Yuan Chong was just hot-tempered but reasonable; he was already easy to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Chu is truly righteous—he rushed to aid Master Xiong the moment he heard of trouble,” Zhao Mingye added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I never rushed—I kept retreating,” Chu Danqing said dryly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was he supposed to rush for? To deliver himself as prey?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could barely run fast enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough talk—let’s move,” Chu Danqing urged. Getting there early meant securing the terrain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Chong spoke and led the group forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cuiniang was left behind at the estate—Yuan Chong claimed it was to prevent her from sabotaging things; Chu Danqing knew it was really to spare her life and let her flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be honest, this is my fault,” Yuan Chong sighed on the road. “When Shanhu’s mother died, I was obsessed with martial arts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So I forcibly took Cuiniang as a concubine to care for Shanhu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Later, she repeatedly asked me to elevate her to wife status—I feared it would harm Shanhu, so I ignored her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t resent her finding a lover—after a forced marriage, she was essentially a living widow. But she had no right to steal a sword manual.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Yuan Chong’s explanation, Chu Danqing’s mind felt like mush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood every word—but why did Yuan Chong’s priorities perfectly contradict his own?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, you never saw her as a wife—just a servant,” Chu Danqing reoriented his thinking, and it made sense—but even more absurd: “Then why did you forcibly marry her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Chong gave Chu Danqing a strange look. “Cuiniang was always a concubine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that, Chu Danqing realized—concubines had status little better than servants or property.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Concubines truly had no rights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, why would Cuiniang keep pushing to be elevated?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can’t talk to people like you,” Chu Danqing thought—his mindset remained modern; if he had to adapt, it should be to a paradise, not a trial world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Chu, familiar scent—over there,” Da Bao leaned close, pointing in a direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing immediately said, “Stop.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked Da Bao: “Whose scent?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Attractive,” Da Bao replied—he’d never paid attention to Yuan Shanhu, only thought of beating her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he used her past behavior as reference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s your daughter’s scent,” Chu Danqing told Yuan Chong, then added: “Can you catch up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Strange—why leave a scent here?” Chu Danqing wondered. If it were present, Da Bao should’ve smelled it from the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She, pee, in pocket,” Da Bao answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Bao’s blunt honesty froze the atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one expected Yuan Shanhu to be detected this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Chong’s face flushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was, undeniably, logical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough—your daughter is clever, using such a trick to break the deadlock,” Chu Danqing smoothed things over. “Da Bao, lead the way—we’re chasing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget these small details now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Bao sniffed, quickly chose a direction, and led ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Chu Danqing’s words, the tension eased, and everyone followed Da Bao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chu Danqing lagging, Yuan Chong grabbed him and carried him forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His stats were indeed high, but everyone else had internal energy and lightness arts, and Chu Danqing carried the divine shrine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, the Five Elements Spirit Beast Scripture was a summoning lineage—Chu Danqing was left with only his base stats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be said that Yuan Chong's high-level skills have given him benefits no less valuable than his attributes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing immediately relaxed, even considering learning a lightness art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good thing it was just a thought—he had no real intention of learning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he ever wanted to learn movement or speed skills, he’d pick summoning-based ones, to avoid future system incompatibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1069,"2026-06-20T00:54:40.605Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","4a91a95d192360b6ba607c2daf58a3af0f64864acbcd3cc6a002776fe9b45803","dimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-chapter-98","dimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-chapter-96",305,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-cover.jpg"]
