129: Chapter 129 A house can be stolen?

The small meet-and-greet finally concluded after nearly three hours of activity.

Some students secretly recorded the event and uploaded the footage. Initially, people were skeptical, but once they saw Lu Li standing next to Emperor Hero, their doubts vanished.

She was the second-in-command of the Special Affairs Bureau.

No one dared to joke about her.

Thus, the news that the Great Senior of Dongcheng City would be teaching at Dongcheng University spread like wildfire to every place with communication devices.

Meanwhile, Fang Xun was already leaving, riding his squeaking little blue.

"Seriously? You came on this thing?" Lu Li, riding her own little blue next to Fang Xun, scanned the creature.

Seeing Fang Xun riding little blue made her struggle to keep a straight face.

"What about your Light Shadow Steed?"

"Didn't customize one." Fang Xun smacked his lips. He had actually forgotten to customize an Emperor Steed for the Emperor Armor.

"Then I'll order one for you." For Lu Li, that was pocket change.

"No need, I won't really use it anyway." Fang Xun waved his hand. Steeds and such—he probably wouldn't have much use for them.

Saying that, Fang Xun glared fiercely at Lu Li.

He wondered if Lu Li could see his fierce expression through the helmet.

"If you dare instigate Jiang Qin again in the future, I'll beat your backside until it's ruined."

"Senior, what will you use to beat me?" Lu Li wasn't afraid of this 'Xiao Chunan'.

Someone who could raise a well-behaved child like Jiang Qin surely couldn't be entirely bad himself.

Dealing with good people, as long as their bottom line isn't crossed, they are actually easy to bully.

Lu Li's words truly left Fang Xun speechless.

He felt Lu Li was getting more and more audacious. Did she actually look forward to it a little?

Fang Xun couldn't be bothered to deal with Lu Li anymore. Riding little blue, he no longer wanted to hear her nagging.

Just then, Lu Li's phone rang.

Doo-doo-da-doo-doo-da.

Lu Li casually answered the call, but the news transmitted made her frown.

"The Great Senior went to the North City? Impossible, I'm with the Great Senior right now. A recording? Fine, let me see."

Lu Li looked at her phone as a short, few-second video message was sent over.

In the video, a person wearing the great sage armor was heading north, stepping on a somersault cloud.

Lu Li looked at the video, then looked at Fang Xun riding little blue in front of her.

"Are you the benevolent body?"

Lu Li knew that Fang Xun had started using the tiger talisman.

"What nonsense?" Being asked this by Lu Li, Fang Xun was genuinely confused.

"What benevolent body? No, you don't think I used the tiger talisman, do you? Unless absolutely necessary, I don't want to use that thing. Every time I use it, it feels weird."

Hearing Fang Xun say this, a slight blush appeared on Lu Li's face.

It really did feel weird.

But the matter at hand was important, so Lu Li could only suppress those strange thoughts and show the video to Fang Xun.

"Look, this great sage armor—isn't that yours?"

Fang Xun stared at the video for a moment, then nodded: "It's mine. I look quite handsome, actually."

"Then that's not you," Lu Li said.

"This is me." Fang Xun nodded. If not him, who else could it be?

"It was just filmed. This person wearing the great sage armor is flying toward the North City," Lu Li looked at Fang Xun, feeling for the first time that he was slightly dense.

"WTF? My house got robbed?" Fang Xun subconsciously thought someone had broken into his home.

But immediately, Fang Xun came back to his senses.

"That's not right. No one should be able to control my things."

Right now, unless Fang Xun deliberately let something go, everything else bore his brand. Only people he approved of should be able to use them.

"I'll go back and check first."

Fang Xun said, patting little blue beneath him.

"Emperor Steed."

As soon as the words fell, a phantom projection appeared on little blue's body.

Fang Xun roughly pulled Lu Li over and pressed her onto his shoulder.

"Let's go together and see what's going on. Go."

With a flash of light, the Emperor Steed shot into the sky.

...

...

A moment later, Lu Li, whose expression was quite unnatural, followed behind Fang Xun, even showing a hint of bashfulness.

"There are no signs that this door was forced open," Lu Li stood there somewhat awkwardly. She discreetly rubbed her thigh under her skirt before looking at the doorway.

"Let's go in and see. It's really strange."

Fang Xun was also puzzled. He retrieved the key from under the doormat and opened the door.

"Wait, you keep the key here too?" Lu Li was shocked. No wonder there were no signs of forced entry on the door.

Anyone could open the door with that key!

"Ah? Isn't that convenient?" Fang Xun skillfully tossed the key back under the doormat and led Lu Li inside.

After entering, Fang Xun finally realized something.

He had never brought Lu Li here before. How did Lu Li seem to know the situation here?

"How do you know about this place?" Fang Xun asked directly.

"It's not exactly knowing. It's just that you have two houses, but I've only ever seen you use that one. Even a ghost would know there's something fishy going on inside."

Lu Li gave Fang Xun a helpless look. What else could this place be besides Fang Xun's 'secret base'?

"...That's true." Fang Xun clicked his tongue. If the Special Affairs Bureau wanted to investigate his personal information, they probably knew more about it than he did himself.

Fang Xun flipped the light switch. As the light came on, Fang Xun discovered that the glass cabinet containing the great sage armor had been opened by something.

The armor inside was naturally gone without a trace.

"It really was stolen," Fang Xun exclaimed upon seeing this, yet he wasn't angry.

"The Great Senior is indeed the Great Senior; your composure is quite remarkable," Lu Li immediately praised him upon seeing Fang Xun's demeanor.

"It's fine as long as I get it back," Fang Xun said nonchalantly. "Where did he go?"

"North City. He's probably flown quite far by now. Maybe he stole it and intended to run far away?" Lu Li guessed.

"Possible. Then don't blame me for not being polite."

Fang Xun gestured, and the glass cabinet holding the Four Swords of Execution trembled slightly, then stopped.

Fang Xun: "?"

Lu Li burst out laughing upon seeing this.

"It seems your composure is indeed excellent. You aren't even in a hurry about this."

After realizing that Fang Xun was the Great Senior, Lu Li had many speculations about Fang Xun's abilities.

Although still vague, besides the things Fang Xun pretended to be or used, emotion seemed to be a very important condition for Fang Xun to drive his power.

Since Fang Xun seemed to be in a good mood now, he genuinely didn't care much about that set of armor.

Perhaps that was why he couldn't activate the power.

"...Wait a moment."

Fang Xun understood this better than Lu Li.

It wasn't that the Four Swords of Execution were too powerful; it was just that he truly couldn't use them.

Mainly, he only remembered the name 'Four Swords of Execution' but didn't actually know their specific effects or how to use them.

Just as Fang Xun was about to look for some more satisfactory equipment, Lu Li said:

"How about we ride the Light Shadow Steed instead?"

Lu Li unconsciously rubbed her thigh under her skirt again as she recalled the journey over.

"It's quite fast."
