Chapter 447 Ruoruo is missing
Elder Lei looked at Yun Chen with a complex expression, a mixture of relief and helplessness.
A faint hint of appreciation seemed to flash across Elder Ling Shuang's icy face.
Upon hearing Yun Chen's straightforward and firm rejection, Leng Hanyue's astonishment and embarrassment gradually faded, replaced by an indescribable complex emotion. She gave Yun Chen a deep look before lowering her eyes again.
Mu Bingyun's fingers tightened slightly as she held the teacup, her knuckles turning somewhat white.
She clearly hadn't expected Yun Chen to refuse so decisively and completely, leaving no room for negotiation.
She gazed at Yun Chen, and for the first time, the image of this young cultivator was clearly reflected in her deep, cold eyes—stubborn, resolute, yet loyal and righteous.
After a long while, she suddenly chuckled softly, but there was no warmth in her laughter.
"Good, very good. What a wonderful expression of being devoted to one person."
She put down her teacup, stood up, and her light blue skirt swept across the ground like flowing water: "Since you have made up your mind, I will not force you."
Her gaze swept over Elder Lei, finally landing on Yun Chen: "I can still tell you about your master's whereabouts."
"Really?" Yun Chen's eyes lit up immediately.
Why would I lie to you?
Mu Bingyun smiled and said, "Your master... she has now become a disciple of the Chaoyin Pavilion. She is now my personal disciple, so strictly speaking, you should call me Grandmaster."
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Chen was immediately taken aback.
Mu Bingyun smiled, said nothing more, and turned to walk out of the pavilion.
Elder Ling Shuang immediately followed.
Leng Hanyue hesitated for a moment, then paused slightly as she passed Yun Chen, quickly saying in a voice only the two of them could hear, "What Master said is true."
He then lowered his head and quickly followed his master.
In the blink of an eye, the three from Chaoyin Pavilion disappeared into the night.
Inside the pavilion, only Yun Chen and Elder Lei remained, and the atmosphere became somewhat tense.
The moonlight streamed through the window, illuminating the ever-changing expressions on Yun Chen's face with crystal clarity.
Shock, bewilderment, disbelief... ultimately transformed into a profound sense of complexity.
Master... joined the Chaoyin Pavilion?
He even became Mu Bingyun's personal disciple?
The news was so sudden that he couldn't process it for a while.
"Master has become a disciple of the Chaoyin Pavilion? How is that possible?"
Elder Lei frowned as he looked at Yun Chen. He stepped forward, patted Yun Chen's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Boy, now is not the time to think nonsense. Since Mu Bingyun said that your master has joined the Chaoyin Pavilion, it is not a bad thing. At least she will not be in danger."
"The most important thing right now is tomorrow's qualifying match. You must stay calm, go all out, and try to get first place in the qualifying match."
Yun Chen was pulled back to reality by Elder Lei's words. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
Elder Lei is right, the most important thing right now is the ranking competition.
As for Master, since Leng Hanyue said that what Mu Bingyun said was true, it is highly likely to be true.
Although the reason is unknown, it's not a bad thing.
"By the way, Elder Lei, Senior Sister Bai is injured and unconscious."
Yun Chen suddenly thought of something and quickly spoke up.
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Lei's expression changed drastically. He stood up and hurriedly asked, "What exactly happened? What's going on?"
He hadn't seen Bai Qingluo in the morning, and now that she had reappeared, she was injured and unconscious.
Most importantly, even he couldn't do anything to Bai Qingluo, let alone this Taixu Palace, within the Dao lineage, who could hurt her?
"I don't know, but..."
Yun Chen thought for a moment and then truthfully recounted what he had planned last night and what had happened when he met Bai Qingluo today.
Upon hearing this, Elder Lei immediately stood up: "Come on, take me to see."
Whoever could injure Bai Qingluo must be a force to be reckoned with.
This matter must be taken seriously.
Yun Chen nodded, then hurriedly led Elder Lei back to Zixiao Garden.
As soon as he entered the garden, Yun Chen sensed something unusual.
The garden was eerily quiet; even the chirping of insects had disappeared.
"Something's wrong!"
Yun Chen let out a low shout, his figure suddenly accelerated, and he instantly swept across the courtyard and rushed out of the quiet room.
At the entrance to the quiet room, Liu Yanran and Shen Nan, who should have been guarding the place, were both lying on the ground, unconscious.
Their faces were pale, and their breaths were weak.
"Senior Sister Liu, Senior Brother Shen."
Yun Chen was shocked and immediately went forward to check. He found that the two were only unconscious and had not died, but there was a faint trace of cold aura remaining in their bodies.
Elder Lei followed closely behind. Upon seeing this scene, his face instantly turned ashen. A powerful divine sense swept across the entire Zixiao Garden like a storm, especially the quiet room in front of him.
The door to the quiet room was ajar, and there was no sound coming from inside.
Yun Chen suddenly pushed open the door—
The room was completely empty!
Bai Qingluo, who should have been lying in bed recovering from her injuries, was nowhere to be found.
What made Yun Chen feel even more as if he had fallen into an ice cave was that when he quickly scanned the corner, the soft couch that originally belonged to Zhao Xiruo was now also empty.
Senior Sister Bai and Ruoruo... have both disappeared?
"How could this be?"
Yun Chen felt a chill run down his spine and straight to the top of his head, and his mind even went blank for a moment.
Everything was fine before I left, how could something like this happen so soon?
This is the Taixu Palace. Who would dare to arrest people so blatantly?
Elder Lei stepped into the meditation room, his sharp gaze sweeping over every corner. The faint energy fluctuations remaining in the air made him frown.
"There are traces of spatial fluctuations! Very faint, but very subtle... The other party used a high-level teleportation artifact or talisman!"
Elder Lei's voice was deep, containing suppressed anger.
"Who on earth dares to plot against a disciple of my Divine Thunder Palace?"
"Let's go see Senior Sister Liu and Senior Brother Shen first; maybe they know something."
Yun Chen forced himself to calm down, turned around and ran towards the door.
Elder Lei followed closely behind, his expression grave as he examined the two men's condition.
"They were under some kind of mind-control spell, their minds were disturbed, but their lives were not in danger."
Elder Lei said in a deep voice, a gentle lightning light emanating from his palm as he pressed it against the foreheads of the two men: "I will first try to awaken them with the Mind-Cleansing Lightning Spell, and perhaps I can get some clues out of them."
Pure and peaceful lightning power slowly flowed in, dispelling the cold mist that lingered in their minds.
A moment later, Liu Yanran let out a soft moan, her eyelashes fluttering as she slowly opened her eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Nan also groaned and woke up.
