[My Senior Brother is Super Strong] Chapter 57
Lu Chen said, "It's okay. You don't need to say it. It's not important to me anyway."
Although Xia Yu was indifferent, she felt a little upset when she heard this.
It's not important to you? You want to work without contributing, right?
No, she couldn't let him think that way.
Xia Yu thought to herself.
This secret realm was very important to her; otherwise, she would not have asked anyone for help.
After thinking for a while, Xia Yu sat down where Bian Rourou had been sitting just moments before.
She faced Lu Chen and, following Bian Rourou's example, stared at him.
Lu Chen could ignore Bian Rourou's gaze and remain still for a long time.
But for Xia Yu, he couldn't do the same.
The most beautiful woman in Qizhou was staring at him. Feeling Xia Yu's gaze, Lu Chen couldn't calm himself in the end.
"Sister Xia Yu, I know I'm handsome; don't fall in love with me; you're not my type."
"Bah, shameless!" Bian Rourou couldn't help but exclaim. "Who do you think you are?"
Xia Yu felt her cheeks flush.
Since her debut, no one had teased her like Lu Chen.
Xia Yu smiled, "Junior Brother Lu, are you sure you don't need to hear about the situation in the secret realm?"
Lu Chen replied, "Okay, just say it, and I'll listen."
Xia Yu smiled even more happily.
This time, she had won.
Afterward, Xia Yu introduced the situation regarding the secret realm.
According to Xia Yu, this was a five-element secret realm, divided into five areas: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
They needed to find the core of the Five Elements in each area and defeat it to pacify that area.
Only by pacifying the five areas could they complete the exploration of the secret realm and find its heart.
Xia Yu said, "It took my junior sister and me half a month to calm down the wood attribute area."
"However, I found that the spiritual energy in the secret realm dissipated very quickly. It might take a month or two at most, and I was worried that it would be too late, so I could only seek help from Junior Brother Lu and Sister Xiao."
"Junior Brother Lu and Sister Xiao will distribute the treasures you find inside; I only want the heart of the secret realm."
Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but glance at Xia Yu.
Is this little girl planning to use the heart of the secret realm to increase her strength and break through to the Nascent Soul stage?
The heart of the secret realm in the Five Elements Secret Realm is a priceless treasure that cannot be bought with any amount of spiritual stones.
If it were someone else, Lu Chen would have to bargain.
Lu Chen asked, "Sister Xia Yu, are you sure that you are the only one who knows this secret?"
Xia Yu nodded. "I spent a lot of resources to acquire this information."
Lu Chen said, "You paid a big price, and maybe others have as well."
Xia Yu's tone turned serious. "Junior Brother Lu, what do you mean?"
"The spiritual energy of the secret realm dissipates so quickly; what do you think that indicates?"
Xia Yu's indifferent expression shifted; she could no longer maintain her previous calm.
The aura of the secret realm dissipating so rapidly suggested that someone else had opened it.
If multiple entrances had been opened, the spiritual energy would deplete faster.
With the spiritual energy of this secret realm diminishing so quickly, Lu Chen's words implied that someone else had also entered.
Thinking this, even Xia Yu, who had maintained her composure, felt a little nervous and worried.
The heart of the secret realm was very important to her.
Realizing this, Xia Yu called out to the shipman outside, "Can you speed up?"
Lu Chen replied again, "What's the hurry? No matter how fast we go, there's no rush now."
"It's fine even if the secret realm is broken. The worst-case scenario is just to rob it."
Lu Chen's tone was calm, as if he didn't take the situation seriously.
While talking, he even yawned lazily.
For some reason, seeing Lu Chen like this made Xia Yu feel calm again.
Xia Yu glanced at Lu Chen knowingly and smiled, "Junior Brother Lu is right; no need to rush."
Xia Yu understood that Lu Chen was stronger than she had imagined.
For his state of mind, she realized that she, Xia Yu, couldn't compare.
Ironically, she believed she was good at cultivating her mind, remaining unaffected by external pleasures or inner sorrow.
Unexpectedly, her mood had fluctuated today.
Xia Yu sighed inwardly; he was indeed worthy of being Ji Yan's junior brother; he was far from ordinary.
One family and two prides.
What was even more terrifying was that Lu Chen and Ji Yan had both become disciples of Lin Tian.
Ji Yan had shown his prowess, winning countless battles and rising to become the number one among the youth in Qizhou.
Faced with Ji Yan's terrible strategies, the young people of Qizhou wailed, yielding one after another.
Everyone knew Ji Yan from Lingxiao Peak of the Qingyun Sect, but they had no idea that he had a junior brother.
Lu Chen had hidden himself for so long and had never been known to outsiders.
He was low-key.
After pondering this, Xia Yu became curious about Lu Chen.
She asked, "Junior Brother Lu, how does your strength compare with Senior Brother Ji Yan?"
Lu Chen said, "I can pin him to the ground and rub his face in it, but to spare my older brother's dignity, I usually let him go."
Lu Chen said this very naturally, without even a hint of embarrassment.
Upon hearing this, Xia Yu was surprised. So powerful?
Xiao Ye couldn't help but interject, "Second Senior Brother, stop bragging. When you fought with Senior Brother Ji Yan, how could you possibly beat him?"
Lu Chen replied, "Don't you believe it?"
"The most important lesson for us at Lingxiao Peak is to respect our elders and love the young."
Ahem.
As soon as Lu Chen made this statement, Xia Yu and Fang Xiao couldn't help but choke.
Bian Rourou disdainfully chimed in, "Respect your elders and love the young? I don't see it. What I see is a lack of respect for your master and senior brother."
Lu Chen paid her little mind, unfazed.
Xiao Ye defended her senior brother, saying, "Sister Rourou, you don't understand."
At first, Xiao Ye didn't fully grasp it, but she came to understand later.
Both master and senior brother were gentle individuals who acted according to their preferences.
They wouldn't obsess over superficial etiquette; they did whatever made them comfortable.
Although he often spoke of fighting and killing, Xiao Ye firmly believed that at the critical moment, her master and senior brother would never let each other down.
Both would be willing to sacrifice their lives for one another.
"This is our sect."
Bian Rourou rolled her eyes in anger. This little white rabbit is so naive.
Well, while Xia Yu couldn't obtain the answer she wanted for the first question, she moved on to the next.
She asked, "Junior Brother Lu, since you are so powerful, why are you unknown?"
Bian Rourou rolled her eyes again. Is he really that powerful?
She didn't think so at all.
Xiao Ye smiled and said to Xia Yu, "Sister Xia Yu, I know this."
"Because the Second Senior Brother is lazy."
