94: Invitation to attend the awards ceremony
"Hmm?" The Second Prince voiced his confusion upon hearing them. Why did what these two were saying sound so familiar?
Looking again at the woman in the puffy short skirt, wasn't the club floating behind her the very one he had just sold?
Then he heard the beautiful woman in the short skirt reply, "Oh, Meilin, I told you, it wasn't that I was lucky. The person who put that equipment up for consignment must have something wrong with his head. I don't know if he's a fool or what. May the Nature Goddess bless him."
Hearing those particularly heart-stabbing words from the beautiful red lips of the woman named Sia, the Second Prince froze on the spot, watching the two walk away while discussing.
"Am I really a fool?" The Second Prince fell into deep self-doubt.
Seeing the Second Prince dazed on the spot, Captain Yang stepped forward and asked, "Second Prince, shall we go explore a new Dungeon Instance next?"
The Second Prince was already fuming at the sight of Captain Yang and Commander Ma. He cursed, "Go where? You and Old Ma go pass on my orders. From now on, collect this for this Prince!"
The Second Prince took out a Burning Demon's Invitation.
They had just learned from Grandis that what they had fought was indeed a Burning Demon's Abyss Party.
They also learned that after collecting Burning Demon's Invitations, they could exchange them with Grandis for Demon Breaking Stones to actively challenge the Abyss Party.
The Second Prince made up his mind; he had to get an epic equipment that he could use to drop for himself as well.
Captain Yang had no choice but to go with Commander Ma to contact people to buy invitations.
The Second Prince turned to Elder Shen and said, "Let's go to Kelli first to reinforce your totem."
At this time, Jian Wuxie and the other three had just bought gold coins from Dilan Peak and entered the Secret Realm. After completing the gold coin transaction, the four prepared to continue to the Dark Corridor.
As they passed the bulletin board, Jian Wuxie habitually glanced at it.
"Wait!" Jian Wuxie called out to the three, pointing at the bulletin board in shock: "Look!"
Several people looked up and saw that the current number one was actually Imperial Power Under Heaven. Quan Wudi's name had even disappeared, which surprised them greatly.
Xiao Hongyuan said urgently, "No, we have to hurry. There are less than two hours left before the event ends!"
Jian Wuxie cursed, "We just went out to buy some gold coins, and this Imperial Power Under Heaven actually overtook us directly. I wonder what their background is."
Quan Wudi said, "Oh, whatever, hurry up. Let's go to the Dark Corridor. Didn't you see I've even fallen off the rankings?"
The four jogged all the way and entered the Dungeon Instance.
Currently, Lin Chuan was talking with the Grand Elder in the Moonlight Tavern.
The Grand Elder said, "Lin Kid, your event is about to end. When it's over and people go outside the Secret Realm to collect their prizes, you, the designer of this Secret Realm, have to show your face."
Lin Chuan smiled bitterly and said, "Grand Elder, why should I join the commotion? Just let the top five go directly to Seria to collect them."
The Grand Elder sighed, "To tell you the truth, this is the Sect Head's intention. You don't know, many distinguished guests have come to the Spirit Realm Sect now. The Sect Head can't withstand the pressure; you must show your face."
Lin Chuan was even more reluctant after hearing this and quickly said, "You also know I'm just a mere Golden Core Realm. If I show my face now, won't there be danger?"
Hearing Lin Chuan say this, the Grand Elder thought to himself, "You Hidden Families just love to play the pig to eat the tiger. With your background, what danger could there be?"
Thinking of this, the Grand Elder stood up directly and said, "Regardless, go meet the Sect Head first and let him tell you personally."
Lin Chuan was helpless, knowing the Grand Elder couldn't make the final call. He could only follow the Grand Elder quietly out of the Secret Realm and toward the Sect Head's residence.
Arriving at the Sect Head's residence, the Grand Elder pushed the door open and entered. Lin Chuan followed behind him, walking at a leisurely pace.
Entering the room, he saw a handsome middle-aged man sitting at the table drinking tea, but he didn't see Sect Head Spiritual Void Master.
Lin Chuan asked curiously, "Who is this? Where is the Sect Head?"
To his surprise, the middle-aged man suddenly laughed and said, "Haha, Lin Kid, it's only been a few days, and you don't recognize me anymore?"
Hearing this, Lin Chuan curiously looked the man over carefully. Looking at those eyes and brows, he felt he had seen them somewhere before.
The man didn't interrupt Lin Chuan's contemplation, just looked at him with a smile.
After a moment, Lin Chuan seemed to have thought of something and asked with a look of horror, "You... you are the Sect Head?"
"Hahaha, that's right, it's me!" Spiritual Void Master laughed heartily.
"Sect Head, how did you become like this?" Lin Chuan was surprised.
"Hehe, we in the Soul Transformation realm can naturally change our appearance to how we looked when we advanced to the Nascent Soul at will. It's nothing strange."
"Alright, I suppose the Grand Elder already told you why I called you here?" Spiritual Void Master asked seriously.
Lin Chuan nodded but asked, "Sect Head, I wonder who has the highest cultivation among those currently at Tianquan Peak?"
Spiritual Void Master smiled and said, "It's Martial Wuling True Person from the Central State; his cultivation is currently that of a Void Refining Middle Stage powerhouse."
Hearing this, Lin Chuan quietly touched the no. 28 doll in his robe and felt a bit more at ease.
Seeing Lin Chuan's expression go from surprise to quickly calm, Spiritual Void Master nodded inwardly and thought, "This kid indeed seems extraordinary. Hearing the title of a Void Refining stage powerhouse, he actually calmed down so quickly. It seems the power behind him doesn't consider Void Refining to be much of a trouble."
Thinking of this, Spiritual Void Master said, "Little Lin, the reason you must come out to present the awards after this Secret Realm event ends is not for show, but because of other difficulties."
Lin Chuan asked curiously, "What difficulties? Can they be solved by me coming out to present the awards?"
Spiritual Void Master nodded. "The fact that your Secret Realm can increase cultivation just by leveling up is too shocking. Many people have become greedy, so we need to use the power behind you to suppress those ill-intentioned Cultivators."
"Sect Head, you're joking. What power do I have behind me?" Lin Chuan smiled bitterly.
"Oh, things have come to this; it's no longer possible for you not to expose the power behind you. Just take it as this old man begging you. I can't withstand this pressure anymore!" After saying that, Spiritual Void Master was about to get up and bow to Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan quickly stopped Spiritual Void Master's bow, touched the unused no. 28 doll in his robe again, and said helplessly, "In that case, I'll agree. There's no need for this, Sect Head."
Hearing Lin Chuan agree, Spiritual Void Master immediately said happily, "It's good that you agreed. Go prepare yourself. In an hour, we'll meet at Seria's place."
Lin Chuan nodded and was about to leave.
But then he was suddenly stopped by Spiritual Void Master again. He could only turn back and ask, "Does the Sect Head have anything else?"
With a wave of his hand, Spiritual Void Master changed into a very flashy green robe and asked Lin Chuan with a smile, "From a young person's perspective, tell me, how is my current look?"
Lin Chuan rolled his eyes speechlessly, then quickly gave Spiritual Void Master a thumbs up and said, "Very handsome!"
"Ah? Hahaha, that's good then, that's good. You may go." Spiritual Void Master waved his hand.
Lin Chuan and the Grand Elder left the room. He asked curiously, "Grand Elder, what's wrong with the Sect Head today?"
The Grand Elder sighed softly, looked up at the sky, and lamented, "What a fine season. Spring is here!"
After saying that, he walked away with his hands behind his back.
Lin Chuan looked up in confusion at the large tree in the courtyard full of withered yellow leaves and muttered to himself in bewilderment, "Isn't it already early autumn, damn it?"
