Chapter 378: Escape
She had heard Yun Chen talk about Lin Wan'er before. Ever since Yun Chen entered the secret realm of cultivation, this girl has always been by Yun Chen's side.
Chu He helped Yun Chen because of Lin Wan'er.
What is this girl looking for Yun Chen for?
"What do you want to see Yun Chen for?" Her voice was still sweet, but she quietly took half a step forward, and the cunning in her eyes turned into real curiosity.
"I don't know, but it should be... something important, right?"
Elder Lei frowned and thought about it, but ultimately did not reveal any more information.
Of course, he didn't know much more.
"Important matter?"
Zhao Xiruo tiptoed and glanced in the direction where Lin Wan'er was running away, but the moon-white skirt was nowhere to be seen.
She touched her chin thoughtfully, her eyes flickered twice, and suddenly turned to look at Elder Lei with a playful smile on her lips.
"Elder Lei, I just heard you say Yun Chen is in Panlei City?"
Elder Lei's heart skipped a beat, thinking something was wrong. He quickly waved his hand, "Don't try to join in the fun! Your cultivation is still shallow, and your master isn't around. If anything goes wrong, how am I going to explain it to the Sect Leader?"
"And that brat Yun Chen, if anything happens to you, won't he... fight me to the death?"
Elder Lei shook his head like a rattle, fearing that Zhao Xiruo would run down the mountain to find Yun Chen in a moment of impulse.
Zhao Xiruo pursed her rosy lips and looked at him with a smile: "Really?"
"No, no!" Elder Lei couldn't let her leave.
This is the treasure of the entire sect, more important than the Thunder Pattern Jade Box. How could we let her go down the mountain so easily?
Seeing this, Zhao Xiruo suddenly put away her smile, put her hands behind her back, tapped the ground with her toes, and said with a bit of grievance: "Okay, then I will wait for Yun Chen here. If he is kidnapped by someone else, I will go with him. Wherever he is, I will be there."
"Don't worry, he's a disciple of the Divine Thunder Palace and is very powerful. Even if the Sect Master takes action, he may not be able to capture him."
Elder Lei spoke helplessly to comfort him, but of course there was one thing he didn't say explicitly, which was... unless it didn't matter whether he lived or died.
Of course this is unlikely to happen.
A Yuanying master has the pride of a Yuanying master. It is impossible for him to bully the weak and attack a Jindan.
People like Gu Fengyang...are exceptions.
"I don't necessarily think he'll be captured...what if..."
Zhao Xiruo looked worried and stopped talking.
"What if?" Elder Lei looked at her curiously.
She thought for a moment and said, "What if someone invited me over... then..."
"No..." Elder Lei smiled and waved his hand when he heard that, but halfway through his words, his face suddenly froze and he turned to look at Zhao Xiruo.
"Are you saying that Lin Wan'er is trying to win over Yun Chen to go to Taixu Palace?"
He didn't realize it just now and just thought that Lin Wan'er was looking for Yun Chen for something urgent.
But after Zhao Xiruo's reminder, he reacted instantly.
After all, Taixu Palace had always wanted to win over Yun Chen. Murong Xue reported everything that happened after she came back, so as an elder, he naturally knew about it.
In addition, Lin Wan'er had not previously stated why she was looking for Yun Chen, which further increased the possibility of this happening.
If that's true... then wouldn't it be me who personally sent Yun Chen to Taixu Palace?
"Elder Lei, we must be on guard against this. If it's true that Yun Chen went to Taixu Palace, then I can't stay alone in Shenlei Palace. Naturally, I have to stay with him."
Elder Lei was so shocked by these words that he almost jumped up. He quickly took two steps forward and held Zhao Xiruo's shoulders. "What nonsense are you talking about! Yun Chen is from the Divine Thunder Palace. How could he possibly go to the Taixu Palace?"
Having said that, his heart was beating fast.
Taixu Palace’s intention to win over Yun Chen was obvious before, and Lin Wan’er’s hasty visit this time might really be with the intention of winning him over.
Zhao Xiruo lowered her eyes and spoke softly, "But what if? What if it's true...the loss to the Thunder Palace will be huge. How will you explain it to Master then?"
Elder Lei was upset by what she said. He paced back and forth for a few steps and then suddenly stopped: "No! We can't let this happen!"
He turned to look at Zhao Xiruo and said through gritted teeth, "Even though I say that, you still can't go."
Boss Lei said with a stern face: "I have my own arrangements for this matter. It is absolutely impossible for you to leave. Forget it."
As he spoke, he extended his hand and pushed Zhao Xiruo towards the mountain gate: "Hurry back and practice, and think carefully about your thunder method. Don't waste time here thinking about nonsense!"
Zhao Xiruo staggered two steps after being pushed, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes, but she did not argue anymore. She just lowered her head and replied in a low voice: "I understand."
Elder Lei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was "obedient". He gave her a few more words of advice to "practice well" and then turned to walk into the sect.
I was still thinking about it and wanted to send a message to Yun Chen to tell him in advance.
However, what he didn't notice was that as soon as Elder Lei's back disappeared around the corner of the mountain gate, Zhao Xiruo suddenly raised his head, and there was no trace of grievance and obedience in his eyes, but a cunning light.
She stuck out her tongue, patted the shoulder that Elder Lei had pressed, and a triumphant smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Trapped me on the mountain? Not so easy."
She glanced around, making sure there was no one around, and then, like a nimble cat, she quietly moved around to the steep slope on the side of the mountain gate.
There are lush vegetation and dense branches and leaves there, which is exactly the weak point of the Shenlei Palace's defense.
She raised her hand and condensed a faint wisp of thunder spiritual power. With a light stroke, she opened a path in the bushes. Then she jumped and slid down the steep slope quickly. Her movements were as light as a falling leaf.
Half an hour later, Zhao Xiruo appeared in the small town at the foot of Shenlei Mountain.
This place is not far from Panlei City, and it is where Yun Chen dealt with those outer disciples of the Divine Thunder Palace.
She asked for the direction of Panlei City, rented the fastest green-maned beast carriage at the carriage shop on the corner, and then drove to Panlei City.
At this time, Yun Chen didn't know that Lin Wan'er and Zhao Xiruo came to see him.
He had just come out of the Xuanfu in Panlei City.
He wanted to find Lin Wan'er to inquire about the Gu family's father and son, but after entering, the local master actually said that Chu He of Tianyuan Xuanfu didn't have any disciples at all...
Lin Wan'er had stayed in Tianyuan Xuanfu as a disciple of Chu He for safety reasons, so the other party naturally did not lie.
But Yun Chen didn't know about this. He thought the other party didn't want him to see Lin Wan'er.
"Do we really have to go to Bluestone City?"
Yun Chen frowned and muttered, then thought about it and shook his head to deny the idea.
Qingshi City is too far away, and it will take two days to go back and forth. By then, I will definitely not have time to practice and delay the qualifying competition. Lei Miaoyun, that woman, is not someone I can easily talk to.
Just then, a burst of hurried horse hooves sounds suddenly came.
Yun Chen suddenly raised his eyes, was stunned for the next moment, and then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
