Chapter 366

687, Home in danger, return quickly!

"Next, let's go directly back to the ancient kingdom," after leaving the valley, Yan Qian suddenly said.

His words also made everyone in the team pause slightly.

"Hmm, this is indeed the best choice," the first to respond was Yan Zhen; although he really wanted Yan Qinyun to stay for a few more days, after all, this was the first time she had returned after marrying into the ancient kingdom.

It was just that Yan Zhen also understood Yan Qian's concerns.

If so many things hadn't happened in this trial inheritance, then perhaps staying in the Holy See for a few more days wouldn't have been impossible for Yan Qian and the others.

But it was a pity that after a series of events and changes in the Burial Grounds, it was hard to say what kind of development would follow.

Even if it seemed now that the Pope didn't have any malice toward them, who knew if the other party would change his mind temporarily after a long time?

Lu Li's performance was simply too dazzling; even if it was Yan Zhen, he had to admit that at the very least, within the Flame Spirit Sect, there were no newcomers of the same age and generation who could compare to Lu Li.

As for expanding to the entire Holy See, I'm afraid that in the entire new generation, there were no Magic Card Masters who had the strength to challenge Lu Li.

It could be said that Lu Li was a presence at the fault-line level.

Especially now, Lu Li had also obtained the top-tier twin inheritance in the Burial Grounds, and after his talent and potential were further stimulated, Yan Zhen didn't dare to think about what kind of growth Lu Li would have after digesting this harvest.

Therefore, continuing to stay in the Holy See was not a good thing for Yan Qian and the others, nor for Lu Li; it was equivalent to disguisedly increasing the degree of danger they were bearing.

Lan Xiatong, Ying Wan, and others also thought of this point, so they didn't say much, which could be considered as defaulting to the words of Yan Qian and Yan Zhen.

"Perhaps, we need to set off a bit later," however, not everyone was like this, and Lu Li happened to be an exception.

"What do you mean, Lu Li?" Hearing Lu Li's words, Yan Qian couldn't help but frown, and the gazes of others looking at him were also full of incomprehension.

"His Holiness the Pope once communicated with me privately that he had something to talk to me about after the trial inheritance ended," Lu Li didn't hide this from others; anyway, the people here were basically trustworthy.

Moreover, there was indeed no need to hide this matter; once the Pope came, others would know, so it was better to greet them in advance so they could be prepared.

"His Holiness the Pope once looked for you privately?" Everyone was hearing this for the first time, and their expressions could be described as very wonderful.

"Was it when you were distracted just now?" It was Yan Yuexin who thought of the conversation in the valley in an instant.

It was just that she hadn't expected that the abnormality of Lu Li she noticed was because of the private communication between the other party and the Pope.

"Hmm," nodding, Lu Li continued: "I can feel that His Holiness the Pope doesn't seem to have any malice."

This statement was actually very ethereal and didn't have any real feeling, but if Lu Li wasn't lying to them, then they indeed couldn't leave the Holy See for the time being.

Of course, Yan Qian and the others could also leave Lu Li behind and take others away; after all, the Pope's target was only Lu Li, not the rest of them.

It was just that Yan Qian absolutely couldn't do such a thing; if he really did that, after returning to the ancient kingdom, he wouldn't know how to explain it to the Night Queen.

Before setting off, he had patted his chest and promised to bring Lu Li back to the ancient kingdom safely. If he ran away leaving Lu Li behind now, that would be breaking his promise to others.

"Then, did His Holiness the Pope mention to you what he was looking for you for?" Although Lu Li said he didn't feel any malice from the Pope, Yan Qian felt that they couldn't just do nothing to prepare; that would make them look very passive.

Of course, facing a Supreme Realm powerhouse, this was actually the most passive.

If they could know the Pope's intentions one step earlier, then they wouldn't be so passive.

"Regarding this, I don't know either; His Holiness the Pope only proposed to talk to me after the trial inheritance ended," Lu Li shook his head: "As for what to talk about, the other party didn't say."

"Is that so?" Regarding this, although Yan Qian and Lan Xiatong felt it was a pity, they could still guess that after all, the other party was a Supreme Realm powerhouse and didn't need to give too many explanations at all.

Even if Lu Li didn't agree to this point proposed by the Pope, the other party could still come knocking on his door directly; this was the privilege brought by absolute strength.

It was just a pity that this wasn't very friendly to Yan Qian and Yan Zhen; there was too little intelligence, and even if they wanted to guess, they had no way to do so.

"Hmm? It seems we need to speed up our return," Ying Wan interrupted the conversation of the few, and her expression now became very subtle.

Just now, her personal terminal received a message, and this message came from within the Flame Spirit Sect, sent by the third-in-command who was responsible for guarding the Flame Spirit Sect after Yan Zhen and she left.

The message wasn't much, not even ten words, but it was very concise and clear.

Return quickly, His Holiness the Pope is here.

"It seems His Holiness the Pope is even more anxious than us," hearing Ying Wan's words, Yan Qinyun couldn't help but rub her head, feeling that this trip back to her maiden home was much more exciting than imagined.

"Anxious?" Hearing this metaphor from Yan Qinyun, Yan Zhen suddenly had a thought in his heart. Combined with a certain guess in the valley, Yan Zhen felt that he seemed to have vaguely guessed the Pope's intention.

"Old man Yan Zhen, did you think of something?" Noticing Yan Zhen's expression, Yan Qian said: "If you thought of something, it's best to say it now."

"I indeed thought of the possibility of why the Pope would look for Lu Li alone," Yan Zhen's expression became very serious: "But before that, I need you to answer me a question; this relates to the accuracy of my guess."

"That depends on what question you are asking," Yan Zhen's expression was very serious, which made Yan Qian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "As long as it's not too sensitive a question, I can give you an answer."

After all, it related to the intentions of a Supreme Realm powerhouse; as long as what Yan Zhen asked wasn't a particularly outrageous and sensitive topic, Yan Qian didn't mind answering the other party.

"Then, is Lu Li an original Magic Card producer of this generation?" Taking a deep breath, Yan Zhen spoke slowly.

688, Is the Pope also going to take Lu Li?

Original Magic Card producer, almost the moment Yan Zhen said these seven words, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically.

Clearly, no matter who it was, they didn't expect Yan Zhen to throw out such a question at this time.

Even Yan Qian, who was prepared, was the same.

"It seems my previous guess was not wrong." Even without the reply of Yan Qian, Lan Xiatong, and others, just seeing their expressions, Yan Zhen had already obtained the answer he wanted.

Although he had guessed it before, after really getting a positive answer, Yan Zhen still felt his heart beating fiercely.

The original Magic Card producer of this era actually appeared in front of him and participated in this session's trial inheritance of the Burial Grounds as one of the representatives of the Flame Spirit Sect!

Even, in the future, the other party might have a relative relationship with him; just thinking about it was exciting enough.

However, such a big thing, Yan Qinyun actually kept it...

"Actually an original Magic Card producer? No wonder he had such a performance." Ying Wan also noticed the change in Yan Qian and the others' expressions, but she also didn't expect this.

After all, just looking at the performance of the Magic Card spirit, there was no way to distinguish between original Magic Card spirits and conventional Magic Card spirits.

To determine whether a Magic Card Master was an original Magic Card spirit producer, there was only one point, and that was to see the entire process of this Magic Card Master producing Magic Cards.

Only when a creation pillar appeared in the entire process of producing Magic Cards could one be 100% certain that the other party was an original Magic Card producer.

Otherwise, one could only guess at most.

"In this way, many things can be explained clearly." It wasn't that it could really be explained clearly, but losing to an original Magic Card producer sounded much more impressive than losing to a Magic Card Master from the ancient kingdom.

It could also be considered as preserving face for the Holy See.

"You are an original Magic Card producer?" Among the people present, except for Yan Zhen and Ying Wan, the only one who knew until now that Lu Li was an original Magic Card producer was Yan Yuexin.

The young lady was staring at Lu Li in a daze, scenes from the past surging in her mind.

Why she had no impression of Lu Li's Magic Card spirits; why the Night Queen recruited new students again in such a short interval; why Yan Qian and Lan Xiatong said that she didn't lose unjustly back then; it turned out to be for this reason!

Original Magic Card producer, Yan Yuexin had naturally heard of it, but the young lady hadn't expected that such a special Magic Card Master who would only appear once every thousand years would actually appear by her side.

Even, she had actually established a twin inheritance relationship with the other party.

For a moment, Yan Yuexin felt her head couldn't turn around, and she directly crashed on the spot.

Seeing Yan Yuexin's cute dazed expression, Lu Li couldn't help but reach out and poke the other party's smiling face; this girl was quite fun.

"Woo! Stop playing!" The warmth on her little face made Yan Yuexin come back to her senses; the young lady slapped away Lu Li's hand and pouted her little mouth.

This bastard, even if he was an original Magic Card producer, he was still a bastard!

"Lu Li is an original Magic Card producer, what does that have to do with His Holiness the Pope looking for him?" Not denying it, their expressions just now explained everything; Yan Qian wanted to know more about what the connection was between the two.

Moreover, the Pope didn't guess that Lu Li was an original Magic Card producer like Yan Zhen; the other party had known this point all along.

"Specifically, it's not convenient for me to disclose," Yan Zhen shook his head: "But there is one point you can be at ease, and that is that His Holiness the Pope looking for Lu Li this time might not be a bad thing."

"Even, for Lu Li, this might very likely be a good thing." After all, this involved the Pope's secrets; even Yan Zhen had no way to disclose more relevant information.

Not only because this was just his guess, but more importantly, he didn't know much information about this aspect, so he couldn't give more useful information.

"Old man Yan, are you trying to make fun of us?" Yan Qian's face collapsed; if the time wasn't inappropriate, he would have wanted to have a real-life fight with the other party.

"What's the point of me making fun of you?" Yan Zhen rolled his eyes in annoyance: "Don't forget, His Holiness is now in the Flame Spirit Sect."

After speaking, Yan Zhen patted the Cold Cloud Sparrow under him, letting this Magic Card spirit speed up its return to the Flame Spirit Sect.

Seeing this, Yan Qian and Lan Xiatong looked at each other, also helpless; Yan Zhen clearly made up his mind not to disclose any news.

They only hoped that the other party didn't deceive them just now.

……

"His Holiness the Pope!" As time passed, Yan Zhen and Yan Qian and others returned to the Holy See in a very short time, and in the Flame Spirit Holy Temple, the Pope's figure was already waiting there.

"Back?" Sweeping a glance at everyone, the Pope's gaze finally fell on Lu Li, with a smile on his face: "Lu Li kid, have you ever thought about coming to the Holy See to develop?"

Oh! F*ck!

Hearing this blatant snatching of people by the Pope, Yan Qian and the others' faces changed, staring fiercely at Yan Zhen; the meaning was very clear, was this the "good thing" you were talking about?

No, this was different from what I thought; how could you not play according to common sense?

Even Yan Zhen didn't expect the Pope to do such a thing, actually snatching people so directly.

"I might have to disappoint you, Your Holiness the Pope," when everyone was pondering how to break the situation, Lu Li had already spoken first: "For the time being, I don't have thoughts in this regard."

F*ck! Is this kid too bold?
