Ming rushed over in a flurry: "Has she fallen for that pretty boy again?!"

"Get out of my way, I don't want to talk right now." Huai'an pushed the person away and went off to sulk.

With his eyes closed, the surrounding environment shrank in his mind, then transformed into a picture of the entire Milky Way galaxy. The picture gradually magnified until he saw the array diagram beneath the feet of the two people.

"Damn it, Huai'an, you son of a bitch, don't you even bother to check the teaching materials when you're raising a child?!" Ming shouted at Huai'an's back.

A sudden inspiration struck him, and he laughed again.

Two tiny beams of light simultaneously entered their bodies, but neither of them noticed.

——Iron Dimension——

A minute later, the freezing spell automatically dissipated, and Jiu Wu collapsed onto the beach covered with intricate array patterns, hugging the boxes with utter despair.

The retro and strange patterns under his feet told him that everything he had just seen was real.

But he really couldn't understand why. What was Xia Xiang playing at? And that day, was it really as Xia Xiang said, that Huai'an abandoned the mission on his own?

The Swift Walker appeared silently beside Jiu Wu, squatted down, and patted Jiu Wu's shoulder reassuringly.

He arrived after receiving a telepathic message from Xia Xiang, only to find his foolish disciple sitting on the ground in a daze.

"Master," Jiu Wu called out to Shen Xingzhe.

"Let's go, Master will take you back," the Swift Walker said affectionately, patting Jiu Wu's head.

His apprentice has been through so much lately: the Iron Dimension almost disappeared, his father was gone, his girlfriend broke up with him, and he still has a ton of work to do.

Thinking of this, the Swift Walker patted Jiu Wu's head with even more affection.

"Master, please help me move these things back," Jiu Wu said sadly. "If the little fat boy regrets it and doesn't get them back, he'll make a scene."

Although Xia Xiang is willful and loves to act silly, she is serious to the point of being obsessive when it comes to relationships. She wouldn't say something like "just playing around" unless there were some external reason forcing her to break up with him.

The Wanderer: His apprentice is such a love-struck fool. Even though she broke up with him, he's still thinking about the future.
