166: Return to the City of Glory to test the deer's skills.

A few minutes later.

Laji lay on the ground like a pile of mud, his arm at an unnatural angle, biting his lip as tears silently streamed down his face.

Lydia, meanwhile, sat astride him, treating him while exclaiming in surprise.

"Eh, that's really strange. Even I can't clear it. Were you cursed by the Darkness God?"

...Impossible. How could the Darkness God possibly attack you?"

Lydia shook her head, dismissing the thought.

With two cracking sounds, Laji's arm was reset and quickly healed under the illumination of the holy light.

After his injuries were healed, Laji hugged his knees and couldn't help but cry, covering his face.

He was exactly like a little daughter-in-law who had been wronged.

Lydia pinched his tear-stained face, forced him to meet her gaze, and smiled brightly.

"I treated you, aren't you going to thank me?"

"Tha...thank you..."

Her smiling face was so terrifying in Laji's eyes at that moment that he dared not resist.

Hearing this, Lydia showed a satisfied expression, feeling completely comfortable.

"Tell me, who did it?"

She was asking about the source of the unusual silence on Laji's body.

Laji sighed but did not reveal anything about Old Man Chen.

"If I told you I was hit by an extraterrestrial meteorite, would you believe me?"

"Then do you believe I like you?" Lydia retorted.

"You like my resilience to pain?"

"Hehe..." (Starts rolling up her sleeves)

"Oh...again!"

"......"

In the end, Laji did not reveal Old Man Chen's information.

It wasn't because their friendship was deep, but because Lydia couldn't know about the last time Old Man Chen was sent to destroy the Light Church branch.

If Lydia knew the truth, he would definitely be in a worse state than he was today!

Just then, Laji suddenly felt a change in his body, and his heart filled with joy!

"Eh...it's undone!"

"Heavenly God's Heart-Stomping Kick!"

Bang!

Laji: "......"

......

On the other side, Chen Beixuan, flying rapidly, used the Myriad Realms Kun's teleportation function to quickly travel.

He finally returned to the City of Radiance after passing through seven or eight towns.

Only then did he suddenly remember that the silence on Laji's body hadn't been lifted, so he immediately removed it.

He had been in a hurry to leave and had forgotten all about it.

According to the coordinates Xiao Lu provided, the two parties quickly met up.

"Grandpa!"

"Master Chen?"

Seeing Chen Beixuan's cool attire, Pedro was a bit slow to recognize him.

But upon seeing Xiao Lu's excited expression, he finally believed that the person in front of him was indeed Master Chen.

He felt a sense of relief, even tearing up a little, so he quickly took big strides, wanting to give him a long-awaited reunion hug, but Chen Beixuan pushed him aside with his hand.

It was then that he noticed there was an extra person beside Master Chen.

Pedro instantly felt a sense of crisis and scrutinized him with a cold face.

And Han Dapao also stared at him with interest.

The two of them, one looking up, one looking down, scrutinized each other, neither giving way.

In the end, Han Dapao spoke first.

"My name is Han Dapao, and you must be Pedro."

"Oh? Master Chen mentioned me to you?"

Pedro felt a little smug inside when he heard this.

Han Dapao recalled Uncle Chen muttering to himself about "long-armed ape Pedro," "golden-haired Pedro," and so on, all along the way.

It should count as concern, right?

So he nodded.

"Uncle Chen mentioned you. You left quite an impression on me."

"Oh... Eh? Wait a minute, Uncle Chen?"

Pedro suddenly realized that by this seniority, wouldn't he be at a disadvantage!

Han Dapao was bewildered but impressed.

"I've always called him that. What's wrong?"

"Hehe, nothing. Your clothes are messy. Let me help you straighten them."

Pedro smiled and stepped forward to help.

Ignoring the two, Chen Beixuan was currently observing and instructing Xiao Lu on attack methods.

The attack methods of a True Word Enchanter were extremely flexible, relying entirely on shouting.

Xiao Lu herself wasn't very good at developing them, only having learned a few simple commands.

She stared at a nearby wild monster and spoke a command.

"I'll blow you up!"

As her words fell, an energy fluctuation instantly erupted, and the wild monster exploded as if struck by a heavy blow!

It was like a mosquito that had been swatted, leaving a smear on the ground...

Chen Beixuan observed the blue bar above Xiao Lu's head, nodding inwardly.

As long as the opponent's health didn't exceed Xiao Lu's blue bar, she could almost instantly kill them, which was quite abnormal.

"I can fly!"

Xiao Lu shouted, and her body immediately flew up, not even needing a mount.

This scene made Chen Beixuan a little envious; flying with a mount and flying by oneself were two completely different things.

As if seeing his envious expression, Xiao Lu's heart stirred, and she pointed through the air.

"Grandpa, you can fly too!"

A miraculous scene appeared: Chen Beixuan actually floated up!

"Oh, hahahaha, I can fly too!"

He couldn't help but marvel at the flexibility and versatility of Xiao Lu's profession; she could even make others fly.

It truly was 'what is said is done,' omnipotent.

The old man and the young girl flew in the sky, giggling.

But soon, Chen Beixuan couldn't laugh anymore.

He suddenly felt the buoyancy attached to him disappear, and then his entire body plummeted!

"Oh...oh!!"

"Ah! Grandpa!"

Xiao Lu cried out in surprise, wanting to release a command but was told she had insufficient mana.

In the end, she could only watch helplessly as Chen Beixuan plunged headfirst into the ground!

Ah—

Bang!

Hearing the exclamations, Han Dapao and Pedro, who were nearby, immediately rushed over and were instantly startled.

The two of them worked together to pull Chen Beixuan out of the dirt, brushed off the excess soil, and quickly asked,

"Master Chen, are you alright?"

"Uncle Chen, are you alright?"

Xiao Lu also landed on the ground, looking as if she had made a mistake, fiddling with her hands and muttering,

"Grandpa... your level is too high, and your mana ran out..."

Under the gaze of the three, Chen Beixuan spat out the turf from his mouth, waved his hand, indicating he was fine.

"It's not your fault, I was distracted."

As he was falling, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

Since Xiao Lu's skills could affect him, could they also achieve effects like teleportation?

Thinking of this, he immediately got up.

"Xiao Lu, replenish your mana. Let's do an experiment."

"Uh... Grandpa, I don't have any mana potions left."

Xiao Lu said somewhat awkwardly; she had just discovered it too.

Chen Beixuan heard this and turned to look at Han Dapao and Pedro, his meaning very clear.

"Oh, oh, I have mana potions here..."

Han Dapao hurriedly rummaged through his pockets, but as he did, his expression suddenly changed.

"Chen... Uncle Chen, my things are gone. I guess I must have left them somewhere..."

"Hehe, you still have to rely on me. Here, Xiao Lu, take these."

Pedro proudly pulled out a mana potion and handed it over, his nostrils practically pointing to the sky.

Han Dapao looked at the mana potion, and it seemed so familiar; if Master Chen hadn't been there, he would have asked if Pedro had stolen his things.

Chen Beixuan had no time to concern himself with their inner thoughts; he waited for Xiao Lu to replenish her mana and spoke.

"Xiao Lu, this time, try to teleport me to your side and see if it works."

After saying that, he ran dozens of meters away, creating distance for the test.

As he made an OK gesture, Xiao Lu shouted the command.

"Grandpa, come quickly and save me!"

As her words fell, her mana bar rapidly decreased.

Swish!

The next second, Chen Beixuan was enveloped by a spatial energy and disappeared from his original spot!
