Chapter 421 Elder Lei invites you
Fortunately, Yun Chen and Bai Qingluo passed through most of the palace area without any danger along the way.
The familiar architectural outline of Zixiao Garden finally appeared before our eyes.
The area around the guest house was still quiet, seemingly unaffected by the search outside.
Bai Qingluo stopped in the shadow of a rockery some distance from the guest house and whispered, "I'll take you here, and you can go back on your own. Remember, don't mention what happened tonight to anyone, including Ruoruo."
After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for Yun Chen to speak.
Yun Chen frowned and watched her disappearing back. He always felt that the timing of Bai Qingluo's appearance tonight was not that simple.
But he didn't think much about it. After watching Bai Qingluo leave, he stood there quietly for a moment. After making sure that no one was paying attention, he straightened his slightly messy clothes, pretended to have just returned from a walk outside, and walked calmly towards the guest house gate.
The two Divine Thunder Palace disciples guarding the door saw him and saluted respectfully: "Senior Brother Yun."
Yun Chen nodded slightly and asked casually, "Is everything okay in the courtyard? Did Ruoruo rest?"
A disciple replied, "Brother, everything is fine. Miss Ruoruo turned off the lights and went to bed an hour ago."
Yun Chen felt a little relieved and walked into the courtyard.
His room was adjacent to Ruoruo's. When he passed by Ruoruo's door, he stopped and listened for a moment. The breathing inside was steady and long, and he was indeed fast asleep.
Only after returning to his room, closing the door, and activating the room's built-in simple soundproofing system did Yun Chen finally breathe a sigh of relief.
His tense nerves relaxed, and the slight pain left from the palm-to-palm fight with Elder Xuanqing came back. He sat cross-legged on the couch, practicing his skills again, mobilizing his true energy to nourish and repair himself.
My mind couldn't help but recall what happened tonight.
"The Meteorite Ruins... the unusual movements in Japan, and that thing..."
Yun Chen muttered to himself, these words swirling in his mind: "And Second Senior Sister... She seems to be hiding a secret too."
He shook his head, temporarily suppressing these chaotic thoughts.
In any case, improving strength is the key.
He must get a good ranking in tomorrow's qualifying round. This is not only related to the honor of the sect, but also to the qualification to enter the Meteorite Ruins to compete for opportunities!
Only by becoming stronger can we cope with any storms that may arise in the future and protect the people we want to protect.
Thinking of this, Yun Chen's eyes became extremely firm. He calmed his mind completely and entered into a deep state of breathing regulation, making final preparations for the upcoming battle.
Outside the window, the moonlight gradually fades, and a faint light can be seen in the eastern sky.
Yun Chen slowly opened his eyes, with a gleam of light in his eyes and a harmonious and full aura around him. After a night of deep breathing exercises, not only did his injuries recover, but his condition was also adjusted to its peak.
He pushed open the door and saw Ruoruo from next door coming out.
"Joruo!"
"Yun Chen, are you awake?"
Zhao Xiruo changed into a neat outfit today, which made her look even more charming and lovely. When she saw Yun Chen, she immediately ran over with a smile and naturally took his arm.
At this moment, the doors of the two quiet rooms next to it opened almost at the same time.
The people who came out were Liu Yanran and Shen Nan.
Liu Yanran was dressed in red, looking bright and gorgeous, while Shen Nan was dressed in green, with a calm temperament.
"Junior Brother, Junior Sister Ruoruo, are you guys up too?"
Liu Yanran greeted with a smile, her eyes lingering for a moment on Yun Chen and Ruoruo's linked arms, with a hint of mischief.
Shen Nan nodded to Yun Chen as a greeting.
"Senior Sister Liu, Senior Brother Shen." Yun Chen and Ruoruo responded with a smile.
Liu Yanran waved her hand and said seriously, "It just so happens that you are all awake. I just received a message from Elder Lei asking us to go to him immediately. It seems that he has something important to tell us."
Yun Chen's heart moved slightly, and he nodded and said, "Okay, we'll go there now."
He paused and looked towards Bai Qingluo's quiet room: "I'll go call Second Senior Sister."
As he spoke, he walked to the door of Bai Qingluo's quiet room and knocked gently.
However, after waiting for a while, there was no response from inside.
Yun Chen frowned slightly and knocked again with greater force, but there was still silence.
Liu Yanran walked over, probed with her spiritual sense, and shook her head, saying, "No need to knock, there's no one inside. I noticed it when I came out just now. Second Senior Sister is not in the quiet room."
not there?
Yun Chen's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that Second Senior Sister didn’t come back all night?
Or did she come back but go out for something else?
Thinking of her mysterious appearance last night and those unsolved secrets, Yun Chen couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.
"Second Senior Sister may have her own matters to deal with."
Shen Nan said, "Elder Lei has summoned us. It must be an urgent matter. Let's go there first. I will send a message to inform Second Senior Sister later."
Everyone thought it made sense, so they didn't delay any longer. The four of them left the guest house and headed towards Elder Lei's temporary residence in Taixu Palace.
Elder Lei's residence is located in a quiet corner of the guest house area.
When Yun Chen and his three companions walked into the courtyard, they discovered that in addition to Elder Lei sitting in the main seat in the hall, there was also an old man with a stern expression sitting below him. It was none other than Elder Xuanqing who had chased Yun Chen last night!
Yun Chen's heart suddenly tightened, but he remained expressionless. He bowed respectfully with the others, "Greetings, Elder Lei."
Lei Tong nodded, his eyes swept over the four people, and he paused slightly on Yun Chen in particular. He seemed to notice that his aura was more condensed than yesterday, and a hint of imperceptible satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
He said in a deep voice, "Since you are all here, please sit down. Elder Xuanqing has something to tell you."
Elder Xuanqing's face did not look good, with a hint of fatigue and solemnity between his brows. It was obvious that last night's search had consumed a lot of his energy.
He swept his sharp eyes over Yun Chen and the other three, especially lingering on Yun Chen's unfamiliar face for a moment.
However, he obviously did not connect the direct disciple of the Divine Thunder Palace in front of him with the young man with strange movements and unfamiliar skills last night.
After all, Yun Chen's aura was calm at the moment, completely different from the domineering dragon might last night. Moreover, the thunder method of the Divine Thunder Palace was orthodox and powerful, and it did not match that unfamiliar technique.
"Are you the genius who received the Nine Thunders Initiation?"
Elder Xuanqing spoke, his voice was light, but it revealed an indescribable majesty.
Hearing this, Yun Chen's mouth twitched involuntarily, and he smiled bitterly, "I don't dare to call myself a genius, I'm just unlucky."
Can you become a genius after receiving the Nine Thunders Initiation?
Whoever wants to be the genius can be the genius. At that time, he was almost killed by lightning.
Elder Xuanqing was stunned when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Our cultivation is all against the will of heaven. The more severe the heavenly punishment, the higher the talent. Don't you know what's good for you, kid?"
Yun Chen touched his nose awkwardly, secretly complaining in his heart.
Speaking of talent, isn't Ruoruo's talent higher?
Why is the gap so big?
When other people break through, they are protected by the Seven-Colored Divine Lotus, but why am I struck by lightning?
