Chapter 353 - 353: Selection

Long Chen killed Elder Yao Mu before he turned back.

He looked towards the kids that were outside. His single gaze was enough to send chills down their spine.

"If anyone dared to bully his brother, you'll be next," Long Chen warned them before he started walking back.

The Outer Elders wanted to talk to him and get close, but after seeing everything, they didn't dare.

Only Inner Elder Du ran after him.

"Master Chen, you must be walking towards the Core Sect, my courtyard lies along the way, how about you come to my place. I've just received a fresh batch of the world-famous Fragrance of Blossom Tea Leaves. The tea is said to be heavenly. I would love to host you for some tea," Elder Du said with a smile on his face.

"Hmm? Sorry, but I'm not free today. I just came here to help someone. Maybe some other day," Long Chen rejected the offer.

"Oh, alright. I can at least escort you back, right?" Elder Du said.

"Are you saying that I would need your protection to walk back?" Long Chen inquired as he looked towards Elder Du.

"Ah, not at all. Who am I to provide protection to someone like you. I just wish that I would be able to keep you company for some time," Elder Du said with a fawning look on his face.

"You don't need to go through the trouble. Just go back to your courtyard when we get there. Maybe I'll come to visit you in the future," Long Chen casually said, though he didn't mean it.

"Indeed. I'll wait for that day," Elder Du said, smilingly.

He accompanied Long Chen to the inner portion of the sect and left as he got to his courtyard. He did not forget to remind Long Chen to visit him though.

Long Chen walked back to his courtyard and entered with Man Gu.

"Thank you for everything you did for me, Master. Now my brother can cultivate in peace," Man Gu thanked Long Chen.

"Don't worry about it. Anyways, I'm going to cultivate. I'll keep the door unlocked, so if he comes again, tell him that the door is open. I don't want him to break another door," Long Chen said to Man Gu.

"Him?" Man Gu inquired in confusion.

"The person that broke the last 2 doors," Long Chen said in annoyance.

"Oh, you mean your master. I'll tell him," Man Gu nodded his head.
