Two days later.
Chen Yu and a group of disciples safely returned to the Yunyue Sect.
This trip to the Hidden Lake Conference saw most disciples come away with something; even those without the means to bid at the auction had a chance to trade for what they needed after staying a day on Hidden Lake Island.
Chen Yu could be said to have returned with a full load.
After returning to the sect.
Chen Yu felt a tense and vigilant atmosphere throughout the entire sect; even in broad daylight, patrollers were visible everywhere.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Elder Qiu and Fairy Xia Yu seemed to have received some message, and took to the skies on flying beasts, heading straight for the sect's core area.
"Chen Yu, let's see how long you can remain smug..."
The Seventh Prince, Huangfulin, watched Chen Yu leaving with a trace of mockery and pity in his eyes.
At the Inner Sect residential area.
Chen Yu returned to his courtyard residence and organized the gains from his journey.
