Christmas took the entry handbook out of his pocket and asked seriously, "What does this sentence 'Left and right sound the celestial drum, heard at twenty-four degrees' mean?"
Lin Beichen sighed helplessly, "You two stopped me just because of this?"
He explained, "There's a translation at the back of the handbook, you can just follow the translation for cultivation. As for these technical terms like 'celestial drum' and 'heard degrees,' you can look them up online yourselves."
Barney and Christmas exchanged a smile and expressed their gratitude.
They stepped aside and bid farewell to Lin Beichen and the others.
"Wish you a safe journey," Christmas said, "I won't see you off, I also need to start my cultivation quickly."
Lin Beichen patted Christmas on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "Your hat looks nice, but don't forget to visit home occasionally."
With that, he led his team away.
Everyone on Vilana Island watched them leave.
The islanders, from then on, had a new faith and began to focus on practicing Huaxia Daoist Skill.
After a long journey, Lin Beichen and his companions finally returned to Huaxia.
They first went to the Shen City Garrison District to send Long Chuzhi back.
By this time, people from the garrison district had been waiting at the tarmac for a long while.
Someone with sharp eyes spotted the plane in the distance and shouted excitedly, "Look, is that Lin Beichen's plane?"
Leng Feng, with his sharp gaze, fixed his eyes on the small plane gradually approaching the garrison district and shouted excitedly, "Look there, Lin Beichen and the others are back!"
Previously, Lin Beichen and the others had sent a photo of the plane, otherwise unrecognized aircraft would not be able to enter the Shen City Garrison District's airspace.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked up in the direction pointed by Leng Feng and confirmed that it was indeed the plane shown in the photo sent by Lin Beichen and the others earlier.
With Long Chu's safe return after being missing for so long, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showing joyful smiles.
The plane landed slowly, and the powerful airflow stirred up a gust of wind.
After taxiing some distance, the plane came to a steady stop. The cabin door slowly opened, and people inside began to disembark one after another.
"Look! It's the captain and the others!"
Ma Hong of the Wolf King Special Team, with sharp eyes, was the first to recognize the people coming out, and shouted excitedly.
The members of the Wolf King Special Team couldn't wait to rush forward, all expressing their concern for the captain.
"Captain, you finally returned, we've been so worried!"
"Those bastards dared to ambush us and even kidnapped you, it's really too despicable!" "Captain, are you okay?"
Looking at the concerned eyes of his team members, Long Chuzhi felt a warm surge in his heart, and his eyes were slightly moist.
"I'm alright, there's no need to worry." He spoke slowly, then turned to Lin Beichen and the others, "I really have to thank Lin Beichen and the others for rescuing me this time."
The members of the Wolf King Special Team were filled with gratitude towards Lin Beichen and the others.
"Lin Beichen, we're really grateful to you all this time. If you need anything in the future, feel free to reach out!" Leng Feng, on behalf of the Wolf King Special Team, expressed heartfelt gratitude to Lin Beichen and the others.
Lin Beichen smiled faintly and nodded.
He didn't really need their help, but since they were so eager, he agreed.
"Hey, hey, hey, why are you only thanking Lin Beichen? We also contributed!" Wild Ox complained unhappily.
He liked to see that arrogant guy Han Zuan showing rare humility towards Lin Beichen, which made him want to experience the joy of being appreciated too.
The members of the Wolf King Special Team realized and quickly added, "Of course, of course, we also thank the other members of the Venomous Snake Special Team. If you need anything in the future, just look for us."
Seeing the sincere attitude of the Wolf King Special Team members, Wild Ox smiled with satisfaction.
The other members of the Venomous Snake Special Team shook their heads helplessly, knowing that Wild Ox always liked to fuss over such small matters.
At this time, several leaders from the Shen City Garrison District also walked over.
"Captain Xia, we owe you a great deal this time. On behalf of the Shen City Garrison District, I express our gratitude." Commander Chen Zhongjun said solemnly.
The members of the Venomous Snake Special Team immediately saluted Commander Chen.
"Commander Chen, this is our duty. You're too kind." Xia Luyao represented the Venomous Snake Special Team in response.
Commander Chen nodded and shifted his gaze to Lin Beichen next to him.
"Are you Lin Beichen?" he asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, Commander Chen. I am Lin Beichen." Lin Beichen replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Commander Chen scrutinized Lin Beichen carefully.
He had heard of this young man's name before, even the entire Northern Military Region had heard of him.
Lin Beichen's legendary experiences made him full of anticipation for this young man.
"Lin Beichen, are you interested in developing in our Shen City Garrison District?" he asked directly.
Lin Beichen was momentarily speechless, smiling bitterly in his heart.
This Commander Chen was really too direct, actually trying to poach him right in front of their captain and team members.
"Commander Chen, you're so direct in poaching, our captain is right here, it's a bit embarrassing for me." Lin Beichen used a half-joking manner to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Commander Chen glanced at Xia Luyao and said with a smile, "Captain Xia, if Lin Beichen finds any grievances with you, he can come to our Shen City Garrison District anytime."
Flame couldn't help but interject, "Commander Chen, you've got it wrong. If the captain really makes a move on Lin Beichen, it's just small couple fights, Lin Beichen wouldn't leave home over it."
Commander Chen was taken aback, his gaze moving between Lin Beichen and Xia Luyao, and asked in shock, "You two are…?"
Lin Beichen hurriedly waved his hand to explain, "It's not like that, Commander Chen, you misunderstand…"
However, Commander Chen interrupted, assuming a knowing look and said, "Ah, it's okay, I understand. Lin Beichen, you're really lucky to win over a famous beauty of our Northern Military Region."
Then he turned to Xia Luyao teasingly, "Captain Xia, your Yanjing City Garrison District really has talents, I can't poach him."
Originally planning to poach, Commander Chen had no choice but to give up.
He initially thought he had a chance to bring this talented young man to the Shen City Garrison District, but now it seemed, he was with Captain Xia, how could he poach him?
Faced with Commander Chen's misunderstanding, Lin Beichen and Xia Luyao exchanged bitter smiles.
They knew that no matter how they tried to explain now, Commander Chen would not believe it.
Xia Luyao tried to explain again: "Commander Chen, you really misunderstood…"
But Commander Chen interrupted with a laugh, "Captain Xia, I understand, young people in love, afraid parents might over-care. Don't worry, I won't disturb Commander Xia."
Seeing Commander Chen with an "I understand everything" expression, Lin Beichen and Xia Luyao could only sigh helplessly.
They knew that any further explanation would be futile now.
Finally, Xia Luyao decided to end the topic, "Alright, now that Long Chuzhi has been safely delivered, we should return to Yanjing City."
Commander Chen did not insist, smilingly said, "In that case, I won't keep you. Old Fu and the others are probably waiting for you too, welcome to visit the Shen City Garrison District anytime."
Then, Lin Beichen, Xia Luyao, and the others boarded a plane back to the Yanjing City Garrison District.
Upon arrival, the soldiers at the tarmac informed them that Commander Fu was waiting for them in the office.
Xia Luyao handed the plane keys to the soldier, and then headed to the administrative building with Lin Beichen and the others.
On the way, Lin Beichen and Xia Luyao were both smiling wryly.
They knew that apart from successfully rescuing Long Chuzhi, this trip to Shen City had also "gained" them a huge misunderstanding.
"Report!"
The seven of them marched uniformly to the door of Commander Fu's office, simultaneously announcing their presence.
Commander Fu, Chief of Staff Deng, and several other senior leaders from the Yanjing City Garrison District were already waiting there.
