The Ghost Hunting Wolf was in a miserable state; every time it woke up, it would be stabbed by Lin Chen.
So, every time the Ghost Hunting Wolf fell unconscious, it would resolve to tear Lin Chen into pieces one day.
It, the noble offspring of the Beast King, had never suffered such humiliation and pain.
About ten days later, some students came to inform Lin Chen that the entrance to the ruins had opened.
"The Spirit Academy must have discovered it." Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, other students looked maliciously at the Ghost Hunting Wolf, and with mentors backing them, they contemplated killing it.
The Ghost Hunting Wolf noticed the murderous intent in their eyes, and its eyes filled with rage.
However, it was currently powerless to resist.
Unexpectedly, Lin Chen, whom it hated, acted benevolently. He said, "I have no objection to you killing it, nor do I want another enemy outside here..."
"However, you should think twice."
"Does the Demon Race dare to invade our Spirit Academy?" a student asked skeptically.
Lin Chen replied, "The Demon Race definitely doesn’t dare come here, but have you ever thought that the fact that the Human Race and Demon Race can negotiate peacefully means the Human Race doesn’t wish for a great war? If the Ghost Hunting Wolf King rises up because of it at this moment, do you think you would become a bargaining chip for the Dubhe Pavilion?"
"The Dubhe Pavilion always values the lives of Beastmasters, not..."
The student trailed off.
The Monster Hunter Guild, such a massive organization, could become a bargaining chip, so how couldn’t a small student like him?
In the so-called big picture, individual strength is very weak.
What Lin Chen said seemed distant but was not impossible, especially at this sensitive time.
The students finally gave up, the Ghost Hunting Wolf let out a huge sigh of relief, and Lin Chen patted it on the shoulder, saying:
"So, you still owe me a thanks."
The Ghost Hunting Wolf glared furiously, wishing it could devour Lin Chen whole.
Lin Chen kept his promise and let them go.
With Lin Chen’s disposition, he indeed didn’t want to let wolves return to the mountain.
But the situation was too complex, and the timing too special, so Lin Chen didn’t want to get involved.
Lin Chen was very clear about himself, knowing that in the grand schemes of the Human Race and the Demon Race, he wasn’t even a consideration.
They returned the Ghost Hunting Wolf to the Demon Beast Army and urged them to leave quickly.
If the mentors arrived, the outcome would be hard to say.
The Demon Beast Army finally left in great numbers, and Lin Chen and the others headed towards the entrance.
At this moment, Daoist Zhang was leading a group of mentors inside, and upon hearing a student mention a Unicorn, they were all immensely excited.
So, just before Lin Chen and his group reached the entrance, they met the mentors.
"Where are the Demon Beasts?" Daoist Zhang asked angrily.
"Already let them go," Lin Chen pointed in the direction.
Daoist Zhang frowned and instructed two mentors to stay while the others pursued them.
Two hours later, they returned.
He didn’t blame Lin Chen for letting them go, but said, "Since they dared to come here, this matter cannot be left unresolved."
Turning his head, Daoist Zhang looked at Lin Chen and the others and said, "I also heard about your matters. Well done this time; the Unicorn is a special Spirit Beast and must not fall into the hands of the Demon Race."
While speaking, he noticed the Unicorn in Bai Ling’s hand.
The mentors were all seeing it for the first time, each filled with curiosity.
Lin Chen asked, "Uh, Instructor Zhang, there’s still some time, us...."
"The ruins have ended early, and this time there will be an extra stipend for the students," Daoist Zhang said. "For those who participated in the battle, rewards will be distributed based on merit later."
Lin Chen was delighted to hear this.
This was the moment he had been waiting for.
If rewards were given directly, who needs to treasure hunt or gamble on luck?
Securing a baseline reward is always the best.
In the Mentor Hall, Liu Gu spit out his food upon hearing this, needing several listens to understand.
The "useless" disciple in his eyes, Bai Ling, had actually obtained a Unicorn?
Upon learning the news, Liu Gu rushed to the Secret Realm entrance, just as Daoist Zhang and the others came out.
When Liu Gu saw the Unicorn in Bai Ling’s hand, he swallowed hard.
A Unicorn’s nature is to favor humans, but because of its weak strength, it usually chooses to depend on a strong figure. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveI(F)ire.net
Bai Ling, with such weak combat ability, how did the Unicorn take a liking to her?
Liu Gu approached, and Daoist Zhang explained everything.
Liu Gu scanned Lin Chen and the others and then walked towards Bai Ling, who hurriedly greeted him.
"Did you thank them?" Liu Gu asked.
Bai Ling paused and then quickly said, "I’ve already thanked them."
After hearing this, Liu Gu still stepped forward and said to Lin Chen and the others, "Thank you for assisting my disciple."
Lin Chen and his group dared not delay, quickly returning the gesture.
Finally, Lin Chen and the others were instructed to return first, while the mentors took Bai Ling and the Unicorn ahead.
After they left, the students whispered among themselves.
"Do you think Bai Ling can keep the Unicorn?"
"Difficult, this Spirit Beast is too powerful, and it’s useless in her hands."
"But the Unicorn is a loyal creature; once it chooses, it has chosen."
"As long as the thought is not lost, there’s always more methods than difficulties."
Many doubted that Bai Ling could continue to hold onto the Unicorn.
Lin Chen pondered for a moment and then gave up.
Since the Unicorn wasn’t his, thinking about it was needless.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw Fang You’s Nine Tribulation Beast suddenly sitting and beginning to meditate...
Was it struck and preparing to break through again?
Lin Chen was speechless, but eventually sighed and went on his way.
