Chapter 1262: Consulting Xuan Tianji
Chen Nan held Han Yuting's hand and pursued the figure ahead.
But things were just like last night. No matter how fast he chased, the distance between him and the figure ahead remained unchanged.
"Is she still on the other side?" Han Yuting asked.
Chen Nan nodded and said, "Her footsteps are very slow, but it seems as if she can perform the Shrinking Ground Technique. No matter how fast we run, we can't close the distance between us and her."
"Don't say it in such an eerie way, okay? It makes my scalp tingle." Han Yuting clutched Chen Nan's hand tightly.
"The key is, this is too uncanny."
At this moment, Chen Nan's heart was truly torn, top and bottom, with no resolution.
"Ah!"
Han Yuting suddenly cried out in pain, prompting Chen Nan to stop quickly.
"What's wrong?" Chen Nan asked, looking at her with concern.
Han Yuting shook her head, puzzled: "I don't know what's going on, but a sudden sharp pain surged from my body, as if my whole person was going to split open. Now that I've stopped, it's fine."
"How can this be, could it be..."
Chen Nan abruptly looked ahead, and sure enough, the figure had vanished again.
Han Yuting asked, "What's wrong?"
"That figure is gone," Chen Nan said.
Han Yuting looked down the straight road ahead, with a visible distance of several hundred meters, and exclaimed, "Gone so quickly, could she have really disappeared into thin air?"
Chen Nan used his phone to take a photo of the front, saying, "Look, except for other pedestrians, there's nothing else."
"How could this be, Chen Nan, I'm so scared, let's stop following and go home, okay?" Han Yuting clung tightly to Chen Nan's arm, her body shivering, as she had never seen anything so strange.
Chen Nan hugged her tightly, patted her head, and said, "Don't be afraid, with me here, everything will be fine."
"Mhm."
Han Yuting nodded.
When they returned home, Su Qingqing and the others were watching TV in the living room.
Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, they all looked over, even ready to scold Chen Nan for not returning home all night. But when they saw Han Yuting, they excitedly rushed over.
Of course, except for Yun Fei.
Although she also came over, she didn't cheer like the others, given her pregnancy and not being so familiar with Han Yuting.
"Yuting, you're finally here to see us. Stay with me tonight," Su Qingqing said.
Jiang Xiaomi pushed her aside and rolled her eyes, "Don't even think about it; Yuting is my girl tonight."
"You're all dreaming, Yuting is playing games with me tonight, Angry Birds," Liu Tiantian waved the tablet in her hand and said happily.
"All you do is play games all day. What a waste of your high cultivation talent. If you could give me half... no, even half of your talent, I'd practice diligently to become a top master," Jiang Xiaomi said with a tone of despair.
Liu Tiantian stuck out her tongue at her, "I don't need to cultivate; I break through one rank a day, never stopping."
"You!"
Jiang Xiaomi was speechless with anger.
She worked hard for a month and only reached the Second Level of Dao Entry without achieving the Third Heavenly Realm.
Yet Liu Tiantian, doing nothing but eating, sleeping, playing games, and barely cultivating, had already broken through to the Earth Penetrating First Layer Heaven. It's enough to drive anyone crazy!
"Why did I have to meet such a freak?" Jiang Xiaomi sighed skyward.
Chen Nan smiled wryly, "Alright, stop fighting. Mimi, your cultivation talent is still very good. Tiantian is fast because of her unique family constitution, don't compare with her."
Jiang Xiaomi nodded, "I was joking, but Yuting is mine tonight; none of you can fight me for her."
"Alright, alright, she's yours; you can hold her all night," Chen Nan shook his head and said, "By the way, to celebrate Yuting's successful school transfer, I'm cooking for everyone's treat tonight."
No one paid attention to Chen Nan's shameless self-title, as everyone was attracted by his previous words.
"Is it true, Yuting, have you transferred schools?"
The four beauties and Yun Fei looked at Han Yuting with wide eyes, waiting for her reply.
"I have transferred; just completed the procedures," Chen Nan said.
Huo Xinya suddenly said, "Yuting, I remember you chose the same department with me. You must join our class. Also, there's exactly one bed left in my dormitory; we can nap together at noon. You must come."
"Don't worry. Chen Nan went with me; I've already put my stuff on your upper bunk!" Han Yuting said.
Huo Xinya excitedly said, "That's great; if I can't sleep at noon, I can disrupt you from below."
"..."
Everyone was sweating profusely.
Who would've thought that Huo Xinya, seemingly the most elegant, had such a habit.
Jiang Xiaomi hugged Han Yuting tightly, spinning happily, "What's an upper bunk? I'll hold you to sleep every night, haha."
Chen Nan sighed, "Mimi, could you consider my feelings?"
"Oh, Nan-Ge, don't cry, come hug," Jiang Xiaomi let go of Han Yuting and hugged Chen Nan with a child-soothing tone that made people laugh.
...
After that, laughter continued in the mansion.
After heading out to buy groceries and cooking, the family happily enjoyed their dinner.
Around seven in the evening, Chen Nan avoided the ladies and returned to his room, took out his phone, and called Xuan Tianji.
The figure resembling Han Yuting was too mysterious, and he couldn't be at ease without consulting the elder.
Initially, the elder didn't answer the phone, as usual.
But after Chen Nan dialed three times, the elder surprisingly returned his call, beginning with, "What do you want from me?"
Chen Nan didn't bother with his tone and began querying, detailing the three encounters with the figure.
After listening, the elder was silent for a long time.
"Old geezer, did he fall asleep?" Chen Nan urged.
To his surprise, the elder didn't retort but said heavily, "Brat, you've gotten yourself into big trouble this time."
"What do you mean?"
Chen Nan was shocked.
Aside from the last time the Void Rift opened and the Heavenly People Clan invaded, he had never heard the elder speak so seriously.
After all, the elder had peerless cultivation, could summon and refine Outer Heaven Stars. His strength was undeniable, so if he labeled it as "big trouble," it definitely was severe!
(It seems many people were frightened by the last chapter. Well, it's my fault for that! Just three chapters today; everyone should sleep early.)
