Carefree ng Lan, who had been nervously observing from the side, burst into cheers upon hearing this, "That’s great!" Her face was filled with uncontrollable joy. She held Luo Chen’s hand and ran over, eyes shining with anticipation and excitent, "Grandfather, does this an you agree for him to be the chief guardian of our clan?"
Su Lan Ai Yu, seeing his granddaughter’s joyous appearance, also felt a deep sense of relief. He smiled and nodded, "This girl, who would refuse such a strong protector for their family? Do you think your grandfather is regressing?" His words were full of recognition for Thunderstorm and doting on his granddaughter.
Carefree ng Lan playfully stuck out her tongue with a coquettish look. This scene captivated Luo Chen, stirring an indescribable emotion in his heart.
At this mont, Thunderstorm’s voice rang out again, still cold yet firm, "If the trial is over, we should head back." After saying this, he turned to leave. However, everyone’s perception of him had drastically changed. They no longer doubted or underestimated him, but instead were filled with awe and reverence.
A formidable figure capable of easily killing two Soul King leaders, soone who didn’t even consider low-grade Spiritual Treasures, was willing to join their Ling Yue Clan! This was undoubtedly fantastic news for the clan. With such a strong protector, Ling Yue Clan would surely surpass Loulan and Tang Ming Clans and beco the foremost clan in ngyifei City!
Thinking of this, Su Lan Ai Yu’s smile beca even more brilliant. He stood up, looking at Thunderstorm and Luo Chen about to leave, and warmly invited, "Alright, you both must be tired today. It’s ti to go back and rest well. If you find it uncomfortable staying outside, you’re always welco at the Ling Yue Family." His words were filled with sincerity and anticipation.
Thunderstorm and Luo Chen exchanged glances, nodding slightly in gratitude. Then, under the gaze of awe and envy from everyone around, they slowly walked out of the hall. At this mont, their backs seed even more towering and mysterious.
Carefree ng Lan’s face blushed slightly, glared at Zhu Xue, then feigned turning away playfully, saying with a teasing smile, "You naughty child, still so immature after all this ti, and so wilful in your speech. If you go out, don’t ntion you’re from the Ling Yue Family, or you’ll make us a laughing stock."
Zhu Xue giggled and sat up, her green gauze dress swaying gently with her movents, like a blooming green flower. She walked to Carefree ng Lan’s side, took her arm, and said coquettishly, "Alright, alright, I know. Sister, please don’t be angry. I’ll be careful in the future."
Carefree ng Lan shook her head helplessly, smiling as she said, "You always try to take advantage of ." She glared at her, her face flushing slightly, gently withdrew her hand, then elegantly stood up, walked to the window, and turned her back, seemingly enjoying the view outside.
Zhu Xue didn’t mind, knowing Carefree ng Lan’s personality and that she wasn’t truly angry. She walked to Carefree ng Lan’s side, standing shoulder to shoulder, watching the scenery outside together. The two stood there quietly, enjoying the rare peaceful mont.
After a long while, Zhu Xue broke the silence, "Sister, you seem very happy today. Did sothing good happen?" She asked curiously, her eyes shining with a gossiping light. For her, anything about Carefree ng Lan always piqued her interest greatly.
Carefree ng Lan smiled gently, but didn’t directly answer Zhu Xue’s question, instead asking back, "What do you think?" Her eyes revealed a hint of mystery and cunning, seemingly trying to tease Zhu Xue deliberately. She knew that if she directly told Zhu Xue, Zhu Xue would definitely pester her endlessly, so it was better to let her guess.
Seeing Carefree ng Lan unwilling to tell her directly, Zhu Xue wasn’t discouraged. She tilted her head, thought for a mont, then guessed, "Could it have sothing to do with that Luo Chen? I saw you two ca back holding hands~" Her tone contained a teasing and playful hint, clearly trying to make Carefree ng Lan happy. She knew Carefree ng Lan had special feelings for Luo Chen, so she deliberately joked about it.
"If I’m not mistaken, it’s ti to set off for the Death Forest." Thunderstorm walked ahead, his voice calm yet with an unmistakable decisiveness.
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen’s heart stirred, and he couldn’t help but ask, "Is it today?" He originally thought there would be a few days to prepare, but didn’t expect the schedule to be so tight.
"Yes." Thunderstorm nodded, "The Ling Yue Clan boy you defeated should be the last candidate. But he was unlucky, considering he almost had a hundred percent chance of winning against his family mbers." His words carried a hint of sarcasm, seemingly mocking the misfortune of that Ling Yue Clan boy.
Luo Chen silently nodded, feeling a mix of curiosity and anticipation for the upcoming journey to the Death Forest, along with a touch of inexplicable tension.
"Shouldn’t there be others going into the Death Forest with ?" Luo Chen asked tentatively, "But I’m curious, why are they entering the Death Forest, is it for special training, or searching for so treasure?"
Thunderstorm paused, slowly turning to look at Luo Chen. He showed a rare look of comfort, "You’re lucky, coming to the Divine Fire Empire and imdiately receiving the favor of that Carefree ng Lan."
Luo Chen blushed, scratching his head awkwardly, "This doesn’t seem related to entering the Death Forest." Although grateful for Carefree ng Lan’s help, at this mont he was more concerned with the impending adventure.
