161: Chapter 161 Is this your home?
Looking at the evening sky, he instructed Qing Yu to fly toward Baiyun City.
He didn't want to use his System skills to carry Qing Yu along the journey.
With only the conventional speed of teleportation, he wouldn't be able to cover such a vast distance in time.
Riding Qing Yu was undoubtedly the best choice.
Qing Yu didn't have a single word of complaint.
Flapping her wings, she flew toward Baiyun City at an astonishing speed, yet her flight was completely silent.
With just a light flap of her wings, she had already crossed hundreds of kilometers.
Lin Fan lay on her back with his hands behind his head, completely unaffected by the high-speed flight.
"So this is what it feels like to ride a flying mount. Not bad."
He thought to himself, telling Qing Yu to inform him in advance once they were close to Baiyun City.
On the return journey.
They soared over a Magic Shuttle Car carrying three people.
That car was also heading toward Baiyun City.
But Qing Yu flew extremely high, and her speed was close to a sonic boom.
The three people only felt something flash by, unable to tell if it was just an illusion.
"Did something just pass over our heads?"
Jiang Tianhai looked up and around, while the Magic Shuttle Car continued forward.
"I clearly felt a dark shadow streak past. Could it be a hallucination?"
Wei Donglin muttered to himself in confusion.
"It's impossible for all three of us to have a hallucination at the same time. Let's look around first."
The Fifth-Order Mage spoke, and the Magic Shuttle Car immediately changed direction.
Meanwhile.
Qing Yu had already flown thousands of kilometers and was only a few hundred meters away from Baiyun City.
After she informed Lin Fan.
Lin Fan immediately told her to stop, then jumped down and ordered her to change back into human form.
Lin Fan put his mask back on, and the two of them walked toward Baiyun City together.
Lin Fan discovered that even in human form, Qing Yu could still fly, and her speed remained incredibly fast.
In his eyes, this was a good thing.
The two entered the city smoothly, with the Alliance guards at the gate noticing nothing.
Along the way, Lin Fan was calculating how to settle Qing Yu after entering the city.
He wanted to find a place for her to stay in Baiyun City.
But if he purchased it using Mr. Chen's identity, it would surely attract attention if others discovered she was related to him.
Though this wouldn't affect him or Qing Yu, who was a powerful Demonic Beast.
But if she frequently appeared around his family, it would cause trouble sooner or later.
Therefore, Lin Fan decided to bring her back to his own home!
As for how to explain it to his parents, he had already prepared an excuse.
But before that, he had to make a trip to the Alliance Building.
Lin Fan had Qing Yu wait nearby while he walked into the Alliance Building alone.
He used Void Walk and appeared directly in Fang Bin's office.
Fang Bin was startled when he first saw him.
After seeing clearly that it was Mr. Chen, he immediately broke into a joyful smile.
Since the competition began, they hadn't seen a trace of Mr. Chen.
Fang Bin was naturally very curious as to why he hadn't shown up for such a major event in the city.
He also informed Lin Fan.
That Fifth-Order Mage still wanted to meet him and had an invitation to hand over.
Lin Fan didn't say much about it.
He only said he had been busy with important matters these past few days and couldn't watch the competition, and that he would visit that Fourth-Order when he had time.
Hearing Mr. Chen's explanation, Fang Bin naturally didn't dare to ask more and instead asked for the reason for his visit today.
Lin Fan said it was the same as usual; he wanted to sell Demonic Beast corpses.
Fang Bin immediately took charge of the matter and led Lin Fan out of the office.
On the way, Fang Bin mentioned the strange weather and bird cries in Baiyun City today.
He said it was likely caused by an extremely powerful Demonic Beast, and that Team Leader Jiang Tianhai, Wei Donglin, and that Fifth-Order Mage from the Magic University had already gone to investigate.
The three had not yet returned.
Lin Fan responded in a low voice, saying he knew everything.
And that he had already dealt with that Demonic Beast, so the city no longer needed to worry about it.
He didn't explicitly say whether he killed the Demonic Beast or tamed it.
But these words were enough for Fang Bin.
The sudden calming of the weather in the morning further confirmed Mr. Chen's words... the threat had been neutralized!
Fang Bin thanked Mr. Chen repeatedly, grateful for his help in resolving the Demonic Beast disaster.
He then spoke of the violent winds today, which had damaged many buildings in the city and even injured many citizens.
Lin Fan was stunned upon hearing this.
According to the time Fang Bin mentioned, that incident happened exactly when he was fighting Qing Yu.
Even from such a great distance, their battle had actually affected Baiyun City?!
Lin Fan was utterly speechless, but fortunately, the mask hid his expression, so others couldn't see his reaction after hearing this.
The two soon arrived at the room where Lin Fan usually took out the Demonic Beast corpses.
After opening the door, Fang Bin let him enter alone.
After entering the room.
Lin Fan's eyes glowed with a silver-white light, and stars with space attributes emerged around him.
A moment later.
He took out all the Demonic Beast corpses he was carrying, walked out of the room, and handed them over to Fang Bin for processing.
Fang Bin walked into the room and stared at the mountain of Demonic Beast corpses, his face blank at first, then he gave a helpless smile.
"What am I even surprised for?"
He chuckled self-deprecatingly.
Then he called over the Alliance staff to help.
Even so, the inventory work would take quite a bit of time.
Lin Fan waited outside the door.
When the Alliance staff saw him, they all greeted him respectfully and excitedly.
In the hearts of the people of Baiyun City.
Chen Ping was a legendary figure; seeing him meant having good luck for a whole week.
After waiting for over an hour.
Fang Bin and the staff finally finished counting all the Demonic Beast corpses and magic cores and walked out of the room.
Fang Bin had already finished the calculation; after deducting all fees, the total amount was as high as over six hundred million yuan.
The two returned to Fang Bin's office together.
Fang Bin handed Lin Fan a new Alliance card containing the funds.
After getting the money, Lin Fan didn't stay long. He left immediately, met up with Qing Yu who was waiting outside, and they departed together.
Qing Yu wanted to ask why he had been delayed for so long.
But thinking about what kind of monster Lin Fan was, she swallowed her words.
Under Lin Fan's lead, the two walked toward the outskirts of Baiyun City.
On the way, Lin Fan changed into casual clothes in a quiet corner, then continued toward his home.
Although Qing Yu had already known about his dual identity.
Seeing him take off his disguise and dress in casual clothes, she was still stunned.
This harmless and gentle appearance was like a completely different person from before.
No one would ever imagine.
That such a youth was actually the legendary Mr. Chen.
Moreover.
Qing Yu could never understand how Lin Fan, whose strength far exceeded the Saint-Tier, could suppress his cultivation and display the power of a First-Order Mage.
Just how many secrets was he still hiding?!
On the road, they encountered patrolling Alliance guards and a few thugs.
But the two looked like an ordinary young boy and girl, so no one came forward to bother them.
The Alliance guards had no reason to cause trouble.
And those thugs were too scared to even get close just by seeing Lin Fan's face.
Soon, the two arrived at Lin Fan's home, and the confusion on Qing Yu's face could no longer be hidden.
She looked at Lin Fan's back, then at the dilapidated houses around them.
