Lu Chen could be said to be an expert with great courage. He was able to remain calm under the circ.u.mstances just now, let alone facing a young man with strength no higher than middle Xuan grade!

Without any hesitation, Lu Chen stood up and pulled the doubtful He Qian along as he walked towards the private room.

She silently followed by Lu Chen's side. Although her worries were unavoidable, she believed that this man had the ability to handle whatever he wanted.

As for himself, he just needed to follow him silently and try his best not to cause too much trouble for him.

Even Lu Chen wasn't sure if he had some sort of special relations.h.i.+p with the Sima Family, or if he was cooperating with them to set a trap here to deal with him.

Currently, Lu Chen didn't care too much about the Sima Family's people.

He had expected that after this incident, no matter how arrogant the Sima family's people were, they would still stay silent for a while.

If these fellows continued to be stubborn and came to cause trouble for him, then he would not be courteous the next time.

There was a saying that when a soldier came, he should block; when water came, it should be earth.

When Guo Jingming arrived at the VIP booth on the second floor, he arranged for Lu Chen and He Qian to take seats.

"Mr. Lu and Mr. Lu, would you mind if I had some morning tea with you and had a chat with you?"

"But I'm not a person who likes to beat around the bush, so please be straightforward with what Mr. Guo has to say!"

"Otherwise, no matter how much more sumptuous the food is, I will still have something on my mind and not be willing to eat it."

Guo Jingming nodded his head, clearly agreeing with Lu Chen's point of view.

"Actually, I'm just a little curious as to which family Mr Lu is from. This method is really amazing."

"Of course, Mr Lu mustn't misunderstand. This is purely out of curiosity, and a very personal one at that. It has nothing to do with other people."

"However, if it's inconvenient for Mr Lu to answer, then there's no need to force it. Let's just treat it as us getting to know each other. "

Lu Chen wasn't worried in the slightest that he had tampered with the tea. He also picked up the teacup and took a sip before saying:

"Mr. Guo, I'm very sorry, but it's really inconvenient to tell you about my personal matters and my sect."

"Rather, I want to gain some experience and take the path of the heavens. At the same time, I want to acc.u.mulate some merits and also increase my own strength and knowledge."

"This is also my examination between my teacher and my master. If I fail this test, I will be punished upon my return."

Lu Chen chuckled and intentionally made up another story.

Even though the person in front of him said that he was just curious, listening to him talk like this was fine.

If nothing unexpected happened, his words would definitely come out from his mouth today.

However, to Lu Chen, this was what he really wanted.

He wanted the people in the Celestial Sect of Wonders to fear him and think that there was an extraordinary teacher and a mysterious sect with terrifying powers backing him up.

Her heart was still beating rapidly and she felt dizzy. It was as if she had yet to wake up from the kiss.

"So it's like that, then I'm really being bold. Since Mister Lu came here on the orders of his sect, why don't you partic.i.p.ate in the Profound Gate Great a.s.sembly's primary selection? "

"With your ability, you shouldn't have any match at all, right?"

"The preliminary contest of the Celestial Sect of Wonders?" Lu Chen looked suspiciously at He Qian, who was beside him. The oil collecting team Guo Jingming asked, "There should still be around ten days until the Profound Gate Gathering, right? Why is it ahead of time?"

As for the time that the Profound Gate Great a.s.sembly would begin, he had been calculating all this while and did not want to miss it.

Thinking about it for a while longer, coupled with the events that had occurred recently, Lu Chen was tired and running for his life. That was why he had completely forgotten about these matters.

At the very least, in Lu Chen's understanding, there was no such thing as a preliminaries.

While Lu Chen was a little surprised, Guo Jingming also felt a little strange.

It was because everyone was guessing whether Lu Chen, who had suddenly appeared, was really going to partic.i.p.ate in this compet.i.tion.

If it was just Lu Chen's martial prowess or his medical skills, then everything would be fine.

However, in such a short period of time, he had displayed all kinds of techniques. It was simply too astonis.h.i.+ng!

He seemed to know a bit about everything.

Not only was his medical skill impressive, but he also had quite a bit of experience in formations and runes. His research on the path of the soul was also unfathomable.

The most important thing was that even though his cultivation base was not high, the battle prowess he showed was astonis.h.i.+ng.

Although there were many different kinds of events in the compet.i.tion, there had never been anyone as monstrous as Lu Chen.

Many of those who had won the champions.h.i.+ps suddenly kept a low profile.

Because they really couldn't guarantee that they would be able to defeat Lu Chen in terms of strength.

This time, Lu Chen's appearance had completely disrupted everyone's plans.

"Eh …. "It's not too early. The first round of the Profound Gate Great a.s.sembly is actually just a compet.i.tion organized by the younger generation of the Celestial Sect of Wonders."

"Regardless of victory or defeat, this is only a spar. It will not affect the qualifications to partic.i.p.ate in the Profound Gate Great a.s.sembly."

"Just through this spar, each of you know your own limits."

"Those who are weaker will be able to forfeit from the compet.i.tion and partic.i.p.ate in the Grand Meeting of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. This is equivalent to saving time. "

"However, this year's compet.i.tion was set up in the Karakorum, so many of the younger generations do not need to go anywhere. It would be much more convenient to head directly to the Karakorum Savant's tunnel."
