172: Chapter 172 Chen Tian is still alive
Chi Anlin looked at the New Queen and fell into deep thought.
The New Queen's forelimbs were two scythes, looking a bit like an evolved version of a Blood Fiend Ant Soldier. Coupled with its Demon Spirit War Body, Chi Anlin decided to name it Shadow Charm.
Although the name had nothing to do with its appearance, it sounded good enough.
Keeping Shadow Charm in the Ant Queen's Small World would be very restrictive, so Chi Anlin decided to quickly deploy the Ant Queen to another world.
Over the past two days, he had checked information on the Mo family and discovered that their businesses were primarily focused on alchemy, and their main source of medicinal herbs was a place near the capital called the Medicine Realm.
Due to the special nature of the capital, there were five interdimensional portals there, each guarded by one of the Four Great Families and the Military University.
The Mo family was responsible for guarding the Small Medicine Realm.
Chi Anlin planned to deploy Shadow Charm into the Medicine Realm in a while. Before that, he had to ensure Shadow Charm had sufficient concealment methods; otherwise, if a King Rank expert went to investigate, they would discover Shadow Charm in minutes.
At this moment, in Mo Yu's courtyard, Chen Yue covered her mouth, weeping with joy. Large tears fell as she looked at the middle-aged man across from her in disbelief.
Mo Yu stood to the side with a smile and said: "The day you made your move, I had someone secretly bring your father over. As I expected, the Mo family would target your father."
That day, after Mo Yu saw Chen Yue attack the two men, he knew the Mo family would never let Chen Yue's father go.
As for why he didn't tell Chen Yue at the time, it was because he needed to act.
If he had told Chen Yue that her father was alive that day, given her reaction, she would likely have given the game away.
What he hadn't expected, however, was that the White Spirit King would take Chen Yue as a disciple, which was a pleasant surprise.
During the college entrance exam period, the moment he was brought back by the White Spirit King, he realized that the White Spirit King had a younger brother who was an alchemist, which was why the Mo family hadn't dared to intercept him halfway.
King Rank alchemists were extremely rare and had very wide social networks; even the Mo family was unwilling to offend them unnecessarily.
Watching Chen Yue sobbing uncontrollably, Mo Yu shook his head and silently left the courtyard, giving the father and daughter some space to be alone.
He had also told Ji Hongfei and Dan Yunyao about this news. As for Chi Anlin, he felt that Chi Anlin had already guessed it.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly. To ensure Chen Tian could arrive safely, he had specifically asked Nangong Shilan to go to Jing County to pick up Chen Yue's father.
For this, he even had to thank the Mo family; if it weren't for them, Chen Yue wouldn't have had the opportunity to become a disciple of the White Spirit King.
However...
A flash of killing intent crossed Mo Yu's eyes. Before, he had absolutely no chance to take revenge, and it had taken so long of disguising himself to finally enter the Military University.
Mo Wentian had targeted those around him once again.
In the courtyard, Chen Yue held her father tightly, afraid that this was all a dream.
Chen Tian gently patted Chen Yue's back and sighed: "Daughter, it's been so many years... you've worked hard..."
All that could be heard in his ears were Chen Yue's bursts of sobbing.
"Mo Yu, thank you." Chen Yue's eyes were still red and swollen, and she spoke in a hoarse voice.
Mo Yu shook his head: "If it weren't for me, your father wouldn't have encountered danger. It is my fault for letting your father get dragged into this struggle."
Chen Yue lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking. Mo Yu continued: "Go back and cultivate well. Before long, once the Phoenix Fire Lord makes a breakthrough, we will have a tough battle to fight."
With the Phoenix Fire Lord's personality, the first thing she would do upon coming out of seclusion would be to wipe out the Golden Horn Ancient Emperor, and the Military University would definitely participate in the war.
Although they certainly wouldn't be the main force, the school would issue many missions with rich rewards, and at that time, everyone would head to the Golden Horn Realm.
As for the second thing, Mo Yu estimated that the Phoenix Fire Lord would go to the Mo family to find trouble.
Mo Yu sighed. That was, after all, a human faction. Even if he broke through to the Ancient Emperor Rank, he would have no way to wipe out the Mo family. The Saint Rank Experts of the human world would not allow such a thing to happen.
Chen Yue's father had been sent to the White Spirit King's mountain peak. No matter how much more courage the Three Kings Society had, they certainly wouldn't dare to go there to look for someone.
Hearing Mo Yu's words, Chen Yue nodded obediently. For some reason, she didn't dare to look up at Mo Yu. After standing up, she whispered: "Then I'll be going..."
Afterward, she left as if fleeing.
Mo Yu shook his head with a faint smile on his lips. Then, the purple lightning in his hand acted like a whip, circling the medicinal plant on the chair. With a gentle pull, it flew into his hand.
"Silly girl, I'm not lacking in these things."
He took a flower pot out of his space ring and carefully planted the medicinal plant, then muttered to himself: "Brother Chi's beast is a sprite; it should be able to save this medicinal plant, right..."
"Anlin, since you entered university, haven't you felt attracted to any girls?" Xiao Xing poked Ji Jiji with its paw. Ji Jiji jumped in shock and immediately asked.
"Hmm?" Chi Anlin was closing his eyes, listening to Tian Yin sing to relieve his fatigue. Upon hearing Ji Jiji's words, he turned his head and said: "No."
"Haven't you thought about..."
Chi Anlin shook his head: "Right now, cultivation is the priority. Let's talk about that when the day comes that I no longer need to cultivate."
After experiencing what happened with Mo Yu, Chi Anlin understood that if he wasn't strong enough, his enemies might target the people around him.
Before reaching the pinnacle, he wouldn't think about romance.
"What do you mean by 'when I no longer need to cultivate'?"
"When that day comes, I will be able to protect everyone from harm."
Ji Jiji nodded thoughtfully, then he and Xiao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
Tian Yin, interrupted by Ji Jiji, hummed angrily and flew back onto Chi Anlin's head.
Chi Anlin reached out to stroke Tian Yin on his head, then pretended to open his space ring and beast taming pouch. The next second, several bottles of pills and a ball of black energy appeared in front of Ji Jiji.
"These are Qi Gathering Pills and Blood Coagulation Pills. I've written the usage limits on the pill bottles. And this is the beast I've prepared for you."
Ji Jiji was stunned: "I... I'm not a Beast Tamer!"
Chi Anlin laughed: "This beast doesn't need a contract. It has been trained by me using special methods and will listen to you."
A look of gratitude appeared on Ji Jiji's face. Chi Anlin hadn't just saved him; he had even prepared so many precious resources for him.
Secretly wiping away a tear from the corner of his eye, Ji Jiji stood up embarrassedly and stuck his backside out toward Chi Anlin.
"Only this one time, okay..."
Now it was Chi Anlin's turn to be stunned. His expression was strange, and a whole bunch of question marks appeared in his mind.
