Chapter 250: Chen An, You’re So Annoying
He?
The girl’s words caused several people’s gazes to fall on the young man who was pretending to sleep with lowered eyes.
00:00:07.320 –> 00:00:08.980
In the next moment, the same thought arose in everyone’s hearts.
00:00:09.570 –> 00:00:11.320
This young man… is truly handsome.
00:00:11.910 –> 00:00:14.680
Unlike the other participants who were full of fighting spirit, the young man’s sleeping face on the bamboo chair looked very peaceful.
00:00:15.300 –> 00:00:19.060
If Lin Jingqiu hadn’t spoken up, people might have subconsciously ignored his existence, as his appearance was far from what someone about to enter a secret realm should look like.
00:00:19.650 –> 00:00:22.190
Senior Brother Chang frowned, cast a spell, and looked intently a few times.
00:00:22.790 –> 00:00:25.560
However, what deepened his confusion was that he couldn’t see any spiritual energy fluctuations from the young man.
00:00:26.200 –> 00:00:27.090
Strange…
00:00:27.590 –> 00:00:32.170
Although he couldn’t understand it, he nodded, thinking that it was after all arranged by Peak Master Luo, and didn’t say anything more.
00:00:32.610 –> 00:00:35.890
He was not a disciple of Fourth Peak and was not familiar with Luo Cong’an, so he didn’t know this young man’s background.
00:00:36.310 –> 00:00:38.630
Naturally, he wouldn’t rashly go up and ask questions.
00:00:39.050 –> 00:00:43.060
He spoke earlier because he wanted to at least take care of his junior sister and, moreover, his own team had a female disciple from Fourth Peak.
00:00:43.590 –> 00:00:45.970
Thinking of this, he quietly retreated a few steps and whispered to Zheng Qing.
00:00:46.560 –> 00:00:48.580
“Junior Sister Zheng, is this really your Master’s arrangement?”
00:00:49.130 –> 00:00:52.590
Zheng Qing shook her head slightly, “I don’t know, but since Xiaoqiu said so, it must be true.”
00:00:52.990 –> 00:00:54.750
She paused, not revealing her guess.
00:00:55.150 –> 00:00:58.550
She had actually seen the young man before, and it was by her Master’s side.
00:00:58.930 –> 00:01:02.100
Judging by her Master’s attitude towards the young man at that time, it was definitely not the attitude towards a junior.
00:01:02.830 –> 00:01:05.600
Then, the mountaintop returned to silence, with only occasional whispers drifting in the wind.
00:01:06.040 –> 00:01:10.010
The secret realm was no small matter; it was the first large-scale event held publicly since the spiritual energy revival.
00:01:10.360 –> 00:01:14.180
Whether it was the elders observing from the shadows or the disciples participating, all showed utmost importance.
00:01:14.630 –> 00:01:17.730
Therefore, the combination of a certain young man and young girl seemed a bit out of place.
00:01:18.300 –> 00:01:22.980
Sensing the gazes from all directions, Lin Jingqiu squatted beside the bamboo chair again and whispered, “Chen An, they’re all looking at us. Is it inappropriate for us to be like this?”
00:01:23.400 –> 00:01:26.460
Actually, she wanted to say that he shouldn’t continue to be so willful, but perhaps knowing his personality, she didn’t say it directly.
00:01:27.170 –> 00:01:28.910
“They’re not looking at you, they’re looking at me.”
00:01:29.280 –> 00:01:30.530
Chen An glanced at her and corrected him casually.
00:01:31.090 –> 00:01:33.010
The girl glared back upon hearing this, puffed up her cheeks, and waved her little fists.
00:01:33.710 –> 00:01:34.940
“Chen An, you’re so annoying.”
00:01:35.410 –> 00:01:36.650
She said indignantly.
00:01:37.050 –> 00:01:40.760
Of course, her toughness didn’t last long. She soon softened and began to gently massage the young man’s legs.
00:01:41.170 –> 00:01:44.030
She whispered, “Chen An, you must not leave me behind later, okay…”
00:01:44.450 –> 00:01:47.310
Her tone was inexplicably delicate, even a bit affected, and even she couldn’t help but blush.
00:01:47.760 –> 00:01:51.500
This scene, falling into the eyes of Senior Brother Chang not far away, made his brows furrow even deeper.
00:01:51.930 –> 00:01:55.440
In his opinion, no matter what, he shouldn’t make his junior sister do such a thing.
01:04:38.260 –> 01:04:41.310
Under everyone’s eager anticipation, after waiting for about ten more minutes, seeing that all the scheduled people had arrived, the Celestial Master responsible from Mount Longhu cleared his throat, attracting the attention of these Heavenly prodigies from various sects.
01:04:41.900 –> 01:04:45.540
Without further discussing the glorious history of the Lingxu Secret Realm, his expression turned solemn. He wielded his spiritual energy and activated the wooden wheel that served as a “key.”
01:04:46.100 –> 01:04:49.780
The wheel was engraved with patterns of the sun, moon, and stars, arranged in order, and was slowly rotating with a peculiar rhythm.
01:04:50.250 –> 01:04:54.560
He announced loudly, “According to our sect’s ancient texts, the time flow in the secret realm is different from the outside world. One day outside is equivalent to two days in the secret realm, but the cultivation gained within will not decrease.”
01:04:55.130 –> 01:04:59.510
The Celestial Master’s words immediately invigorated those who had been waiting for a long time.
01:04:59.970 –> 01:10:33.510
As expected of Mount Longhu, one of the sacred lands, their offerings were extraordinary. Just hearing about this first benefit, entering would definitely not be a loss. The current spiritual energy revival has just begun, and time is the most lacking resource. Often, being one step ahead means being ahead in every step. But the following words quickly pulled them away from their pleasant fantasies.
01:10:33.830 –> 01:10:40.100
“However, the time you can spend inside each time cannot exceed three days, meaning you can stay in the Lingxu Secret Realm for a maximum of six days before you must exit. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
01:10:40.500 –> 01:10:42.860
Upon hearing this, the crowd did not rush to speak, but their eyes inquired.
01:10:43.340 –> 01:10:51.110
He didn’t keep them in suspense and explained, “This is because after the secret realm opens, the sun and moon will invert every seven days. At that time, everything within the secret realm will tend towards chaos. If you cannot be teleported out in time, you will be affected by the secret realm, resulting in mental derangement at best, or annihilation of consciousness and assimilation into something within the secret realm, such as a plant or a fierce beast, at worst!”
01:10:51.750 –> 01:10:55.020
As his voice fell, there was an uproar.
01:10:55.450 –> 01:10:58.620
A certain girl, already panicking, widened her eyes even further and kept shaking the young man’s arm beside her.
01:10:59.000 –> 01:11:00.630
She called out softly, trembling nervously.
01:11:01.240 –> 01:11:02.540
“Chen An…”
01:11:03.070 –> 01:11:06.290
The young man did not show annoyance at being disturbed, he just froze for a moment, finding her frightened appearance very familiar.
01:11:06.860 –> 01:11:08.890
So he reached out and gently stroked the girl’s head.
01:11:09.450 –> 01:11:11.020
His voice softened as he comforted her, “Don’t be afraid.”
01:11:11.440 –> 01:11:15.420
He didn’t explain why she shouldn’t be afraid, nor did he give any strong guarantees.
01:11:15.740 –> 01:11:17.570
Even his tone was so light and airy, but Lin Jingqiu felt inexplicably much more at ease upon hearing it.
01:11:18.130 –> 01:11:20.310
She obediently hummed and stopped talking.
01:11:20.720 –> 01:11:24.980
Actually, if it were just her alone, she wouldn’t have been so pathetic. But having someone to rely on, she couldn’t help but want his affirmation.
01:11:25.570 –> 01:11:30.140
Ahead, the voice paused. After everyone had taken a moment to process, he continued, “But you don’t need to worry too much. According to our sect’s ancient texts, as long as you act within your capabilities, there have never been any casualties of this kind.”
01:11:30.710 –> 01:11:35.540
“Now, after so many years, the secret realm has its own cycle, endless and self-sustaining, but no one knows the actual situation. So, do not let down your guard, and always prioritize caution.”
01:11:36.040 –> 01:11:38.660
“As for what you obtain in the secret realm, our sect will not take a single cent; it all depends on your opportunities.”
01:11:39.180 –> 01:11:43.100
Upon hearing this, a low voice sounded from behind Chang Hao.
01:11:43.560 –> 01:11:47.010
“Tsk, it sounds nice, but it’s only because we’re not strong enough to get any good stuff.”
01:11:47.440 –> 01:11:49.640
Chang Hao turned his head and frowned. The speaker immediately shut their mouth, daring not to say more.
01:11:50.270 –> 01:11:51.270
“Hush.”
01:11:52.120 –> 01:11:54.990
He reprimanded, then continued to focus on the front.
01:11:55.690 –> 01:12:00.370
After a while, when all that needed to be said had been said, the patterns on the wheel slightly solidified, materializing into streams of light that shot towards the participants present.
01:12:00.880 –> 01:12:04.730
“This item is the teleportation talisman. After you enter the secret realm, if you encounter danger, you only need to infuse a trace of spiritual energy to exit safely.”
