We’ve been out for such a long time without returning on schedule, the teacher will definitely suspect something, especially considering we’re in a hostile state with the experts on Delmar Star, so I think the teacher must have come to that construction site to search for us, am I right, teacher?"

Jiang Cheng was surprised; when Ba Lv gets serious, she is quite sharp.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Cheng’s expression annoyed Ba Lv. She frowned and asked her teacher, "Teacher, what does that look on your face mean?"

Jiang Cheng didn’t expect his expression to cause trouble. He said in astonishment, "I was just a bit surprised."

Yanran covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

Only then did Jiang Cheng realize he had let something slip, but just like spilled water, words once spoken cannot be taken back.

Ba Lv was relentless. After pestering Jiang Cheng for a while, she continued speaking under Yanran’s mediation.

The teacher knows we go to the construction site every day to help those disaster victims, so when we didn’t return on time, the teacher would definitely go there to find us.

Through those disaster victims, the teacher would know what happened here, and given the teacher’s intelligence, he would immediately understand what’s going on and even guess who’s behind it.

Yanran gave Ba Lvluo a thumbs up, Ba Lv smiled, leaned gently on her shoulder, and closed her eyes comfortably, "Alright, that’s all I know, if I say more, the teacher is going to be stunned again."

She shot Jiang Cheng a dissatisfied look, "Teacher, am I that clueless in your mind?"

Jiang Cheng quickly shook his head in denial.

This female disciple of his is not a strong person, not even as strong as Yanran. Yanran may look gentle and weak, but she is extremely strong inside, sometimes even stubborn.

Ba Lv is different; she may seem cold on the outside, but her heart is unlike her exterior.

Just a few days ago, while training her Spiritual Power, Ba Lv, perhaps due to not understanding the training method correctly or because a skill she learned earlier conflicted with it, couldn’t advance to the second stage for a long time after breaking through the first stage of Spiritual Power.

Whereas Yanran, who started a bit earlier than her, had already broken through the third stage of Spiritual Power training and was on the verge of entering the fourth stage.

Her stagnation in Spiritual Power caused Ba Lv to feel very frustrated, and Jiang Cheng, being extremely perceptive, could hear Ba Lv’s sobs and Yanran’s low comforting voice from her room next door in the dead of night.

Through this event, Jiang Cheng realized that Ba Lv is far from what she appears outwardly. On the contrary, she is not only weak but also very sensitive. Fortunately, she has Yanran as her companion. Their personalities complement each other, and though only a short time has passed, their friendship has become very deep.

In terms of Ba Lv’s Spiritual Power training, Jiang Cheng had heard Yanran advise Ba Lv more than once, and during their free time, he also saw Yanran earnestly analyze with Ba Lv why she couldn’t break through the second stage of Spiritual Power training because her performance in the first stage seemed quite effortless.

And the difference between the first and second stages isn’t very large either.

Jiang Cheng doesn’t know how Ba Lv broke through the second stage of Spiritual Power, but he knows that Yanran’s help was significant.

Now, Ba Lv is leaning on Yanran’s shoulder, comfortably closing her eyes and drifting into a state of languor.

Yanran shifted a bit, trying hard to let Ba Lv be more comfortable, her fingers gently combing through Ba Lv’s golden long hair.

For a moment, the cabin fell silent.

"Teacher, later you went straight to find those Delmar Star experts, right?" Yanran finally broke the silence.

Jiang Cheng nodded, "Anyway, being idle is still being idle, so it’s nice to chat for a bit."

"Just like Ba Lv said, when the time came and you didn’t return, I knew something must have happened," Jiang Cheng said. "So, I went to the construction site to look for you, and then the disaster victims explained the situation to me anxiously."

Once Jiang Cheng learned what happened there, he immediately figured out it was a trap, and it was certain that the two experts from Delmar Star couldn’t be unrelated to the matter.

However, Jiang Cheng wasn’t too worried about his two disciples. He knew those Delmar experts did not dare to fatally harm them, largely because they feared him.

In the first battle, anyone with normal intelligence should have a deep impression of his power in combat.

Moreover, afterward, his unreasonable protection of his two female disciples opened the eyes of the experts on Delmar Star. Acting high and mighty in front of those experts, hitting them rashly regardless of rank, and handing out slaps left and right before they even think twice is what makes them consider the repercussions if they can’t eliminate us completely.

Jiang Cheng piloted the transport ship to the gunboat’s location, and in this time, he chatted with his disciples about the recently unfolded events.

Jiang Cheng learned from the disaster victims that Yanran and Ba Lv had a conflict with some unfamiliar people, and according to them, Yanran and Ba Lv had to use weapons to maintain an upper hand against these thugs.

Jiang Cheng immediately knew these thugs were not ordinary people; they must have come prepared.

Jiang Cheng, with his vast experience traveling across the universe for many years, combined with his keen insight, certainly knew the level of strength his two female disciples possessed.

He absolutely did not believe that a random group of people could force his disciples to use weapons to hold their ground.

If any random group could beat his disciples to the point where they couldn’t fight back, he as a teacher might as well find a piece of tofu and smash his head against it. What followed was a group appearing at just the perfect moment, right in the lull of the fight. It was too coincidental.

Then they fired a shot at one of the thugs and took both sides away; to Jiang Cheng, it seemed like a complete setup.

Everything before that was just acting; no matter how lifelike the play, Yanran and Ba Lv wouldn’t go with them unless it was realistic—a play is still a play, no matter how real it looks!

But the play put on for Yanran and Ba Lv was meticulously done. To make them believe, they even used real weapons and spilled blood.

But ironically, without doing so, they couldn’t deceive Yanran and them.

That group took both sides away, and where exactly they went, no one knew.

Jiang Cheng began searching for Yanran and Ba Lv. Although he didn’t know where they were now, he wasn’t the type to inquire all along the way.
