The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 189 — What Happened?
Before Lian Huanran asked as to how it turned out, Lian Haocun had already explained, “Chao Bence agreed to help look for Bai and Cheng, and would order some magical beasts from the Mofa Forest to search as well. So, ...settle yourself Huanran.”
Lian Huanran nodded with a complicated look, then in a somewhat raucous, and hoarse voice, Lian Huanran asked, “What are we going to do after this? Are we going back to Noula City to find Bai and Cheng?”
“No.” Lian Haocun replied firmly, Lian Huanran did not expect Lian Haocun to refuse and reflexively looked up to look Lian Haocun in the eyes.
“Send that matter to Brother and Chao Bence, you must refocus to immediately master the alchemist science. Plus two more months, realm ‘Midgard’ Ancient Kingdom will be opened, we must get ready for it.” Continue Lian Huanran with an indisputable tone.
The explanation seemed reasonable, but what Lian Huanran felt was different, he felt that his sister was completely indifferent to losing Bai and Cheng plus his indifferent and cold tone further strengthened that impression.
Thinking of that, Lian Huanran felt annoyed and angry. In a tone full of anger, Lian Huanran said, “Did Big Brother not care about Bai and Cheng's situation at all!? What if they are in danger!? What for Big Brother, that realm is more important than Bai and Cheng who have accompanied us for decades!?”
Lian Huanran's hand clenched tightly as he said that. However, as much as possible, Lian Huanran tried to suppress his tone, so as not to be too high and not too low, even so, he said, Lian Haocun clearly knew that Lian Huanran was holding back anger through her tone.
Looking directly into Lian Huanran's eyes, Lian Haocun replied, “No, Big Brother cares, but even so we can't change all of our plans. You have to trust Chao Bence, he can definitely find Bai and Cheng, plus Big Brother will also intervene directly to help Chao Bence to search.”
Lian Huanran still could not accept it, but he also did not want to fight with his Brother. So, he could only bite his lips and nod his head, pretending to approve. Though in his mind, it had already formed a plan to go to Noula City secretly.
“Not only that, through the magical beast contract, Big Brother didn't feel Bai was in any danger at all, so he should be fine. And Brother is sure, if Cheng will not be separated from Bai, so he should also be fine.” Said Lian Haocun to relieve Lian Huanran's anxiety.
Seeing Lian Huanran's expression, Lian Haocun said some things to distract Lian Huanran, before letting Lian Huanran return to Shen Nong's place. Lian Haocun deliberately did not deliver Lian Huanran to Shen Nong's place so that he could calm his chaotic emotions.
After he finished reporting the mission, Long Yuan, Yun Shao and Qian Wenwu returned to the dormitory and found Lian Haocun not in the dormitory. Long Yuan thought Lian Haocun was accompanying his sister to Shen Nong Pavilion, and did not think too much about it. Feeling tired, Long Yuan, Yun Shao and Qian Wenwu dropped themselves onto the soft bed, then fell asleep.
On the other hand, Lian Haocun returned to Noula City with the help of a teleportation talisman inside the storage ring given by Shen Wenhuan through Chao Bence nine years ago. Without further ado, he directly explored Noula City and its surroundings in search of Bai and Cheng. Indeed they are fine for now, but not necessarily the same for the future, so Lian Haocun wants to find them immediately.
Time passed by without notice, when Lian Haocun looked up at the sky, the sky was already dark, yet he was still unable to find Bai and Cheng. Looking at the dark sky, reluctantly, Lian Haocun returned to his dormitory in the Jade Wolf Sect using the teleportation talisman from Shen Wenhuan. If ordinary cultivators saw Lian Haocun's actions, they would probably die from anger seeing this waste.
Back at the dormitory, Lian Haocun looked at Long Yuan who was still awake, as well as Yun Shao and Qian Wenwu who were asleep, they both looked exhausted. Noticing the existence of Lian Haocun who had just entered, Long Yuan greeted him, and asked Lian Haocun pleasantries, “Night, what did you do until it came back this late?”
Lian Haocun looked at Long Yuan, then said, “Night.” He answered only the answer and not the question. Accustomed to Lian Haocun's cold demeanor, Long Yuan did not say anything, but unexpectedly, Lian Haocun continued, “Ku was finishing a business.”
Long Yuan who felt quite surprised was responded by Lian Haocun, “...” Is the sun rising from the West today?
The night passed peacefully. As usual, Lian Haocun was not sleeping, but cultivating, while recovering some of the injuries he had gotten from the mission in Noula City. In his mind, he had already planned to go to Noula City again the next day. Only Lian Haocun did not expect that tomorrow he would find something quite surprising.
