#401 - Chapter 400 The Living Li Chenqiu

Wenren Qing raised an eyebrow slightly: "Why?"

Li Chenqiu stroked his chin, made a thoughtful gesture, and slowly said, "The ambush location is too strange. We just stopped, and those from the Takahashi Consortium rushed out, as if they had been predicted."

"Just that?" Wenren Qing seemed a little dissatisfied with the answer.

"There's more." Li Chenqiu continued to add: "Earlier on Green Island, when I was talking to Takahashi Mei, Duan Jifa suddenly interrupted, cutting me off.

To others, it seemed he was afraid I would offend Takahashi Mei and face retaliation later, but I always felt that this behavior was a bit protective, even ingratiating. But it could also be my imagination."

"Hmm." Wenren Qing nodded, her face unreadable. She opened the bottle cap, took a few sips of cola, and then calmly said:

"Understood. By the way, where did Xiang Nanzhi, the student who was on the mission with you earlier, go?"

"Him?" Li Chenqiu tapped his head with his finger: "After I knew this mission was relatively dangerous, I let him return to the Northern Federation alone. Whether he actually went back or not, I don't know."

"Is that so?" Wenren Qing murmured, without suspicion.

"Director Wenren, I want to ask, does our academy allow outsiders to live here?" A glimmer of anticipation flashed in Li Chenqiu's eyes.

Wenren Qing glanced at him indifferently, then looked straight ahead: "Students cannot, but Director Duan can, limited to three people, and they must apply for a temporary residence permit, costing 10,000 star points per person per year."

"Understood." The corners of Li Chenqiu's mouth rose slightly.

Instead of transferring Li Ji and Li Qingxia to other cities, it would be better to bring them directly to the Star Plucking Academy. After all, no matter how long the Takahashi Consortium's reach is, it can't extend to my residence, right!

"Director Wenren, I want to go back to City 11."

Wenren Qing didn't seem surprised and asked, "When do you plan to return?"

Li Chenqiu said seriously, "The sooner the better."

...

Time flew by in a few days.

On the endless wilderness, a groundhog poked its head out of the grass, its round eyes looking around. Just as it was about to crawl out of the hole,

Whoosh—

A huge black shadow swept across the low sky, and the gust of wind directly overturned the groundhog, which rolled countless times on the ground before stopping, dazed, and looking in the direction where the black shadow left.

"Li Xuan You, how long until we reach City 11?"

Li Chenqiu, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes and patted Li Xuan You under him.

Li Xuan You tilted his head: "Soon, we'll be there by noon!"

Li Chenqiu said in surprise, "Just point in a direction and you can move straight ahead. You really weren't bragging!"

Li Xuan You smiled proudly: "Hehe, it's all basic skills!"

Originally, Li Chenqiu planned to wait for the boat to dock, have Huang Jianhua carry him, and rely on the compass to correct the direction to City 11, but at this moment, Li Xuan You jumped out.

"Master, there's no need for so much trouble at all. You just point me in a direction, and I can move straight ahead without any deviation!"

And so, in just a few days, Li Xuan You brought Li Chenqiu across mountains and rivers to this place.

Looking at the gradually clearer outline of the city in the distance, Li Chenqiu slowly stood up, supporting his knees. His stern face seemed much softer at this moment, and even his eyes had some warmth.

...

It was noon, and Coco's Fried Rice Restaurant was bustling with people. The tables inside and out were full, and the greasy aroma of fried rice spread extremely quickly under the scorching sun.

Even pedestrians across the road could clearly smell it, and eventually, urged by their stomachs, they unconsciously walked to the entrance of the fried rice restaurant and ordered Li Chenqiu's favorite "Cumin Egg Fried Rice"!

"Is this fried rice that delicious?"

Li Chenqiu, wearing a mask and with his hands in his pockets, stood by the roadside and muttered.

The young man standing next to him who was broadcasting live slightly rotated his wrist, pulling Li Chenqiu into the shot as well. He approached familiarly, grinning:

"Brother, you don't understand, this is called the celebrity effect!"

"Celebrity effect?" Li Chenqiu looked at him in confusion.

The young man didn't explain, but said to the live broadcast camera: "Family, it seems this handsome guy doesn't know about our city hero's deeds.

Does everyone want to see the host explain it to him, want to see him show a shocked expression, want to see it, type 1, don't want to see it, gouge out your eyeballs, send small gifts!"

Beep beep beep—

Explosive music came from the phone, and the young man twisted his waist and stared at the phone screen. He saw a screen full of "1" floating across the screen, as well as colorful small gifts.

Li Chenqiu frowned slightly and was about to step away when the young man grabbed his arm: "Brother, wait a moment, it won't take you long."

As he spoke, he forced a cigarette into Li Chenqiu's hand.

"Sorry, I have important things to do. Find someone else to do your Q\u0026A game!" Li Chenqiu refused outright and put the cigarette back into the other person's pocket.

The young man seemed not to hear, and subconsciously used force to grip Li Chenqiu's palm, his pupils uncontrollably dilating: "Wait, your voice..."

At first, he felt that Li Chenqiu's voice was very familiar, but he didn't pay attention. It wasn't until he heard such a long passage that he understood why he found the other person's voice so familiar.

Isn't this freaking Li Chenqiu's voice!!!

Not only did the young man hear it, but the audience in the live broadcast room also heard it.

[I'm shocked, isn't this Li Chenqiu's voice???]

[Could this be Li Chenqiu!]

[Look, he has a beauty mark on the corner of his left eye, the location is exactly the same as Li Chenqiu's!]

[It's real, Li Chenqiu is back in City 11!]

...

"Are you kidding me? Is my voice that recognizable?" Li Chenqiu's head was buzzing.

I'm not a celebrity, showing my face and speaking on TV every day, how could someone associate me with just my voice?

Ignoring the shock, Li Chenqiu quickly pulled out his arm, his figure flashed and disappeared in place.

The next second.

"Li Chenqiu, it's the real Li Chenqiu, I was just talking to the real Li Chenqiu!!!" the young man shouted excitedly into the phone screen.

His voice was undisguised, and the diners around him heard it clearly, and they all looked up at the young man.

"What real Li Chenqiu?" someone asked in a daze.

"Just now... just now Li Chenqiu was standing here, standing here talking to me!" the young man said excitedly, pointing to the seat next to him.

"What!!!"

"Li Chenqiu is back?!"

"Really? How come I didn't see him!"

"Where is he? Where is he!"

For a time, the diners stood up one after another, looking around excitedly.
