Elf: I, the Lord of Ghosts, lead the Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts

The Colorful Sword Sheath had no objection to Xia Chan's decision to keep the top-grade Dark Stone for safekeeping.

Although it and the summer cicada did not hit it off at first sight, after getting along with each other, they have almost reached the point of life and death, and it believes that the summer cicada will not change its mind.

After reaching a consensus, Xia Chan placed the top-grade dark stone into the mustard seed space for safekeeping.

Afterwards, he and the elves rested in the room for a while. When he was full of energy, he put the elves back into the Poké Balls, left the room with the small-sized Poké Balls containing the elves, and went to the deck to watch the night sea view for a while.

Compared with the sea view during the day, the sea view at night has a different scenery, but the sea breeze is a little cold. Xia Chan didn’t stay on the deck for long before arriving at the battle area in Jintian No. 1.

Although it is late now, the battle area is still brightly lit and quite lively, with many trainers fighting in it.

Xia Chan looked around and didn't find any opponent he was interested in, so he returned to his room.

When Xia Chan returned to the room again, there were less than three hours left before Jintian No. 1 arrived at Jincheng Port. During this time, he did not leave the room, but stayed quietly in the room, waiting for the ferry to arrive.

"Dear passengers, please note that this flight is expected to arrive at its final destination, Jincheng, in ten minutes. Please prepare for landing in advance!"

"Attention, passengers..."

"..."

More than two hours later, the announcement of the imminent arrival at the port continued to sound, echoing in every corner of the ferry.

Xia Chan, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed to rest, opened his eyes when he heard the sound, sat up, quickly packed his backpack and walked out of the room.

At this moment, the sky outside was already glowing.

Under the early morning light, summer cicadas lined up to get off the Jintian No. 1 ferry, and took the familiar means of transportation back home without the need for navigation.

When the summer cicadas returned home, the sky had just brightened.

The three days of the holiday have passed, and today is his school day, so Xia Chan did not stay for long after returning home. After a simple packing, he packed the necessary items for school, left home with a backpack, and headed for Jincheng Chengmen College.

On the way to the academy, he called Uncle Wang and his "future aunt" Teacher An Zhi respectively to inform them that he had returned safely. He also sent spiritual messages to his friends such as Lin Qing and Ling Shu to inform them that he had returned to Jincheng.

Jincheng Town Gate College is located in the coastal area with a small population, so there is basically no traffic jam. Xia Chan, who took the magnetic bus, arrived at the college and entered the class before the first class started as he wished.

"Long time no see, Brother Chan!"

Ling Shu, who had just finished morning self-study, immediately stood up from his seat when he saw Xia Chan and greeted her enthusiastically.

"It's not that long, just three days!" Xia Chan walked towards Ling Shu and replied with a smile.

"A day without seeing you feels like three autumns. The three days we haven't seen is like nine autumns. Isn't that a long time?" Hearing this, Ling Shu smiled at Xia Chan who was gradually approaching.

"It's been a long time indeed." Xia Chan nodded in response, walked to Ling Shu's side and patted his shoulder gently.

"Has anything major happened in the academy recently?"

Then, they both sat down at the same time, and Xia Chan turned to Ling Shu and asked.

Three days is neither long nor short. During this period, many things can happen. He has been in a different space for these days, with no news and no knowledge.

"Nothing big happened in the college, but something not too big happened in Jincheng." Ling Shu said without thinking.

"Oh? Tell me about it." Xia Chan became interested as soon as he heard it and spoke.

"Brother Chan, did you know that a group of thieves stole a Pokémon egg from the Magic City Cultivation Center more than a month ago?"

Ling Shu did not directly explain what happened, but asked Xia Chan.
