Yu Lingli was very panicked.
After jumping in through the window, he looked around first. Just as he was about to sit down, he saw dense spiritual patterns suddenly light up on the walls, ceiling, and floor of the room.
Among them, he also felt the aura of a fourth-grade spiritual formation!
"Oh, sorry, it's just a little precaution," Chen Zhong immediately pretended to cancel the spirit array trap, "mainly because I'm worried about some people with bad intentions."
“…” Yu Lingli broke out in a sweat.
Isn’t this talking about me!
This is a blatant threat!
There was no way, Yu Lingli really didn't dare to do anything rash, because Wang Dezhi had already closed the window and stood behind him, still saying confidently, "Why is it so cold tonight? You'd better close the window!"
Yulingli???
You are at the Grandmaster level, and you are still afraid of the cold!
If you’re afraid I’ll run away, just tell me!
"Senior Wang, I didn't expect that we would meet here." Yu Lingli forced a smile.
Turning around, he gave Chen Zhong a wry smile, "Mr. Chen Zhong, let's stop pretending and just speak frankly."
"What acting?" Chen Zhong was stunned. "Did you misunderstand?"
Yu Lingli shrugged. "After seeing all this, how could I not misunderstand? This is just a normal reaction."
Chen Zhong suddenly realized, "Hey! The Dean and the Palace Master are here to visit their students and conduct a survey on academy life. As for Elder Wang... I found something he left behind during his battle with the Spirit Beast King in the Linglong Mountains, and he secretly came here to thank me."
Yu Lingli's face darkened. "After all, I've received professional training from the Arbitration Institute. Although your expression and actions don't seem like you're lying, can your excuses be even slightly reliable? It feels like you're taking me for a fool!"
Chen Zhong's lips curled up into a smile and he flicked his fingertips.
A fourth-grade confinement array chain stretched out from under Yu Lingli's feet and quickly wrapped him around the chair.
"You're not stupid, but sometimes people should pretend to be stupid."
"Tell me, how did you find me?"
Chen Zhong also moved a chair and sat opposite Yu Lingli. In order to prevent this guy from having any other tricks up his sleeve, he signaled Wang Dezhi to sit next to him and keep a close eye on him.
Yu Lingli was shocked. By observing the expressions of the people, he was horrified to find that the great elder of Hongwu Sect, who was a master, obeyed Chen Zhong's words and his eyes were full of respect!
The same was true for Xu Xiaodao, who was even stronger before. He was quite respectful towards Chen Zhong. As for Ni Hengxiu, his attitude was a bit ambiguous, more like an old friend who was equal.
Ah, this...
What the hell did I get into?
Yu Lingli, oh Yu Lingli, you have been working in the Agricultural Bureau for a few years, how come you have developed this bad habit of being "curious"? I am just a rookie at the first level of the Soul Tempering Realm, and in front of them, I can be crushed to death with just one hand.
"My cousin told me. Since you are his savior, I want to see if you have any bad intentions out of brotherly concern." Yu Lingli answered honestly. This was indeed his motive.
"Your cousin? Li Qinghong?" Chen Zhong thought for a moment.
"Yes, that guy. I'm worried that someone might use his status as the Young Master of Qingfeng Palace to cause trouble," Yu Lingli said with a wry smile. "As you know, I work for the Imperial Arbitration Office, so I'm a bit cautious."
When he mentioned this, Chen Zhong frowned and glanced out the window. This man had royal status and a high position in the Arbitration Institute. He might have brought his subordinates with him.
"Don't look for me anymore. I came here alone this time, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to enter the academy." Yu Lingli said.
There was a long silence.
Chen Zhong and Yu Lingli looked at each other, thinking in their hearts.
This man seems easygoing, but there is always perseverance in his eyes. The fact that he was able to reach the Soul Tempering Realm at the age of nearly thirty is enough to show how strong his will is.
The master-servant contract probably has no effect on him. It's not that he doubts the power of rules, but Yu Lingli simply won't call Chen Zhong "Master"!
If pushed to the end, the outcome may be that it is better to die than to live in disgrace, and no one will benefit.
Therefore, to deal with such people, we need to use both carrot and stick.
"First of all, let me make my position clear. My presence here does not mean any ill will to the Chiyan Empire, because I have no interest in the structure of the lower realm." Chen Zhong changed his tone to a serious one.
Seeing Chen Zhong's seriousness, Yu Lingli became serious. "Are you from the upper realm? Then what are you doing here? What does your appearance mean?"
Chen Zhong shook his head and lowered his body. He didn't look like a teenager of sixteen or seventeen at all. His eyes were filled with depth that no one could understand.
"I cannot tell you who I am or where I come from, but I can tell you one thing: in the near future, there will be a catastrophe that will sweep across both the lower and upper realms. My presence is to unite the divided humanity of the lower realm and gradually build a Fate Guards force capable of withstanding disaster!"
Chen Zhong was talking nonsense in a serious tone. Anyway, these words came from the prophecy of the Ling Ya Cult, so he was just repeating it himself.
Moreover, catastrophe in this era is not so far away. After all, the demon cave will erupt sooner or later, and he is not deceiving Yu Lingli.
If a little kid said this, no one would believe it.
If Chen Zhong had said this in the past, it would have been treated as a joke.
However, Chen Zhong, who could make the Grandmasters surrender and the strongest man in the lower realm treat him with courtesy, said something different!
Who dares to ignore?
At least Yu Lingli, who was already suspicious, didn't dare.
As expected, Yu Lingli's expression changed on the spot, turning pale and then blue. He was trying to savor the meaning of the words. The more he thought about it, the more sweat oozed from his forehead.
"Is it a demon cave?" Yu Lingli asked with difficulty.
Chen Zhong said nothing, but his meaningful eyes said it all.
