged Chen Shu. Chen Shu’s actions must have had a reason.
Liu Feng said, “Don’t be impulsive anymore! Even if you have to kill someone, wait until we get there!”
“Teacher, I’ll try my best…”
Chen Shu sighed. He could wait, but Dali couldn’t.
Once the legendary beast tamer’s healing skill wore off, Dali would truly be beyond saving.
“I have some situations here, I can’t talk anymore…”
Chen Shu hung up the phone and looked at the beast tamers around him, their eyes filled with greed.
Liu Feng believed him, but others might not.
Meanwhile, in a certain sea area,
Liu Feng and the others were flying at high speed. Even though they were King-level, crossing the sea still took time.
“Brother Qin, I told you Chen Pi’s actions had a reason, didn’t I?”
Liu Feng looked at Qin Tian beside him, a smile in his eyes.
Not only was Chen Shu not guilty, but he had also successfully broken through to the Gold level.
What was initially a disaster had turned into immense good fortune.
Besides the two of them, the Minister of the Dragon Guard, Chen Qinghai, and the Governor of Nan Cang, Fang Wei, had also arrived.
To ensure Chen Shu’s safe return to the country, they had dispatched four King-level experts. This was a significant undertaking!
According to the old man’s words, even if Chen Shu were guilty, it was they who should judge him!
“Don’t just say that! Ten revered spiritual chefs have had incidents because of him!”
Qin Tian also felt relieved but maintained a serious expression, saying, “It’s impossible that they are all criminals, right?”
“What’s impossible about it?”
Liu Feng shrugged and said, “I’ve felt for a long time that those ten old geezers were up to something!”
“……”
Qin Tian’s mouth twitched. You really dare to speak like that?
“You can’t just say things like that, or the entire spiritual chef community will condemn you.”
“I’m a King-level expert, what am I afraid of? Can they cook me?”
Liu Feng curled his lips and then looked at the other two, saying,
“By the way, Old Chen, Old Fang, don’t you guys go spreading rumors!”
“……”
The two smiled helplessly. Your changes in demeanor are truly swift…
However, if Liu Feng really offended the spiritual chef community, although he wouldn’t suffer any consequences, his reputation on Blue Star would be ruined…
“But seriously, if he’s truly guilty, I’ll still arrest him personally!”
Qin Tian’s expression turned serious and he said,
“And it’s better for him to be arrested by us than by foreign beast tamers.”
As the principal of the academy, he was an official representative, not of his personal stance, but of the academy and even the government.
“Brother Qin, I support you!”
Liu Feng nodded and then added,
“If you arrest him, I’ll secretly let him go.”
“……”
Qin Tian’s mouth twitched and he said, “Old Liu, you’re the Vice Principal now!”
“As you said, I’m just the deputy, so what am I afraid of!”
Liu Feng looked like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water and said, “Even if he’s a criminal, I’ll still save him!”
“Then I’ll arrest both of you!”
Qin Tian said, “Just in time to promote a new Vice Principal.”
“You two, that’s enough…”
Governor Fang, standing nearby, forcefully interrupted their conversation and said with a laugh,
“Why are you two like a father wanting to uphold justice by punishing his son, and a mother fiercely protecting her child…”
“Old Fang, that’s a very fitting metaphor! As expected of a cultured person!”
Chen Qinghai gave a thumbs-up and nodded in agreement.
“……”
The two immediately fell silent, utterly speechless.
After a moment, Qin Tian slowly said,
“Old Liu, did you hear that? Old Fang said you’re the mother!”
“???”
Liu Feng’s mouth twitched, and he shouted, “Get lost!”
The three of them burst into laughter, the serious atmosphere completely gone.
Based on past experience, as long as Chen Shu himself said he hadn’t done anything wrong, his actions would definitely be explainable.
…
Above Nan Qing City,
“I’m on the bounty list?”
Chen Shu sat on the shoulder of the Star Giant, crossing his legs, and was actually browsing his phone.
With such composure, even if he were arrested, he would probably be a legend among criminals…
“Fifty billion… I even want to turn myself in…”
Chen Shu muttered to himself, finally understanding why the beast tamers around him were like hungry wolves.
“This is that Gold brat? He’s worth that much?”
A King-level beast tamer from Africa licked his lips, his Blood-Eyed Eagle beneath him looking restless.
The man muttered to himself, “His contract spirit looks delicious…”
As soon as he finished speaking, a colossal hand made of starlight reached out towards him, as if intending to crush his contract spirit!
“Hmm?”
The man’s expression changed slightly, and he quickly urged his eagle to pull away.
African beast tamers were known for their fierce combat abilities, constantly hunting ferocious beasts. They naturally wouldn’t have the time to pay attention to external events.
He certainly wouldn’t have anticipated Chen Shu’s fiery temper…
“What are you yapping about?”
Chen Shu looked at the King-level beast tamer in the distance, who was in an awkward situation, and said,
“It’s always been my brother the Fierce Bandit eating other people’s contract spirits. When did it become your turn, a minor character, to set your sights on me?”
“Minor character?”
The African man grinned cruelly and said, “Brat, I’ll remember you…”
However, before he could finish his sentence, he saw three giant cleavers forged from starlight flying towards him…
“Damn it!”
The man’s expression changed drastically, and he quickly activated his defensive skills. Yet, the power of a top-tier King-level expert still managed to injure one of his contract spirits.
“Do you remember now?”
Chen Shu smiled slightly, his eyes filled with mockery.
“……”
The man fell silent, glared fiercely at Chen Shu, and retreated several thousand meters.
Although their voices were not loud, the beast tamers present had extraordinary eyesight and could naturally discern the meaning of their words by looking at their lips.
“This thing is really useful…”
Chen Shu patted the Star Giant beneath him. If he had known he had such a bodyguard, what else would he have been afraid of?
Just then, his expression flickered, and he locked onto Mi Kun in the crowd!
“No, what are you yapping about again?”
“???”
Mi Kun’s expression was bewildered. He hadn’t said a single word!
