Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1269: Chapter 716: Running Away from Home (Part 2)

Da Yu remained silent for a while: ”...That really is ruthless.”

In fact, Da Yu felt quite uncomfortable about it.

Just now, Qing Chen had arranged a whole lot of things in front of him, as if subconsciously treating him as one of his own.

Da Yu wanted to walk away arrogantly, thinking to himself that he disdained eavesdropping on their information.

But he also wanted to know what Qing Chen was planning to do...

To be honest, Da Yu thought for a long time and still couldn’t figure out how to kill that Puppet Master, but Qing Chen quickly came up with a method, which made Da Yu a bit unwilling to accept...

At this time, Qing Chen said, ”Zard and Huan Yu, you two first help the settlement complete the waterworks project...”

Da Yu, lost in thought, subconsciously replied, ”Fine... my ass!”

He turned around and left the War Fortress.

Qing Chen smiled and looked back at the couriers.

These couriers no longer had names, they were called 001, 002, 003... up to 112. Qing Chen had placed his bets on these people.

To kill the person who makes Puppets, there was only this path to take, and once he embarked on it, Qing Chen had no intention of turning back, even if the world became his enemy.

At this moment, Xiao Qi said, ”By the way, boss, a few days ago, Xiao Tongyun suddenly came and took 32 leaves of Zhi Lanxing, saying she’d leave them in the dormitory for backup, so she wouldn’t have to come every time she ran out. I noticed we still had plenty in stock, so I gave them to her. You were busy arranging with the scientists at that time, so I didn’t mention it to you.”

For the Agricultural College, 32 leaves of Zhi Lanxing were nothing, not worth making a fuss.

But Xiao Qi remembered this matter and felt that something was off.

Qing Chen thought for a moment, ”She took them, let it be. I actually have something to ask her; I’ll find out what she did with those Zhi Lanxing leaves.”

leaves of Zhi Lanxing, enough for one person to sustain for 224 days, almost three-quarters of a year.

He called Li Tongyun, wanting her to bring Xiao Zhenji to see him.

Unexpectedly, Li Tongyun was not in the service area.

How odd, with an independent signal tower on Whale Island, how could she be out of service?

He first went to the place where Li Tongyun and Xiao Zhenji usually trained, but no one was there.

He then went to the dormitory area and knocked on the door.

Jiang Xue opened the door wearing a white short-sleeved t-shirt; in the Outer World, she wouldn’t dare wear short sleeves for fear of others seeing her mechanical arm.

But on Whale Island, she felt more at ease. Among the Time Travelers with mechanical limbs here, there were hundreds, if not thousands. She felt very happy on Whale Island, teaching art, and she didn’t have to endure strange looks from others, nor harassment from her ex-husband.

This elder sister remained as gentle as ever: ”Qing Chen, what brings you here?”

”I came to find Li Tongyun and Xiao Zhenji, aren’t they in the dormitory?” Qing Chen asked.

”They’re not, maybe they went to the island for training again,” Jiang Xue said helplessly, ”Xiao Tongyun insists on Xiao Zhenji training, and I can’t stop her, can’t lock her in the room either... Later I realized she actually knew her limits, so I stopped interfering.”

Qing Chen shook his head: ”They are not at the training place.”

With that, he went inside to check Xiao Zhenji and Li Tongyun’s beds.

Hmm, they took their personal belongings, even Xiao Zhenji’s favorite doll, which Qing Chen bought for her in the Island Country.

Li Tongyun also took the taboo item ACE-119 tissue box.

”They... ran away from home,” Qing Chen said with a mix of tears and laughter, ”Such a commotion, and they didn’t even say a word to me.”

”Ah?!” Jiang Xue’s face changed: ”Where did they go?”

Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, ”I probably know where they went, don’t worry, first of all, they won’t be in any danger. Li Tongyun is bold yet cautious, she wouldn’t do anything reckless. She wanted to run away from home, but never did before, implying... she’s likely already trained to B-Class using the Zhi Lanxing!”

B-Class is a threshold, which means as long as she doesn’t go to the most dangerous places like North America, Li Tongyun would hardly be in trouble.

Earlier, Qing Chen had Li Tongyun switch to practicing God of Thunder, yet the girl didn’t listen and continued with her own training methods.

Now that he thinks back, she must have been planning to run away from home, calculating that she wouldn’t have to get hit anymore once she reached B-Class.

So, she aimed to train to B-Class using her current method before retraining with God of Thunder, so it wouldn’t delay her plans to leave home.

It’s true, people talented in training can be quite willful...

”Where did they go?” Jiang Xue asked curiously.

”Don’t worry, they’ll be fine,” Qing Chen said with a smile, ”Just treat it as if these two girls went to summer camp; someone will take care of them. I also have to leave; Whale Island’s matters will need Aunt Jiang Xue to look after.”

Jiang Xue nodded, ”Yes, I will.”

On the first day of returning, Qing Chen left the island.

He had to walk his own path now.

To watch a snowfall, to kill some people.

...

...

On a cargo plane flying from Zheng City to Haicheng, the knights sat beside the cargo racks somewhat dejected, where were the promised private jet and celebrity parties?

”Isn’t the master deceiving us, claiming there were four private jets, yet everyone is on a cargo plane, not even with chairs, just sitting on a heap of parcels, this is far different from what he described,” Zhang HuBao sat on the plane, shocked: ”Where’s the top-notch coaching team?”

All these knights wore Hu’s courier uniforms, not having bathed for days, unkempt and utterly frustrated.

Hu Xiaoniu laughed, ”Did the master tell you that? Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it; the Knight Organization’s tradition is to fool the apprentices. You too can do the same when you have the chance to spread your wings.”

In the cabin, Zhang Tianzhen laughed, ”There are professional coaches and celebrity parties, but those aren’t what you should focus on now. You are still weak and can’t appear in the open. If four private jets from Hu Corporation were to take you to Haicheng, wouldn’t it announce your whereabouts to the world? So, remain anonymous until you complete the eight deadly trials.”

Hu Xiaoniu, still laughing, said, ”You’ve climbed the sheer cliffs of Qingshan, and the first upcoming training is diving, the second is skydiving from high altitudes, the third is mountain biking, the fourth is wing suit flying... The final one, I’ll take you aboard a fishing boat to head out into the open ocean, seeking a storm at sea like the master.”

Zhang Tianzhen laughed, ”Fishing King Crab in the most dangerous places, riding mountain bikes over steep cliffs, facing thirty-meter sea waves fearlessly. Compared to private jets and celebrity parties, these are indeed the most romantic adventures of your life. You are knights, and true knights earn their title with sweat and toil. And until then, you must keep your presence unknown.”

Hu Xiaoniu also added, ”Once off the plane, you’ll blend in as regular laborers. In 6 hours, an unmarked bus will pick you up one by one and take you to your target location.”

”Understood,” Ye Han nodded.

Still got to work, huh, they even loaded this entire plane of cargo...

How could knights mess with their trainees like this!?

However, at this moment, there was a commotion from their luggage pile, and Hu Xiaoniu was stunned. Zhang Tianzhen immediately pulled out a dagger from his waist and protected Hu Xiaoniu.

Zhang Tianzhen said coldly, ”Who’s there, come out!”

”Don’t be nervous, it’s us.”

Only to see Li Tongyun and Xiao Zhenji crawling out from two 28-inch rolling suitcases.

XiaoTongyun hurriedly tidied her own hair and then did the same for Xiao Zhenji, maintaining her imposing ”Third Senior Sister” demeanor...

She nonchalantly said, ”Ahem, I’ve advanced to B-Class. Your master sent me to be all of your Protector, hiding in the suitcase just to test your alertness, to see if anyone would find me. I must say, I’m quite disappointed.”

Hu Xiaoniu said, ”Tongyun... I’ll call the master once I deplane.”

XiaoTongyun got anxious, ”No, no, no, no, no!”
