March 1st, Lin Qianxuan's figure appeared on Earth.
He traveled back.
This journey really was just like a trip.
Because he had simulated it very clearly in advance, he solved the threat brought by the Planet Spirit with ease after a bit of preparation.
Even Zhang Juan now feels a bit unreal.
Although she had vaguely sensed the threat of the Planet Spirit, she had never truly seen it, let alone fought against it.
However, it is sometimes better for certain disasters to be eradicated in the cradle.
With a thought, a space gate formed by True Flame appeared around Lin Qianxuan, and Zhang Juan stepped out, taking a deep breath.
"Finally back again!" Zhang Juan exclaimed, then looked around, saying, "Is this the house you bought, little Qian? So small? With your power, at least it should be a villa, right? Didn't earn enough? Or do you have some peculiar habit?"
Zhang Juan clearly doesn't understand why a grandmaster of Lin Qianxuan's level still lives in such a small house of less than a hundred square meters.
Not to mention a palace, at least a private villa, right?
"It's usable, so I haven't changed it..." Lin Qianxuan said.
He's rather laid-back, and if the current house is livable, he doesn't want to bother changing it.
Besides, the Qiankun Space he carries with him is large enough, and he has almost built half a city inside it, so he doesn't care about anything else.
"Little Qian, your attitude won't do," Zhang Juan said to Lin Qianxuan. "With your current power, you need a matching posture. You may not need it, but your friends, the forces you collaborate with, and the ordinary people you protect, all need it. Displaying enough stature will give them more confidence. The more composed and enjoyable you are, the more they will feel at ease, and the stronger the cohesion will be. This is not just some superficial vanity. When you take me to join that Kyoto Otherworld Bureau, I'll help you think of a way to build a dojo on Earth for you, according to the standards of a Legend..."
Lin Qianxuan opened his mouth but didn't argue in the end.
Forget it, let her fuss about.
Taking out his phone, Lin Qianxuan began to inform his friends of his safety one by one.
After receiving messages from Lin Qianxuan, his friends also responded one after another.
No response from Chen Long'Er, probably meditating or on a mission.
With a thought, Lin Qianxuan's Divine Thought instantly spread, covering the entire Earth.
With his current Divine Thought exploration range of tens of thousands of kilometers, covering the Earth was extraordinarily easy.
However, Lin Qianxuan discovered that he still couldn't completely observe everything on Earth. There are some places with considerable shielding ability that his current Divine Thought can't penetrate, like the frontlines or those countries with Town Guardian's dojos.
Of course, checking on Chen Long'Er was not a problem.
Lin Qianxuan found Chen Long'Er was currently meditating in the Cultivation Room.
Since she's not in danger on a mission, that's fine. Just wait for her to finish cultivating.
Lin Qianxuan retracted his vast Divine Thought, maintaining only a radius of hundreds of miles.
This is the range his perception can observe in a natural state, and covering tens of thousands of kilometers is a serious state, which would gather a lot of information in the mind. Although he can handle it, running at full power can be a bit mentally tiring.
....
As Lin Qianxuan covered the entire Earth with his Divine Thought, many forces sensed this espionage at that instant.
Kyoto Otherworld Bureau.
Zhang Heng originally thought it was a powerful Exotic Realm invasion and was ready for battle preparation, but then relaxed after seeing the Human Dao notification.
....
Karsel, Radiant Holy Assembly.
Gatling, just returned from the frontlines, showed a surprised expression.
"This kind of growth speed... did he go to an Otherworld with a very different time flow?" Gatling murmured.
....
Pis Hailman, Heroic Spirit Hall.
Aleksey turned his head toward Xuan Country, a hint of battle spirit in his eyes.
Dragon Bloodline, he had never had the chance to fight one before.
.....
Rofuelt, Wind Goddess Church.
Zainab's hand paused in watering flowers, then she smiled slightly and continued her actions.
.....
Jixilu, Mage Association.
Mariano smoothed his long beard, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Maybe, there's no need for that strategic retreat plan."
On the way to the old principal's new home, Zhang Juan appeared somewhat nervous.
"Little Qian, do you think the old principal will recognize me?" Zhang Juan asked.
"Of course he will; he mentioned you before!" Lin Qianxuan replied.
Zhang Juan's mood calmed a bit.
Only in this matter did she feel a little uneasy.
It's a feeling like the fear of approaching home.
After all, the old principal was like a family member to her.
The old dean's new home is in the city, and Lin Qianxuan scheduled a visit in advance.
After knocking on the door, it quickly opened, and upon seeing Lin Qianxuan and Zhang Juan, Fu Zhou immediately smiled and said, "Qian Xuan, you're here! This is Xiao Juan, isn't it? It's been years since I last saw you! You donated to the welfare home a few years back, and I haven't even thanked you yet! Come in, come, come, put the gifts wherever you like. Xiao Ning, make a couple more dishes..."
"Grandpa Dean," Zhang Juan bowed slightly and said.
"Good, good, good child!" Fu Zhou laughed.
Just like that, Lin Qianxuan and Zhang Juan were invited into Fu Zhou's new home.
While Zhang Juan and Fu Zhou were talking, Lin Qianxuan took a moment to look around. The place was at least 150 square meters. It seemed the Otherworld Bureau had helped a bit; otherwise, the old dean wouldn't be able to live in such a nice place without any savings. Even if the welfare home's property was replaced, it wouldn't be enough to buy such a large house near the city center.
"Qian Xuan, come over here for a moment," Fu Zhou suddenly stood up and said to Lin Qianxuan.
"Oh, okay," Lin Qianxuan nodded.
Then the two of them went to the balcony outside.
Fu Zhou closed the curtains, and his expression suddenly turned serious.
"Qian Xuan, did you wrong Xiao Chen?" Fu Zhou asked.
Lin Qianxuan was taken aback. Hadn't he asked Zhang Juan not to mention their relationship?
"Dean, why are you saying this?" Lin Qianxuan asked, puzzled.
"Don't think I can't see it. The way Xiao Juan looks at you is different; those little actions aren't something just ordinary friends would do," Fu Zhou said sternly.
Lin Qianxuan didn't dare meet Fu Zhou's gaze. He rubbed his nose slightly and said, "Dean, things here are a bit complicated."
"Ordinarily, I wouldn't meddle, but Xiao Chen is a good kid. You can't bully her. Xiao Juan has had a hard life, living alone after her adoptive parents died, and it's not easy for her. Don't hurt her." Fu Zhou sighed and said, "You're a kind-hearted child, but when it comes to emotions, kindness isn't enough. If you're too indecisive, you might end up hurting everyone..."
Fu Zhou assumed that Lin Qianxuan couldn't reject either Zhang Juan or Chen Long'Er, leading to the current situation.
In fact, he was simply a scoundrel.
Even though everything seemed arranged by the "String of Destiny," Lin Qianxuan himself admitted he was lustful and lacked morals. After all, he was the one making these choices.
After getting a good scolding, Lin Qianxuan and Fu Zhou returned to the living room.
After dinner, as he and Zhang Juan were preparing to leave, Fu Zhou gave Zhang Juan a red envelope and took the opportunity to lecture Lin Qianxuan again.
...
On the street, Lin Qianxuan and Zhang Juan walked side by side. Zhang Juan looked at Lin Qianxuan with an amused expression; she had heard Fu Zhou's words admonishing Lin Qianxuan since the glass door didn't stop her eavesdropping.
"Qian Xuan, you must handle this relationship properly, or it will affect more than just your personal feelings. You're officially employed now; your future is at stake! Don't ruin it here!" Zhang Juan mimicked Fu Zhou's words.
Lin Qianxuan looked at Zhang Juan with a blank expression, feeling quite helpless.
Suddenly, his phone buzzed with a new message.
When he checked his phone, Chen Long'Er had replied, saying she wanted to come home tonight and asked him to pick her up in Kyoto.
Lin Qianxuan was startled, wasn't there supposed to be some waiting time?
Zhang Juan glanced at the message and laughed, "So you'll see Long'Er soon, huh!"
"Juan Jie, please, don't start a fight, I'm begging you!" Lin Qianxuan said.
"Don't worry, as your elder sister, I have that level of composure," Zhang Juan smiled, placing her hand on Lin Qianxuan's shoulder, teasingly saying, "But I can't say the same for Little Long'Er; she seems quite the jealous type!"
Bringing up just the right sore point, Zhang Juan made Lin Qianxuan's scalp tingle.
Previously, when faced with such things, he would try to change the topic, never mentioning the Gongsun sisters in front of Chen Long'Er and vice versa.
Living between two worlds meant they wouldn't meet, and as long as he managed his time well, contradictions wouldn't be exposed.
But he couldn't avoid this chaotic scene in the end.
Zhang Juan was not purely from the Otherworld; she was a local from Earth and the Otherworld was just her home after crossing over.
Now it was almost inevitable for both worlds to meet.
Zhang Juan had no intention to avoid it, and neither would Chen Long'Er.
Lin Qianxuan had already prepared for the worst outcome.
If things weren't handled well, he might have to let go.
He himself felt that treating people this way was unfair, and if they didn't want to continue, what right did he have to keep them?
It's impossible to dodge any longer!
After returning home with Zhang Juan, Lin Qianxuan said, "I'm going to pick up Long'Er; you should rest, Juan Jie."
"Go on," Zhang Juan smiled.
She wasn't as worried as Lin Qianxuan.
She understood Chen Long'Er's behavior well; having forgiven the Gongsun sisters' situation already proved a lot.
Her appearance would surely be forgiven too.
But forgiveness alone wasn't enough; she must be a bit more magnanimous.
Though it was aggrieving for her, who could blame fate for tying their red strings to this scoundrel?
.....
On the other side, Lin Qianxuan had arrived in Kyoto.
Chen Long'Er just finished her bath and changed into new clothes. She wore a purple T-shirt on top and slim-fit casual pants on the bottom, with her hair loose behind her, making for a refreshing and clean look.
She was naturally beautiful and didn't need much dressing up to look great.
"What's wrong? You look like you're dying," Chen Long'Er widened her purple eyes and glanced at Lin Qianxuan.
