Versatile Mage: Sword of the Stars, Slay All Evil Spirits

Chapter 88: Saran's hiding place, news about soul seeds [Seeking follow-up reading]

The door was slowly pushed open with a slight "creak" sound, and the scene inside came into Chen Chen's eyes.

The layout of the hunting lodge remains the same, a little old but exuding a calm atmosphere.

On the wall are some records of previously completed tasks and relevant information about demon hunting.

The tables and chairs were neatly arranged, but at this moment there was a tense atmosphere.

Leng Qing was sitting in the middle of the room, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something.

When she heard the door open, she turned her head and saw that it was Chen Chen. A smile immediately appeared on her face, "Ah Chen, you're back so soon."

Chen Chen nodded slightly, "Actually, there was nothing wrong over there, so I rushed back as soon as possible."

Leng Qing stood up and took a few steps towards Chen Chen. "It's good to come back. The situation is quite tricky now. Saran is too cunning. Although we have tracked his whereabouts, we only have the name of the location."

"Is that so?" Chen Chen frowned and then relaxed his brows, stepped forward and hugged Leng Qing, "Don't be anxious, take your time, as long as he is still here, we can bring him to justice!"

"Yeah." Leng Qing rarely showed her soft side and leaned gently against Chen Chen's chest.

Chen Chen also knew that she was under a lot of pressure, so he was happy to let her relieve it.

After a while, Leng Qing slowly left Chen Chen's arms.

She raised her head and looked at Chen Chen, her eyes full of trust and dependence, "With you here, I feel much more at ease. This time, Saran's traces in the country are our last chance to capture him!"

"Try your best. If you really can't do it, don't force it." Chen Chen patted her shoulder.

"I will." Leng Qing nodded slightly, walked to the water bar, tied on an apron, and asked with a smile, "Would you like something to drink?"

"Same old as always." Chen Chen also responded cooperatively.

Leng Qing fiddled with the tea set skillfully, boiling water, taking tea, and washing tea, his movements smooth and flowing.

Well, make tea.

After a while, a cup of steaming hot tea with a faint fragrance was handed to Chen Chen.

Chen Chen took it, took a sip, and the familiar taste spread on his tongue.

Leng Qing also poured himself a cup, sat opposite Chen Chen, and slowly said: "The insider of the Tribunal told us that Saran is hiding in the Tianping area near the sea."

Chen Chen frowned slightly, and said thoughtfully: "That place, it is indeed the safest in the most dangerous place."

The saying "a cunning rabbit has three burrows" is absolutely not an exaggeration when used to describe the Black Church.

Even if he led the Inquisition to clear Chongming Island in advance, the Black Church still had other hiding places.

As tenacious as cockroach!

"Yeah, we didn't expect that there would be a Black Church base here." Leng Qing also sighed.

"I plan to send a few teams of experienced hunters to find out the situation."

Chen Chen nodded in agreement with this method. "Well, this is a good idea. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. But the people you send out must be more cautious.

Saran is a cunning fellow. If he finds out, my life might be in danger."

Leng Qing replied: "Don't worry, the people from the Inquisition will be watching from the dark and will come to the rescue immediately if anything happens."

At this point, she became concerned about Chen Chen's physical condition, "Come to think of it, you just came back from training outside, take a good rest first.

I'll call you when I have new news."

Chen Chen waved his hand, without a trace of tiredness in his eyes, "No, I'm a high-level mage, how can I get tired so easily."

As he spoke, he flipped through the relevant information on the table.

Leng Qing looked at Chen Chen's focused back, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

She knew very well that Chen Chen was so serious because he wanted to help her, otherwise, with his personality, he would never help her so wholeheartedly.

…Just when Chen Chen was looking at the information, Leng Qing suddenly received a call.

After hanging up, Leng Qing rubbed his brows, then said to Chen Chen: "Ah Chen, I need to go and make some arrangements, and I will be back later."

"Yeah." Chen Chen nodded and put down the information. "I want to go to the academy as well."

The two of them packed up briefly and went out together.

After leaving the alley, they went in different directions.

Chen Chen came to Mingzhu Academy, where it was still a bustling scene.

Young students came and went, discussing magical knowledge or practicing skills, full of vigor and energy.

Chen Chen walked straight towards the dean's office.

Along the way, many people who knew him greeted him enthusiastically, and he just nodded slightly in response.

Arriving at the dean's office, Chen Chen knocked gently on the door.

A familiar voice came from inside: "Come in."

Chen Chen pushed the door open and walked in.

Dean Xiao was sitting behind his desk. When he saw Chen Chen, a gentle smile appeared on his face: "You're back from your training."

Chen Chen walked forward, sat down on a chair nearby, and said with a wry smile: "You should know that I am not interested in this experience."

"Yes, by the way, what brought you back?" Dean Xiao smiled, his eyes revealing curiosity and concern.

"Come back to help my family." Chen Chen said with a smile.

"So that's how it is. Then I, an old man, won't ask any more questions." Dean Xiao nodded, and then continued, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Yes." Chen Chen answered bluntly, "I want to know who has challenged our national pavilion during this period."

Grand Duke Irene should be here during this period, but I need to look up the information for details.

"Oh, this." Dean Xiao suddenly realized, and then took out a challenge order list from the drawer.

This piece of paper records in detail the information of recent challengers and the order of challenges.

Then he handed it to Chen Chen, "This is it, take a look."

Chen Chen took it and looked at it. "South Korea, Egypt...Britain..."

It will take a few more weeks, probably.

At this moment, Chen Chen suddenly remembered that Asharuya had not given him the soul seed yet!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He hadn't even gotten the light soul seed he'd been longing for, and there was no news about it at all.

"Thank you, Dean. I have something else to do." Chen Chen thanked him and turned to leave the office.

Dean Xiao also watched Chen Chen leave with a smile.

After walking outside, Chen Chen took out his phone and contacted Asharuya.

Soon, Asharuya's slightly lazy voice came from the other side: "Hey, Chen Chen, why did you think of calling me?"

Chen Chen didn't hesitate and went straight to the point: "You promised me something about the light soul seed. Is there any news?"

"Humph, I knew you were thinking about this." Asharuya snorted softly, and then continued: "At present, there is some clue, but we still need to confirm it. Please wait patiently."

Chen Chen frowned, but he also knew that this kind of thing couldn't be rushed, so he said politely: "Okay, thank you for your trouble."

Asharuya smiled and said, "Oh, it's rare that you care about me so much. Don't worry, I will definitely do it if I promise."

"Then I'll wait for good news." Chen Chen replied.
