"I asked Li Wei to bring you here today. I just want to confirm one thing."
The great elder's kind-hearted face had a smile on his face, and he said while making Lu Chen a cup of tea.
"Oh?" Lu Chen became more curious and immediately replied: "Dare you ask the great elder what is going on? Why do you want to ask a little guy like me?"
The great elder's smile did not diminish and he said: "Although these words are straightforward, I have to ask, some of you dare to ask if you are from other continents."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Chen's mind suddenly shook.
How did the great elder know this?
A chill surged into Lu Chen's heart, like a spell, densely shaking Lu Chen's heart.
After so many years, even when Lu Chen was in Xuanwu Continent, no one had ever known about it unless Lu Chen said it!
Where did this mysterious elder get this news?
Lu Chen only felt infinite fear in his heart, but the person in front of him was still asking, but he couldn't force out a word!
"It's okay. I understand. It's okay not to say anything." The elder was not surprised at all. He didn't even question it. He seemed to have already guessed Lu Chen's answer.
"However, I can only tell you one thing about what you want to know. You will know it after entering the inner courtyard."
The great elder stood up and said slowly.
"Inner courtyard?" Lu Chen was a little confused. If he went to the inner courtyard, what could be solved?
"To be specific, the dean of the inner court will tell you some things, but I advise you not to believe him in others." The great elder walked over and said.
"Dean of the Inner Court? Why can't you believe it?" Lu Chen asked doubtfully.
"Don't say what you shouldn't say, don't ask what you shouldn't ask." The great elder said while stroking Lu Chen's head with his right hand.
"Don't be afraid." The kind voice of the great elder made Lu Chen calm down a little, and a warm current slowly poured into Lu Chen's body.
Lu Chen felt a little uncomfortable and even wanted to resist.
To be honest, Lu Chen almost no longer believes in those so-called gentlemen because of some previous experiences on Xuanwu Continent.
However, Li Wei has always been so trustworthy in Lu Chen's eyes. Since Li Wei didn't say much, Lu Chen wouldn't be overly nervous.
"Go to sleep tonight. I've buried something in your body to protect you. Li Wei will take you to the inner courtyard tomorrow."
The warm current lasted for nearly half an hour before it ended. Just as Lu Chen wanted to ask something, the great elder already said.
"Inner courtyard? The selection hasn't started yet!" Lu Chen asked a little strangely, which was a bit confusing.
The great elder turned back and smiled meaningfully at Lu Chen and said.
"Young man, have you ever heard of a word called - go through the back door!"
On the second day, in front of the inner courtyard.
"Wow, is this the inner courtyard? I never thought it could be so magnificent." Lu Chen looked at the high walls made of white jade and the slanted vermilion lacquered wood columns, forming a very designed building.
Everything in that house is so extraordinary.
Just standing in front of this door can vaguely feel the word grand.
The order of the utensils and placement is also in order, and I think someone has always been taking care of it. The red lacquer door of the main courtyard has a black velvet silk wood plaque with three large golden characters "Main Inner Courtyard" inlaid on it.
Lu Chen found strange rocks and some green bamboos standing between the corners of the two courtyards. The strange rocks were stacked on top of each other and carved into various shapes. Lu Chen was shocked when he saw them.
The smell of scholarly pen and ink came from the courtyard. Lu Chen smelled that smell, as if he felt like he was in a sea of books. He couldn't help but said such words to Li Wei. Li Wei saw Lu Chen like this
I like it, and naturally I am very excited and proud.
"Of course the inner courtyard is magnificent, otherwise how could it attract countless Dongsheng disciples to be so yearning for it?" Li Wei proudly said it to Lu Chen without hesitation.
After saying this, Lu Chen's face suddenly looked bad and darkened. Li Wei saw his hesitation, so he turned back to Chen Lu and asked, "What's wrong? Why do you look so ugly suddenly?"
"No, I just feel that it is not appropriate to enter the inner court with my identity. I am not a disciple of the inner court yet. I am afraid that this will be criticized by many people."
After saying this, Lu Chen felt a little ashamed.
Although Lu Chen knew that it would be appropriate to enter the inner courtyard with his strength, due to some of his own selfish desires, he broke this rule in advance, which made Lu Chen a little ashamed.
Li Wei understood something after hearing Lu Chen's words, and also knew that it was not appropriate for him to bring him to the inner courtyard like this, but so what, he was the only outer courtyard disciple who passed the Tiandao Tower.
Even the junior fellow students in the inner courtyard have not passed. It can be said that his strength can even surpass some of the junior fellow apprentices in the inner courtyard. Why should he be afraid of what others say if he brings him here?
What's more, it was obviously his dean who asked him to come and see Lu Chen to see how capable he was. Since it was the dean's request, he would definitely do it, so why not?
Are you afraid of others laughing at you and afraid of them?
"Lu Chen, you are worrying too much. I will explain it to everyone afterwards. You don't need to worry. You just need to adjust your mentality and meet our dean properly later."
"Let me tell you, our dean is very capable. I can tell you this, apart from the great elder, he should be the one with the most authority to speak in Dongsheng. Compared with other members of the council,
The elders are much more capable, so please speak carefully later."
Lu Chen nodded after listening to Li Wei's words. He couldn't hold back his excitement. He never thought that he would have the opportunity to enter the inner courtyard just to meet their dean. What an honor it was for him.
Lu Chen was incoherent at the moment and was too happy to speak, but he didn't know how to act. If he left a bad impression on the dean, what he had done before would be in vain.
Lu Chen also thought that if the dean could take a fancy to him, he might be able to keep him in the inner courtyard. Lu Chen thought this was a good opportunity, not to mention that the dean suddenly said that he should come to see him. His
What is the intention? I have no way of knowing. I can only understand it after meeting him.
Lu tried his best to calm down. Li Wei walked in front, looked back, and stood aside in a daze, glancing at Lu Chen who didn't know what he was thinking.
He shouted to him: "Okay, Lu Chen, hurry up and follow us. Even though our yard is small, the design inside is extremely complicated. If you don't pay attention, you will get lost. You still have to be careful."
of."
"These disciples have all rested now. If you get lost and no one can take you here, you'd better follow me quickly."
After Lu Chen heard what Li Wei said, he was surprised, and immediately followed Li Wei. Li Wei pushed open the main courtyard door, and Lu Chen seemed to have stepped into another paradise.
.
The ink and white inside make people feel very relaxed. This is a good place for practice. Ever since he saw the elder's practice room last time, Lu Chen has never forgotten it, but he found that the elder had nothing to do with him.
This place in the inner courtyard is already overshadowed by comparison.
It turns out that the place where the dean of the inner courtyard practices is more elegant and relaxing than the place where the elders practice.
"Dean, I have brought Lu Chen." Li Wei looked at the person on the throne in front of him through the screen and said respectfully. Lu Chen couldn't help but leaned over and took a curious look, only to find that
The person on the seat was resting with his head propped up, and his figure looked particularly lazy.
Lu Chen was very curious, but without his summons, he did not dare to go forward without permission. He could only stand seriously and look at it from the side.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Li Wei, bring him to me." The dean sat up straight, his expression immediately changed from the comfortable state just now to a serious one.
When Li Wei heard the elder's summons, he immediately replied to the dean, and whispered to Lu Chen: "Okay, Lu Chen, you can come with me." Lu Chen felt a panic in his heart, he had never seen such a huge situation.
Except for the first meeting with the elder, there was absolutely no other scene that made him feel so nervous.
Lu Chen was a little incoherent at this time. He didn't know how to answer or how to face the dean next.
Li Wei saw his appearance and knew that no matter who encountered such a big scene, he would naturally be a little panicked, so Li Wei cheered Lu Chen on the side.
He comforted him and said: "Actually, the dean is not that scary. He asked me to bring you here today because he probably took a fancy to your ability. So, don't be so nervous and just relax yourself. I think it is absolutely inappropriate for you to come here today."
It would be a bad thing, Lu Chen, just behave well after you go in, don't be so stiff."
With Li Wei's comfort, Lu Chen felt that he was no longer so nervous. He looked at the person behind the screen who had been sitting upright and waiting for him. Lu Chen couldn't wait any longer. After all, that person was from the inner courtyard.
Dean.
Since entering Dongsheng, he has never seen him before. Lu Chen needs to see what kind of person he is. He is regarded as the "myth of Dongsheng." Everyone thinks that it is impossible to enter the inner courtyard.
, even the dean of the inner courtyard is a master with great powers.
Although the elder is very capable, he usually presides over all matters of Dongsheng, so everyone is used to it, and they know him very well, so there is not much novelty.
But as for the dean of the inner courtyard, although everyone has heard a lot about him, no one has ever seen his ability, let alone his ability, and has never even seen him in person.
Even if Lu Chen came to see this place today, it would be a great honor. As long as he told it, it would make the junior fellow students jealous.
Lu Chen felt at ease for a moment, and then followed Li Wei, who was waiting expectantly for his response, and walked in. Suddenly something hit Lu Chen from nowhere.
Lu Chen quickly dodged the thing that was thrown at Lu Chen, but he didn't expect that the thing seemed to be a ball of fiery energy. It was backfired and flew towards Lu Chen again, but there was something that was bound to push Lu Chen away.
The feeling of being dusted off.
Lu Chen came to see the dean today. Why did something attack him? What was it? Lu Chen looked up and found that the dean was no longer above the throne. It was so mysterious that Lu Chen was a little confused.
Li Wei beside him has long since disappeared.
At this moment, he was the only one left in the entire hall. Lu Chen was a little confused and was still confused. At this moment, the force attacked him again. Lu Chen thought about it, and it seemed that this was what happened to them.
It's a trap that people set for themselves. If I don't pass this test smoothly today, I'm afraid it won't be justified.
