Chapter 694: Chapter 695 Suspicion_1

"I don’t know, we’ll have to wait until they’ve asked around to find out the situation."

"Could it be a relic from the Mythical Era?"

Feng Yuan looked towards Agunas. He used his Divine Sense to sweep over the area, but he hadn’t detected anything unusual. If there was anything that could evade his Divine Sense now, he guessed it could only be a relic from the Mythical Era.

"Not clear, let’s not rule out that possibility."

Agunas flipped through the book in his hands with unease. He had a bad feeling, but if it was indeed a relic from the Mythical Era, he wouldn’t be able to detect it either. The ability of those things to conceal themselves was simply too good, just like the complete Nien Wheel they encountered before. If it weren’t for seeing the actual object, he wouldn’t have imagined that such a thing could still exist.

"A relic from the Mythical Era? That seems unlikely, doesn’t it?"

Liao Yu said with some uncertainty. Although Maomu Forest was a desolate and remote place, this area had been thoroughly explored long ago. If there were any ruins, they should have been discovered a long time ago.

Furthermore, although relics from the Mythical Era are considered high-risk items, as long as they are handed over to Divine Beasts, one could still gain the favor of the Divine Beasts. As for keeping them? Ever since there was a country that decided to keep the relic and consequently had half its territory destroyed by an accident with that thing, no one dared to bring up such a notion again.

After all, giving them to the Divine Beasts, they would remember your good deed, and they would help out when necessary. Why bother keeping a ticking time bomb by your side?

"If it was buried deep and was not discovered initially..."

Huo Feng murmured his speculation, and Feng Yuan, flicking his tail, said,

"This matter is up to you guys, if there’s nothing wrong then I’ll head back first."

After a glance at Feng Yuan, Liao Yu thought for a moment and said,

"Wait a moment."

"Something else?"

The giant Husky tilted its head, looking puzzled at Liao Yu. Although it appeared somewhat goofy, its sheer size still exerted significant pressure on Liao Yu.

"No, they’ll probably all need to make a written statement. I remember that your lights-out time is almost due, right?"

"Yeah, but sneaking back in isn’t a big deal."

"How about I escort you back?"

"That works."

Being able to return with full dignity was of course the best option, even though sneaking back into the dormitory wasn’t a first-time affair. However, the feeling of being escorted back by the special service team was something he seemed to have never experienced before.

Thinking this, the giant Husky’s face revealed a mischievous smile. Liao Yu, unaware of this, turned around and went to talk to the team leader, who glanced at the strange wolf-shaped ’Spirit Beast’ that seemed to be arguing with Liao Yu.

"It’s very strange... It doesn’t quite seem like a robbery?"

Although it was Feng Yuan who initially mentioned a robbery, Huo Feng’s intuition told him that the matter was not so simple. The big Husky yawned and said,

"I’m not clear about it, you handle it. It’s none of my business."

After a while, Liao Yu came over and said to Huo Feng,

"I’ll escort them back first."

"Sure."

Although knowing that with Feng Yuan around, handling the incident would be easier, Huo Feng really couldn’t bring himself to ask the student to stay and help.

"You, this guy..."

Qi Chen, speechless, pulled the Little Husky off the glowering Liao Yu’s head, and it landed steadily on the ground. The Little Husky complained,

"What’s wrong with taking a rest after feeling tired?"

"You’re not a real Spirit Beast!"

Qi Chen said exasperatedly, while the passengers also noticed Liao Yu in uniform, crowding around to inquire about the incident. Liao Yu didn’t answer them; instead, he told them to wait patiently for others to come for questioning and then led Feng Yuan and Qi Chen away from the bus.

On the bus, the paws of the Little Husky were all over the place, seemingly wanting to press everything. Qi Chen said with a frown,

"If you don’t want to cause a traffic accident, tone it down!"

"Which one is the siren, again?"

The Little Husky’s paws moved from button to button, muttering to itself. Liao Yu gave Feng Yuan a silent look and said,

"Don’t mess around, okay? If you accidentally trigger the siren, it won’t be easy for me to explain when we get back."

Qi Chen reached out through the gap between the seats and grabbed Little Husky, who was squatting on the front passenger seat, by the back of its neck and pulled it to the back seat, saying

"It’s still too dangerous for you to sit in front."

"Tch!"

Little Husky glanced at Qi Chen with dissatisfaction, turned around, laid down by the window, and kept wagging its tail while looking at the city’s nightscape. Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan and asked,

"Why don’t you change back?"

"Occasionally experiencing a different kind of life is quite interesting."

Wagging its tail and gazing out at the rapidly passing scenery, Little Husky said absentmindedly. Right then, the car was stopped in front of a red light, and Liao Yu spoke,

"That’s true, a monotonous life is indeed pretty boring."

"But you guys should be preparing to go to a new city and start a new journey, right?"

Looking out the window, Qi Chen said helplessly,

"I’m afraid not, with my scores, I can at most get into Maomu Academy."

Qi Chen definitely didn’t arrogantly think that with Feng Yuan’s help, those Beast Taming Academies within Great Xia Country would just let him pick and choose. The prestigious institutions in Shangjing and Shenhua would probably be very difficult to get into; after all, he wasn’t Feng Yuan. Even if it were Feng Yuan, the chances of getting into those famous academies in Shangjing and Shenhua with just Xiao Ji’s help were slim. He could freely choose among academies mostly because of his connections with those Divine Beasts.

At this period, an individual’s strength was just so-so—although the stronger one was in the early stages, the greater their potential for development, they would ultimately still be influenced by their family’s power behind them.

But Divine Beasts were different, familial powers could not influence their thoughts, yet a Divine Beast’s status and strength could sway the rise and fall of a family’s power. Those academies, eager to expand their influence, were naturally very willing to connect with Divine Beasts.

As for the second-tier academies? In reality, Maomu Academy wasn’t bad at all, even Yongning Academy, the premier institution in Great Xia’s southernmost major city, Yongning City, was only on par with Maomu Academy.

Qi Chen didn’t have any thoughts of traveling far, especially since Dou Yanlan was finding it difficult to get into Yongning Academy. Maomu Academy was more likely to accept local students, which made it relatively easier for Dou Yanlan. Not wanting to be separated from Dou Yanlan, Qi Chen felt there was a very high chance he would choose Maomu Academy.

"No way? Didn’t you guys win the Maomu Beast Tamer Competition?"

Liao Yu said with some surprise, while Little Husky, clinging to the car window, continued to watch the scenery outside and spoke,

"You’re well aware of the real situation. They relied more on borrowed strength. While Coming of the Future can prove potential, it’s just one of countless possibilities. I don’t think those grand academies would forsake scions of great families to consider Qi Chen."

Hearing what Feng Yuan said, Liao Yu replied with a wry smile,

"You really know them well. Thankfully, Divine Beasts favor us ordinary folks more, otherwise..."

"Even without Divine Beasts, ordinary people aren’t without hope, are we?"

Feng Yuan flicked its tail and glanced at Ah Mu, saying,

"Haven’t there been any number of gifted Beastmasters and Pharmacists emerging from among ordinary people these years?"

"Still, it’s the offspring of those great families who have an easier time succeeding, right?"

"That’s true, but in the end, it’s just like that, isn’t it?"

"At least, just wanting to live a peaceful life in the city, strength or power isn’t so indispensable, is it?"

"Hehe~ You’ve got a point~"

"But..."

Remembering what Huo Feng had told him, Liao Yu’s eyes revealed a touch of sadness. Yawning, Little Husky curled up on the seat and said,

"I’m going to rest a bit, wake me up when we arrive."

"How can you be sleepy at this..."

Suddenly a special police squad car drove into the school, startling the teachers and security guards responsible for the night patrol. Although they were unsure of the newcomers’ purpose, anything that could dispatch a special police squad was no small matter.

"Look at all the teachers welcoming us~"

Yawning and reverting to his original form, Feng Yuan said with interest, while Qi Chen covered his face and said helplessly,

"Now we’re going to be famous..."

"Relax~ We haven’t done anything wrong, there’s nothing to worry about~"

"I hope so..."

Glancing at Liao Yu, who was explaining to the night-shift teachers, Qi Chen said without words. He had already learned during the car ride while chatting with Liao Yu that the suggestion to have Liao Yu bring them back was his own, and had nothing to do with Feng Yuan, but the other party had not anticipated such a large commotion.
