Full-Time Magister: I Have Avatars in All Realms

Chapter 3 A stroke of good luck

Chen Qing chuckled, not believing that Mu Ningxue had traveled all the way back from the capital just to tell him this.

"You've grown up, and become a bit colder too. I heard you're in Beijing now?"

Mu Ningxue frowned: "Don't talk to me like an adult looking at a child!"

Even the seasoned Chen Qing couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat at this scene of playful reproach.

It's not Fan's fault, anyone would have been unable to handle this!

Chen Qing took a deep breath: "The ancient capital and the imperial capital are not far apart. If anything happens, remember not to rush to handle it alone. Come find me."

Mu Ningxue was dissatisfied; wasn't this still treating her like a child?

"I'll handle my own affairs," she said coldly.

Chen Qing waved his hand: "Okay, okay, I just wanted to tell you not to keep everything bottled up inside. Keeping things inside for too long will cause problems."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Mu Ningxue's chest and couldn't help but sigh: She has indeed grown up.

Mu Ningxue didn't notice his little actions, and just grunted without saying anything more.

Immediately afterward, Zhang Xiaohou exclaimed, "I'm going to see who that is!"

Chen Qing couldn't help but complain, "Monkey, are you a broken record?"

"No, Brother Qing, look!"

Chen Qing looked over and saw someone arrive, both unexpected and yet perfectly logical: Mu Bai.

Chen Qing said helplessly, "One wave after another. I'm going to study, not to go to the battlefield. Why does it sound like we're about to be separated by life and death?"

Mu Bai hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

Chen Qing put his arm around his shoulder and said, "Of all the people here when we were kids, you were the most thoughtful, Brother Cha. But I'm still very grateful that you came to see me off. Thanks."

Mu Bai retorted stubbornly, "Who said I was coming to see you off? I just..."

"You just happened to be taking a walk and ended up at the station, right? I get it, I get it."

Chen Qing said, "Alright everyone, the train is about to leave, so I won't say any more. Once I've made a name for myself in this ancient capital, I'll return home in glory!"

"The journey through life is long, may we meet again someday."

With that, he waved goodbye to the group.

After he left, Mu Bai suddenly realized, "Wait a minute, who did he just call Brother Chazi?!"

Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou burst out laughing at his inexplicable reaction time, and at the same time thought: Although this green tea guy is a bit of a tea bitch, he's not a bad person, and he's quite interesting.

……

Chen Qing, who had just boarded the train, was somewhat bewildered as he looked at the girl sitting next to him.

"No, what are you doing here??" Chen Qing's brain instantly went blank.

Mu Ningxue held her head high, speaking with an air of self-righteousness and her tone remaining icy: "I'm also going back to the capital, this trip just happens to be on the way."

However, the faint blush on her neck betrayed the unease in her heart at that moment.

Chen Qing found it amusing: "What a coincidence!"

Mu Ningxue glared at him, annoyed: "Believe it or not!"

The train journey takes a total of ten hours, and there are protective barriers along the way.

Because of the long time, Mu Ningxue quickly became sleepy and gently leaned her small head on Chen Qing's shoulder.

Chen Qing didn't want to disturb her rare moment of peace, so he didn't move at all.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. After an unknown amount of time, the train suddenly stopped halfway through the journey, and an announcement began:

"We are entering the ancient capital's territory. Damage to the security barrier has been detected ahead. For safety reasons, the train is temporarily suspended..."

Mu Ningxue rubbed her eyes, then suddenly realized what was happening and immediately sat up straight, her face burning hot.

Chen Qing stretched a bit, her shoulders still a little sore, and teased, "What's wrong? Are you shy already? I used to sleep in your arms when I was little."

Mu Ningxue blushed and said, "I was tired from playing at the amusement park..."

"How dare you say that!" Mu Ningxue scolded angrily, "You lulled me to sleep and then immediately took me home, do you know we were having sex in private back then..."

Mu Ningxue suddenly stopped talking and began to sulk to herself.

Chen Qing looked at her and sighed, "I'll go check out the situation up ahead..."

Although they were both very young at the time, Mu Ningxue could be immature, but he couldn't.

Mu Ningxue was still angry, but she was worried and couldn't help but follow behind Chen Qing with a cold face.

Chen Qing arrived at the front of the train, where a team of guardian mages stood. This was the train's own guardian mage squad.

Chen Qing showed his beginner-level mage badge: "I'm a mage too, what happened?"

The captain of the mage guards frowned instinctively upon seeing their expressions, but still said, "The necropolis has changed course and is running right into the barrier. Although it's daytime, for safety's sake, it's best if the train doesn't pass through..."

Chen Qing frowned as well: "It's almost dusk. If the train is left here, and the spirits of the dead were to rise again, wouldn't that be even more dangerous!"

The captain sighed: "Our manpower is doing its best to repair the barrier. If it really doesn't work, we'll have to retreat to the nearest safe zone."

Chen Qing interrupted him: "The nearest border is at least several hundred kilometers away from here. This amount of time is simply not enough for us to evacuate."

Before coming to the ancient capital, Chen Qing made ample preparations, memorizing almost all the known terrain maps of the surrounding area.

Captain Wei hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Announce this over the loudspeaker: all mages, assemble in carriage seven! We have no time to waste. We must depart immediately once Anjie is basically repaired and reach the ancient capital before nightfall!"

"Yes!" the other Dharma Masters answered in unison.

Chen Qing was about to speak.

The captain looked at Chen Qing and the other girl: "You two little ones, don't worry about this. Go back to your own carriages. With us adults here, nothing will happen..."

Chen Qing: ...

That being said, buddy, don't plant your flag!

Chen Qing wanted to say something more, but the captain was determined not to let them get involved, so he had no choice but to take Mu Ningxue back the way they came.

During the journey, the train started moving again.

Mu Ningxue tugged at Chen Qing's sleeve, her eyes flashing with undisguised worry: "Has the ancient capital always been this dangerous?"

Chen Qing smiled at her: "Don't forget, I'm a light mage, the best counter to the undead of the ancient capital."

Mu Ningxue frowned, but her eyes still showed a heavy heart.

She looks so beautiful, even her furrowed brows are gorgeous.

Chen Qing couldn't help but sigh. This little girl he had watched grow up seemed to have really changed a lot.

They returned to their seats, the train activated its protective devices, the windows and doors were pulled down, and the entire train shimmered with a faint, bright yellow light. This was a large light array that could cover the entire carriage, making it the best tool for dealing with undead light-based attacks.

As dusk fell, as if a black curtain had been drawn over the sky, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

As the train arrived at the broken part of the barrier, it could be seen from afar that several skeletons were blocking the tracks, gnawing on something.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed, the skeleton raised its head, and the roar of the steel behemoth followed. Before it could react, the skeleton was sent flying backward.

What a stroke of luck!
