The group left the main arena and headed out of the Spirit Dueling Arena.
On the way, Duke Bei Yu handed a ring to Lu Chen, lowering his voice and saying: “Inside here is that seventy thousand year Shadow Ghost Leopard right leg Spirit Bone, and a Tier 6 melee spirit tool.
This is the reward for Brother Lu helping me this time.
Please accept it, don’t decline.” Lu Chen took the ring, nodded, and smiled: “Since it’s Brother Bei Yu’s kind intention, then I won’t be presumptuous.” Tang Ya stared at the ring, unable to help but swallow.
A seventy thousand year Spirit Bone—that was a treasure all Spirit Masters dreamed of.
He just got it?
Elder Chen suddenly interjected, his tone filled with worry: “Young Master, that old fellow Wang Ou is quite strong.
Why don’t you leave with Little Friend Lu first?” “That’s right, Bei Yuxuan.” Tang Ya also chimed in, persuading, “That Luo Du fellow is very insidious.
He might have already set up an ambush outside.
If you come with us, it will be more convenient for Elder Chen to fight.” Although they had only known each other for a short time, she could tell that Bei Yuxuan and Luo Du were definitely not on the same side.
Bei Yuxuan stopped, shaking his head gently: “What Luo Du truly wants is my Spirit Bone, and my life.
I’ll attract his attention up front.
Brother Lu, Miss Tang, you two can take the opportunity to disguise yourselves and leave.” He put away his folding fan and smiled faintly, “Besides, if he has a trump card, I naturally do too.
If I truly want to leave, he can’t stop me.
We part ways here.
Next time you come to the Dukes Mansion, I’ll be the host and treat Brother Lu to a good drink.” “Are you really confident?” Lu Chen frowned.
Bei Yuxuan looked confident: “Trust me!” “Alright then, I’ll come find you next time.” After Lu Chen finished speaking, he pulled Tang Ya and walked into the crowd.
“Little Chen, are we really not going to help him?” Tang Ya asked softly.
Lu Chen’s expression was calm: “Don’t underestimate the foundation of a Dukes Mansion.
Instead of worrying about him, we are in more danger now.” “What do you mean?” Tang Ya looked confused.
“We’ve been targeted, and there are quite a few of them.” Tang Ya was startled and subconsciously tried to turn her head, but Lu Chen grabbed her arm.
“Don’t look back, just walk normally.” Tang Ya suppressed the panic in her heart and steadied her steps: “How could they have targeted us?
Bei Yuxuan secretly gave you the Spirit Bone just now.” Lu Chen was a little helpless: “Did you forget Luo Du’s storage soul tool ring?
Although they don’t know the exact price of the ring, how could something worn by a duke’s son be bad?
We should be glad that those experts all went to snatch Bei Yuxuan’s Spirit Bone, leaving only low-level Spirit Masters.” Tang Ya suddenly understood, then nervously said: “What do we do now?
The entrance to the Spirit Dueling Arena might also be watched.” “I have a plan.” Lu Chen said, then turned and led Tang Ya back into the Spirit Dueling Arena.
“Boss, why did that kid suddenly go back inside?
Did he discover us?” Not far behind Lu Chen, a Hook-nosed Man asked in confusion.
Beside him, a burly man with a scar running across his face snorted coldly: “So what if he discovered us?
We’re two Soul Venerables, are we afraid of a mere Spirit Scholar?
Let’s go, follow them!” With that, the two continued to secretly tail them.
Many others around them had the same idea and secretly followed.
This scene was witnessed by the Body Sect group who had just come out of the VIP room.
“This brat, so timid?” Du Busi was a bit speechless.
He had been planning to make a grand entrance and save Lu Chen when he was in danger.
Making him admire him and wholeheartedly join his sect.
But this kid actually turned around and ran back.
Chen Lü asked, “Sect Master, should we go find him directly?” Du Busi stroked his chin: “Let’s follow him first and see how this brat escapes from a pack of hungry wolves.” Not long after, Lu Chen led Tang Ya to the Spirit Dueling Arena Manager’s office.
“What are we doing here?
The Spirit Dueling Arena Manager won’t protect us for free.” Tang Ya looked at the office in front of her, full of confusion.
“That’s because you didn’t pay enough.” Lu Chen said, just as he was about to knock, a steady voice came from inside the door: “Come in.” Lu Chen’s lips curved slightly, and he pushed the door open and walked in.
What greeted his eyes was a middle-aged man, sitting behind a semi-circular desk.
Lu Chen was very familiar with this person’s appearance; it was precisely the Spirit Douluo from their previous gamble.
“My surname is Shi, you can call me Uncle Shi, or Manager Shi.” Shi Feng smiled slightly, completely without the air of a superior.
Lu Chen respectfully bowed, then grinned: “Manager Shi sounds too formal, Uncle Shi sounds more intimate.” Tang Ya, standing by, quickly followed suit and called out, “Uncle Shi.” Shi Feng laughed heartily, then asked, “What can I do for you?” “Um…
I’m afraid of the dark, and I’d like to trouble Uncle Shi to take me to the nearest Body Sect branch.
Of course, I can pay.” Originally, he wanted to attract the Body Sect people to find him.
But the Spirit Bone was too precious, so to be safe, Lu Chen had to seek their protection first.
Shi Feng’s mouth twitched slightly.
Afraid of the dark, my ass.
Just say you’re afraid of dying!
As the Spirit Dueling Arena Manager, he had seen too many scenarios of being followed and robbed after the fact.
Those rootless desperadoes, even if the other party was a Body Sect disciple, would dare to seize the opportunity to take a bite.
“Your Spirit quality is not low.
Logically, you should be a core disciple of the Body Sect.
Why didn’t you bring a bodyguard when you went out?” “Alas, I did…” Lu Chen sighed, a lie readily escaping his lips, “But this is a sect assessment.
He will only act when my life is in danger.
Once he makes a move, my vacation ends, and I’ll be forced to return to the sect.” He said this also because he was afraid that Shi Feng might have ill intentions, as it’s always wise to be cautious.
But these words completely baffled Du Busi outside the door: “When did our sect have such a rule?
Why don’t I know about it?” Vina chuckled, “Sect Master, he’s just making it up.” “This brat, daring to use our Body Sect’s name to swindle people!” Chen Lü looked speechless.
Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Shi Feng suddenly understood.
He wasn’t familiar with the internal affairs of the Body Sect, but he knew that some large sects would set up various assessments to cultivate the next generation’s sense of crisis.
Lu Chen chuckled: “Uncle Shi, I won’t let you make a trip for nothing.
I’ll offer one hundred thousand gold coin, what do you think?” “Not good at all!” As soon as these words came out, before Shi Feng could even speak, the office door was violently kicked open.
Du Busi glared at Lu Chen, scolding him for not living up to expectations: “Brat, are you really that afraid of death?
The sect’s outer outpost is less than three kilometers from here.
For such a short distance, you’re actually willing to spend one hundred thousand gold coin to hire a Spirit Douluo for escort?
You have money with nowhere to spend it, huh!” Lu Chen wiped the spittle from his face, staring blankly at the impossibly burly figure before him.
Short hair, full beard, green skin!
His pupils suddenly widened, and he exclaimed in surprise: “Holy crap!
Poison…
bah, Master!” Du Busi was choked by this sudden For a moment, he even forgot what he was originally going to say.
Vina, Chen Lü, and Jiang Yixi all looked stunned.
“My ass, Master.
This guy’s shamelessness is almost as thick as a city wall!” Chen Lü’s mouth twitched as he furiously grumbled internally.
“Body…
Your Excellency of the Body Sect!” Shi Feng shot up from his seat, standing dumbfounded.
He stared at Lu Chen in disbelief, “This kid, is he actually the disciple of Du Busi, the Sect Master of the Body Sect?!”
