Chapter 121 Rumors
Mu Qianqian left and took Mo Hong away from the breeding base. Li Qian was not worried at all about this.

Just as he said before, he believed in Mu Qianqian, and he believed even more in the mysterious world behind her.

In addition, Li Qian knew that the Senran Secret Realm was in Yunlan City. Although it was not far from Lingshui City, strictly speaking, she had no obligation to support Lingshui City. However, she did it, and not only did she do it, but she also did it with all her strength.

This is another reason why Li Qian believes in her.

A beastmaster who would go to great lengths and take risks to support a city that has nothing to do with him cannot be a person who goes back on his word.

As it turned out, his guess was not wrong.

The next day, Mu Qianqian came again and brought a Thousand Vine Monster.

What surprised Li Qian was that this Thousand Vine Monster had actually reached the ninth level of leadership. Combined with its potential, it could fully exert the combat power of an ordinary overlord-level pet.

Although he was surprised, Li Qian gladly accepted it.

After all, even if the Commander-level Thousand Vine Monster was exchanged for the Elite-level Frostfire Demon Salamander, strictly speaking, Mu Qianqian would still be the one who got the advantage.

From this perspective, both Mu Qianqian and the Mu family are open-minded people.

If I said that I had a "friendly conversation" with Mu Qianqian yesterday, that was just a polite remark. Today, I truly feel that the Mu family is worth making friends with.

"Our Mu family's Senran Secret Realm is in Yunlan City, and your Jiaoyang Cultivation Base is in Lingshui City. We are neighbors. In the future, our two families can visit each other more often and communicate and learn more." Mu Qianqian said before leaving.

After hearing this, Li Qian readily agreed. Maintaining friendly relations with a secret family that has been passed down for thousands of years is a beneficial thing for both Li Qian and the Jiaoyang Breeding Base.

After chatting for a while, Mu Qianqian left the training base. The next moment after she left the training base, her mother Han Yuying came over with a strange expression.

"He is a little old, but if you really like him, we as your parents can accept it." Mother Han Yuying walked to Li Qian's side and said in a complicated tone.

"What?" Li Qian was stunned for a moment when he heard this. After he reacted and understood what his mother Han Yuying was saying, a huge question mark instantly appeared on his forehead.

I am a little older, but it is not unacceptable!
Who are you talking about? Mu Qianqian?

Where did this rumor come from? Even including today, Mu Qianqian has only come here twice in total.

This is not the way to spread rumors without any factual basis!

Li Qian stared at his mother with wide eyes and denied it directly, "Mom, where did you hear this rumor? Do you know who she is?"

In order to stop this ridiculous rumor, he spoke directly and brought up Mu Qianqian's background. "It doesn't matter if I hear what you said, but if Mu Qianqian hears it, it might cause unnecessary misunderstandings. I have to tell you in advance that Mu Qianqian's identity and background are not simple. She is the heir of a thousand-year-old family. If you anger her, the consequences will be disastrous."

He continued, "Besides, at her age, she is more than qualified to be my elder sister or younger aunt. Even if I am desperate, I will never target her."

In order to comfort his mother, Li Qian finally added, "Don't worry about it. With your son's looks and talent, are you afraid that he won't be able to find a daughter-in-law?"

Upon hearing this, mother Han Yuying looked at Li Qian doubtfully.

Li Qian quickly handed over the beast-controlling ball that Mu Qianqian had sent. "Mom, this is the pet that our breeding base exchanged with Mu Qianqian's family. It's called 'Thousand Vine Monster', and its strength has reached the peak of leadership. Take it and place it in the botanical garden near Building No. 5."

Although it is called a botanical garden, the place is actually almost abandoned.

If Li Qian hadn't cleaned it up after taking over and kept the few walking grasses there, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was a weed nest. Mother Han Yuying took the beast-controlling ball, but the doubts in her eyes did not completely disappear. She walked towards Building No. 5, but she stopped after a few steps, "If you don't like this Mu Qianqian, you can consider your teacher, Chu Xiran, but if the teacher-student relationship gets out, it won't be a good reputation..."

When Li Qian heard this, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

His face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Who on earth spread these rumors? Why are each one more outrageous than the last?

For some reason, at this moment, Li Qian found that Tie Lao's slightly wretched face unconsciously emerged in his mind.

It can't be him...

The next day, Professor Yan had not arrived yet, but there was someone who, contrary to Li Qian's expectations, arrived early.

This person is none other than Niu Fenjin.

Li Qian originally thought that he came to the training base to make up for the last class, but as soon as this guy entered the base, he asked three questions in a row:
"What happened after you and Chu Xiran entered the unstable rift?"

"Why would she go in there with you?"

"Do you like Chu Xiran?"

His three questions left Li Qian completely confused.

What happened after Teacher Chu Xiran and I entered the unstable rift? Didn’t the latter already report it to the Public Security Bureau?

Also, shouldn't you know exactly what we are going to do in there?

"Wait, what was it? I like Teacher Chu Xiran..." He was a little confused by Niu Fenjin's three sudden questions. After he reacted, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Where did you hear such an outrageous rumor? Wait, it's not you, it's you guys..." Li Qian felt something was wrong, so he started to speculate, "Why do I feel like something unknown happened after Teacher Chu Xiran and I entered the unstable rift..."

At this point, Li Qian's eyes revealed a speculative look, and he looked Niu Fenjin up and down from time to time.

"Don't worry about what happened. Just tell me, do you like Chu Xiran?" Niu Fenjin was a little panicked by Li Qian's stare. He did not answer Li Qian's question, but asked directly.

Seeing Niu Fenjin's awkward look, Li Qian's expression turned playful. He laughed, "So what if I like it? So what if I don't like it? What does it have to do with you, Brother Niu? In other words, in what capacity are you asking me this question?"

"I..." Niu Fenjin hesitated after hearing this. He wanted to refute, but didn't know what to say.

"Haha..." Looking at Niu Fenjin's reaction, Li Qian laughed heartily, "You can't be so shy. I know Teacher Chu better. She doesn't like boys like this. Also, even if you don't say it, I can guess whether Tie Lao was making fun of me and Teacher Chu before!"

After seeing his words come out, Niu Fenjin's face became extremely wonderful and Li Qian's laughter became even more hearty.

"Don't think about it. It's impossible for Teacher Chu and I to do this. It's a pity that Mr. Tie could think of it, and it's even more pity that you came to ask..." After saying this, he patted Niu Fenjin on the shoulder and walked away.

Upon seeing this, Niu Fenjin's face turned red for a rare moment, and he was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say.
