Chapter 422 Going to the Venue
"Cough, cough, cough!"
At this time, Elder Lei on the side changed the subject in due time: "Old Xuanqing, are you done yet? Yun Chen is now a disciple of our Divine Thunder Palace. You Taixu Palace people should stop thinking about him."
Elder Xuanqing's face froze slightly, he snorted coldly, and said no more.
"Okay, let's get back to the topic. I called you here because Elder Xuanqing has something to tell you."
Elder Lei glanced at Yun Chen and others, then turned to look at Elder Xuanqing.
Elder Xuanqing nodded, then looked at the others and said in a low voice, "Something happened in the palace last night. An unidentified person sneaked in and fought with me before being rescued by someone else."
As soon as he said this, Liu Yanran, Shen Nan and Zhao Xiruo all looked surprised.
Yun Chen was filled with awe and showed a surprised expression on his face.
Elder Xuanqing continued, "Of those two, one is in the late Jindan stage, with strange movements and ancient and overbearing spiritual power attributes, not inherited from any righteous path I'm aware of. The other is in the Yuanying stage, with extremely advanced concealment skills, skilled in formations and talismans, and his cultivation methods are also strange and unpredictable."
He paused, his tone becoming extremely serious: "Based on the methods and skills they displayed, I suspect... they may be spies sent from Japan!"
"Japanese spy?"
Liu Yanran exclaimed, Shen Nan frowned, and Zhao Xiruo's little face was also full of tension.
Yun Chen's mind was full of thoughts.
As expected, Elder Xuanqing turned his suspicion towards Japan, which temporarily cleared him and Second Senior Sister of suspicion.
Elder Xuanqing looked at Lei Tong and said in a deep voice, "Brother Lei, the Japanese villains are still determined to destroy us. They must have some ulterior motive when they sneaked into Taixu Palace this time. During the qualifying round, all sects must work together and strengthen vigilance. If you find anything suspicious, please inform me immediately."
Elder Lei Tong spoke at the right moment, his voice loud and steady: "Brother Xuanqing has informed the leaders of each sect of this matter. During the qualifying rounds, Taixu Palace will further strengthen its vigilance, and disciples of each sect must also be vigilant and report any suspicious people or things immediately."
He looked at Yun Chen and the other three with a sharp gaze: "You guys are my Divine Thunder Palace's reliance this time. During the competition, you must not only strive for victory, but also keep your eyes and ears open and avoid being ambushed."
"Yes, Elder!" the four responded in unison.
"By the way, where is Qingluo? Where did she go?" Elder Lei suddenly frowned and asked.
Liu Yanran hurriedly stepped forward. Just as she was about to speak, Yun Chen stopped her.
"Second Senior Sister is practicing in the quiet room and is gaining some insights, so she didn't come." Yun Chen said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Elder Lei didn't say anything after hearing this, and nodded: "If that's the case, then forget it. The qualifying round is about to begin, so you should hurry up and prepare. Don't delay."
"Yes!" The four of them answered in unison, bowed again, and left Elder Lei's residence.
As soon as they left the house, Liu Yanran looked at Yun Chen and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Little Junior Brother, what's wrong with you? Second Senior Sister is clearly not in the quiet room..."
Yun Chen glanced at her and explained helplessly, "You're stupid. Elder Xuanqing just said that a thief broke in last night, and then Second Senior Sister suddenly disappeared. If you tell the truth, wouldn't that make them suspect Second Senior Sister for no reason?"
"Who are you calling stupid?"
When Liu Yanran heard this, her eyebrows immediately raised and she looked ferocious.
Yun Chen quickly waved his hands: "I was wrong, Senior Sister Liu."
"Hmph!" Liu Yanran snorted coldly. She didn't argue with him, but frowned and said, "According to what you said, could it be that Second Senior Sister discovered the thief last night and went after him?"
"Ah? Wouldn't Second Senior Sister be in danger?" Zhao Xiruo suddenly became worried.
Shen Nan said: "Second Senior Sister will be fine. Unless someone in the Spiritual Transformation Stage takes action, even Master can't kill her."
Yun Chen: ? ?
Is Second Senior Sister so awesome?
"But what you said does make sense. It's just that Elder Lei would never doubt Second Senior Sister." Liu Yanran shook her head.
Yun Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "What do you mean?"
"When Second Senior Sister was very young, her family was killed by the Japanese. She was later rescued by our master and grew up in the Divine Thunder Palace. The Divine Thunder Palace is her home, and she would never betray anyone who betrayed the Divine Thunder Palace." Shen Nan explained on the side.
Yun Chen was shocked when he heard this.
He didn't expect that his second senior sister Bai Qingluo had such a tragic life experience.
Her entire family was killed by the Japanese... No wonder she hated the Japanese so much, and no wonder she said those words yesterday.
"So that's how it is..." Yun Chen whispered to himself, feeling a little more understanding and respect for Bai Qingluo.
That coldness and occasional sharpness may be the mark left by past pain.
"so!"
Liu Yanran patted Yun Chen's shoulder and said, "Second Senior Sister is absolutely reliable. She disappeared last night, so there must be something extremely important going on. Perhaps it's related to tracking down those scoundrels who infiltrated. We just need to trust her and do our own thing."
Shen Nan also nodded and said, "That's right. The most urgent thing is the qualifying competition. She will handle the matter of the second senior sister herself."
Although Zhao Xiruo was still a little worried, she nodded vigorously: "Yes! We must trust Senior Sister Bai!"
Yun Chen took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed his doubts about Bai Qingluo.
Just then, a beautiful figure ran towards them from afar.
"Brother Yun!"
The call was crisp and pleasant, instantly attracting the attention of Yun Chen and the other three.
Lin Wan'er was seen running towards me quickly, holding up the hem of her skirt. Her cheeks were slightly flushed from running, beads of sweat were oozing from her forehead, and her breathing was a little rapid.
Today she was still wearing the simple and elegant attire of the Saint of Taixu Palace, but her expression lacked her usual gentleness and charm, and instead had a touch of obvious coldness and self-restraint.
"So you're here! I've been looking for you for ages!"
Lin Wan'er ran closer, breathing slightly, with fine beads of sweat hanging on her smooth forehead.
She stopped, patted her chest, and a slightly apologetic smile appeared on her face. Her cold eyebrows softened a little because of the smile.
"The qualifying round is about to begin. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to find me, so I went to Zixiao Garden to look for you. I didn't expect that you weren't there, but here."
Yun Chen nodded and explained, "Elder Lei asked us to take some precautions... so we came here."
"It's okay, there's still time."
Lin Wan'er smiled faintly and stepped aside to lead the way. "Everyone, please follow me. The qualifying competition venue is in the main square ahead. Disciples from all sects have already gathered, and it's the busiest time of the day."
"Thank you very much, Miss Lin." Yun Chen nodded slightly in response.
Hearing the name "Miss Lin", Lin Wan'er was startled. She turned around and said with a smile, "Brother Lin, don't be so formal. Just call me Wan'er."
"It's just a name, it's not important." Yun Chen glanced at Zhao Xiruo out of the corner of his eye and found that she looked normal, and he felt slightly relieved.
This daughter-in-law is too jealous, he should be more careful.
Lin Wan'er felt a little disappointed when she heard this, but she quickly recovered.
"Brother Yun, you can call me whatever you like."
Having said that, she stopped talking and turned to lead the way.
