Zhu Chongjiu was still in a daze when he heard Lu Chen say, "Master, where is Elder Ning?"
"He, he said he went to cultivate in the back mountain."
Zhu Chongjiu quickly replied.
"Back mountain?"
Lu Chen found it strange. Was there something that couldn't be done here and required going to the back mountain?
He looked at the small bell in his hand, and beneath his pupils, he immediately discerned that this bell was different from the small bell Ning Changzhong had given him.
The patterns on this bell took a distinctly different course.
"Master, let's first return and talk."
He had already been cautious of Ning Changzhong, and now that he had devoured the Fire Essence here, Lu Chen's goal had been achieved; there was no need to stay any longer.
"Ah, leave? Yes, leave, let's go back first!"
Zhu Chongjiu turned and walked towards the outside of the cave dwelling, while Lu Chen watched his back, lost in thought.
