Chapter 552 The Storm at Sea_1
"Please forgive me, Sect Leader!" Huo Ji’s body trembled as she bowed deeply and spoke.
"Why should the Sect Leader be so enraged? Elder Huo was also trying to help the Five Elements Sect retrieve the treasure, wasn’t she?"
A masculine voice sounded, and a man dressed in a green robe, with a head of green hair, entered the room. He had two green beards and walked in with a smile.
"Elder Lin, you have left seclusion?" Duan Ningyu’s eyes narrowed slightly at the sight of this person, a flash of surprise crossing her face.
"Greetings to the Sect Leader." The man in the green robe saluted Duan Ningyu with respect.
This man was Lin Zhishan, the Elder of the Wood Sect within the Five Elements Sect and a strong fighter from the generation of Duan Ningyu’s father.
"It looks like Elder Lin has recovered his strength!" Duan Ningyu remarked coolly.
"Thanks to the Sect Leader’s great fortune, I have almost fully recovered. Moreover, Elder Jin will be exiting seclusion soon. Once we gather the Five Elements Pearls, we won’t have to hide in this sunless place any longer, and we will be able to restore the former glory of our Five Elements Sect," Lin Zhishan declared confidently.
Duan Ningyu’s eyes narrowed a bit more, but he said nothing. The kneeling Huo Ji’s lips curled up in a hint of pleasure.
The next day, Ye Luo slowly opened his eyes, only to find a figure lying on top of him—it was Yan Ling.
Yan Ling had sneaked into his room last night, claiming that since he would be away for a few days, she needed to make sure her "public rations" were replenished. Thus, last night Ye Luo had "plowed the fields" all evening to ensure Yan Ling would sleep satisfied.
After leaving the room, Ye Luo called Ling Qingya to inform her of his departure and to tell Xue Tu and his people to protect Ling Qingya well.
