104: Chapter 104 A Strange Feeling

It was impossible to be like 'Seamless Space Perception'.

Conducting all-around monitoring of the entire city without any blind spots.

Moreover.

The Space Element did not have this kind of top-tier detection spell.

Even at Tier 6, one would have to create it themselves.

The Lightning Element was even more so.

Aside from destruction, it had almost no reconnaissance capabilities, making it the brute among elements.

"Forget it, I'll create the spell first and save the missing children. I'll worry about leveling up later."

Lin Fan made his decision.

He arrived at the parking spot.

He walked nonchalantly toward the car he had arrived in and sat inside.

Before long, Yao Dong and the others came sprinting back with anxious expressions.

Seeing Lin Fan sitting in the car looking harmless, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're back. Can we leave now?"

Lin Fan grinned, revealing a row of neat white teeth, and waved at them.

Aunt Mi Xue returned shortly after.

Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, the weight in her heart finally lifted.

She asked about the fate of the Lizardman that had been chasing them.

The team members told her that Mr. Chen had arrived just in time before they were in danger.

Aunt Mi Xue also told everyone about what happened afterward and the generous gift Mr. Chen had given.

Everyone was stunned and began asking for the reason.

It wasn't until Aunt Mi Xue mentioned that Captain Jin Tu didn't know Mr. Chen at all that everyone realized the truth.

"That's great! Could Mr. Chen have taken an interest in our team? Otherwise, why would he give everything to you instead of sharing it with the others?"

One team member laughed after getting into the car.

With the crisis averted and no one injured, everyone was in the mood for joking.

Someone even teased.

That Mr. Chen had taken a liking to their captain, Aunt Mi Xue.

Those monster corpses were all betrothal gifts!

Lin Fan looked blank, pretending not to hear.

But Aunt Mi Xue's next words made his face turn red instantly.

"If that's really the case, the next time I see him, I wouldn't mind inviting him directly back to my room to spend the night with him."

"A senior once told me that when you meet someone you like, you should hold on tight and not let go."

"Who wouldn't want to be Mr. Chen's partner?"

The crowd burst into laughter, knowing she was joking.

Lin Fan knew it too.

Yet he still couldn't control his blushing, and images uncontrollably surfaced in his mind.

Are the women in this world all this bold?

There's still a child here!

He screamed frantically in his heart, feeling like his innocence was about to be corrupted by this one-eyed woman.

The convoy started up and soon left the rocky path, returning to the formal highway.

The golden light of dusk gradually faded as the convoy drove at full speed toward Baiyun City.

On the way, Aunt Mi Xue glanced at Lin Fan beside her, a slight smile playing on her lips.

It wasn't her usual teasing look.

But a sincere smile tinged with a hint of exhaustion.

"I'm glad you weren't hurt. If I had known it would turn out like this, I never would have let you come."

"Your first mission almost turned into a life-or-death situation."

Aunt Mi Xue finished softly and leaned her head against the seat.

She didn't know how she would have explained things to Lin Fan's mother.

If anything had happened to Lin Fan.

Even if she returned alive, she wouldn't have been able to face her.

Fortunately, Mr. Chen appeared in time and saved her from this disaster.

She didn't know why Mr. Chen had appeared at Stone Ghost Gorge.

But she was incredibly grateful that he did.

Thinking of this.

Her smile became even gentler, and a slight blush crept onto her cheeks.

Yes, she was truly grateful to Mr. Chen.

Beside her.

Lin Fan was about to say.

He didn't blame her for anything that happened at Stone Ghost Gorge, but his body suddenly shuddered.

Lin Fan frowned.

Who is secretly thinking about something strange?!

The four off-road vehicles drove at full speed.

They reached the border of Baiyun City before dark, successfully passed the checkpoint, and drove into the city.

Dozens of minutes later, the convoy returned to the team's base and stopped, and everyone got out.

The other team members entered the base.

Aunt Mi Xue, however, stopped Yao Dong and asked him to drive Lin Fan home.

Of course, she was going along too; in her words...

She was too tired and didn't want to drive.

Yao Dong had no complaints and agreed cheerfully.

They didn't take the off-road vehicle but switched to a small sedan.

This kind of hunting was the way the Adventure Team raised funds and paid salaries.

Lin Fan didn't need to wait for the dividend and could go home first.

After a while, the car arrived in the outskirts and stopped at Lin Fan's doorstep.

Yao Dong waited in the car.

Aunt Mi Xue and Lin Fan walked into the house together.

Lin Fan's parents and sister had long been waiting anxiously at home, restless.

If Lin Fan hadn't returned by nine o'clock at night, they would have started calling people.

Aunt Mi Xue apologized for Lin Fan's late return.

His father stated that it wasn't her fault, as monsters were inherently uncontrollable.

Although he wasn't a mage, he understood this logic.

Lin Fan's mother ignored the two of them.

She was only concerned with checking her son thoroughly, confirming he didn't have a single scratch.

Aunt Mi Xue left soon after.

She didn't mention the dangers of the mission, and Lin Fan intended to keep quiet about it as well.

He knew his mother too well.

Once she knew they had almost been wiped out today, she would absolutely forbid him from being an Adventurer again.

After Aunt Mi Xue left, Lin Fan was told to go wash up, while his mother and Lin Duo prepared dinner.

The food had been ready for a long time; it just needed to be set on the table.

Lin Fan moved quickly; after washing up and changing into clean clothes, he went downstairs back to the living room.

The family sat together for dinner, listening to Lin Fan recount his experiences of the day.

Lin Duo's eyes sparkled as she pressed for more details.

She knew her brother was now an Adventurer and had to face terrifying monsters, and she listened with intense excitement.

His parents also listened with full concentration.

His mother was ready at any moment to seize any reason to stop him from continuing as an Adventurer.

But Lin Fan spoke with extreme caution.

He emphasized.

That under the protection of Aunt Mi Xue and the others, he had killed many monsters, describing it nonchalantly.

As long as one kept their distance and released spells, it wasn't dangerous at all.

This filled his mother's eyes with suspicion. She knew very well that being an Adventurer and hunting monsters was never as easy as Lin Fan made it sound.

She had heard too many cases of Adventurers dying in the mouths of monsters; it wasn't rare at all.

Being an Adventurer was destined to be accompanied by danger!

But she couldn't find any loopholes in Lin Fan's words.

She and her husband could only assume.

That Aunt Mi Xue, considering Lin Fan was a newcomer, had specifically chosen a safe area with weak monsters.

This put them completely at ease.

Letting Lin Fan join Aunt Mi Xue's team was indeed the right choice.

Dinner ended, and everyone went to their respective rooms to rest.

Lin Fan closed his door and flopped onto his bed.

He was hesitating whether to go straight to sleep or continue cultivating tonight.

As a Tier 4 Mage, he could already go several days without sleep.

It was just... he hadn't had a good night's sleep in days.

"Hmm?"

Just then.

Lin Fan suddenly sensed something unusual and abruptly lifted his head from the bed, his gaze turning cold.

He immediately spread out his perception, covering almost the entire suburban area.

When he saw clearly the source of that movement just now, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Five figures were approaching his house in an encircling formation.
