Lu Chen and his companion were unaware that something was amiss. They excitedly stepped forward, eagerly awaiting a warm welcome from everyone at the Xuanwu Academy.
However, upon closer inspection, it became clear that these people did not look too well.
"What happened?" Both of them were very curious.
Lu Ziqi even asked directly, "Who died?" Upon hearing this, everyone in the Xuanwu Academy felt as if they had swallowed a fly, and they were furious.
These two are so shameless.
They didn't seem to care at all.
The Xuanwu Academy's headmaster asked expressionlessly, "Why are you back? How long have you been gone?" "What's wrong with coming back? Can't we take a look? This is my family home, after all!" Lu Ziqi rolled her eyes, then suddenly realized something and added, "You all seem very unhappy. Did someone cause trouble while I was gone?" Everyone's faces darkened.
Lu Chen, on the contrary, felt that this was not the case; he sensed that the two of them were being disliked.
"Did you two get into trouble and get fired? Is that why you're slinking back here?" Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer and asked directly.
Based on their understanding of Lu Ziqi, this is very likely to happen.
It might even be more exaggerated than you imagine.
In particular, Lu Chen was also with her.
"Hahahaha!" Lu Ziqi was stunned for a moment, then burst into exaggerated laughter.
"What a joke! I am the youngest elder of the True Martial Academy. Who would dare to expel me? Besides, it wasn't me who caused the trouble, but..." Lu Ziqi was interrupted by Lu Chen before she could finish speaking. He didn't want to take the blame.
"Sect Leader and Elders, you have misunderstood. We just came back to visit. Besides, if we were really expelled from the sect, we would be too ashamed to come back."
Lu Chen's words finally brought a sigh of relief to everyone.
Only then did they remember that Lu Ziqi had just said that she had become the youngest elder of the Zhenwu Academy.
Thinking about this, they couldn't help but sigh.
Lu Ziqi's current status is far more prestigious than theirs.
The fact that Lu Ziqi still thought of coming back to visit shows that she cherishes old friendships, and everyone felt much happier thinking about it.
The entire Xuanwu Academy showed great enthusiasm for the return of the two.
Lu Ziqi really showed off, leaving Lu Chen speechless.
To Lu Chen's great surprise, after only one day back, Lu Ziqi hurriedly pulled him away.
To the outside world, they would say that time was limited and they could not stay here any longer, as they had to return to Zhenwu Academy.
However, Lu Chen knew that Lu Ziqi didn't want to go back at all. She had finally come out, so of course she wanted to enjoy herself to the fullest.
As expected.
Lu Ziqi, who had gone mad from being locked up in the Xuanwu Academy, suddenly became an elder of the Zhenwu Academy, greatly elevating her status and position. No one cared about her anymore, and she was free to run wild as soon as she was released.
"Come on, come on! I heard your old sect was that Ten Thousand Swords Sect? Let's go take a look."
Lu Ziqi couldn't wait to pull Lu Chen away.
"I didn't say I wanted to go back."
Lu Chen was both amused and exasperated.
"Hmph! One should not forget one's roots. Look at me, even after becoming an elder of the True Martial Academy, I have not forgotten my former fellow disciples. Didn't I come back to visit them? You are too lazy to even go back?"
A look of disdain appeared on Lu Ziqi's face.
Lu Chen was quite helpless and glanced at Ling Yan'er beside him.
Ling Yan'er has been feeling down lately.
After all, she had gone to great lengths to infiltrate the Xuanwu Academy, only to find that these two had escaped and even become members of the headquarters, greatly elevating their status and position.
Only I remained.
Upon hearing that she was going back to the Myriad Swords Sect, Ling Yan'er's eyes lit up. She and Lu Chen had joined the Myriad Swords Sect together, and recalling those days gave her a feeling of being in another world.
"Look, even your junior sister wants to go back. How can you be so heartless?"
Lu Ziqi deliberately put on a stern face.
Lu Chen sighed and said, "Let's go, let's go! If you want to go back, hurry up and leave."
It's been a long time since I've been back, and I wonder how the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is doing now.
This time, Lu Ziqi brought Ling Yan'er along, since Ling Yan'er is also considered her apprentice.
The three of them headed north.
At their current speed, the three of them should have only needed a few days to reach the Myriad Swords Sect, but it took them a full half month to get there.
Lu Chen was speechless.
Lu Ziqi was simply sightseeing the whole way, as if she hadn't left the house in eight hundred years, and everything she saw seemed strange and wonderful.
Unfortunately, she was incredibly powerful and, in name, the master of Lu Chen and Ling Yan'er, so no one dared to question her decision.
"By the way, I heard you had an enemy called the Wuji Sect? It seems to be nearby, right? Why don't we go take a look?"
Halfway there, Lu Ziqi suddenly had another idea; she always had one idea after another.
Lu Chen was already used to it.
But upon hearing this, he was slightly taken aback.
Lu Chen thought for a long time before he remembered that there was indeed such an enemy.
"I had completely forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. But we're not exactly enemies anymore."
Lu Chen waved his hand, showing no interest in going to the Wuji Sect. He just wanted to return to the Wanjian Sect as soon as possible to see those familiar faces and also to see how the Wanjian Sect had fared after he had been away for so long.
It turns out that Lu Ziqi was unhappy.
"How could I, Lu Ziqi, have taken in a disciple like you? You've utterly disgraced me. How dare the Wuji Sect provoke my sect? They're courting death. You're going today whether you like it or not. I want to see who dares to bully my disciple."
