Chapter 404: Chapter 404: The meaning of the sect leader is that those two people are not as good as me!

The faces of the other elders were still ugly.

Only Zhu Chongjiu, looked at his mentor with a face full of astonishment.

He was somewhat puzzled.

Danyang Zi did not look at him but gazed meaningfully at Lu Chen.

However, he did not ask Lu Chen anything; instead, he softly said to everyone, "You did not see what happened inside the Star Picking Formation, but as your teacher, I saw everything clearly."

With other elders present, Danyang Zi still referred to himself as a teacher, obviously directing his words to them.

The expressions on the faces of the group of elders were extremely ugly, as they had assumed Danyang Zi was merely a spectator.

But to their surprise, Danyang Zi had taken control of everything!

In this case, there was nothing they wanted to do that they could do!

Then, Danyang Zi chuckled and said, "You all, watch what happens next within the formation."

With a gentle wave of his hand, a ripple suddenly passed through the Star Picking Formation.

Where the ripples reached, the images within the formation became crystal clear!

Scenes flashed past, finally stopping at where Yu Zhibai and the other two were.

This was the location of the gate of the formation!

Yet they hadn’t come out directly but seemed to be arguing about something!

All the elders present, including Danyang Zi and even Lu Chen, knew they were the predetermined choices.

Lu Chen even revealed a meaningful smile.

It was apparent.

In the end, the one who would lose the spot would definitely be Li Chengming!

However.

What exactly were Yu Zhibai and the woman in black robes arguing about?

Lu Chen looked towards Li Chengming.

He saw that Li Chengming showed no dissatisfaction, but was even forcing a smile.

Lu Chen really couldn’t guess what they had to argue about!

The only possibility was that Li Chengyang had ingratiated himself with that female cultivator.

But did the female cultivator really need to offend Yu Zhibai for Li Chengming’s sake?

Yu Zhibai was very strong; though Lu Chen had blocked his ice rings at the time.

He had also seen the strength Yu Zhibai demonstrated afterwards.

The Thousand-Mile Ice Seal, a spell like that, indicated not only that the opponent could attack over a large area but also revealed something about Yu Zhibai’s Spirit Root...

It was very likely a mutated Ice Spiritual Root!

No wonder he was highly groomed by the Casting Gear Pavilion!

As for the woman in black robes, Lu Chen did not have the chance to take a close look at the time and could not tell what was different about her.

But clearly, her status was not lower than Yu Zhibai’s.

These two were indeed the proud children raised by the Casting Gear Pavilion!

"You see?"

At that moment.

Danyang Zi’s voice suddenly resounded, startling everyone.

Even Lu Chen, without surprise, looked up towards Danyang Zi.

Seeing these people utterly puzzled, Danyang Zi looked even more unexpectedly at Lu Chen.

"Lu Chen, can you guess the meaning of this sect master?"

Lu Chen’s heart skipped a beat. Was Danyang Zi teaching him a lesson, or testing him?

Logically, he could compete and show off within the sect, after all, he was also an Inner Sect Disciple, and Zhu Chongjiu had changed his ways.

But in front of the higher-ranking Danyang Zi, he needed to restrain himself and hide his sharpness!

Lu Chen intended to feign ignorance, but a flash of insight suddenly sparked in his mind!

Now, they could see the situation within the formation...

Did that mean all of his actions before were under the control of Danyang Zi?

At this thought, Lu Chen inwardly took a deep breath!

If he were to hide his skills at this time, Danyang Zi might take note, and instead, suspect that he had ulterior motives!

If it came to that, whether he could stay in the Casting Gear Pavilion would be a minor issue; preserving his life would be the real concern!

Having realized this critical point, Lu Chen began to contemplate the meaning behind Danyang Zi’s words.

After a moment, he furrowed his brows slightly.

If Danyang Zi was aware of everything within the formation, this meant that he knew every action taken, by anyone.

Now that he was outside the formation.

And they were still inside.

It naturally followed that those two inside did not seize the opportunity as well as he had!

Clearly, they could have come out and secured their spots and then argued privately later, but now they were engaged in such pointless behavior.

What if something unexpected happened?

For instance, what if Li Chengming suddenly found a way to come out from the gate of the formation?

Lu Chen came to a realization, looking at Danyang Zi with a confident smile on his lips.

He loudly said, "The sect master’s meaning is that Brother Yu and that senior sister’s abilities are not as good as mine!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was astounded!

Even Zhu Chongjiu was frightened!

Lu Chen, what audacity!

He struggled with the inability to move, otherwise, he would have gone forward to slap Lu Chen firstly, then apologize to the sect master, admitting his failure to teach his disciples...

But who would have thought.

Danyang Zi looked extremely satisfied, stroking his beard and laughing heartily!
