Chapter 1099: Grand

Grand

"So he is Chen Ling..."

"He looks exactly the same as in the newspaper, he's so good-looking!!"

"Right, right!!! Those two issues of the newspaper related to him were completely worn out by Little Peach and the others! Up to now I still don't know whose hands they're in..."

"I report! Sister Miao secretly cut out the newspaper and hid it under her pillow!!"

"Little Peach! What... what nonsense are you saying?!!"

"Did you guys see? He can maintain his color even outside the canopy of the Mother Tree. That red Theatrical Robe is so beautiful..."

"He truly has no trace of Calamity fusion on him, just like a normal person... Is this what Teacher Ye said, the one and only Fusionist in the world? The special grade among special grades, the outlier among outliers."

"No brother, why is my heart thumping wildly?!"

Whispers came from the crowd. Everyone was curiously sizing up that slightly stiff figure in the Theatrical Robe. They specifically stood on both sides of the road, leaving the largest and most spacious road in the middle for Chen Ling and the others, only falling short of laying a red carpet on the ground.

Chen Ling sighed deeply in his heart. Only after Zhao Yi nudged him twice with his elbow again did he step forward.

Thud——

Just as Chen Ling took two steps out, a pitch-black teenager's legs directly went soft, kneeling heavily before him.

Chen Ling: ?????

Chen Ling fiercely froze in place.

What's the situation?!!

On his first day arriving at the Integration Faction, not only did he directly have everyone come out to welcome him and put on airs, but he also forced a child to kneel on the spot... If this spread out, his reputation in the Human Domains would probably be ruined again.

Not only him, but the other Integration Faction members were also dumbfounded. They blankly looked at the pitch-black teenager performing a grand kneeling ceremony, and then looked at Chen Ling with an incredibly strange expression standing in front of him. The air fell into deathly silence...

"Little White, what are you doing?" A young girl beside him hurriedly stepped forward, trying to pull him up. "There are so many people... Don't let Mister Chen Ling see a joke, get up quickly!"

"It's not that I don't want to get up... I... I don't know why... I just can't stand..."

The pitch-black teenager called Little White even carried a hint of a crying tone in his voice. He forcefully knocked his soft legs twice, his whole body trembling uncontrollably...

Right at this moment, Chen Ling seemed to realize something, gently sniffing with his nose.

"The Calamity on your body... does it come from the Ghost Mockery Abyss?"

Chen Ling's voice falling into Little White's ears was like a demon whispering. Little White only felt that his heart was about to burst from beating. He opened his mouth and just as he wanted to say something, his eyes rolled back and he fainted on the spot.

"Little White!! Little White, are you okay?!"

"What's going on? He's not in his onset period either... Quickly go find Teacher Ye!"

"No need."

A magnetic youth's voice sounded from the entrance of the Mother Tree.

The instant they heard this voice, everyone turned their heads to look, a touch of joy flashing in their eyes... Only to see a man wearing an ordinary gray shirt walking straight towards here.

He dressed simply and had an ordinary appearance, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses resting on the bridge of his nose. If he tucked two textbooks under his arm, he would be a young teacher who could be found in any random middle school... And not the kind of teacher full of oppressiveness like in math, physics, or chemistry. His expression and voice were very gentle and casual, like a minor subject teacher teaching history or music.

"Teacher Ye! Quickly take a look at Little White... Little White he..."

"He's fine, it's just that the incompletely fused Calamity in his body was frightened by the Aura of the King... He will be fine after going back and sleeping." Teacher Ye looked at the two teenagers beside him. "Could I trouble you two to carry Little White back? Be gentler on the way."

"No problem! Teacher Ye!"

The two teenagers immediately rolled up their sleeves, easily carrying the Little White lying on the ground onto their backs, and hurriedly walked towards the depths of the Mother Tree.

After the interlude ended, Teacher Ye passed through the crowd, coming straight to Chen Ling, pushing his glasses with an apologetic face:

"I've made you see a joke, Mister Chen."

"... It's fine." Chen Ling glanced at the figure of the teenager being carried away. "Rather, it's me who caused trouble for you..."

"Haha, it's our honor that Mister Chen Ling is willing to come to the Integration Faction." Teacher Ye slightly turned sideways, making a gesture of invitation,

"Mister Chen, please go this way."

Zhao Yi and the others didn't follow Chen Ling. They knew that next was the private time between the Integration Faction's leader and Chen Ling.

After Chen Ling and Teacher Ye disappeared into the Mother Tree entrance, the surrounding teenagers fiercely gathered beside Zhao Yi, chattering noisily!

"Holy Son, Holy Son!! So what you said before about growing up with Chen Ling is true?!"

"Then is it also true that you always bullied him when you were little??"

"Old Wolf, you guys went to the Wuji Domain this time, did you fight with the Silver King?"

"You guys actually really brought Chen Ling back!! That's too cool, right?! Holy Son, you're so amazing..."

"..."

Zhao Yi enjoyed the full admiration and curiosity from his surroundings, feeling an indescribable pleasure in his heart. While calmly waving his hand, pretending to put on a breezy posture, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising:

"Aiya, these are all small matters... Going to the Wuji Domain this time was truly too dangerous... The things that happened, you guys wouldn't even dare to imagine!"

"Ah?? Really??? Holy Son, quickly tell us."

"Sigh, rushing all this way, your Holy Son is a bit hungry... My shoulders are also a bit sore..."

"I'll go get you snacks!!"

"Holy Son, I'll massage your shoulders..."

...

The noisy sounds at the entrance gradually faded away. Chen Ling followed behind Teacher Ye, walking up several flights of treehouse stairs, the wooden planks under his feet emitting creaking sounds.

Finally, Teacher Ye pushed open a wooden door, entering a room similar to an office... Calling it an office, but this room was truly somewhat small. The only advantage lay in the good view. An open large window faced the Gray World sky. Standing here, one could look far into the distance.

"Our Integration Faction is located in the depths of the Gray World, the living conditions are simple. Mister Chen, please don't be disgusted." Teacher Ye smiled helplessly while brewing tea.

Chen Ling looked around, sitting down on the chair opposite him,

"This is already quite good... To be honest, I never thought there would be such a place in the Gray World."

"Oh? What kind of place?"

"Safe, natural, comfortable... lively."

A cup of steaming hot tea was handed in front of Chen Ling. Teacher Ye raised his eyebrows, nodding rather proudly. "That is indeed true... Although our place here is simple, the atmosphere is not worse than those Human Domains...

How is it, Mister Chen? Did you like the welcome ceremony just now?"

"Uh..." Chen Ling paused for a moment. "... It was somewhat too grand."

"Grand?"

Teacher Ye laughed heartily, taking a sip of tea, speaking unhurriedly,

"The Special Envoy of the Golden Society who arrogantly shouted 'Someone come welcome me' at the entrance of the Red Dust Domain back then... The Six of Hearts who had Lu Xun clear the way for you under the watchful eyes of everyone in the Tianshu Domain, but now you're actually not used to even this kind of small scene?"
