The others were relieved to see Ye Chen coming back.
Murong Xue stood not far away, watching all this with a complicated expression.
Now that she knew Ye Chen's true cultivation level, she felt extremely regretful. If she had not been so blinded by greed, she would not have ended up like this.
How could Ye Chen be a waste if he could be accepted as a disciple by Su Taixu and cultivated to the eighth level of Qi Refining in just half a year?
He just didn't want to expose himself, didn't want to be noticed, and disdained to compete for fame and fortune with those who thought they were geniuses.
Now everything is irreversible, because her Tianyin Pavilion will become a laughing stock in the Canglan Continent for breaking off the engagement with a top genius.
"Ye Chen...I...thank you!"
Murong Xue took a few steps forward, wanting to say something but stopping herself, and finally could only say thank you.
"You don't have to thank me. I didn't come here to save you. Saving you was just a coincidence."
Ye Chen said this expressionlessly, then turned around and took Luo Qingcheng, Su Chen and others into the Dongfang family.
Luo Qingcheng stopped when passing by Murong Xue and looked at her deeply.
After entering the Dongfang family, Ye Chen went straight to the treasure house. He was eyeing the Dongfang family's spirit stones.
The Dongfang family has been disbanded, and the spirit stones cannot be given away to others easily.
Outside the Dongfang family's treasure house, there is a powerful forbidden guard.
Su Chen stood in front of the restriction, carefully observing the patterns on it.
"This restriction is a bit tricky."
Ye Chen raised the corner of his mouth: "It's okay, just watch me."
He casually made a hand gesture, and a beam of light pierced into the barrier. The barrier emitted a buzzing sound, and then it broke.
"Walk!"
Ye Chen shouted softly and entered the treasure house first.
In the treasure house, there are all kinds of magic weapons, spiritual stones, and elixirs.
Ye Chen's eyes lit up and he went straight to the area where the spirit stones were stored.
"Haha, so many spirit stones, I'm going to make a fortune this time!"
Ye Chen was so excited that he couldn't close his mouth. The Dongfang family had collected a lot of spirit stones during this period by taking advantage of the immortal recruiting disciples.
Now all of them are cheap to Ye Chen and his friends.
Luo Qingcheng and Su Chen were also shocked by the wealth before them.
"So many magical weapons and elixirs! More than our sect's treasury!"
Yu Chuman couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"The spirit stone is mine, no one of you can snatch it from me!"
As Ye Chen spoke, he opened the storage ring and put the spirit stones in front of him into the storage ring.
Luo Qingcheng, Yu Chuman and Su Chen knew that Ye Chen loved spirit stones and had no intention of taking any of them, so they looted all the magic weapons and elixirs.
After leaving the Dongfang family, Ye Chen hummed a little tune all the way, feeling as happy as a little fox who had stolen some spiritual fruit.
Now his storage ring is filled to the brim with spirit stones.
After the matter was settled, Su Taixu waved his hand and gathered everyone back to Tianxuan Sect.
In the back mountain of Tianxuan Sect, there is the Purple Bamboo Forest.
After landing, Su Taixu, Lin Shuo, Su Chen, Luo Qingcheng, and Yu Chuman all stared at Ye Chen.
Waiting for Ye Chen to give a reasonable explanation, that look seemed to see through him completely.
Ye Chen's scalp tingled and he felt uncomfortable all over.
He knew that the matter of hiding his cultivation level could no longer be concealed.
There was an eerie quiet in the air.
Finally, Ye Chen couldn't stand it anymore.
"Don't look at me like that, it's creepy."
He shrugged casually, "Alright! I won't pretend anymore. I'm a master of hiding my true self. I'm laying my cards on the table. If you have any questions, just ask directly."
Ye Chen spread his hands, with an attitude of "leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist", but he was secretly proud in his heart: You little brats, can't I deal with you?
Luo Qingcheng was the first to break the silence and ask a question.
"Your current cultivation level is the real cultivation level, right?"
Her tone was gentle, yet with a hint of inquiry.
"Yes, the first level of the Tribulation Stage."
Ye Chen spread his hands and answered frankly.
"Are you hiding anything else from us?"
Yu Chuman followed closely behind, her tone slightly dissatisfied. She had known him for several years, but the secret had always been kept from her, which still shocked her from time to time.
"I swear to God, I am an honest and good child."
Ye Chen put on an innocent look.
He paused, then added, "Except for the matter of hiding his cultivation."
"So, Yeying is you?"
Lin Shuo looked directly at Ye Chen with sharp eyes, and the past events came to his mind one by one.
Outside Tianwu City, he was beaten by Ye Ying until his eyes turned black. He was practicing in his room when Ye Ying came to his door and insisted on competing with him...
"You found me."
Ye Chen touched his nose and chuckled. He knew he couldn't hide it any longer, so he might as well confess directly.
Lin Shuo clenched his fists so hard that they made a clattering sound. He really wanted to drag this little junior brother out and give him a beating.
But Su Chen suddenly jumped up and pointed at Ye Chen with a look of shock on his face.
"Ye Ying? You are the one who gave me the Nine-Transformation Golden Spirit Fruit to help me break through the Nascent Soul stage and comprehend the laws!"
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows and gave Su Chen a look that said "you just know".
"Great! I knew that the person who could give me the Nine-Transformation Golden Spirit Fruit must be the one closest to me."
Su Chen seemed extremely excited and had forgotten about what happened outside Tianwu City when he was beaten into a panda eye by Ye Ying.
He only remembered that Ye Ying helped him comprehend the sword intent, helped him break through the Nascent Soul stage, helped him comprehend the laws in the Nascent Soul stage, and also gave him the Nine-Transformation Golden Spirit Fruit, which greatly improved his talent.
"What a fool!"
Yu Chuman couldn't help but mutter as she looked at the excited Su Chen.
"When did it start?"
Su Taixu spoke slowly, his tone meaningful. He was sure that when he first accepted Ye Chen as his disciple, Ye Chen had no cultivation at all.
He has grown up in these few years.
"My cultivation level is broken through step by step. I just broke through the Tribulation Stage. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would call me a monster."
Ye Chen scratched his head and smiled helplessly.
"You were the one who beat up the First and Fifth Elders and stole their magic weapons and spirit stones, weren't you?"
Su Taixu continued to ask.
"This... this was indeed my doing. Those two elders were usually disrespectful and arrogant, so I was just enforcing justice and teaching them a lesson."
Ye Chen smiled awkwardly.
Su Taixu nodded and agreed with Ye Chen's approach.
"You're the one who came to the back mountain to challenge me?"
Su Taixu suddenly spoke in a bad tone. Thinking of that night, half of his butt still felt a dull pain.
Ye Chen scratched his head and chuckled, "Lao Su, isn't that a sparring match? A sparring match."
He looked at Su Taixu with a flattering expression, but muttered to himself: Who made your butt so perky, old man? I can't help but want to kick it.
The corner of Su Taixu's mouth twitched, and he looked at Ye Chen with an unfriendly look. This kid really... deserves a beating!
"Hey, Old Devil Su, you can't afford to play!"
Ye Chen looked at Su Taixu's unfriendly eyes and felt something was wrong. At the same time, he prepared to escape through space.
He knew that the next "education" was probably inevitable.
Lin Shuo also stared at Ye Chen with a bad look. He couldn't hit Ye Chen with the panda eyes in vain, he had to fight back!
