267: Mission requirements changed, interrogate Pedro!

Laji ran all the way out of the town and sat dejectedly on the white ground, the surrounding environment seemingly dimming considerably.

He could endure his father's coldness.

But the kind man who once held him and showed him the murals now wanted to destroy the entire Six Realms, disregarding the lives of billions of creatures!

His father was clearly not that kind of person!

No, he wouldn't!

There must be another reason; his father must have been forced!

He had to help his father!

Laji braced himself and was about to get up, but then he seemed to think of something and sat back down powerlessly.

"If my father can't solve the problem, what use would I be...?" he muttered to himself.

"The problem your father can't solve, perhaps I can!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind him, and Laji's body trembled.

Chen Beixuan walked over, sat down next to him, reached out and patted his shoulder, saying seriously.

"No matter which world it is, when strength reaches a certain level, any problem will be solved easily. I believe the God Realm is no exception."

"If one lightning bolt doesn't kill it, then two. If two don't work, then a hundred! Until the problem is solved!"

"You, on the other hand, are too soft-hearted, always avoiding difficulties and problems, feeling sorry for yourself. That won't do—"

As he spoke, he turned his head, stared into Laji's eyes, and said with a slight smile.

"Do whatever you want boldly! With me here, even if a World God comes, he won't be able to do anything to you!"

"Do you... understand?"

Laji looked into his eyes, his emotions surging, then his cheeks suddenly flushed, and he lowered his head, muttering like a mosquito.

"I... I have someone I like..."

Damn it!

What the hell are you thinking of!

Chen Beixuan rolled his eyes, subtly shifted his butt to the side, withdrew his hand, and said irritably.

"You misunderstood. I was talking about solving your and your father's issues. What kind of bizarre thought process is that...?"

"Oh..." Laji awkwardly rubbed his head, his face as red as a red apple, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.

So he had misunderstood...

Speaking of which, in that instant, Old Chen was truly domineering...

Eh, bah, bah, bah!

Is this about being domineering or not right now?!

Old Chen helping him is the main point!

Recalling their previous conversation, his eyes gradually firmed, and he suddenly stood up.

"Old Chen, you're right, I shouldn't run away. I want to find my father. Are you really willing to help me?"

"I'm will... uh... hmm... alright." Chen Beixuan felt something was off no matter how he said it, and agreed with a series of 'hmm's and 'ah's.

"That's great!" Laji's face lit up with joy.

Suddenly, a prompt popped up on the quest panel!

[Ding! The quest requirements for [Laji's Past] have changed. Laji hopes you can help him see his father, resolve their strained father-son relationship, and persuade his father to turn over a new leaf!]

"Whew! Finally some progress..." Chen Beixuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shall we leave now?" Laji asked.

"No, I still have something to take care of. I'll call you when it's time to leave."

Before going to see Laji's father, he needed to interrogate Pedro to find out why he was so afraid of the God Realm...

He summoned the Myriad Realms Kun and entered its internal space, searching for Pedro's whereabouts.

At the same time,

At the stone tablet in the center of the town, Eckhart and Sabei were having a lively chat.

Sabei expressed his desire to join the True Sight Sect, and the former naturally wouldn't refuse, warmly welcoming him.

Suddenly, Eckhart felt something and turned to look in the direction Chen Beixuan had left.

"That... Sabei, joining the True Sight Sect is no problem, but I have something to attend to. Feel free to look around for now."

He made up an excuse, cast a teleportation spell, and disappeared with a blue light.

The next second,

He appeared beside the Myriad Realms Kun and immediately widened his eyes, as if looking at a treasure.

"This... what a beautiful creature..."

The Myriad Realms Kun, imbued with void attributes, was more attractive to him, a space controller, than a naked divine woman!

He couldn't help but reach out to touch it, but the Myriad Realms Kun let out a warning puff of steam, forcing him to sheepishly withdraw his hand.

Looking at Laji standing nearby, he smiled and asked kindly.

"Is it your mount?"

Laji shook his head, "It's Old Chen's."

"Oh... what a pity..." Eckhart's eyes showed disappointment.

He didn't know if he was disappointed that the mount was in human hands, or disappointed that its rightful owner wasn't there.

"By the way, your friend Sabei has already chosen to join the True Sight Sect. What are your thoughts?"

"I'm sorry, but I have other important things to do, so I can't join your sect for now."

After firming up his resolve, Laji's state had recovered significantly, and he politely refused.

"Hey! No rush, no rush. You can rest here for a while longer. It's not too late to decide then." Eckhart waved his hand and smiled.

Laji glanced at him and said no more.

On the ship, this guy had already said that he had a ninety percent chance of trapping them, so he wasn't someone to be trifled with.

With Old Chen not by his side, he felt very insecure...

......

Back World of the Myriad Realms Kun.

Chen Beixuan was almost omniscient and omnipotent, and he quickly located Pedro, finding it both funny and exasperating.

This guy had actually hidden himself inside a mountain!

He had dug a winding cave to hide in.

Shaking his head with a smile, he had a thought, and in the next second, he instantly teleported inside the cave!

Whoosh!

"Ah—"

Pedro was huddled inside, holding his breath, when Chen Beixuan suddenly appeared, scaring him so much that he shivered and cried out!

After recognizing the person, his wildly pounding heart almost skipped a beat, and he forced out a strained smile.

"Heh... hehe... Good day, Master Chen..."

Chen Beixuan raised his hand and gave him a sharp rap on the head, saying irritably, "Good day, my foot! Tell me, why did you run off like that!"

"I... I, I..."

"Well... I'll tell you, Master Chen, but please don't get angry..."

Seeing him angry, Pedro's voice grew softer and softer, like a child who had done something wrong.

Chen Beixuan folded his arms and sat down, his tone displeased.

"You speak first! Whether I get angry or not is another matter!"

"Then... I still won't say..." Pedro mumbled softly, looking down with a wronged expression.

"Hey, still trying to bargain? I order you to speak, or I'll throw you out!" Chen Beixuan deliberately bluffed.

This trick worked, and Pedro quickly waved his hands in surrender.

"No, no, no, I'll say it, I'll say it..."

He shifted his butt, found a more comfortable sitting position, and slowly began.

"Actually... I'm not human; I'm from the Dwarf race of the Elf Realm."

After saying this, he couldn't help but glance at Master Chen, but found that Master Chen's expression hadn't changed at all, and he couldn't help but ask.

"...Why do you seem not surprised at all?"

"Hmm? Oh, sorry, I was distracted."

Chen Beixuan waved his hand, concentrating.

He had suddenly thought of the Dwarf race in a certain movie from his previous life, no wonder he had felt a strange sense of familiarity when he first met Pedro.

"Cough... don't mind it, continue."

Pedro: "......"
