Lin Xiang had yet to realize the problem. Seeing Wang Xiao suddenly stop halfway, he could not help but reveal an urgent expression. “Mr. Wang, what accident did you encounter? Tell me!”
Wang Xiao ignored Lin Xiang. He looked around and realized that Chen Xue had indeed not returned. He hurriedly asked Zhou Xiruo, “Isn’t Teacher Chen with you? What was the situation when you left?”
“I don’t know…”
Zhou Xiruo shook her head in confusion. “After you left, Liu Wenbo said that if we left at the same time, the energy fluctuation would be too great and it would attract the mystic realm creatures. Therefore, he asked us to wait for ten seconds. When the time was up, Teacher Chen asked me to come out first.”
Wang Xiao’s heart sank when he heard this. He knew that Liu Wenbo was right, but several tens of seconds had passed since Zhou Xiruo withdrew. Why was Chen Xue still not out?
Lin Xiang did not know what the two of them were talking about, but he could tell that something was wrong. He hurriedly pulled Wang Xiao and asked, “Mr. Wang, who is Liu Wenbo you’re talking about? Did you encounter others inside?”
Wang Xiao was wondering if Chen Xue and the others had encountered something and was really in no mood to pay attention to Lin Xiang. However, he could not resist the other party’s constant questions. In the end, he said impatiently, “Liu Wenbo is a member of the Blue Planet military exploration team. We met him inside!”
“The Blue Planet’s military?!”
Lin Xiang’s face turned pale. He reacted and hurriedly called out to the cloaked man beside him, “Don’t just stand there! Hurry up and close the teleportation door!”
“Oh! Okay!”
The cloaked man agreed and was about to take action when a figure suddenly blocked in front of him.
“You can’t turn it off!”
Wang Xiao stopped the cloaked man, but his eyes were looking in Lin Xiang’s direction. “I want to go in again!”
“Are you crazy?
Lin Xiang’s expression changed. “Do you know what will happen if the military finds out about this?!”
Wang Xiao thought to himself that the military had long known about this, but he had promised Chen Xue to keep it a secret, so he only said seriously, “I can ignore others, but my teacher is still inside. I have to go in!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xiao turned around and rushed into the teleportation door, but he was stopped by a beautiful figure.
“Wang Xiao! Don’t be rash!”
Zhou Xiruo stopped Wang Xiao and advised in a low voice, “You’ve already used the excuse of the teleportation door malfunction just now. If Liu Wenbo and the others bump into you again after entering this time, how are you going to explain it?!”
“I don’t know, but I have to go in!”
Wang Xiao said seriously with a serious expression, “I’ve seen the mutated beast that fought Liu Wenbo and the others. At that time, it fell into a deep pit because of the collapse of the ground. If it makes a comeback again, Liu Wenbo and the others are definitely not its match!”
“If they’re not its match, are you?!”
Zhou Xiruo hugged Wang Xiao and said in a sobbing voice, “I know you want to save Teacher Chen, but haven’t you thought about your own safety?!”
“I’ve thought about it, but so what?”
Wang Xiao gently patted Zhou Xiruo’s back. “Chen Xue is my teacher. She’s also the only person who’s willing to help me when everyone looked down on me… How can I leave my mentor in the lurch?”
“You…”
Zhou Xiruo looked up at Wang Xiao and wanted to persuade him again, but she could not say a word. A moment later, she raised her hand and wiped her tears.
“I’ll go with you.”
Hearing this, Wang Xiao’s first reaction was to refuse. However, when he saw Zhou Xiruo’s firm gaze, he finally nodded. “Alright!”
Lin Xiang originally thought that Zhou Xiruo would be able to persuade Wang Xiao. When he saw this outcome, he immediately could not remain calm. He hurriedly took three steps forward and blocked the teleportation door. “You can’t go!” Wang Xiao’s expression darkened. “Manager Lin, please move aside!”
“I won’t let you!”
Lin Xiang braced himself and said, “It’s not the first time the military has done this kind of exploration. Teacher Chen is also quite experienced. Just wait here in peace. They’ll definitely be fine! ”
Without waiting for Wang Xiao to speak, Lin Xiang continued, “Moreover, the precision of this teleportation door is insufficient. Even if you enter, there’s a high chance that it won’t be the same secret realm as before. If you encounter danger, how do you expect me to answer to Teacher Chen when she returns?”
“Insufficient precision?”
When Wang Xiao heard this, his heart skipped a beat. “Has our locator been successfully installed?”
“Well…
Lin Xiang didn’t seem to want to answer, but his reaction already explained everything.
Wang Xiao’s eyes lit up. “Manager Lin! Lock onto the coordinates of the secret realm immediately. I want to enter again! ”
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Xiao suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Lin Xiang’s collar. “Manager Lin, I’m not having a discussion with you now. If you continue to refuse, I’ll drag you into this teleportation door!”
Lin Xiang chuckled and did not take it seriously. However, when he saw that Wang Xiao’s gaze did not seem to be joking, the smile on his face slowly disappeared.
“Gulp!”
Lin Xiang couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and carefully probed,
“Mr. Wang, if I don’t…”
Just as he said “don’t”, Wang Xiao suddenly exerted strength in his hand and actually pushed Lin Xiang into the teleportation door!
“Hey! Don’t, don’t, don’t!”
Lin Xiang panicked and hurriedly grabbed Wang Xiao’s hand and shouted, “Mr. Wang! I agree! I’ll prepare a teleportation door for you now, alright?!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xiao also stopped. Lin Xiang turned around and saw that he was less than half a step away from the teleportation door. If his reaction was half a second slower, he would probably have been pushed in just now!
However, Wang Xiao did not seem to care. He let go of Lin Xiang and said coldly, “Hurry up and prepare. My patience is limited!”
“Alright!”
Lin Xiang glared at Wang Xiao and gritted his teeth as he said coldly, “Mr.
Wang, I treat you as a friend, but you treat me like this. I’ll remember this debt. We’ll settle it when we have the chance in the future!”
With that said, Lin Xiang left with the cloaked man, probably to make some preparations.
Zhou Xiruo arrived beside Wang Xiao and asked softly in a worried tone, “Wang Xiao, were you a little rash just now? If you offend the Lord’s Shop because of this, the consequences will be unimaginable!”
“I did this because I didn’t want to offend the Lord’s Shop.”
Wang Xiao frowned and said softly, “It’s impossible to hide Teacher Chen’s identity forever. When her identity is announced in the future and the Lord’s Sh0D remembers what haDDened todav. what do vou think thev will think?” Zhou Xiruo was not stupid. After thinking for a moment, she reacted. As long as they could save Chen Xue, this was a good opportunity for them and the Lord’s Shop to get closer to Chen Jinrong!
However, if they knew that something was wrong and did not do anything, the consequences would be unimaginable if Chen Jinrong found out in the future!
“You’re indeed smart!”
Zhou Xiruo patted Wang Xiao and praised, “You can still think of such a method in such an emergency. If Chen Jinrong owes you a debt, it’ll be much more convenient to settle the score with him!”
“I hadn’t thought about that.”
Wang Xiao looked at the multicolored teleportation door. Only then did Zhou Xiruo realize that the worry in his eyes had never disappeared. He had only wanted to save her from the beginning..
