Chapter 445: Lu Chuan
Chapter 445: Lu Chuan
Upon entering the headquarters of Lush Fragrant City, Li Qian and Duan Kong soon met the person in charge, the Grand Marshal Lu Chuan, also known as Lu Chuan, the Legendary Beastmaster.
Li Qian had encountered legendary Beastmasters before; the "Teacher Lu" he met once in Mo Yuan City and the principal of Sha Zhou Beast University, Pak Chi-yong, were both legendary Beastmasters.
Generally speaking, these legendary Beastmasters, in terms of appearance, didn't seem any different from ordinary people. They neither carried an air of superiority nor exuded a terrifying aura that would captivate the hearts of others.
Instead, each of them gave off a gentle and approachable vibe, much like a friendly uncle or a kind grandfather.
The Grand Marshal they met this time, who was in charge of Lush Fragrant City, also gave Li Qian this impression.
The Grand Marshal was an elderly man, more precisely, a middle-aged man in his fifties. His face was as smooth as jade, without a single wrinkle, but he had a head of hair that was half gray.
The Grand Marshal spoke in a very gentle tone, at least that's how Li Qian perceived it.
This made Li Qian feel a bit overwhelmed.
After all, this was a legendary Beastmaster, a giant among men, and the pinnacle of human strength.
"Li Qian, this time, I really must thank you." Lu Chuan looked at Li Qian and said with a smile, "Discovering the overlapping dimensional planes holds extraordinary significance for both Sha Zhou Beast University and our Jiangnan Beastmaster University."
"Although Sha Zhou City and Nan Du City are far apart, with the existence of this overlapping dimensional plane, we are now neighbors."
"You've made such a great contribution; neither Lush Fragrant City nor Jiangnan Beastmaster University will overlook it."
"We will give you the rewards you deserve."
Lu Chuan's mention of rewards caught Li Qian off guard, and he quickly waved his hands in refusal, "No, no, it's not necessary. I didn't discover this overlapping dimensional plane alone; Teacher Duan Kong also played an indispensable role."
"Also, the school should be giving me a reward."
Although discovering the overlapping dimensional plane held great significance for Jiangnan Beastmaster University, Li Qian felt a bit odd about accepting their reward, as he was, after all, a student of Sha Zhou Beast University.
"Your school's reward is from your school; we at Jiangnan Beastmaster University can't just do nothing."
Lu Chuan spoke with determination, "I heard that you, Li Qian, are from Jiangnan Province. Even if your hometown school gives you a reward, you should accept it."
Li Qian felt a bit pressured by this argument; it seemed a bit forced, but since Lu Chuan had already made up his mind, it would be ungrateful to refuse further.
So, he accepted the reward without further objection.
After informing Lu Chuan of the situation and chatting with him for a while, Li Qian and Duan Kong left the headquarters. As they departed, Duan Kong noticed Li Qian's change in expression and asked, "What's the matter? You seem a bit pensive."
"Nothing much," Li Qian replied casually, "Just a bit of longing."
"Longing is a good thing, but everything should be approached step by step. You can't eat a whole pig in one bite." Duan Kong patted Li Qian's shoulder comfortingly.
"By the way, what are your plans now? Are you heading back to Nan Du City directly, or do you want to visit my home?" Duan Kong invited.
Li Qian was taken aback by this question.
Visit Teacher Duan Kong's home?
What did he mean?
Wasn't his home in Black Feather City?
...
Half an hour later, inside a small manor, Li Qian saw the second wife of Teacher Duan Kong, a woman in her mid-twenties with a beautiful face and a gentle, elegant demeanor, like a delicate jade beauty. She was immersed in silence.
"Allow me to introduce you to Li Qian, a student from Sha Zhou Beast University and a once-in-a-century cultivation genius." Segong embraced the gentle and graceful teacher, introducing Li Qian.
Then, he introduced the other teacher, "Li Qian, this is your teacher, He Yuzhu. You can call her 'Yuzhu' teacher."
This introduction and scene were all too familiar.
It was identical to what happened in Heiyu City, and one couldn't say it was any different.
At that moment, Li Qian finally understood why Segong wanted him to call the previous teacher 'Mei Yi'.
Without a prefix, it would indeed be difficult to distinguish between them.
"No, no, I'm in a hurry to go home." After meeting the second teacher, they exchanged a few polite words, and just like the previous teacher, she was about to invite him to dinner. Li Qian quickly declined.
He didn't want to eat; he felt a bit heavy-hearted and couldn't bring himself to eat.
Finding a quick excuse, Li Qian prepared to leave. As he was about to go, he suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Teacher Segong, can you tell me how many more teachers I have? In case I meet them in the future and mix them up, it would be embarrassing."
"There's also Teacher Baojuan, who lives in the Southern Metropolis. So, there are just these three," Segong said, spreading his hands.
Just three? Li Qian didn't know what to say.
He could only complain in his heart, thinking that Segong was quite the player.
Of course, his complaints were accompanied by a hint of envy.
"Once you reach the Holy Spirit Rank, secular matters will no longer hold any sway over you."
As Li Qian was about to leave, Segong said, "Later, when you reach the Holy Spirit rank, you'll understand."
In Segong's eyes, Li Qian's most outstanding talent, even if not in beast taming, was in cultivation. His future achievement of the Holy Spirit rank was as certain as the sun rising in the east.
"I'll come to visit you again," Li Qian nodded, committing Segong's words to memory. Then, without further ado, he strode out of the small manor.
This time, Segong did not accompany him.
Li Qian had already arrived in Qingshan City, and the next step was to use the city's teleportation square to reach the Southern Metropolis.
There was no doubt that this journey would be entirely safe.
Even if Segong accompanied him, it would serve no purpose.
"Goodbye!" Li Qian waved his hand, bidding farewell to Segong and Teacher Yuzhu. Soon after, he arrived at Qingshan City's teleportation square. He glanced around at the surroundings, feeling no attachment, and directly entered the teleportation light screen.
The light flickered, and in the next moment, his figure appeared in an adventurer's hall.
Li Qian surveyed the area and realized that this adventurer's hall was significantly larger and more spacious than the one in Shazhou City. It was undoubtedly the adventurer's hall of the Southern Metropolis.
After wandering in the adventurer's hall for a while and familiarizing himself with the surroundings, Li Qian wasted no time and headed straight for the teleportation light screen across from the hall.
Passing through the light screen, he entered another hall. With the guidance of the signs, he realized that this was the pet taming hall of the Southern Metropolis.
Exiting the pet taming hall, he found himself in the Southern Metropolis, a special-grade city much larger in scale than Shazhou City.
Merging into the bustling crowd of the Southern Metropolis, Li Qian did not immediately call home or head directly to the teleportation center.
He was not in a rush to return home right away.
Through the messages in the 'Abandoned Pet Research' group, Li Qian learned that 'Piglet is Not a Pig' was also a high school graduate and had been admitted to Jiangnan Beastmaster Academy this year.
This time, Li Qian planned to meet her in person.
After chatting for so long, he didn't want to miss this rare opportunity to meet offline.
