"Two senior sisters, you can't go any further from here."
Just as Yuan Liuer was flying with Hu Ke'er towards the Sea of Clouds, a young Taoist boy appeared and blocked the two of them.
"We're already inner - court disciples. Can't we go in now?"
Yuan Liuer said as she took out the inner - court token she had obtained before.
"The inner court hasn't opened yet. The sect master is discussing important matters inside. If you two senior sisters have something to do, please come back later."
The young Taoist boy said softly to them.
"No way. I have to go in now and ask the sect master about Senior Brother Chen's whereabouts. Hurry up and get out of the way, or I won't be polite!"
This was just passing the buck!
Previously, Hu Ke'er had been shooed away by the sect master. Now, being turned away by this Taoist boy in front of her made her quite angry.
"Anyway, I won't leave until I see Senior Brother Chen today."
"Senior sister, please don't make things difficult for me!"
The young Taoist boy said with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Little junior brother, you've heard what my junior sister said. I advise you to get out of the way quickly. Don't think my junior sister's cultivation is low, but she's really powerful in battle!"
Yuan Liuer also said to the young Taoist boy.
"Do the two senior sisters want to break into the Sea of Clouds Formation by force? You two can't break this formation. Just go back quickly!"
The young Taoist boy showed a bitter smile.
"Stop talking nonsense. Don't try to send me away again. I want to see Senior Brother Chen!"
As Hu Ke'er said this, she took out her Colt.
"Alright, stop acting like a spoiled child. If you want to go in, come with me!"
Just as Hu Ke'er was about to fire, a familiar voice sounded. Hu Ke'er turned her head and saw her master and another old man in a Taoist robe.
"Master, you've finally showed up!"
Hu Ke'er said quickly when she saw her master.
"How is Senior Brother Chen now?"
"It's a bit troublesome."
Master said with a serious face.
"Ah?"
Seeing her master's rarely - seen serious look, Hu Ke'er realized the seriousness of the problem and became even more worried.
"Where is Senior Brother Chen now? Can I see him?"
"Of course you can go and see that brat. He's with the sect master now. Just come in with me."
Master said softly and then pointed at the old man in the Taoist robe beside him.
"By the way, this is your Uncle Wen. He's Senior Brother Chen's master."
"Hello, Uncle Wen!"
Hearing her master's words, Hu Ke'er sized up the uncle beside him.
"Um."
Uncle Wen nodded when he heard Hu Ke'er's words and then stroked his white beard.
"Let's go. Senior Brother, the sect master, should have been waiting for a while."
"Um."
Hearing Uncle Wen's words, Master nodded.
"Well, I won't go in. Junior Sister Ke'er, you go in!"
Seeing this, Yuan Liuer said.
"Okay, thank you, senior sister!"
Hu Ke'er said gratefully.
"Alright, let's go."
As Master said this, he gently waved his sleeve, and then white clouds gathered under Hu Ke'er's feet. Softly, they carried her towards the Sea of Clouds.
"Uncles, please come in. The sect master has been waiting for you inside for a long time."
The young Taoist boy said respectfully to the two of them, and then gently waved his hand. The Sea of Clouds Formation in front of them quickly dispersed, and Hu Ke'er followed her master into the inner court.
"I've been in closed - door cultivation for so many years, but I didn't expect this place to remain unchanged!"
Uncle Wen sighed.
"Old Wen, stop sighing. Go and see your disciple first. This trouble might be quite big."
"Well, I left that brat to you before I went into closed - door cultivation. What did you promise me? You said you would definitely keep that boy out of trouble during my closed - door cultivation. Look at the situation now. How are you going to explain this to me?"
Uncle Wen frowned and said.
"You said it was during your closed - door cultivation. That brat was fine when you just came out during the inner - court test. I'm not taking the blame for this. You know how troublesome that boy is. I've done my best to take care of him until now!"
Master also stroked his chin and said.
"Anyway, stop arguing about whose responsibility it is. Let's go to Senior Brother, the sect master, and see the situation first!"
"Um, okay!"
Hearing Master's words, Uncle Wen nodded, and then the two of them quickened their pace and entered the meeting hall, while Hu Ke'er followed behind them.
"Senior Brother, the sect master!"
As soon as they entered the hall, Master and Uncle Wen saw the sect master pacing back and forth in the meeting hall. They greeted him.
"Junior Brother Wen, you've come out of closed - door cultivation?"
The sect master widened his eyes and was stunned for a moment when he saw Uncle Wen. Then he said happily.
"You've come just in time. Come and take a look at this boy's situation."
As the sect master said this, he pointed at Chen Tianyi, who was lying there unconscious.
"Senior Brother Chen!"
When Hu Ke'er saw Chen Tianyi, she quickly ran over.
"Why hasn't Senior Brother Chen woken up yet?"
Hu Ke'er asked the sect master.
"Let me take a look first."
The sect master shook his head and didn't answer, while Uncle Wen also walked to Hu Ke'er's side.
"Um."
Hearing Uncle Wen's words, Hu Ke'er moved aside.
"Hmm?"
Uncle Wen gently held Chen Tianyi's wrist and then frowned.
"How is Senior Brother Chen?"
Seeing Uncle Wen frowning, Hu Ke'er asked nervously and concernedly.
"This is really troublesome this time."
Uncle Wen frowned.
"Previously, the bloodline power in his body seemed to have completely awakened, but his physical body couldn't bear this power at all, which directly consumed his origin. His origin is damaged, so he hasn't been able to wake up."
"No way. The bloodline power in this boy's body isn't even pure. How could it awaken?"
Hearing Uncle Wen's words, Master was also surprised.
"I'm not sure about this."
Uncle Wen shook his head and said.
"After all, he's the first half - blood to awaken his bloodline in these thousands of years!"
"But generally, awakening the bloodline shouldn't damage the origin, right?"
The sect master also asked.
"This might be because he's a half - blood and his physical body isn't strong enough."
"What half - blood? What bloodline power? What are you uncles talking about?"
Hearing their conversation, Hu Ke'er was completely confused.
"Didn't that brat tell you?"
Master frowned when he heard Hu Ke'er's words.
"Actually, that brat isn't an ordinary person. Half of his blood comes from the Celestial Realm."
"The Celestial Realm?"
Hu Ke'er asked in confusion.
"Master, do you mean that Senior Brother Chen's parents are immortals?!"
"Yes."
Master nodded and said.
"This boy was saved by your uncle with great difficulty, hiding him from the Celestial Realm. Let him explain the specific situation to you."
