Chapter 3665: May You Be Blessed with Good Fortune

At this time, at the Nordic scientific research station, three women were seated around the tea table by the window, their eyes constantly fixed on the outside.

Although Lin Wanyer had brewed tea, none of the three, including herself, had the mood to drink it.

Ye Chen had been gone for several days, and his life or death remained unknown; Lin Wanyer very much wanted to call him on a satellite phone, but she worried that if he were in danger, her call might expose his location, so she could only wait patiently.

Ye Chen had gone alone deep into the Antarctic continent, and Yun Ruoyu and Song Ruyu were also deeply worried in their hearts, but like Lin Wanyer, they both restrained themselves, so none of them showed their concern too obviously.

At this moment, Lin Wanyer's phone screen suddenly lit up — it was a news push notification.

The research station had a 24-hour-operating Starlink receiver, and the network here was hardly different from that of a modern metropolis, so Lin Wanyer's phone received many message pushes every day; however, her phone had always been on silent mode and vibration turned off, so as not to disturb others' cultivation. Just now, the screen flashed briefly, and she curiously glanced at it, then instantly startled, she picked up her phone and opened that push notification.

The reason she was so interested in this news was that its headline actually concerned Antarctica, reading: 《Lightning Suddenly Appears Deep in the Antarctic Continent, Scientists Say Never Seen Before! 》

The push entered a video news report, with the host delivering smoothly: "According to Beijing time last night, the U. S. weather satellite detected a dense lightning phenomenon in a certain area deep in the Antarctic continent, leaving scientists baffled. It is reported that lightning almost never occurs in Antarctic winter; scientists say producing lightning under such conditions is like having a downpour in minus sixty-degree weather — this phenomenon has never been seen before and is highly abnormal. However, scientists currently still do not know the specific cause of the lightning."

Yun Ruoyu heard the voice from the phone and exclaimed: "Lightning?! That must be the doing of Mr. Ye's Thunderclap Order!"

Lin Wanyer nodded with a solemn expression and said: "Besides the Young Master, there is nothing else possible; I suppose the Young Master must have gone through a fierce battle!"

Song Ruyu asked anxiously: "Ah?! Could Mr. Ye have come to blows with one of the Three Great Elders?! They are existences in the Broken Clear Society second only to Wu Feiyan in strength; although Mr. Ye's cultivation is also high, if he truly had to face the Three Great Elders, there would still be a considerable gap."

Lin Wanyer thought of something, stood up quickly at the fastest pace, and blurted out in panic: "Waiting here for the Young Master, I'll go back to my room for a moment — if there's nothing, please don't call me!"

Yun Ruoyu and Song Ruyu looked at Lin Wanyer's expression and found it somewhat strange; in their impression, Lin Wanyer was a very calm and composed woman, almost as unshakable as Mount Tai collapsing before her without changing color; they did not know why she had suddenly become so flustered at this moment and even anxious to return to her room.

Yun Ruoyu, concerned, asked Lin Wanyer: "Miss Lin, are you alright?"

"I'm fine..." Lin Wanyer replied, her mind unsettled: "I... I'm just a bit tired."

Actually, at this moment Lin Wanyer was thinking: what if Ye Chen is about to encounter danger? Then he would likely be transported back by the ring his father gave him, and possibly even without a stitch of clothing; what if, in front of Yun Ruoyu and Song Ruyu, he suddenly appeared transported back — wouldn't that scene be extremely embarrassing?

But the next moment, Lin Wanyer suddenly realized: although the news is time-sensitive, if it is not a live broadcast or live report, it inherently involves some delay.

Just as the news said, the lightning appearing in the Antarctic continent was first captured by the U. S. weather satellite, then disseminated by U. S. media, and finally reprinted and reported by Chinese media — this process alone has taken at least several hours. Meanwhile, the moment the lightning appeared must have been when Ye Chen was fighting the enemy, which means Ye Chen's battle with the opponent has already lasted several hours, even ten or more hours. Even if the two were evenly matched, it would be impossible to require such prolonged entanglement, so it is likely that the fight has already ended.

The important point is that Ye Chen has not been transported back, which means Ye Chen must have won the victory.

Thinking this through, Lin Wanyer suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

She laughed awkwardly and said to Yun Ruoyu: "Forget it — I just suddenly had a headache earlier, but now I'm fine; I'll stay here with you two and wait for the Young Master."

Yun Ruoyu saw that she seemed no longer panicked, and she too breathed a sigh of relief, comforting her: "Miss Lin, you need not worry too much; Mr. Ye, as a fortunate person, will naturally have heavenly favor — I'm sure nothing will go wrong."

"Yes." Lin Wanyer nodded lightly, smiling and saying: "The Young Master will surely return safely."

……

At the same time, the headquarters of the Broken Clear Society.

Wu Tianlin came rushing anxiously to Wu Feiyan's traveling palace; after obtaining permission to see her, he hurried into the main hall and, tense and uneasy, said to Wu Feiyan: "Sovereign, something major may have happened!"

Wu Feiyan frowned and asked him: "What happened to make you so flustered?"

Wu Tianlin handed over a specially made phone to Wu Feiyan respectfully and said: "Sovereign, please take a look at this video first."

Wu Feiyan took the phone doubtfully, pressed the play button, and the phone played exactly that news segment about lightning appearing deep in the Antarctic.

Wu Feiyan furrowed her brows tightly and said warily: "Never mind the deep Antarctic — even in winter, we don't see lightning here at sea; that ghostly place is even farther south than us by over a thousand kilometers — how could there possibly be lightning there?"

Wu Tianlin said anxiously and uneasily: "Replying to the Sovereign, I feel this matter must be suspicious; that lightning is absolutely man-made, not natural. Combined with the fact that the Grand Elder is currently in the Antarctic, I fear this incident may be related to him."

"Wu Bolin?" Wu Feiyan shook her head: "No, it shouldn't be — I know his cultivation method inside and out, and it does not include any technique or artifact capable of producing lightning; most likely, it has nothing to do with him."

Speaking of this, Wu Feiyan suddenly grew tense and muttered: "If it's not him, then it must be someone else. Could there still be other cultivators on the Antarctic continent at this moment?!"

Wu Tianlin said nervously: "Replying to the Sovereign, my concern is exactly this — if there are indeed other cultivators in the Antarctic, and they suddenly produce lightning, then perhaps they have already encountered the Grand Elder, and friction has arisen between them. I don't know whether the Grand Elder is safe at this moment..."

Wu Feiyan's heart became especially tense; although she still did not know Wu Bolin's current condition, thinking about how, recently, she and the entire Broken Clear Society have been encountering one misfortune after another, this strong negative aura gave her a feeling that something serious was amiss.

She did not tighten her lips but murmured: "If he has already encountered danger, then at this moment we are powerless to help him — he can only seek his own fortune!"
