Chapter 1452

I believe you're clearly the clever and quick-witted type at a glance. Chen Yu said: "You're not planning to take me to your sect to have a look, are you? Let's go, but I think this matter needs your father's prior consent, so you take me to find them—I can only go if they agree."

That works, let's go. My father will accept you, I've got you covered, no need to worry. Ling Yun giggled and then actually led the way ahead.

So you just fell for it?

Chen Yu froze for a moment—this girl, did she just spill everything she knew about the sect to their enemies?

Is she saying she's pure, or that she's stupid?

But deceiving her like this—no, it's pumping her for information—Chen Yu felt a faint unease in his heart.

Just then, a rabbit suddenly leapt out from ahead. Ling Yun reached out with her right hand, struck the void with a palm, snatched the rabbit back, held it in her arms, and gently stroked it.

"Ah, what a cute little rabbit." Ling Yun proudly asked Chen Yu: "Aren't I impressive?"

"Impressive." Chen Yu gave a slight nod.

"Such beasts—no matter how cute, what can they do? They don't even grasp basic humanity; they're not even as good as you ants. I truly don't know what meaning these things have in existing in this world."

"All things in the world, since they exist, must have meaning to their existence." Chen Yu said calmly: "Just like the rabbit in your arms—it too has its own meaning to exist, so……"

"Heh, meaning?" Ling Yun laughed, cutting off Chen Yu: "What's its meaning? To be skinned, stewed, and eaten?"

"Such things have no meaning whatsoever in existing in this world." She said, her gaze turning sharp, then her right hand pointed into the void—a wisp of Original Power surged into the rabbit's body.

With a pop, the rabbit that had just looked utterly adorable suddenly turned into a bloody mist; in an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere.

Chen Yu was startled, he involuntarily turned his gaze toward Ling Yun—this woman smiled like a flower on the surface, but her heart was utterly vicious.

"Why go to such lengths?" Chen Yu let out a faint sigh: "It was merely passing by, happened to appear here—why must you exterminate it completely?"

"It was blocking me, offending my sight, so I dealt with it—no problem, right?" Ling Yun coldly fixed Chen Yu with her gaze: "Including you—if I wish it, I can take your life at any time."

Her eyes shot forth icy light, radiating a terrifying glow, locking dead onto Chen Yu, and faintly, Primordial Qi emanated outward—if she were an ordinary person, a slight exertion would release enough Primordial Qi to doom Chen Yu.

Unfortunately, her bit of Original Power could inflict no harm on Chen Yu, who also helplessly shook his head: "Let's go."

Seeing Chen Yu unharmed surprised Ling Yun greatly—her Primordial Qi radiated outward, and if it were an ordinary person, they likely couldn't withstand it, but now Chen Yu appeared perfectly fine, leaving her bewildered.

"Why are you unharmed?" Ling Yun caught up to Chen Yu and asked.

"Why should I be harmed?" Chen Yu turned his head to glance at her, couldn't help but smile: "I don't understand what you're saying."

"This is strange—you're unlike ordinary people, though thinking about it, since you could break into that formation outside, it's normal you're not under my control. Still, I'm curious—what exactly are you, and why can you display so many extraordinary abilities?" Ling Yun asked.

"Perhaps I'm the one you've been waiting for." Chen Yu gave a faint smile.

"Impossible—you have no trace of Primordial Qi on you, you're not a Dharma Cultivator, you're just an ordinary person." Ling Yun scrutinized Chen Yu again with earnest seriousness, found nothing special about him, and couldn't help but laugh.

Chen Yu remained silent, thinking: You can't see it because your strength is too weak—this really isn't anyone else's fault.

"Interesting—I'm starting to take an interest in you." Ling Yun smiled: "Well then, since that's the case, I'll bring you to meet my father so he can see what kind of person you really are."

Meanwhile, everyone at Qingguan Temple was still waiting, but after the disciples sent to scout returned, they reported they hadn't seen Chen Yu again.

"How could that be? This place is Qingguan Temple's territory, with many restrictions laid outside—how could he just say he vanished and then actually vanish?" Qingchen cried out in alarm.

"Elder, don't panic yet—we're still investigating. This fifty-li radius is all Qingguan Temple's territory; I don't believe Chen Yu could mysteriously disappear on our grounds." A disciple said.

"Investigating." Qingchen waved his hand; that disciple bowed, turned, and vanished into the forest.

"Impossible—Chen Yu couldn't possibly vanish for no reason within our surveillance range." Qingchen muttered.

"Elder…… Chen Yu definitely isn't an ordinary person—I still feel Yunluju's reaction this time is abnormal." It was still that conscientious disciple: "If he were truly ordinary, they'd just send someone randomly to settle it—would they need to make such a fuss?"

Qingchen furrowed his brows tightly; speaking honestly, after that disciple's reminder, he also felt this matter wasn't simple.

Because it was so abnormal, even Yunluju's disciples out training were recalled—this clearly wasn't an ordinary affair.

"Alright, things have come to this point—our urgent task is still to clarify Chen Yu's whereabouts." Qingchen said: "After returning to the sect, I'll have a proper talk with the elders—this matter is indeed not simple."

"Elder, Martial Sister Ling Yun hasn't returned to the mountain gate." Just then, another disciple came running to report.

"What? She hasn't returned to the mountain? Where did she go? Didn't I tell her to go back? Why won't she listen to me?" Qingchen roared angrily.

"Elder, don't rush—Martial Sister has always loved to play; perhaps she went to that place to play. Let's contact her." A disciple hurriedly said.

Just as everyone was about to contact Ling Yun, she appeared with a man in tow.

"No need to contact me—I'm back." Ling Yun waved at Qingchen, then excitedly ran over: "Father."

"Where did you go? I told you to return to the mountain!" Qingchen's suspended heart finally settled, then he snapped angrily: "Why won't you obey?"

"What are you nervous about? I'm already an adult—don't tell me you're still afraid I'll get lost?" Ling Yun giggled: "Father, I met a very special person on the road—I brought him to meet you."

"A very special person? Who?" Qingchen blinked in mild confusion, lifted his head, and upon seeing Chen Yu, his face suddenly changed—he stepped forward, blocking Ling Yun.
