That Hall Master looked to be in his thirties, his figure like an iron tower, his face dark, and his eyes flickered with chaotic symbols.
However, his aura did not leak out at all, making it hard to discern his strength from his appearance.
Long Chen possessed the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique, allowing him to sense the hidden power beneath his calm surface.
Long Chen had only sensed this feeling from Xu Jianxiong. What surprised him most was that this Hall Master carried a powerful aura of the dragon clan.
Long Chen possessed dragon blood and was extremely sensitive to the senses of dragon clan powerhouses, never mistaking anyone. Because of this, he was shocked.
"Kid, what are you standing there for? Haven't seen the Hall Master yet? Seeing Long Chen and Bai Shishi together, Bai Zhantang felt annoyed and said irritably.
In his heart, his daughter was like a fairy, but Long Chen, a slick and smooth talker, was not a good match for his daughter, not someone suitable to entrust his life to.
Just now, before Bai Shishi bowed, she tugged at Long Chen, but Long Chen was shocked by the Hall Master's status and didn't bow with Bai Shishi. Bai Zhantang couldn't help but speak up.
"No need."
The Hall Master waved his hand, also staring at Long Chen with a strange look in his eyes. After watching for a while, he nodded, seemingly highly appreciating Long Chen.
After nodding, the Hall Master turned and left without saying a word. Bai Shishi felt a bit uneasy, unsure if Long Chen's rudeness had made the Hall Master angry.
"Dean Long Chen, Dean Bai is leaving. Everything here is yours. The Hall Master isn't good with words, and he's not good with words.
So, in this area, you need to do more for those who are capable. If you ever have to talk or take action, the Hall Master is more than happy to help. A powerful figure beside Bai Zhantang smiled slightly.
He stood next to Bai Zhantang, also beside the Hall Master, meaning they held the same status and status, both serving as Vice Hall Masters of the War God Hall.
This time, Long Chen finally recognized Bai Zhantang's cultivation at the Heavenly Venerable Realm, though on the surface he was still at the Immortal King Realm, but he could no longer hide his sensing from Long Chen.
Moreover, Long Chen sensed the strangeness of their aura. He had a seal within his body, deliberately sealing his cultivation and hiding his presence.
If Long Chen hadn't cultivated the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique, it would be impossible to sense his true cultivation—Lingxiao Academy was hiding too deeply.
What Long Chen found most baffling was that, back in Ming Hao Tian, he had seen Bai Zhantang act several times. He had already given his all, so why didn't he break the seal?
Long Chen didn't believe that they only made such progress after Long Chen left Lingxiao Academy.
Bai Zhantang's aura was also different from that of ordinary Celestial Venerables; it was a mysterious aura somewhere between ordinary and innate Celestial Venerables.
This discovery finally made Long Chen realize that the oldest academy in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths was not called for nothing—it was hidden far too deep.
Looking back now, those forces targeting Lingxiao Academy were utterly ridiculous, like a swarm of ants plotting to devour the sleeping dragon.
"The dean has already warned me. I will not let you or the Hall Master down." Long Chen cupped his fists and said.
Now that things had come to this, making further excuses was pointless. With such a deep foundation, Lingxiao Academy wasn't afraid of him causing trouble at all. So let's do it.
Moreover, Long Chen vaguely felt that Dean Bai Letian had made him host because he had some scheme. Perhaps they just wanted Long Chen to come up with something.
"Then I'll ask Dean Long Chen to take care of you. I'm leaving now, so I won't hold up your family reunion." The man smiled, patted Bai Zhantang on the shoulder, and left.
Now, only Bai Zhantang, Bai Shishi, and Long Chen remained here. Long Chen looked at the dark face of this future father-in-law and suddenly felt a bit awkward, as it seemed that this father-in-law had never liked him.
"Hall Master, is there anything else you wish to take care of me?" But he couldn't stay silent, so Long Chen had to speak first. If not, you should leave too. Everyone else has left, and if you don't, wouldn't that be awkward?
"Hmph."
Bai Zhantang opened his mouth, wanting to say something several times but didn't know what to say. In the end, he snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Long Chen shrugged at Bai Shishi, looking helpless, implying that I was already being very polite—he just didn't like me.
Bai Shishi smiled faintly at Bai Zhantang's departure, not taking it to heart. After all, she rarely spoke to her father anyway.
"Boss!"
Just then, Bai Xiaole ran out, shouting excitedly when he saw Long Chen.
Not only Bai Xiaole, but many familiar faces of Long Chen such as Qin Feng, Qi Yu, Mu Qingyun, Luo Bing, Luo Ning, Zhong Ling, and Zhong Xiu all appeared before him.
When they saw Long Chen, they were all incredibly excited, especially the two sisters, Zhong Ling and Zhong Xiu, who were so moved they were in tears. They hadn't seen Long Chen in a long time.
They hadn't participated in the Three Thousand Worlds. After Long Chen left Lingxiao Academy, they never saw him again.
For Zhong Ling, Zhong Xiu, Mu Qingyun, and others, it was Long Chen who changed their lives. They were deeply grateful to him, but after he left, they seemed to lose their backbone and lived a hard life.
Bai Shishi and Bai Xiaole had entered the Three Thousand Worlds and brought back news of Long Chen, which made them feel greatly gratified. Now, seeing Long Chen in person, they couldn't contain their excitement.
"Brother Long Chen, we miss you so much." Zhong Ling walked up to Long Chen, unable to hold back her tears.
Long Chen had always treated them like his own sisters. Seeing her choked up, he felt a pang of sympathy, wiping her tears while cheering them up.
After their emotions had eased a bit, Long Chen asked Luo Bing and Luo Ning, "How is the Luo family doing now?" "
The Luo family has disappeared." When Long Chen asked about the Luo family, Luo Bing and Luo Ning's eyes instantly turned red.
"Disappear?" How could that be? When did this happen? Long Chen asked anxiously.
"It was after the end of the Three Thousand Worlds. When we returned to the Luo family, it had already become a deep pit, as if it had been dug out.
Except for us in the academy, no one else can be reached, and we don't know... She didn't know ... the usually strong Luo Bing couldn't hold back her tears any longer.
"After the Three Thousand Worlds?"
Long Chen immediately thought of his grandfather. When they broke the seal, could it have been his grandfather?
"Don't be afraid. I should know about this. I'll explain it later. They're all fine, very safe." Long Chen comforted her.
Hearing Long Chen say this, Luo Bing and Luo Ning were instantly overjoyed. This matter felt like a heavy stone weighing on their hearts. Long Chen actually knew about it, which made them feel a huge weight lifted and completely at ease. They realized that having Long Chen here was wonderful.
While everyone was talking, a sudden commotion erupted from afar. Bai Xiaole couldn't help but shout angrily, "
These people are too much, trying to enter the core area of our academy. I already said even we aren't qualified to enter there."Go, what do they even think they are? At
this moment, the noise outside grew louder and louder, with some even cursing loudly. Long Chen's face darkened: "
Come on, I'll take you all to beat them up. In a moment, just one look from me and you'll beat me to death. Don't give me any face."
