Chapter 81: Grandpa Zhong, The Monster Has Been Taken Care Of
A particular department in the capital.
"Sir, we have an emergency." The female officer’s expression became exceptionally solemn.
"Did the monster go berserk?" The senior officer immediately walked over.
The female officer shook her head and pointed to a giant red circle on the screen. "Sir, I’ve never seen such a level of energy fluctuation before."
Her voice was trembling as she spoke. She looked terrified.
The senior officer stared at the spreading red circle on the screen and covered his mouth with his hands. He paled instantly.
For a moment, the air in the room became particularly heavy.
…
At the bottom of the sea.
Qin Chuan didn’t hold back at all; he released his aura as a Golden Core cultivator.
For a time, the seawater in the region boiled, bubbling violently.
The giant creature had no intention of resisting.
Under the suppression of such a powerful aura, it couldn’t control its body.
Qin Chuan thought that the creature was preparing a powerful move, so he struck first to gain the upper hand. He quickly summoned his flying sword and controlled it, using 80% of his strength to shoot towards the head of the giant creature.
The flying sword swiftly flew through the water. The sword’s energy rubbed against the seawater, forming a vacuum.
With a loud bang, the flying sword pierced through the gigantic creature’s head without resistance.
The giant creature died immediately.
Its gigantic body slowly collapsed, while Qin Chuan frowned.
"This…"
Qin Chuan thought that the beast would be more powerful, but it turned out that it was just a facade. He thought there would be a fierce battle, but he was worried for nothing.
After which, Qin Chuan retracted his aura and arrived at the creature’s heart.
"Grandpa Zhong, the monster has been taken care of." Qin Chuan transmitted his voice using divine consciousness.
Zhong Gufei was shocked.
That’s it?
As expected of the Sect Master, he really is impressive.
"Grandpa Zhong, I will help you get out now."
Qin Chuan controlled his flying sword to cut the monster’s heart.
Soon, Zhong Gufei crawled out from the monster’s body.
"Sect… Sect Master!" Upon seeing Qin Chuan, Zhong Gufei was exceptionally agitated.
But it was difficult to talk in the water.
Upon seeing this, Qin Chuan used the water-avoiding spell on him, allowing him to communicate normally.
"Sect Master, did I cause trouble for you?" Zhong Gufei said guiltily.
Qin Chuan smiled and said, "How is this troublesome? You have brought an opportunity to the sect. I haven’t even thanked you yet!"
"Is that so?" Zhong Gufei scratched his head and smiled.
"Since we have dealt with the monster, I shall bring you back!" Qin Chuan said.
Zhong Gufei immediately said, "Sect Master, I can’t go back yet."
"Is there anything else?" Qin Chuan faltered.
"Sect Master, I came with a tour group, didn’t I?
"If I were to go back now, they would think I died.
"When they inform my family, there will be more trouble."
Qin Chuan thought for a moment and said, "That’s true! Then I will bring you to the shore, and you can come back by yourself."
"Yes, yes!" Zhong Gufei bowed. "Thank you, Sect Master."
After that, Qin Chuan placed the monster into the system space and left the sea with Zhong Gufei.
At the same time, the National Security Council called for an emergency meeting.
Not long after, advanced fighter jets flew towards the Valley Sea.
…
Back on shore,
Qin Chuan said to Zhong Gufei, "I shall return first."
"You
Zhong Gufei was stunned. "Sect Master, isn’t your dream to get all people to cultivate? Why are you not allowing me to reveal it now?"
"It’s rather complicated right now.
"Anyway, from now on, don’t tell anyone without my permission, including your own family."
When he heard how serious Qin Chuan was, Zhong Gufei didn’t think too much about it.
"But sect leader, look at how young I’ve become. If my family asks, what should I say?" Zhong Gufei suddenly thought of this question.
He didn’t see his relatives that often, but they would eventually meet.
When they asked about it, what would he say?
Qin Chuan had thought of this problem before, so he had a countermeasure.
"Just say that you volunteered for some scientific organizations. I saw the news that there are some overseas scientific organizations that have already developed techniques that can make people younger," Qin Chuan said.
Zhong Gufei blinked and said without confidence, "Would they believe me? What if they also want to become younger?"
"Err…" Qin Chuan was awkward now.
I didn’t think about that.
"If they are your family and can be trusted, then bring them here!" Qin Chuan helplessly said.
After all, it seemed pretty difficult to completely cover up the matter of immortal cultivation unless they hid from the world. However, this wasn’t realistic.
And just like that, Qin Chuan left.
Zhong Gufei went to look for his tour group.
However, he only had a pair of boxers on right now. Walking on the streets, he attracted the attention of many people, making him feel embarrassed.
"Excuse me, have you seen anyone wearing a red vest with the words "XX Tourism" printed on it?" Zhong Gufei asked as he walked.
As there were many tourists here, he quickly got an answer.
Those people were at the hotel they stayed at last night.
The town was not big. Zhong Gufei arrived after walking for half an hour.
The entire tour group was there. They were having lunch as if nothing had happened that morning.
The tour guide was making a call under a banana tree. Her eyes were red like she had just cried.
Zhong Gufei walked over and patted the tour guide’s shoulder.
The tour guide turned around and was surprised to see Zhong Gufei. It was as if she had been electrocuted. She looked extremely surprised.
A man’s shouts were still coming from her phone.
"Hey, are you listening?
"You don’t think I’ll fire you, huh?"
…
He seemed to be lecturing her.
At this moment, the tour guide ignored the person on the phone.
She stared at Zhong Gufei, tears involuntarily flowing down her face.
"S-Sir, you’re not dead?" the tour guide asked in disbelief while sobbing.
Zhong Gufei smiled. "What do you mean dead? I’m fine!"
"I heard from the captain that you fell into the sea and were eaten by a whale."
Tears streamed down the tour guide’s face. She looked extremely aggrieved.
It was the first time she led a tour group. She was petrified when they were on the ferry.
When the captain told her that Zhong Gufei had fallen into the sea, her mind went blank.
Back on shore, she immediately informed the headquarters of the situation.
The headquarters took this matter very seriously and called for an emergency meeting to discuss the matter.
During this time, the tour guide’s supervisor lectured her again and again.
She broke down.
Fortunately, Zhong Gufei had returned.
All of a sudden, the tour guide burst into tears from all the stress and grievances she had suffered.
Zhong Gufei was experienced. He knew what had happened without the tour guide’s explanation.
Hence, he took the tour guide’s phone.
"Hello, I am Zhong Gufei.
"Yes, that’s right. I was the one who fell into the sea. I didn’t die. I’m back."
"Please stop making things difficult for this young lady now."
…
After an explanation, Zhong Gufei hung up.
"Young lady, it’s alright. Don’t cry," Zhong Gufei comforted her.
The tour guide wiped her tears and calmed down. Then, his voice trembled as she said, "S-Sir, thank you!"
Zhong Gufei smiled. "What are you thanking me for? It’s all my fault for causing you to suffer so much."
"Sir, can you tell me how you came back? So that I can make a report to the headquarters," the tour guide asked seriously.
"This… Let’s…" Zhong Gufei scratched his nose, looking a little troubled.
He could not tell her that he had been inside the monster’s body all this while, could he?!
However, he still managed to muddle through it in the end.
