Yang Wenshan looked deeply at Lin Chen, extremely reluctant to leave.
She longed to approach Lin Chen and say a few more words, but she was too timid, never able to make that decision. Ultimately, after an internal struggle, she chose to leave.
Just as she took a few steps, she would stop and look back at the position where Lin Chen was, glancing a couple of times.
"Young Master Lin Chen, could I have a word with you?"
Zhuang Xiaoqin dismissed the disciples of the Spirit Formation Hall, then her gaze fell on Lin Chen as she smiled slightly and asked.
Clearly, Wang Tong had given her instructions that she didn't want Zi Ling and the others to know about.
"Since that's the case, Senior Sister, you should return to the Yellow Hall first."
Lin Chen also saw that Zhuang Xiaoqin was looking for him, fearing it was not a simple matter, thus advised Zi Ling and others to return first.
Zi Ling nodded after hearing Lin Chen's words. Although she was curious about why Zhuang Xiaoqin was seeking Lin Chen, at the moment it was clear that Zhuang Xiaoqin didn't want them to know. Naturally, she couldn't insist on staying.
Moreover, Zhuang Xiaoqin was a formidable expert at the Creation Realm Fifth Level. With her abilities, it would be absolutely impossible for Zi Ling to eavesdrop.
Zi Ling led Su Yun and the others, intending to return to the Yellow Hall.
Yet, Yang Minghui was very unwilling.
"So mysterious, could it be something unspeakable?"
Yang Minghui looked at Zhuang Xiaoqin and Lin Chen, and said immediately.
It's worth noting that her voice was quite loud, so Zhuang Xiaoqin certainly heard it.
In response, Zi Ling was startled, thinking to herself, this fellow really doesn't know his place, daring to speak to Zhuang Xiaoqin like that.
Zhuang Xiaoqin was also taken aback by Yang Minghui's attitude, looking a few more times at Yang Minghui, but didn't say much.
She was quite curious about the relationship between Lin Chen and this young man. If it was just a normal relationship, such words shouldn't be spoken.
A thought immediately arose in Zhuang Xiaoqin's mind, but she ignored it and discarded it instantly.
After all, whatever the relationship between Lin Chen and Yang Minghui, it had nothing to do with her. She just needed to complete the task given by her Master.
"They're gone now. Instructor Zhuang, whatever you have to say, you can say it now."
Lin Chen saw Zi Ling leading Su Yun and others to leave, then looked at Zhuang Xiaoqin and said.
"My Master wishes to invite Young Master Lin Chen to join us at the Spirit Formation Hall. I wonder if Young Master Lin Chen would do us the honor."
Zhuang Xiaoqin looked at Lin Chen with his indifferent attitude but didn't mind; she still spoke with a gentle smile.
Upon hearing Zhuang Xiaoqin's words, Lin Chen was immediately surprised.
Considering that Zhuang Xiaoqin was an instructor at the Spirit Formation Hall, her Master must be that First Array Master of the Yunlong Heavenly Palace?
"Your Master invites me? Is it the renowned Master Wang Tong?"
Lin Chen looked at Zhuang Xiaoqin and asked.
"Indeed, that's my Master. My Master is already waiting in the Spirit Formation Hall, just waiting for Young Master Lin Chen to come."
Zhuang Xiaoqin looked at Lin Chen and said respectfully.
Upon hearing these words, Lin Chen was startled internally.
How could an insignificant person like himself attract attention from such a prominent figure as Wang Tong?
It must certainly not be due to his cultivation, but for other reasons.
"What kind of person is Master Wang Tong, that would take interest in a junior?"
Lin Chen looked at Zhuang Xiaoqin with curiosity and asked.
"Young Master Lin Chen didn't know, yesterday I told my Master about your astounding performance in class. My Master then became quite interested in you, so specifically asked me to invite Young Master Lin Chen for a gathering at the Spirit Formation Hall; my Master wishes to discuss Spiritual Formation knowledge with you."
Zhuang Xiaoqin looked at Lin Chen and stated seriously.
Of course, Zhuang Xiaoqin only told part of the reason and didn't disclose all reasons as her Master's real reason for inviting Lin Chen was related to the Spiritual Formation in the Flame Mountain Range.
This matter was tied to that Spiritual Formation Master behind Lin Chen, hence Zhuang Xiaoqin didn't mention it for now.
Upon hearing Zhuang Xiaoqin's words, Lin Chen thought for a moment, contemplating that such an important figure like Wang Tong wouldn't likely set a trap for him.
Moreover, all Lin Chen had revealed so far was a bit of Spiritual Formation talent, not exposing any other secrets that might trigger targeting by great powers.
Now that he was being noticed, there was no avoiding it, might as well go and see what's going on.
Lin Chen thought it over thoroughly, realising that since he hadn't revealed anything secret, declining the invitation would only seem guilty.
"Since your Master has invited, it would be unreasonable for Lin Chen to refuse. To meet the legendary Spiritual Formation Master is a fortune for one in three lifetimes. Please, Instructor Zhuang, lead the way."
Lin Chen looked at Zhuang Xiaoqin and said calmly.
Zhuang Xiaoqin looked at Lin Chen, and although his reaction was normal, she heard an air of calmness in his words.
For someone to receive an invitation from a prominent figure like her Master, and yet treat it with such indifference.
No matter how, Lin Chen seemed not to be an ordinary person.
"Senior Sister, does Master truly invite this guy to our Spirit Formation Hall?"
"Moreover, to come as a guest and discuss Spiritual Formation knowledge? With Master?"
Qiu Yue stood to the side, hearing Zhuang Xiaoqin's words, feeling shocked.
She couldn't imagine that Lin Chen could be invited by her Master.
Keep in mind, even if Lin Chen had profound knowledge of Spiritual Formation, he hadn't reached the level where he could sit on equal footing with her Master, right?
"Junior Sister, this matter was personally instructed to me by Master. In future, avoid antagonizing Young Master Lin Chen; otherwise, you might bring great trouble upon yourself. If Master gets upset, I won't be able to protect you."
Zhuang Xiaoqin looked at Qiu Yue and said sternly.
After all, if Lin Chen truly was the disciple of the Master who perfected the formation in the Flame Mountain Range, her Master would treat Lin Chen as a distinguished guest and wouldn't let Qiu Yue trouble him.
Upon hearing Zhuang Xiaoqin's words, Qiu Yue fell silent immediately, her emotions complex.
Lin Chen followed behind Zhuang Xiaoqin, arriving at the Spirit Formation Hall, passing the classroom and walking for a while until they reached the Inner Sect of the Spirit Formation Hall.
"Haha, this must be Young Master Lin Chen. I am Wang Tong, Hall Master of the Spirit Formation Hall. Welcome, Young Master Lin Chen, to our place."
