Chapter 176 The Old Unlucky Man
Chapter 176: Old Unlucky Egg
Chen Runyu found it difficult to accept that she would be trapped in the Mirage Secret Realm for two years, even if she would gain powerful strength after those two years. However, she strongly resisted this power, feeling that it originally belonged to Zhang Chi and she had taken away his opportunity.
In addition, she was now in a difficult situation and couldn't resist. The more she couldn't resist, the more she resisted internally.
"Since we can't do anything, can't we just let her wake up?"
"Are you sure? If she wakes up, do you want to tell her the truth? What if she starts a fight with you?"
Long Zhu's response did make some sense, but after careful consideration, Chen Runyu insisted, "I want her to wake up."
Fear of consequences is a subconscious reaction for everyone, but at this moment, Chen Runyu thought of Zhang Chi.
What would Senior Brother do in this situation?
With this thought, Chen Runyu already had an answer.
Tang Ruoling was purely a victim of an innocent disaster, and she herself was at fault initially. How could she make another mistake?
Since things had come to this point, she could only let Tang Ruoling wake up and then explain the truth to her.
Coincidentally, Zhang Chi had also encountered the same situation as her, but...
Chen Runyu had indeed idealized Zhang Chi too much.
Seeing Chen Runyu's persistence, the spirit of Long Zhu could only teach her the method to wake up Tang Ruoling.
Tang Ruoling was in a deep sleep and could only be awakened by breaking the sleep spell.
The method to break the spell was very simple, just splash water on her face, and the sleep spell would naturally be broken.
Chen Runyu gathered spiritual power and formed a water ball, which she blew onto Tang Ruoling's face. Soon, Tang Ruoling reacted and slowly opened her eyes.
Thinking of the scene where she was attacked before, Tang Ruoling instinctively stepped back and prepared to attack. Only when she saw that there was only Chen Runyu in front of her did she relax a little, but she didn't let her guard down.
Chen Runyu was not easy to deal with, and Tang Ruoling knew that. She couldn't be sure what she would do.
With the situation unclear now, she couldn't afford to be careless.
"Don't be afraid, Miss Tang. I have no ill intentions," Chen Runyu patiently explained.
Tang Ruoling didn't pay much attention to what she said, but carefully looked around, surveying the surroundings. She then noticed that everything was covered in a white mist, with only a towering city in front of her.
"Where is this? How did I end up here?"
Although Tang Ruoling was somewhat wary of Chen Runyu, it wasn't too much. After all, Chen Runyu didn't seem like a bad person.
"This is Mirage City..." Chen Runyu explained the cause and effect to Tang Ruoling, honestly admitting that it was her own careless words that led to Tang Ruoling being captured here, and that they were both unable to leave the secret realm now.
Upon hearing this, Tang Ruoling's whole demeanor changed for the worse.
How many times has she been kidnapped already?
The term "unlucky bastard" is no longer sufficient to describe her misfortune. However, seeing Chen Runyu so honestly explain the reason, she couldn't bring herself to be angry. After all, it wasn't intentional on his part.
Although she was unlucky, she could only accept it herself.
Tang Ruoling also felt very aggrieved. She already didn't like Chen Runyu, and now she disliked him even more.
"I don't know where you got your good luck from, but this treasure had to choose you."
When Chen Runyu explained, he didn't hide anything, which made Tang Ruoling call him an idiot.
Keeping wealth hidden is the most basic survival rule. The more exposed it is, the more likely it is to be coveted by others.
Moreover, their relationship was not friendly, and this added to their resentment. Chen Runyu dared to talk to her about it, he was not just an ordinary idiot.
He was a Transcendent Level idiot!
Idiots always seem to get opportunities, while she, a wise and peaceful woman, always has bad luck. Is there any justice in the world?
Tang Ruoling couldn't help but feel a bit resentful and sarcastically said, "This Dragon Ball really has no eyes, choosing you as its successor."
Although Chen Runyu also felt that it was inappropriate for the Dragon Ball to choose her as its owner, she could only think that way herself.
How could she endure being humiliated like this?
"I know, you're jealous."
"Huh, who is jealous of whom?"
If it weren't for you being jealous of me, how could I have been trapped here with you? Now I'm already flying high with Zhang Chi, while you're the only one being kept here.
Maybe by the time you're released, Zhang Chi and I will already have children."
"You!"
Chen Runyu was no match for Tang Ruoling in a verbal argument. This statement directly broke through her defenses, causing her chest to rise and fall with anger. She didn't want to talk to Tang Ruoling anymore.
After holding back for a while, she finally suppressed her anger and said, "I woke you up not to argue with you. I know it was my fault to involve you in this, so I can also teach you the true dragon's inheritance technique. You can cultivate here so as not to waste your time."
Chen Runyu didn't know that Tang Ruoling was already at the Foundation Building Stage, half-demon. She still had the idea of having Tang Ruoling cultivate with her.
The main reason was that this time required a very long time. Every year before the Foundation Building Stage was extremely precious. It was possible that because of one or two years of neglect, it would be impossible to reach the Foundation Building Stage in the end.
Therefore, Chen Runyu thought of waking up Tang Ruoling.
In the current situation, Chen Runyu could only choose to accept it.
From now on, she would focus on cultivation and strive to break through the Divine Ability in two years, open the secret realm, and then be able to leave.
Being separated for two years wasn't too big of a problem.
Hopefully, Zhang Chi and the Sword Sect could successfully overcome the crisis and not waste too much energy because of their disappearance.
Thinking about all this, Chen Runyu still felt uneasy, always worried that Zhang Chi would be greatly affected.
For this reason, she also had to practice diligently.
Tang Ruoling was also somewhat shocked when she heard that Chen Runyu wanted to teach her the Dragon Race technique.
After the identification, this girl is not just innocent.
To exchange a powerful technique in two years, this deal is definitely not a loss.
Chen Runyu taught sincerely and didn't hide anything.
However, Tang Ruoling felt that all of this was too fantastical. The benefits came too easily, making it hard for her to believe.
But for now, she put aside her doubts and learned the Dragon Race technique taught by Chen Runyu. After exploring it, she would draw conclusions.
Outside, Zhang Chi searched Chen Runyu's residence thoroughly but found no useful clues. He also searched the back mountain, and with Gu Youyou's mental scanning, they found nothing.
"One in the south mountain, one in the north mountain, similar ways of disappearing, but different times and places.
Is there such a secret place?"
Zhang Chi didn't have much knowledge and could only ask Gu Youyou. Gu Youyou could only say that although she had seen a lot, the world was vast and full of wonders. Just because she hadn't seen a similar situation didn't mean it couldn't happen.
In short, the marriage is off, and the junior sister is lost.
The Sword Sect is in turmoil, and Tang Feng is also very depressed. He used to happily work in the medicinal field every day, which was considered a contribution to the Sword Sect.
Now he has lost all his fighting spirit, which is truly heartbreaking.
Long Yan has some opinions about Tang Feng, but seeing him sad at this moment, she couldn't help but be moved.
The love of parents for their children is always so pure.
Looking at Tang Feng's desolate appearance, she also thought of her own father.
"Ah!"
The Sword Sect was already in a state of disarray, and now it has suffered such a heavy blow. It is clear that everyone's faces have lost their smiles.
Although Chen Runyu's position in the Sword Sect is not as high as Zhang Chi's, she has many friends, and many people are worried about her.
Moreover, Chen Runyu's misfortune also inevitably makes people think of their own future.
"A low morale is not a good sign."
Long Yan noticed the problem and became anxious.
She had to find Zhang Chi and discuss countermeasures together.
Zhang Chi already knew the result but could only pretend to be unaware, looking helpless.
Seeing this, Long Yan took a deep breath and said, "We definitely won't find Tang Ruoling and Chen Runyu using conventional methods, but Dragon Transformation Palace has many treasures. Maybe there's something useful there.
Don't be too sad, wait for me to come back."
"Just a moment."
When Long Yan was about to leave, Zhang Chi grabbed her hand.
Although it was a desperate move, it still felt strange to Long Yan.
"You left Dragon Transformation Palace on your own, and now you're going back. Won't you be ridiculed?"
"It's okay, they won't laugh at me to my face."
Long Yan knew that it would be embarrassing for her to go back and seek help, but she couldn't ignore the safety of others for the sake of her own face.
"Sister has always been proud, even if she doesn't say it, she must be upset."
Zhang Chi held onto Long Yan's hand and didn't let her go. He looked sad and said, "It's all my incompetence. I couldn't protect the sect and protect the junior sister. I don't know if I offended someone to make the people around me suffer this calamity."
Zhang Chi couldn't be sure if this was the work of Dragon Transformation Palace, but it was definitely not wrong to blame them.
Long Yan was not a fool. When she heard this, she immediately thought of Dragon Transformation Palace.
Zhang Chi was usually kind to others, living a simple and disciplined life. Where would he have time to offend people? The only one he offended was Dragon Transformation Palace.
And this had nothing to do with Zhang Chi, it was purely Yin Xun's pettiness. Zhang Chi was an innocent victim.
Zhang Chi's words also reminded her that Dragon Transformation Palace indeed had the motive and the ability.
For a moment, Long Yan's face changed several times in anger.
"I'm going to find him!"
Last time, Long Yan only left the sect and didn't have any physical conflict with anyone. She thought that the matter would end there, and her intense attitude should make Yin Xun wary.
Who knew he would escalate things even further.
If he couldn't deal with Zhang Chi, he would go after the women around Zhang Chi?
Such a cunning and calculating move!
Long Yan was ashamed to be associated with them.
In a fit of anger, she was about to go and fight.
She shook off Zhang Chi's hand and was about to leave, but Zhang Chi had no choice but to step forward and hold her arm.
"Sister, wait, don't act impulsively. I was just talking nonsense without any evidence. How can you act recklessly?"
"What you said makes sense. Among the entire Dragon River Alliance, only Yin Xun is so petty and vengeful.
If someone wants to harm you, besides that petty person Yin Xun, who else could it be?"
"Guessing is still guessing. Sister, don't go."
Zhang Chi held onto Long Yan's arm with all his strength and relentlessly provoked Yin Xun.
It was definitely not possible for Long Yan to go now.
Without substantial evidence, they couldn't harm Yin Xun. If Long Yan vented her anger now, her future anger would be lessened.
It was better to suppress it for now, let her accumulate her anger, and when there was solid evidence in the future, let Long Yan release her anger and burn that foolish palace master to death.
