This little guy, how could he not use his brain a little? I’m deliberately looking for an excuse to give you something. "Her, huh? I’m worried she might open it halfway to take a look." Elder Ling’s expression was a bit unnatural. Su Chen suddenly realized, "That’s true, Senior Sister Ling’Er is indeed a bit too curious. Alright, I’ll go deliver the message for you now." Elder Ling nodded, looking at Su Chen with calm eyes, "Go ahead, come back here after delivering the message, I’ll give the Spiritual Artifact to you." Su Chen responded and happily ran out of the Sword Casting Pavilion with the message. On the way, Su Chen was so happy that he couldn’t contain himself, hopping and skipping like a bird. "An upper-class Spiritual Artifact, I’ve heard that even Senior Brother’s ’Purple Light Sword’ is just a lower-class Spiritual Treasure. Hehe, I’m really getting lucky this time!" He hurried to the Phantom Moon Pavilion, and sure enough, from afar, he saw Yue Dongbei accompanying Wen Ruyu standing on the pavilion, the scene looking very warm. When he stood panting in front of the two, Yue Dongbei seemed a bit surprised. "Su Chen, why did you run over here in such a hurry, is something wrong?" Wen Ruyu also looked at him with a perplexed gaze, a slight blush on her jade-like face. Su Chen took a deep breath, then took out the message from his chest, "Master, this is from Grandmaster Ling!" After handing the message to Yue Dongbei, he dashed off again, leaving Wen Ruyu both amused and exasperated, "This little rascal, what is he thinking all day, really endearing." Yet Yue Dongbei opened the letter enveloped in thought, carefully reading through it... "Grandmaster Ling, I’m back!" Su Chen ran back to the Sword Casting Pavilion, only to be shocked to find the door to the second floor heavily locked and Elder Ling already gone! Feeling anxious, he called out loudly, "Grandmaster Ling, I’m back, I delivered the message to Master!" But what responded to him was a long silence. In the vast Sword Casting Pavilion, only the sound of Su Chen’s intense heartbeat remained. He seemed dazed, feeling as if everything around him was spinning mercilessly. Grandmaster Ling actually broke his word, leaving before I came back? He stumbled and fell to the ground, pressing against the cold floor, his eyes growing red, his nose a bit sore. But just when he was utterly disappointed, his gaze happened to sweep across the big furnace, and his eyes lit up! "What’s that?" He got up and walked towards the big furnace. There he saw a thin silver-white gauze garment hanging beneath the furnace. Since there were forging tools like iron pliers and anvils by the furnace, it wasn’t easily noticeable. Su Chen picked up the gauze garment with surprise, only to see a note slowly fall to the ground. He quickly picked it up to see a line of bold and powerful text immediately catch his eyes: Su Chen, when you see this note, I have already left. This ’Heavenly Thunder Armor’ is the most precious upper-class Spiritual Artifact I have on hand, and also a top-quality piece of defensive equipment. Thank you for delivering the message for me, I give this to you as a token of gratitude. I might be gone for a year or two, or maybe three to five years, or perhaps I’ll never return. I hope you take care of yourself and bring honor to your master and the Carefree Sect. In the Eight-Years Battle four years from now, I hope you can use it... For some reason, after seeing these words, Su Chen’s eyes turned a bit watery again. Elder Ling was the senior he became familiar with first in the Carefree Sect, yet he left like this, and it’s uncertain if he can return. Thinking of his past stern teachings and rare faint smiles, Su Chen’s heart welled up with a strong sense of reluctance. He quickly ran outside the Sword Casting Pavilion, shouting towards the distance, "Grandmaster Ling, take care of yourself and be sure to come back and see Su Chen!" In the distance, Elder Ling, who was on his way, paused and looked back at the gradually distant Hundred Treasures Garden, a look of unpredicted comfort appearing on his face... Holding the silver-white gauze garment, Su Chen kept muttering about the Heavenly Thunder Armor all the way along. The more he looked at this gauze garment, the more he liked it, finally deciding to wear it when he returned at night. Returning to the meadow, sure enough, Yue Xianling was still there, and Manman was already awake, foolishly crawling around her in a clumsy manner. Su Chen’s arrival made them temporarily stop their frolicking, and a smile appeared on Yue Xianling’s face, "Su Chen, what did Grandmaster Ling ask you to do?" "He asked me to deliver a message to Master." Su Chen said a bit sullenly, then stepped towards Yue Xianling. "Haha, delivering a message is just that, why such a gloomy face. Come, have another bottle of Hundred Flowers Wine." Yue Xianling said with a chuckle. Su Chen paused for a moment, then suddenly ran off, "Senior Sister, I forgot something really important, I need to go back first!" Seeing him flee in panic, Yue Xianling couldn’t help but laugh heartily, then pouted a bit unhappily, "Is my brewing really that awful..." At her feet, Manman suddenly hugged her leg, rubbing his little head against her affectionately. Yue Xianling chuckled softly, picked up Manman, and gazed at the gradually setting sun, "Let’s go, we should head back too."... That night, Su Chen was exceptionally excited, the result being that he overslept the next day. He hurriedly got dressed, rushed out of the little wooden house like the wind, even skipping breakfast, heading straight for the plaza. The plaza was already packed with people. When they saw Su Chen, many automatically made way for him, allowing him to pass through without obstruction. "Is the next match Su Chen’s? Let’s hurry and watch!" "It should be, otherwise why would he be in such a hurry. Quick, or there won’t be any place to stand later!"
