Chapter 1019 - 1017, False Accusation
With the arrival of elders from various sects, Liangyi Sect was bustling with activity.
Lin Jue specially arranged a banquet to entertain everyone. Once the elders were seated, delicious dishes, fine wine, and heavenly fruits were all presented.
"Sect Master Lin, I heard that the ones who completed this mission were newly admitted disciples from the Sea Realm. Could we perhaps meet them?" Elder Li from Sacred Heavenly Gate asked.
"Our disciples who accompanied them on this mission said those two disciples are exceptionally talented—rare cultivation geniuses." Elder Xu from Magpie Mountain Sect said with a smile.
"Our new disciples said the same. Those two disciples are said to possess Pure Spirit Root Aptitude." Elder Xiao from Great Mahayana Island stroked his beard as he chuckled.
Lin Jue raised his wine glass to toast the group, took a sip, and smiled, "Esteemed elders! It’s not that I don’t want to let those two disciples meet you. The thing is, they’ve gone to our Liangyi Sect’s secret realm for cultivation."
"When will they come out?" Elder Xiao asked eagerly. His primary reason for coming this time, aside from seeing the Star Origin Fruit, was to meet those two disciples. He wanted to see just what kind of characters they were.
"This, I’m not sure either. I rewarded them this time with unlimited cultivation in the secret realm. They’ve only just entered; at the earliest, it’ll likely take two to three months," Lin Jue replied.
That Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo completed the mission so quickly was beyond his expectations. To protect them, he had to hide them. As long as they didn’t appear, other sects wouldn’t have an excuse to harm them. Giving them the unlimited token had this motive, too.
"So they won’t participate in the sect competition three months from now?" Elder Yao from Nine Stars Observatory asked. He was also eager to meet those two disciples.
