Chapter 3876 Entering the Palace
These two elders were the two who participated in the competition for Yunhu Tianchi and ended up being defeated miserably. Despite the liveliness they just said, in fact, deep down, they were still very afraid of Su Chen.
Not only was Su Chen stronger than them, but he was also highly respected by the sect master, and they couldn't afford to offend him.
"Haha, Elder Su, long time no see."
"Elder Su, that was just a joke, don't take it to heart. In fact, we all know that you are a decent person, and our sect leader is also a decent person."
Both elders had smiles on their faces.
If it were normal times, Su Chen would have slapped them all.
But at this moment, I am about to attend the meeting. It is better to have less to worry about than to have more to worry about. Let’s leave these two people alone for the time being.
"How is it appropriate to make noises here in the middle of the night?"
Su Chen frowned, with a scolding tone.
"Well, Elder Su, do you know where the sect master is? We are leaving tomorrow. Logically speaking, we should get together tonight to explain things. Why hasn't the sect master shown up yet?"
An elder asked quickly.
"Sect Master? Something went wrong in her cultivation. She has been in seclusion in a pure place. She probably won't be able to come out in a short time."
Su Chen said calmly.
"Ah? What about setting off tomorrow?"
The elders were all stunned.
"Before the sect master retreated, he told me that I will lead the team. Except for the sect master's absence, the other quotas remain unchanged. Okay, it's late at night, everyone has a rest and we will gather early tomorrow morning."
Su Chen was too lazy to talk nonsense and left directly, leaving them behind.
The elders looked at each other, not fully digesting the news for a while. Why did the sect leader retreat at this time?
It sounds like something went wrong in cultivation and I had to retreat? real or fake?
Although they were full of doubts, Su Chen had already left and it was impossible for them to pursue him and ask.
No matter what the situation was, they had no choice but to accept it. Fortunately, the absence of the sect leader did not seem to affect their attendance at the meeting.
Early the next morning, the Tianlei Sect team arrived at the gathering point of Yunhu Hou Mansion.
When the people from Yunhuhou Mansion were counting the number of people, they found that one person was missing from Tianlei Sect as expected.
"Where is the Qin Master of your Tianlei Sect? Don't you know the departure time of Yunhu Hou Mansion? The time has come, but you haven't come yet?"
The elder who was counting people frowned and asked.
Su Chen replied calmly: "Elder, Master Qin has been in seclusion a few months ago due to some problems with his cultivation. I'm afraid she won't be able to make it to the meeting this time."
It doesn't matter if there are less people.
If more people are requested, Yunhu Hou Mansion will never agree. Because each sect has a fixed quota, there must not be any extra people.
As for the situation where the quota is not full, the Hou Mansion will not care that much.
"Are you sure you won't come?"
The elder asked with a frown.
"Sure."
Su Chen nodded.
"Well, then take back the quota and give it to other people in the Hou family."
The elder said calmly.
"That's how it should be."
Su Chen looked as usual and responded calmly.
This small setback did not have any impact. The other three elders of Tianlei Sect were relieved when they saw that the Hou Mansion did not hold him back.
As for whether Qin Yan would go or not, they didn't really care. Anyway, there was no loss for them if Qin Yan didn't go.
The elder of Yunhuhou Mansion went up and told Yunhuhou about the Tianlei Sect. Yunhuhou was slightly surprised and asked someone to call Su Chen over.
"Elder Su, why haven't I heard you mention the matter of Master Qin's retreat?"
Marquis Yunhu stared at Su Chen with a somewhat inquiring look.
"Clan Master Qin said that there is no need to alarm other people about this trivial matter, so he won't let me publicize it. Mr. Marquis, it shouldn't matter if there is one less person, right?"
Su Chen smiled.
"Is it really a retreat?"
Marquis Yunhu's tone became slightly more serious.
"That's exactly what she said."
Su Chen nodded.
Marquis Yunhu looked leisurely in the direction of Yunhu Tianchi, and suddenly sighed: "I hope she is really in retreat. This girl is a little too thoughtful sometimes."
"Okay, Elder Su, go back to your own team. When it comes to the meeting, remember to talk less and watch more."
Marquis Yunhu gave Su Chen a few casual instructions and asked him to leave.
Su Chen returned to the Tianlei Sect team and thought about the expression and tone of Marquis Yunhu. He vaguely felt that Marquis Yunhu might have noticed something and was suspicious of Qin Yan.
However, Marquis Yunhu must not have thought that Qin Yan was going to save Emperor Yuan
