When my cultivation is recovering, the sect comes to persuade me to quit? I agree!

Looking around the secret room again, Lu Chen's mouth corners slightly raised.

It was well worth the trip.

I collected all the remaining demon pills in one go, which means I have completed the mission.

The secret room was extremely closed, and neither Bai Ningruo nor Lu Chen knew about the updates of the gold list in the outside world.

But Lu Chen believed it.

When Bai Ningruo goes out later, she will definitely have an expression of shock.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen turned his attention back to the ancient painting in front of him.

The current picture has changed a lot compared to before.

The deer-like monster no longer concealed its ferocious look.

"Brother, this ancient painting..."

Bai Ningruo spoke carefully, her eyes full of questions.

“I want to take it with me.”

"But this monster is extremely ferocious, Brother, you must be careful."

"I understand. Put it in the bag first and deal with it later when I have time."

Bai Ningruo nodded, naturally agreeing with Lu Chen's decision.

In fact, considering it from another perspective, it might not be a bad thing for Lu Chen to put away the ancient paintings.

The monster looks very brutal, but if it is subdued or killed, it must have a lot of treasures on it.

Lu Chen is weak now, but Bai Ning believes that after a period of time, when Lu Chen's body recovers, she will be able to get what she wants.

Lu Chen came to the painting, took it down with both hands and put it into the Qiankun bag.

The two of them walked towards the passage together.

Because they had walked through the passage before, the two people did not encounter any obstacles when they went out.

But as soon as she reached the ground, Bai Ningruo was so surprised that she was speechless.

Looking at Lu Chen, Bai Ningruo opened her mouth slightly, but no sound came out.

In desperation, Bai Ningruo had to point directly at the sky.

The gold list has been updated!

Seeing the updated content, Bai Ningruo couldn't believe her eyes.

But this result seemed to be within Lu Chen's expectations.

There was no change on Lu Chen's face, as if he had known it for a long time.

After taking a deep breath, Bai Ningruo finally regained her composure.

"Brother, how could this be? How come the number of my demon cores has become 10?"

"We both completed the mission, so naturally it's this amount."

Lu Chen answered calmly.

Bai Ningruo just shook her head.

"That's not right. These demon pills were taken by my senior brother. How come they are under my name?"

Knowing that Bai Ningruo would ask this, Lu Chen answered slowly.

"When I gave you the demon pill before, I wiped out the aura and put the demon pill in your hand. Naturally, it is yours."

Bai Ningruo was so shocked that she was speechless for a moment.

"I know what you want to say. What I have is enough. Any more will not make a difference."

"Besides, this is the result of our cooperation, so it's only natural to put it under your name."

“Don’t worry about it.”

Lu Chen made his words very clear, but Bai Ningruo felt a little guilty.

To be honest, I really got a great deal by following Lu Chen in this Nine Yang Competition.

Not only did he not have to put in any effort, but he also completed the task easily.

The most important thing is that Lu Chen also gave him tens of thousands of high-level spirit stones.

This is of extraordinary significance both to the sect and to myself.

Bai Ningruo's voice was a little choked up, "Brother, thank you."

"What are you thanking me for? It's what I should do."

Bai Ningruo lowered her head, her eyes red.

Just then, there was a sudden sound of noisy footsteps outside the door.

Bai Ningruo wiped her eyes and turned back quickly.

The moment she saw Chi Lingxiao and Qi Ze, Bai Ningruo was stunned.

How did they get here?

Are they here looking for traces?

As soon as this thought popped into her mind, Bai Ningruo immediately denied it.

Chi Lingxiao seemed a little embarrassed, and Wen Keyao next to him also looked pale.

Qi Ze was no different from usual, but his breathing was a little unstable.

If I guessed correctly, they must have fought with monsters.

As for whether the demon was taken out and killed and the demon pill was removed, I have no idea.

"How come you are here?"

Before Bai Ningruo could say anything, Chi Lingxiao raised his eyebrows and asked.

Seeing this situation, Bai Ningruo suddenly came to her senses.

Chi Lingxiao was indeed still the same. Although he had come to the Void Palace, his temperament had not changed at all.

Still so arrogant and domineering.

"This is not your home, why can't I come?"

I don’t know why, but when Bai Ningruo saw Chi Lingxiao, she felt angry.

Facing Chi Lingxiao's question, Bai Ningruo did not answer at all, but asked a question directly in return.

Chi Lingxiao glared at him and said angrily, "We just got here and you showed up. What do you mean? What do you want to do?"

Bai Ningruo smiled.

"I should be the one asking you this. We just came out and you came into this ancient temple. So why are you following us?"

Bai Ningruo's meaning was very clear, everything had to be done on a first come first served basis.

She and Lu Chen came here first.

If there really is any purpose, it should be that Chi Lingxiao and the others have ill intentions.

"I……"

Chi Lingxiao was unable to answer for a moment, so he could only glare at Bai Ningruo fiercely.

Qi Ze next to him kept his eyes on Lu Chen.

As if he wanted to see through Lu Chen.

After not seeing each other for a while, I didn't expect that Lu Chen was not as miserable as I imagined. Instead, he became full of energy.

Qi Ze was unwilling, but he didn't show it on his face.

Taking a step forward slowly, Qi Ze saluted Lu Chen.

"I've met senior brother."

Lu Chen didn't even look at Qi Ze.

Qi Ze looked embarrassed and did not stand up. He continued to speak: "Brother, I know you are angry. The matter of the Yuling Mountain Demon Cave was indeed unfair to you."

"We shouldn't have believed the rumors and misunderstood Senior Brother."

"I hope that Senior Brother can forgive us. I would like to apologize to Senior Brother first."

Qi Ze's words were extremely sincere, and his face was full of guilt.

Lu Chen had a blank expression on his face and didn't want to continue Qi Ze's words at all.

Seeing this scene, Chi Lingxiao's anger was suddenly ignited.

Qi Ze is right.

The outcome of the incident in the demon cave was indeed surprising.

But this is not something that can be caused by the ideas of one or two people.

So many phenomena at that time indicated that Lu Chen did have selfish motives.

This can’t be blamed on others!

Besides, now that the junior brother has apologized to Lu Chen, Lu Chen is still acting indifferent. Who is he doing this for?

Chi Lingxiao snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "Little Junior Brother, don't lower yourself here. Don't you see that I am no longer the same as before?"

“Perhaps leaving Xuanling Holy Sect is the most correct choice, which can reflect a person’s value.”

"He has already completed the mission for Qingyang Sect. Do you still expect him to forgive you? It's impossible!"

As soon as the marketing words were spoken, a sharp look flashed in Bai Ningruo's eyes!

"Chi Lingxiao, don't confuse right and wrong here! Do you think that everyone will believe you just by saying a few words?"

"Everyone has seen how your Xuanling Holy Sect bullied Lu Chen, yet you are still complaining here. What are you criticizing?"

"If I were you, I would have left in disgrace a long time ago. How could I have the nerve to show up in front of my Senior Brother Lu Chen!"

Bai Ningruo's words were so sharp that Chi Lingxiao was speechless.

Stamping his feet heavily, Chi Lingxiao had to ask Wen Keyao next to him for help.

But Wen Keyao acted as if nothing had happened and ignored Chi Lingxiao.

"Sister, please say something. We have all been bullied like this. Can you bear to watch?"

"Brother, you must have your reasons for not forgiving us. We were wrong in the beginning, and that's the truth."

Chi Lingxiao was shocked and looked at Wen Keyao in disbelief.

After talking for so long, all I got in return was this: Wen Keyao said this?

Saying it means not saying it!

wrong!

Wen Keyao's words completely supported Lu Chen's side!

Chi Lingxiao wanted to say something, but Qi Ze stepped forward to stop him and secretly winked at Chi Lingxiao.

Chi Lingxiao was stunned at first, then he suddenly realized.

Even his arrogant look was put away.

"Brother, as long as you can forgive us, we can do anything."

When Qi Ze said this, Lu Chen turned his head slightly.

"Anything can be done?"

"Yes, we are fellow disciples after all. For the sake of Xuanling Holy Sect, we should put aside our past grudges."

As soon as Qi Ze finished speaking, Chi Lingxiao's eyes began to turn red.

Junior brother is really... broad-minded!

In everything, the overall situation and the Xuanling Holy Sect are the most important!

This breadth of mind alone is beyond Lu Chen's reach!

In front of Qi Ze, Lu Chen became more despicable and narrow-minded!

"Then...how about handing over your life?"

Lu Chen spoke neither slowly nor hurriedly, pausing after each word.

Qi Ze was stunned, and even the expression on his face froze.

Hand over your life?

What a joke!

Is Lu Chen crazy?

It's totally impossible to make such an unreasonable request!

If it comes to giving up someone else's life, maybe you can give it a try.

But Lu Chen wanted his own life, that was simply wishful thinking!

"Big Brother, you can't joke like that."

"I'm not joking."

Lu Chen looked at Qi Ze in front of him seriously and meaningfully.

The moment Qi Ze appeared, all kinds of images emerged in Lu Chen's mind.

In the previous life, all the persecution and humiliation Qi Ze inflicted on him seemed to be right before his eyes.

So when faced with Qi Ze's hypocrisy again, Lu Chen did not tolerate it at all.

He immediately said something that hit the nail on the head.

Sure enough, things turned out just as I thought.

Just one sentence made Qi Ze shut up.

But in Chi Lingxiao's opinion, Lu Chen was deliberately making things difficult for Qi Ze.

Seeing his junior fellow apprentice being bullied like this, Chi Lingxiao naturally felt unwilling.

"What on earth does Lu Chen want to do? Don't push your luck! Junior Brother has already said this, and you still won't give in. You're going too far!"

"I never thought you were such a person. We should have seen your true colors long ago!"

"I was hoping that you would forgive us, and that we could still be fellow disciples. Now that I think about it, maybe it's a good thing that you don't forgive us!"

Just a moment ago, Chi Lingxiao was still thinking about saying more good things to Lu Chen.

In this way, perhaps for the sake of past face, Lu Chen would give them some demon pills.

But seeing Lu Chen making things so difficult for Qi Ze.

Chi Lingxiao simply made up his mind and went all out.

Since Lu Chen is so despicable and has no bottom line, they will no longer have any extravagant hopes!

It would be better to finish what I am saying than to let Lu Chen humiliate me here!

This way, we can also maintain the reputation of Xuanling Holy Sect!

Before Lu Chen could speak, Bai Ningruo suddenly laughed.

“It’s really hilarious!”

"You guys change your faces so suddenly, what do you want to do? Don't you want my senior brother to help you get the demon pill?"

"If that's the case, then your wishful thinking is wrong!"

"Back in Xuanling Holy Sect, Senior Brother had done his best. Now that this has nothing to do with you, why should I help you?"

Bai Ningruo smiled and looked at the three people in front of her.

Chi Lingxiao's cheeks puffed up with anger.

Qi Ze's expression was also very embarrassed.

Only Wen Keyao seemed to be out of the matter.

It was as if what was happening in front of him had nothing to do with him.

After finishing her sharp accusation, Bai Ningruo reached out and held Lu Chen's arm.

"Brother, there's no need to waste time with these people, let's go!"

Bai Ningruo said as she pulled Lu Chen.

Lu Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly and then nodded.

But before his feet landed, Chi Lingxiao suddenly stood in front of Lu Chen.

"Don't leave!"

"Tell me what you want today. Is it because this witch has bewitched you that you are willing to serve them?"

"Everyone says that the number of demon pills on the list is a disadvantage. Did you give all the demon pills you got to this demon girl?"

"Lu Chen, you can't let others take advantage of you!"

Bai Ningruo's expression suddenly turned cold.

Caught off guard, he pushed Chi Lingxiao aside.

There was a hint of coldness in his tone.

"Chi Lingxiao, if you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

If we really have to talk about exploitation, it was the Xuanling Holy Sect that exploited Lu Chen!

Back when they were in the Xuanling Holy Sect, they wanted to squeeze every bit of value out of Lu Chen.

After learning that Lu Chen's cultivation had recovered, he expelled Lu Chen from the sect.

How can this be something a normal person would do?

Such a group of lunatics forced Lu Chen into a desperate situation.

Now he keeps saying that he was the one who bewitched Lu Chen!

hateful!

It's really shameful!

Looking at the fierce aura emanating from Bai Ningruo, Chi Lingxiao didn't dare to step forward.

What made Chi Lingxiao even more unacceptable was that Lu Chen did not even pull his arm out of Bai Ningruo's arms!

It seems that he is willing!

"Witch! You will die a horrible death!"

Chi Lingxiao gritted his teeth and cursed fiercely in his heart.

It seemed like fire was about to burst out of Chi Lingxiao's eyes.

Bai Ningruo suddenly smiled disdainfully.

"It's a complete waste of time to talk to someone like this, Brother. We might as well go hunt some monsters with this time, don't you think?"

"That's right, let's go and find some food for Xuan Mo."

After saying that, Lu Chen left without looking back.

Chi Lingxiao was stunned again.

"Senior Sister, what was Lu Chen saying just now?"

"Find food for Xuan Mo?"

"Are we worse than a cat?"
