Full-Time Magister: The Strongest Summoned Beast is Actually Myself

Chapter 89, Lu Nian

Over the next two days, nothing unexpected happened, and Chen Hao and his team completed recording all the data from their exploration equipment.

The group embarked on their return journey.

Meanwhile, Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue, and the others had not yet arrived in Jinlin City.

Still using oxen and horses for transportation, Chen Hao led everyone back to the nearest safe city—Biyi City—in just one day.

Once inside, everyone can take a train and then a plane to return to the university.

Chen Hao also suggested parting ways at the opportune moment.

"Chen Hao, aren't you coming with us?" Zhao Manyan asked.

Everyone looked over in confusion. Why weren't they leaving? Why were they staying in this remote mountain valley for sightseeing?
"I have a relative living here, and I'm going to visit them. You should go back first," Chen Hao said.

This isn't just idle talk; the area where the "simps" are based is Biyi City, and Lin Qian naturally lives there as well.

Biyi City is located in the southeast of the Dongting Lake Plain. The entire city is almost under military administration, and most of the residents live here to serve the entire Biyi Military Region.

The Biyi Military Region is home to a large number of military mages. Their main responsibility is to maintain a standoff with the Dongting Lake Lizard Giant Demon Tribe. The entire city serves as an important protective barrier between the Dongting Lake Tribe and the cities to the east.

The conditions here aren't great. Usually, Kuomintang agents come here for a year or two to "gild their resumes" before being transferred and promoted, like Li Man in the original novel. But this sycophant stayed here for ten years, which shows he's a ruthless person.

Of course, none of those who fight their way up from the bottom without cheating are easy.

He is at least a figure like Lu Nian.

……

After hearing this, everyone agreed and booked the train with the earliest departure time.

Unable to resist Bai Tingting's persistent pleading, Chen Hao took them to the station to wait together.

With more than an hour to go before departure, Bai Tingting stayed close to Chen Hao, carefully straightening his clothes and offering him fruit, acting like a devoted girlfriend.

Looking at her obedient and docile appearance, Chen Hao suddenly had an idea. He leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Tingting, how about we find a secluded place and have something else?"

His tone was teasing, yet tinged with a hint of sarcasm.

Bai Tingting's cheeks flushed instantly. She paused, lowered her head, and remained silent for a few seconds before nodding slightly.

Chen Hao smiled, took her hand, and led her towards the disabled restroom. The two stood very close, occasionally whispering and laughing, creating a rather ambiguous scene.

The atmosphere in the waiting hall became subtle.

Zhao Manyan revealed a meaningful smile, as if he had already seen through everything.

Luo Song and Shen Mingxiao's faces were practically filled with jealousy, wishing they could switch lives. They gritted their teeth, and their little thoughts were already impossible to hide.

Zhao Manyan raised an eyebrow, leaned closer to Mu Nujiao, and coughed, "Hey Mu Nujiao, didn't Chen Hao initially prefer you? Are you just going to watch him like this?"

Mu Nujiao didn't say anything, but rolled her eyes and glanced in the direction of the toilet, saying calmly, "What does this have to do with me?"

"Hmph, how shameless!"

Song Xia gave a light scolding, but a blush rose on her face.

Since the day they destroyed the Bewitching Spider, Chen Hao and Bai Tingting have made their relationship public, and neither of them has been hiding anything from each other.

The sound of pile driving is so loud every night that it can't be hidden.

I might as well just stop pretending.

……

After venting his anger, Chen Hao formally bid farewell to everyone. He didn't rush to visit Lin Qian, which was to give the others an explanation, even though he himself wasn't mentally prepared.

Leaving Anjie, riding on bulls and horses, they set off again on the road to Jinlin City.

As expected, Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue, and the others should have arrived in Jinlin City. With the GPS watch, Chen Hao found them in just one day.

(Note: The location watch is mentioned in Chapter 291 of the original novel.)
When Chen Hao arrived, the group from the capital had already entered Jinlin City and entered the municipal building that had been parasitized by the pseudo-terror demon.

Chen Hao knew that there were giant lizard pseudo-dragons in this area, so he did not explore it and chose to go around it. He did not expect that Mo Fan and the others would still enter it.

After a fierce battle, the Imperial Capital's group began to suffer casualties. Liao Mingxuan was directly impaled through the heart by the roots of the pseudo-demon tree, Xiao Feng had one leg stuck inside, and the others were all injured to varying degrees.

It was only thanks to Mu Ningxue's use of the Ice Bow that the pseudo-Dread Demon was instantly killed, but she herself was rendered incapacitated, and the others were injured to varying degrees. As for the giant lizard pseudo-dragon, it likely did not appear in time due to the butterfly effect.

Before the mission even began, the team suffered heavy losses, morale plummeted, and voices of giving up rose and fell. Xu Dalong and the others were already planning to run away, and no matter how much Lu Zhenghe tried to persuade them, it was to no avail.

Mo Fan also had second thoughts. After several cautious hunting trips with Chen Hao, he understood how dangerous the area outside Anjie was, let alone approaching a region like Dongting Lake with monarch-level demons.

Regardless of the circumstances, the mission could not proceed, and as the team leader, Mu Ningxue had no choice but to make the difficult decision to return.

Chen Hao remained hidden in a high place, showing no intention of revealing himself.

The plot has become quite unrecognizable. He doesn't know when Lu Nian will arrive, but as long as Lu Zhenghe is still around, he will follow.

……

The next morning, the people from the capital began their journey home.

Morale was low; the incident at the municipal building had everyone on edge. Mo Fan was clearly isolated, while Chen Hao quietly lagged behind at the back of the group.

Just as the sky began to lighten, pairs of snow-white wings suddenly appeared in the distance, like a well-trained formation, approaching the group straight towards them.

Lu Zhenghe's face lit up with joy, while Chen Hao, hidden in the shadows, also revealed a cold smile.

He slowly took out the magic key that Dean Xiao had personally given him.

"Let me see... just how capable you really are."

……

The imperial procession emerged from the city ruins and proceeded along the rusty railway tracks.

Suddenly, a group of people leaped out of the forest. They were dressed in uniform, with a style similar to that of military mages, but with completely different color schemes.

Twenty or thirty soldiers, each accompanied by a giant white eagle, whose wings were half-drooping and almost touching the ground, were majestic and awe-inspiring.

"A military mages? Are they reinforcements?!" Zhao Mingyue and Qingqing were overjoyed.

The group walked straight ahead, led by a burly man with a pipe in his mouth and thick eyebrows.

"Kill all the bystanders!" After confirming with Lu Zhenghe with a glance, Lu Nian decisively gave the order.

A chilling aura emanated from the army, and various stars instantly swirled around, magical fluctuations as deep and unfathomable as a hell.

Without warning, two icy chains flew in from the left and right, instantly piercing through Zhao Mingyue and Qingqing's bodies.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the two girls didn't even have time to react before collapsing into pools of blood.

The group was thrown into chaos, and everyone was stunned and speechless.

"Wait! Big brother, they are trainees from the capital!" Lu Zhenghe hurriedly called out.

"That's why we had to silence them." Lu Nian's tone was cold, as if he were merely crushing a few ants.

The next moment, the group of military mages behind him simultaneously completed the casting of mid-level lightning spells.

Dark clouds rolled in, and lightning bolts, like dragons, gathered high in the sky!
"It's a level three lightning strike! Everyone get out of the way!" Mo Fan shouted.

Before he could finish speaking, a forked bolt of lightning crashed down, striking Xu Dalong directly.

He almost instinctively summoned all his life-saving magical artifacts, but the next second, another bolt of lightning struck down heavily, shattering his defenses instantly.

Ashes.

The second lightning bolt struck Xiaofeng. Before he could recover from his injuries, he didn't even have a chance to react before being reduced to ashes.

Mo Fan escaped unharmed because he was the mission target.

Mu Ningxue was protected by Lu Zhenghe and Mo Fan and escaped the disaster as well.

One is the mission objective, and the other is Lu Nian's younger brother, so naturally we can't kill them.

Besides, with only the two of them left, they can't cause any big trouble.

Lu Nian waved to signal a halt, and the demonic thunderclouds finally dissipated.
