"My subordinates dare not ask about the affairs of the guardian elders."
In response to Lu Chen's question, the two guards shook their heads repeatedly and were unable to answer.
"Okay, you continue to be on duty, don't worry about other things."
Lu Chen had already entered the old building and went up the stairs to the second floor.
There are two rooms on the second floor. The door of one room is open, but no one is inside; the door of the other room is covered but not completely closed, so it is obvious that someone is inside.
Lu Chen walked over and gently pushed open the door. He saw Miao Shi sitting in front of an immortal table, with his back facing the door and looking out the window.
Miao Shi didn't know what he was thinking. He stared blankly at the sky outside the window, his eyes dull and defenseless. He didn't even know Lu Chen sat next to him.
"well……"
Suddenly, Miao Shi sighed and turned around, only to find that there was another person beside him. He was so frightened that he jumped up on the spot.
"What the hell?"
Lu Chen smiled.
"No!"
Miao Shi's face was blue and his lips were white. He subconsciously responded like this, obviously he hadn't recovered yet.
"Are you afraid of me?"
Lu Chen asked again.
"No!"
Miao Shi gasped and rubbed his chest, his spirit gradually returning.
"Then why are you so scared?"
Lu Chen chuckled.
"Deputy... deputy sect master... you suddenly appeared next to your subordinates and almost scared them to death?"
Miao Shi grimaced and finally regained his consciousness.
"The master of the Three Flowers Gathering, without entering the state of cultivation, actually has no defense, and even the induction power has disappeared. What on earth are you doing?"
Lu Chen looked at Miao Shi and said angrily, "If it wasn't me but the enemy who came, your head would be moved now."
"My subordinates made mistakes, please punish me, deputy sect leader."
Hearing this, Miao Shi broke out in cold sweat on his forehead and quickly stood up to salute.
"Punishment is nothing. I'm not here to inspect the situation. I'm here to chat with you. You don't have to be so serious. You should just sit down and talk."
Lu Chen smiled.
"I just want you to stand, so you can better listen to the deputy sect leader's teachings."
Miao Shi shook his head and said so.
"Whatever you want."
Lu Chen knew that Miao Shi didn't dare to sit on an equal footing with him due to status issues, so he didn't force himself and went directly to the topic, "I just came up to look around and didn't see the two guardian elders. Where have they gone?"
"Elder Protector?"
After hearing Lu Chen's inquiry, Miao Shi's eyes widened. Unexpectedly, Lu Chen came up and hit the point directly.
He was thinking deeply before, knowing that he was already disliked by Lu Chen for always disturbing Lu Chen's practice, and it was estimated that Lu Chen would never trust him again.
Moreover, he will continue to disturb Lu Chen, continue to monitor Lu Chen's whereabouts, and continue to be hated by Lu Chen. His future in the Dan Palace will be worrying, and he no longer knows what to do.
Lu Chen suddenly came to the camp and suddenly appeared next to him. He thought Lu Chen was here to punish him, and he was already ready to accept the punishment.
But he never expected that Lu Shenti didn't mention any punishment, nor did he yell at him, but he actually cared about the two guardian elders. This was the most important thing.
The two guardian elders were his immediate superiors. How dare he betray them?
But Lu Chen is the deputy sect leader and the superior of his immediate superior, so he doesn’t dare to offend him.
"Yes, the two guardian elders were sent by the sect master to protect me. They should be stationed here instead of leaving without a trace!"
Lu Chen stared at Miao Shi, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Don't tell me, you don't know their whereabouts, right?"
"Subordinate...subordinate...subordinate..."
Miao Shi frowned and stammered, not knowing what he was talking about.
"The two guardian elders have left their posts without permission. If I report it to the sect master, they may not be able to survive and walk away without permission."
Lu Chen saw that Miao Shi was not honest, so he simply carried the sect leader up and threatened him directly, but Miao Shi refused to obey.
"Deputy Sect Master, please do not report this matter to the Sect Master, otherwise the two guardian elders will suffer the consequences."
Miao Shi was a little anxious and didn't care about so much anymore, so he told the truth, "The thing is like this, the two guardian elders were originally stationed here, but the environment of this old building is poor and there are many people, so it is not suitable
They practice quietly, so..."
"So, they left quietly and went back to practice?"
Lu Chen asked back.
"Yes!"
Miao Shi nodded and explained like this, "But please don't worry, deputy sect leader, it's the same even if I'm here. This is a heavily guarded Dan Palace, and the sect master is here to guard it. People from the Broken Dragon Alliance can't get in, and they don't dare to get in."
.”
"You'd better tell me honestly, should the two guardian elders go back to their own place to practice, or should they quietly go to another place to practice?"
Lu Chen's expression was serious, and he said seriously, "I am a master of storytelling. If you make up a story for me, I will know as soon as you hear it, and you and the two guardian chiefs will be severely punished."
"Deputy sect master, please calm down. I don't dare to lie to you. I will tell you the truth."
Miao Shi knew that at this point, he could no longer hide it from Lu Chen and had to tell the truth, "The two guardian elders did not go back, but found a quiet place to practice nearby, which was very close to the North Courtyard.
As long as there is any disturbance in the North Courtyard, the two guardian elders will know immediately and can quickly arrive for support."
"Then what?"
Lu Chen asked.
"What then?"
Miao Shi was stunned for a moment and did not react to Lu Shenwei's inconsistent inquiry.
"Miao Shi, you fought side by side with me and accompanied me through life and death. I already regard you as one of my own, but there are some things you'd better not pretend to be deaf and dumb, don't hide from me, and don't force me to quarrel with you."
Lu Chen spoke seriously, with a strong sense of oppression.
"Deputy Sect Master, you are referring to my disturbing your retreat, right?"
Miao Shi had something in his mind, so he had to speak cautiously, but his forehead was very weak, and big beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead.
"Be honest, why did you do this? I know you didn't do it to monitor my whereabouts, but for other reasons. As long as you tell me, I won't blame you."
Lu Chen stared at Miao Shi with sharp eyes, the pressure became even stronger, as if he could see through Miao Shi's mind.
"Deputy sect leader, actually monitoring your whereabouts is one of the important reasons. Otherwise, how would my subordinates dare to knowingly disturb your practice? They would be seeking death."
Miao Shi was so stared at by Lu Chen that he finally had a mental breakdown and had to confess honestly, "When the two guardian elders left, they told their subordinates to see you every once in a while to make sure you are still in the North Courtyard, otherwise
You don’t know when you left, and we can’t explain it to the sect master.”
"Is this the bad idea of the guardian elder?"
Lu Chen asked back.
"It's the idea of the two guardian elders. They both agree."
