Chapter 382

The gathering ended in harmony and pleasure.

Achieving cooperation is harmony; sharing old stories is pleasure.

But forming the United Legion is not that simple.

The general direction has been set, but there are still many details that need to be discussed.

However, these are not the business of the four sages Lin Ke, Se Lin, Pa Luo, and Ke Di; each legion has its own personnel handling them.

Leaving the clubhouse, seeing that it was already late, Lin Ke went straight home.

"How? How did the talks go?"

After returning home, Mo Li greeted Lin Ke while he changed his shoes and clothes, and at the same time asked after his well-being.

Lin Ke recounted to Mo Li in detail the two meetings he had today.

They are a married couple, have become one, and have also given birth to a daughter; there is nothing that needs to be concealed.

"It seems I need to speed up the pace of my transmutation phase."

After hearing that, Mo Li let out such a sigh.

Whether Lin Ke goes to the Main Campus Academy to take up a post, or the United Expedition to the Parallel Universe, the actual affairs of the Grand Sage Legion must be handled by Mo Li.

It is completely foreseeable that after entering the Parallel Universe, Lin Ke will simply not have much personal time.

No matter how the Immortal-Deity Civilization of the Parallel Universe and the Void Tranquil Heavenly Master himself truly feel about Lin Ke, at least one thing is certain: since the Immortal-Deity Civilization and the Void Tranquil Heavenly Master have shown an attitude of importance, they will certainly demonstrate corresponding actions on the surface.

"There's no need to be so anxious; just let things take their natural course."

Lin Ke, however, did not want Mo Li to rush the transmutation phase too much, lest an accident occur.

Although against the backdrop of a great change unseen in thousands of years, in recent years the Wizard World has yet to see an example of failure in promotion to Sage.

"It's fine; I've got it figured out, there won't be any problems."

She lightly patted Lin Ke's hand, and Mo Li's tone was extremely firm.

She used the precognitive ability shared by her natal spirit beast, the God-Eating Worm, and sensed no possibility of an accident.

"That also won't do."

Lin Ke frowned slightly, speaking firmly: "Things should be as they are; we cannot be blindly optimistic, nor can we recklessly rely on precognition. Don't you remember the lesson I learned from that time? Precognition is not omnipotent, and if someone intends to, it's very easy to interfere."

"Good, good, good."

Mo Li rolled her eyes in a pretty way and glared at Lin Ke.

Reasoning, she simply could not win against her own husband.

"Don't just say okay in words and then go wild as soon as you turn around."

Lin Ke, however, did not let it rest there, emphasizing: "You've pulled off several things behind my back before; this time you absolutely must not cause trouble—did you hear me?"

"Blah blah blah……"

Mo Li stuck out her tongue, made a funny face, and refused to respond.

So-called doing things behind Lin Ke's back is nothing more than accepting those few items of the Wizard Aptitude Improvement Trial from Sage Se Lin.

They have already apologized repeatedly, yet they still bring it up—really……

"Did you hear that?"

"I heard it, truly nagging."

Mo Li turned her head again, made a funny face, and then ran off directly.

"Sigh……"

Lin Ke shook his head and sighed: "She's already a mother, yet she's just like a child who never grows up."

"But what can be done?"

Having chosen one's own wife, even if tears are shed, one must go on.

Moreover, Lin Ke's daily life is going quite well; there's no need to shed tears.

In the following days, just like the past two years, things were very peaceful.

Until Lotesinuo. Gelandé fulfills his promise, going to the Academy Main Campus world to have a profound exchange with Ruiwo Grand Sage and Suosi Grand Sage.

Lin Ke then left the Wizard Continent mainland, re-entered the Academy Main Campus world, and became a teacher at the Main Campus Academy.

Mo Li, daughter Melia, and Jielunuo still remained on the mainland.

According to the academy's convention, wizards undergoing transformation usually take an idle post at either the elementary or advanced academy.

When it came to Mo Li, she was naturally no exception.

So, for the next several months, Lin Ke and Mo Li, this married couple, will live campus life.

Gelandé Grand Sage Regiment simultaneously set out, together with the Paluo Grand Sage Regiment and the Kedi Grand Sage Regiment, forming a joint regiment to conduct drills.

To prepare for the expedition into parallel universes, preliminary preparations were made.

Speaking of the Kedi Grand Sage Regiment, there is also an incident related to Lin Ke.

The foundation of the Kedi Grand Sage Regiment consists of the elite components of the two regiments of the Lukia family.

After several years of continuous screening, the Kedi Grand Sage has successfully eliminated all influence of the Lukia family.

The regiment still retains many wizards originally from the Lukia family, but the Kedi Grand Sage can pat his chest and guarantee that these wizards will only be loyal to the Kedi Grand Sage and will never again think of the original Lukia family.

Moreover, the Lukia family is gone, replaced by the Aqi family, which to this day shows no sign of returning to the Wizard Continent mainland.

Suolun. Aqi hasn't even heard a whisper.

It's unknown whether he has successfully advanced to Grand Sage by now.

If not, Lin Ke would completely lose the chance to take revenge with his own hands.

As a Grand Sage, it's hardly appropriate to bully the small and strike a fatal blow at a full-fledged wizard.

In that case, Lin Ke himself would be satisfied, but the Gelandé family he founded, 'Do Whatever You Want,' would also suffer some negative impact on its reputation.

Re-entering the Academy Main Campus world, Lin Ke was not merely going to serve as a teacher for several months.

The headquarters of "Do Anything Free" can finally officially move into the academy's main world.

It's been a while since we last contacted; Shan Duo La, whose relationship had grown somewhat distant, contributed a lot there.

Asande Konete officially became the highest administrator of "Do Anything Free", while Lin Ke, Mo Li, and Shan Duo La completely retreated behind the scenes.

Ruini Ke La Ke had long chosen Asande Konete over the Clark family.

This time, Ruini Ke La Ke took the opportunity to completely withdraw from all affairs of the Clark family.

Thus, on Ai Rui Si. Ke La Ke's side, she will be able to handle the Clark family more calmly in the future.

The benefits of the parallel universe are truly enormous.

Human greed is also never satisfied.

Although the Clark family has received abundant returns from Ai Rui Si. Ke La Ke, they still want more.

"A wise decision."

The day after moving back into the villa gifted by Dean Fulisite, Lin Ke warmly hosted Asande Konete and Ruini Ke La Ke as a couple.

"What wise or unwise, this is the only way I have."

Ruini Ke La Ke crossed her arms over her chest, speaking in a displeased tone.

"Heh..."

Lin Ke smiled, said nothing more, turned to Asande Konete and said, "'Do Anything Free' is now entirely in your hands, Asande Konete. Of course, if daily work interferes with your search for an opportunity to enter the transformation period, you can assign more tasks to Bei Di, Mi De, and Te Li."

The Benevolent Brother Group, which earliest became Lin Ke's close aides, have all entered the Grand Sage Legion.

Bei Di, Mi De, and Te Li are a trio of socially anxious individuals; compared to the Benevolent Brother Group, their aptitude and disposition are somewhat lacking. Even now, their strength remains insufficient to enter the Grand Sage Legion.

Lin Ke simply let them stay in "Do Anything Free" to develop.

"No problem, I will."

Asande Konete gave a steady reply.

He has always kept his position proper, essentially a professional manager.

Even though his sister-in-law Ai Rui Si. Ke La Ke was becoming increasingly impressive, her strength even surpassing Lin Ke's, this did not change.

After all, Asande Konete originally withdrew from the Paro Sage Legion, then defected to Lin Ke's side; even though semi‑independent, he did so because he saw Linke Grand's development potential.

Lin Ke merely lay low for two years; it's not that he lost his initial potential, so Asande Konete will naturally continue to back him rather than switch ships midway.

The three then stopped talking about business, chatted happily for a while, after which Asande Konete and Ruini Ke La Ke said their goodbyes.

Lin Ke personally saw them to the villa's outer gate.

In the following days, Lin Ke received no visitors and peacefully awaited the start of the term.

As for the communication between Luotesinuo Geleande, Great Sage Ruiwo, and Great Sage Suosi, Lin Ke had no intention of intervening.

Lin Ke only wanted to spend the next few months peacefully, then follow the arrangements of the Supreme Council and the Academy to make a trip to the parallel universe.

His idea ultimately came to fruition.

The coming few months passed just as peacefully as the previous two years.

Luotesinuo Geleande formally graduated from the Ruiwo Suosi Biological and Medical Academy.

From then on, Luotesinuo Geleande could leave the academy, break away from Lin Ke, his blood‑related elder brother, and do some rather "out‑there" things.

The academy and Lin Ke had already provided all the cover they could for Luotesinuo Geleande.

Favors have been fully repaid; we just need to wait quietly for the harvest.

"Are you ready?"

Dean Fulisite, who had not appeared for several months, showed up unexpectedly on the day Lin Ke finished his term as a teacher at the main academy.

"There's nothing to prepare."

Lin Ke had already packed his luggage and was about to leave the academy's main world.

He planned to stay a few days on the Wizard Continent proper, then ask Dean Fulisite when to go to the parallel universe.

Upon hearing Dean Fulisite's question, Lin Ke immediately understood that the Supreme Council and the Academy no longer intended to keep him hidden.

"In three days, the Academy will organize the first batch of pioneer personnel to enter the parallel universe."

Dean Fulisite said calmly, "Your joint legion is also on the first‑batch member list, but once there you cannot act independently for the time being; the Supreme Council has some matters that require your cooperation."

"What matters?"

Lin Ke asked.

"I don't know either."

Dean Fulisite shook his head, "The Academy asked Ai Rui Si. Ke La Ke, and she doesn't know either. Moreover, the celestial bureaucracy of the parallel universe's immortal‑god civilization and the Void‑Quiet Heavenly Master have not, through formal channels, raised any inquiries about you to the Supreme Council."

"I understand."

Lin Ke nodded, indicating understanding.

So, this time the Supreme Council wants to test or investigate something through him.

It doesn't matter either way.

Just be a good tool, and while serving as one, seize your own benefits.

Seeing that Lin Ke truly understood his meaning, Dean Fulisite prepared to leave.

The first batch of pioneer members from the Ruiwo Suosi Academy are about to embark on the parallel universe, and the dean has plenty of business.

Before departing, Dean Fulisite produced two scrolls out of thin air and tossed them to Lin Ke.

"Dean, what is this?"

Lin Ke called out to the departing Dean Fulisite, asking doubtfully.

He certainly recognized that the two scrolls in his hand were of extremely high specification, arcane scrolls.

He just didn't understand why Dean Fulisite would produce two arcane scrolls at this moment.

Or perhaps Lin Ke had formed some guesses and was seeking confirmation from the dean.

Dean Frister simply said: "These two scrolls are what my grandparents gave you to preserve your life. Grand Sage Michelle's Tower is developing decently in the parallel universe; the Supreme Council cannot possibly treat you as sincerely as the academy does. Moreover, the waters of the Supreme Council are deep; who knows which faction might strike a deal with Grand Sage Michelle's Tower, allowing it to target you. So I've prepared these for you."

"Thank you, Dean, thank you Grand Sage Ruiwo and Grand Sage Suosi, thank you the academy."

Lin Ke listened, immediately put away the two scrolls, then expressed his thanks.

Who would complain about having too many life-saving items?

Given Lin Ke's recent contact and perception, either of those two magic scrolls could likely unleash the power of a seventh- or even eighth-circle spell.

As a life-saving trump card for a fourth-circle sage, it's…… excessively luxurious.

Dean Frister paid little heed to Lin Ke's thanks, waved his hand, and vanished via teleport.

After that, no one stopped Lin Ke from returning to the wizard continent's mainland.

Lin Ke smoothly returned to his cozy little home, seeing his wife Mo Li, who had successfully advanced to sage, their daughter Melia, and the Garuna kept at home.

The family of four enjoyed a good reunion for several days.

Unfortunately, parting always arrives.

After leaving Melia and Garuna in Renee's care, Lin Ke and Mo Li embarked on the days of their expedition to the parallel universe.

Mo Li set out first, alongside Sage Selin, Sage Paro, and Sage Cody, leading the joint legion that had trained for over three months to the starfield designated by the academy, where they joined the first batch of vanguard forces.

Lin Ke, meanwhile, was taken by Dean Frister aboard an aircraft, crossing the West Coast to arrive at the Supreme Council located in the Central Lands.

"Lin Ke, long time no see."

Having become a fifth-circle sage, Ai Rui Si. Ke La Ke has over the years been thoroughly tempered; her personality is no longer as loud and boisterous as before.

Her way of greeting has changed from the former flying bear hug to a light embrace now.

Of course, it might also be that her close friend Mo Li, with whom she has never lost contact, asked her to do so.

"Long time no see, Ai Rui Si. Ke La Ke."

Lin Ke also gave Ai Rui Si. Ke La Ke a light hug.

"Be careful, Lin Ke."

As the two were about to part, Ai Rui Si. Ke La Ke suddenly spoke in a voice only they could hear, saying softly, "Those genius wizards you bloodily abused back then—many have made great strides in the past two years, while you've been living comfortably at the academy for two years. Some are plotting to take revenge on you and regain their honor."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ke instantly understood which occasion Ai Rui Si. Ke La Ke referred to with "that time".

Then he was momentarily speechless, looking helplessly at Ai Rui Si. Ke La Ke, who was chuckling to herself.

That time, the Supreme Council selected a five-member envoy for its first mission to the parallel universe's immortal-divine civilization.

Lin Ke, at Ai Rui Si. Ke La Ke's request, nevertheless dealt a heavy blow to the faces of many young-generation genius wizards.

If what Ai Rui Si. Ke La Ke says is true, those genius wizards seeking to regain their honor, Lin Ke does not fear the challenge, but he dreads the trouble.

Cannot kill them, cannot injure them.

It's quite annoying.
