C373 Where to Go
Lee Zhuohua briefly explained his situation in the Transportation Hall, but he didn't tell everyone his real purpose of coming to Qian Yuan Academy. Under his explanation, the people of Yan Lai City felt a little more at ease.
As for how much truth there was in what Lee Zhuohua had said, they also had a vague guess. They also knew that there were some things that Lee Zhuohua did not want to tell them, which meant that Lee Zhuohua also had some secrets.
After that, under Lee Zhuohua's comforting, Chiang Yuan and the others finally brought everyone from Yan Lai City and left the Transportation Hall, rushing towards the Law Enforcement Hall.
Although Lee Zhuohua had rejected the invitation to enter the Law Enforcement Hall, Chiang Yuan still took the token of the Law Enforcement Elder from Zhou Baizhi. After all, to Chiang Yuan and the others, it would be of great help to them if they went to the Law Enforcement Hall.
And now that they had figured out Lee Zhuohua's true situation, they were no longer worried about him, but there was one thing that they knew very well. From today onwards, Lee Zhuohua would not have a good life in the Outer Palace.
"Well, you don't have to worry about me. With my current strength, as long as the Palace Elders don't make things difficult for me, even the older students won't be able to do anything to me." Lee Zhuohua seemed to be comforting everyone.
Indeed, with Lee Zhuohua's current combat strength, as long as it wasn't an expert above the Energy Shaping Realm, the older students of the Outer Palace would only be able to reach the peak of the Astral Reaching Realm. It wouldn't be easy for them to deal with Lee Zhuohua.
Chiang Yuan and the others naturally knew how powerful Lee Zhuohua was. With regards to this, they were no longer worried about Lee Zhuohua's future encounters.
"In that case, Brother Li, take care of yourself." Chiang Yuan said solemnly to Lee Zhuohua.
After Lee Zhuohua explained everything to the people from Yan Lai City, they did not continue to stay in the Transportation Hall. Under Chiang Yuan's lead, the people from Yan Lai City also headed towards the Law Enforcement Hall.
Right now, only Lee Zhuohua and Lian Nichang were left in the Transportation Hall.
Lee Zhuohua watched as the people from Yan Lai City left. His eyes slightly narrowed until their figures disappeared from his line of sight. Only then did he turn around to look at Lian Nichang, who was still standing in the Transportation Hall.
Just now, when Lee Zhuohua was explaining the situation to the people from Yan Lai City, she did not speak a word the entire time. She did not believe that the real situation would be as simple as Lee Zhuohua had said. Furthermore, Lee Zhuohua had already refused the invitation of the Law Enforcement Hall. His next destination had become a problem.
"Tell me the truth, what exactly are you thinking?" After the people from Yan Lai City had left, Lian Nichang officially asked.
When Lee Zhuohua heard Lian Nichang's question, the corner of his eyes revealed a surprised expression. He did not expect that his words just now would not make Lian Nichang believe him.
But now that he was alone with Lian Nichang, he was no longer worried about anyone probing his true intentions.
"Do you really want to know?" Lee Zhuohua asked with a smile.
"Yes." Lian Nichang nodded her head with a serious expression.
"Alright, then I'll tell you." Lee Zhuohua saw that Lian Nichang was determined to probe into his thoughts, so after thinking for a while, he did not want to use any other words to stall her.
"I just don't want anyone to restrict my freedom." Lee Zhuohua told him the truth in his heart.
But when Lian Nichang heard his words, she frowned.
You don't want to be restrained? However, since he had entered the Qian Yuan Academy, he was destined to be a disciple of the academy. If he wanted to obtain the resources of the academy, he would have to sacrifice some of his freedom.
Compared to those useless disciples, there were a lot of resources that could be obtained by entering the Law Enforcement Hall. Compared to these resources, freedom was nothing.
Lian Nichang could not understand why Lee Zhuohua would have such a thought. He seemed to be incompatible with the other disciples of the academy, as if he did not consider himself a disciple of the academy.
"Free?" Lian Nichang muttered in confusion.
Lee Zhuohua saw Lian Nichang's expression and could tell that she could not understand his thoughts. He could only shake his head. After all, everyone had a different view of things.
In Lian Nichang's eyes, Qian Yuan Academy might be her most powerful backing, and being able to obtain resources from it was nothing to her.
But Lee Zhuohua was different. First, he only recognized the Heavenly Faction as his own sect, and secondly, he did not think of himself as someone from this world. To him, he was only a passerby in this world. Sooner or later, he would abandon everything here and return to the universe.
"There will be a bond, a bond, an obsession that does not conform to my state of mind, a bond that binds me only to my path." Lee Zhuohua seemed to be explaining to himself.
When Lian Nichang heard this remark, she became even more confused. She could not understand what this had to do with her state of mind, but she could tell that this was Lee Zhuohua's true thoughts.
Just for the sake of freedom, he openly opposed the arrangements of the academy, and even rejected the invitation of the Law Enforcement Hall. In Lian Nichang's eyes, Lee Zhuohua was especially mysterious.
"Alright, there's no need to think about it. You just need to know that I'm not suitable to enter the Law Enforcement Hall." Lee Zhuohua said with a smile, telling Lian Nichang not to care about his thoughts.
After being said by Lee Zhuohua, Lian Nichang came back to her senses, but her gaze when looking at Lee Zhuohua was still solemn.
"Alright, although I don't understand your thoughts, this is your decision after all. The others can't say anything about it." Lian Nichang finally sighed and said. Since she couldn't understand it, she didn't want to think about it anymore.
"So, what are you going to do next? You will not be able to enter the Law Enforcement Hall, and the Outer Palace of the academy does not have a place for you." Lian Nichang gave up on the idea of continuing and changed the topic, asking Lee Zhuohua what he was going to do.
Lee Zhuohua was stunned for a moment when he heard Lian Nichang's question. Then, he laughed bitterly.
"I forgot about that. This time, I'm really homeless." Lee Zhuohua said self-deprecatingly.
When Lee Zhuohua heard Zhou Baizhi's words just now, the first thing he thought of was to refuse. He did not think about where he should go after rejecting the invitation of Law Enforcement Hall.
This question was difficult for Lee Zhuohua.
Lian Nichang saw that Lee Zhuohua was acting out of tune, and her eyes revealed an expression of unwillingness to admit defeat. She also shook her head.
"I knew that you didn't have any plans for what comes next. Seriously," Lian Nichang said as if she wanted to teach him a lesson.
Being lectured by the two women, Lee Zhuohua scratched his head in embarrassment and then looked at Lian Nichang with a pleading gaze.
"Why don't you take me in? Since you don't have any new students following you, you can be my teacher." Lee Zhuohua said jokingly.
But in his heart, he indeed had this thought. When he first came to Qian Yuan Academy, other than the people from Yan Lai City, the only person he was familiar with was Lian Nichang.
He did not plan on doing anything after that, but Lee Zhuohua in front of him was also an elder, so it was very easy for him to take him in.
Lian Nichang felt a little uncomfortable under Lee Zhuohua's gaze.
"All right, all right. Come back with me. From the looks of it, you have nowhere else to go." Lian Nichang rolled her eyes at Lee Zhuohua.
After getting Lian Nichang's agreement, Lee Zhuohua's face immediately revealed a smile.
"Alright." Lee Zhuohua said with a smile like a child.
