Chapter 1240: Heading to the South Sea

Heading to the South Sea

Seeing this scene, Chen Ling raised an eyebrow in some surprise.

Old Wolf's brows furrowed tighter and tighter. He stepped forward, wanting to yank Little White out of the shadow, but Chen Ling waved his hand:

"Forget it, let him come along... He's right. I might not have time to take care of Little Peach when the time comes, and having another person to help will be more convenient."

If it were anyone else wanting to follow, Chen Ling definitely wouldn't have been willing. He himself could easily infiltrate the South Sea Domain, and bringing along a Little Peach was his limit. But Little White was able to hide in the shadow, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Seeing Chen Ling speak up, Old Wolf said no more.

"Mister Chen, have a safe journey," Teacher Ye spoke earnestly.

"Mm."

Little Peach's injuries couldn't be delayed any longer. Since he had decided to go to the South Sea Domain, Chen Ling set off immediately.

"It's Big Brother Chen Ling. Where is he going?"

"Big Brother Chen Ling is going to the South Sea Domain. He said he's going to prepare a new home for us!"

"Really???"

"Of course it's true. Have you forgotten? Big Brother Chen Ling is a legend in the Human Domains! He's the great hero who repelled World-Ending Calamities several times and even suppressed the Silver King!! With him personally stepping forward to go to the South Sea Domain, the South Sea Domain will definitely give us face!"

"So that's how it is!! Then wouldn't we be able to smoothly enter the South Sea Domain?!"

"With Big Brother Chen Ling personally taking action, there definitely won't be any problems!!"

"Thank you, Big Brother Chen Ling!!"

"Have a safe journey, Big Brother Chen Ling!!!"

"Big Brother Chen Ling! We will quickly go to the South Sea Domain to rendezvous with you!!"

"..."

The news that Chen Ling had gone to open a path for them quickly spread throughout the Integration Faction. The children's originally gloomy eyes finally lit up with a radiance of hope. They stood up one after another, waving to see Chen Ling off.

Hearing the children's cheers from behind, Chen Ling's footsteps paused slightly...

His fists clenched silently beneath his large crimson sleeves.

Amidst the children's hopeful shouts, invisible mountains pressed upon Chen Ling's shoulders. He silently advanced along the barren earth. Enveloped by the heavy mountains, the Great Crimson Theatrical Robe grew smaller and smaller, finally turning into a speck of dust that vanished at the end of the barren earth.

...

South Sea Domain.

The Pu Family.

In a spacious and brightly lit Chinese-style courtyard, a young girl sat on a grand armchair with her legs crossed. Her fingers gently pinched a crystal-clear green grape, her red lips parted slightly, and she swallowed it. She happily chewed slowly and swallowed, feeling an indescribable comfort.

"Little Sister, why are you still idling here? Aren't you going to practice calligraphy?" A youth strode in and became somewhat speechless upon seeing her like this.

"I'm tired of practicing, what's wrong with resting a bit!"

Pu Xiachan replied with perfect assurance.

"..." The youth sighed. "Little Sister, although you hold a Celestial Star Position and have become one of the officially recognized new generation of prodigies, you absolutely must not become complacent... You know the Old Master never cares about those empty titles. If he sees you being so undisciplined, even if you are a prodigy, you'll still be served with the cane."

Hearing the words 'Old Master', Pu Xiachan clearly felt somewhat guilty, but she still put her hands on her hips and spoke with perfect assurance:

"Hmph, he's just old and can't stand seeing us youngsters idle... Forget it, forget it. This lady suddenly feels her hands itching a bit, I'll go casually practice a few strokes."

Saying she was going to practice calligraphy, Pu Xiachan still walked outside holding that basket of grapes, wobbling unsteadily like an old man getting ready to go walk his bird.

Seeing this, the youth still couldn't help but say:

"Little Sister, if you really have nothing to do while idling, come with your brother to go pick someone up."

"Pick someone up? Who?" Pu Xiachan tilted her head in thought. "For Second Brother to personally go pick them up, it should only be the elders in the family... Is it Second Uncle, Sixth Uncle, or Seventh Uncle?"

"None of them. They aren't from our Pu Family."

"Not from the Pu Family? And they can make you personally go pick them up?"

Pu Xiachan instantly became interested. After all, right now, as long as she wasn't made to practice calligraphy, she was willing to join in on any excitement.

"Then let's go!!"

Holding the grapes, Pu Xiachan went out the door and got into the youth's car. With a low roar, the vehicle slowly drove toward the direction of the Realm Train Station.

While riding in the car, Pu Xiachan asked curiously:

"Speaking of which, what exactly is this person's background?"

"That person's situation is relatively complicated... Strictly speaking, he represents the will of a certain top-tier combat power in the Human Domains, but he was exiled here... from the Tianshu Domain."

"The Tianshu Domain?" Pu Xiachan was startled. "But hasn't the Tianshu Domain already..."

"Yes, the Tianshu Domain has already been surrounded by the Sighing Wilderness, but he set off before it was surrounded." The youth spoke slowly. "At first, he was exiled to the Spirit Void Domain. But along the way, news of the Tianshu Domain being attacked came, and the higher-ups urgently changed his destination, having him transit through the Hanging Jade Domain and come toward the South Sea."

"This is too much tossing about... What on earth did he do??" Pu Xiachan found it hard to understand.

"Speaking of which, if he represents the will of a certain top-tier combat power, how could he be 'exiled'?"

"I heard he did a major thing that offended all the higher-ups of the Domains... I'm not clear on the specifics either. The Old Master just had me come pick him up, but didn't let me ask too much."

"The Old Master personally asked you to come pick him up? A big shot!"

Pu Xiachan became more and more interested in this mysterious person.

The car quickly parked around the train station. After Pu Xiachan and the youth got out, they headed straight for the platform.

Because the Tianshu Domain was attacked, the hub of the Realm Trains was nearly paralyzed. The platform of the South Sea Domain could only receive trains from the Cangyun and Hanging Jade Domains. Looking around, there was hardly anyone to be seen...

The two waited for a long time. Finally, a black train covered in Curse Runes pulled in here amid the roaring of its whistle.

Wooo—!!!

Pu Xiachan didn't like this loud noise. She covered her ears with her hands, her gaze fixed on the slowly stopping train, curiously observing every passenger who alighted from it.

"What kind of clothes is that person wearing?"

"It should be a black windbreaker with a few silver Markings on the hem. It's said his temperament is very special, and he can be recognized in a crowd at a glance."

"Black windbreaker? Silver Markings?" Pu Xiachan was startled, subconsciously turning her head to look at the youth.

"What is his name?"

A figure wearing an Enforcer windbreaker, holding a black leather suitcase in hand, slowly stepped off the carriage and onto the soil of the South Sea Domain.

The youth thought for a moment,

"I think it's called... Han Meng?"
