195: Chapter 195 One after another

The Cloud Spirit Secret Realm passage opened wide.

Before long, under the watchful eyes of the Great Chu Dynasty's current Your Majesty, Chu Xingwen, Dynasty Academy Dean Chu Ming, and several Dynasty Academy Elders, two female Green-Robed Disciples flew out from the blue portal in the Void Realm.

In an instant, Chu Xingwen, Chu Ming, and the several Academy Elders beside them all shifted their gaze to the two female Green-Robed Disciples who had emerged first.

The green robes of the two female Green-Robed Disciples were already tattered, and even the defensive inner armor they wore underneath had numerous claw marks of various kinds.

Everyone with experience understood very well that these marks were certainly left during encounters and battles with Yao Beasts in the Secret Realm.

However, the only thing that greatly comforted everyone was that although the two were disheveled and slightly fatigued, they had not suffered any overly serious injuries.

At the same time, as Chu Xingwen, Chu Ming, and others were observing the two female Green-Robed Disciples who had emerged first, the two female Green-Robed Disciples who had flashed out came directly before Chu Xingwen and Chu Ming, respectfully cupping their fists in greeting.

"Academy Disciple Chen Huashu respectfully greets Your Majesty."

"Greetings, Dean, and all Elders!"

"...Academy Disciple Wang Ling respectfully greets Your Majesty!"

"Greetings, Dean, and all Elders."

Both simultaneously cupped their fists and respectfully greeted Chu Xingwen, Chu Ming, and the several Academy Elders beside them.

Looking at the two slightly fatigued individuals before him, Chu Xingwen immediately spoke, giving instructions.

"Seeing that both of you are clearly exhausted, there's no rush to report your gains. First, go to the side and rest for a while. Once everyone has come out, we will compile and tally everything together."

Chu Ming, who was originally standing by, preparing to say something, saw that Chu Xingwen had already made such arrangements, so he no longer found it appropriate to say much. He then nodded to Chen Huashu and Wang Ling before him.

Upon seeing this, Chen Huashu and Wang Ling, who had emerged first, immediately bowed to Chu Xingwen, Chu Ming, and the others before them, then slowly walked to an open space nearby, sat down cross-legged, and closed their eyes to rest.

Chu Xingwen, Chu Ming, and the others said nothing about this. They merely gave a brief glance, then immediately refocused their attention on the blue portal in the Void Realm ahead.

Subsequently, within a short half an hour, every little while, one or several Green-Robed Disciples would fly out together. Among the Green-Robed Disciples who emerged, their expressions varied: some had faces full of joy, while others were filled with dejection.

However, there were also those whose expressions remained unchanged, utterly calm, showing not the slightest hint of abnormality.

Chu Xingwen scanned the Green-Robed Disciples who had already emerged, some of whom were meditating and resting their eyes, while others were chatting and sharing with acquaintances nearby. He then turned to Chu Ming beside him and asked faintly.

"Chu Ming, how many Green-Robed Disciples have yet to emerge from the Cloud Spirit Secret Realm?"

Hearing his Your Majesty's inquiry, Chu Ming dared not be negligent. He immediately made a rough count of the Green-Robed Disciples who had already emerged from the Cloud Spirit Secret Realm, then after a quick mental calculation, he respectfully cupped his hands and responded to Chu Xingwen beside him.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, as of now, thirty-one Green-Robed Disciples have yet to emerge from the Cloud Spirit Secret Realm."

After speaking, Chu Ming paused, then looked up at Chu Xingwen beside him, and then slowly emphasized.

"Your Majesty, among these thirty-two who have not yet emerged, are the Second Prince, the Third Prince, the Ninth Princess, and Ling Yong and Ling Zhong of the Ling Family, totaling five individuals."

"Hmm?"

When Chu Xingwen heard Chu Ming say earlier that thirty-two people had not yet emerged from the Cloud Spirit Secret Realm, he didn't react much. However, when he heard that the Second Prince, the Third Prince, the Ninth Princess, and Ling Yong and Ling Zhong of the Ling Family, totaling five individuals, had not yet emerged, he immediately frowned in surprise.

He then immediately turned to Chu Ming beside him and asked.

"Chu Ming, how much time is left until the Cloud Spirit Secret Realm closes?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Ming immediately responded without hesitation.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is only one last quarter of an hour until the Cloud Spirit Secret Realm closes."

As Chu Ming's words fell, Chu Xingwen, who was beside him, said no more. He merely frowned deeply, a hint of worry now in his heart.

Seeing this, Chu Ming understood the situation. His current worry was no less than Chu Xingwen's, as he too was a member of the royal Family, and Chu Lin and Chu Yunmeng could be considered very outstanding Family Disciples among the younger generation of the royal Family.

Both of them, each with their own thoughts, looked at the blue portal in the Void Realm, no longer speaking.

However, it was clear that Chu Xingwen and Chu Ming's worries were superfluous. Not long after their conversation ended, three figures immediately flew out together.

The three were none other than the Great Chu Dynasty's Second Prince Chu Lin, Third Prince Chu Tianyun, and Ninth Princess Chu Yunmeng. Moreover, their condition was excellent; they were not as disheveled as the Green-Robed Disciples who had emerged earlier.

Furthermore, all three had faces filled with joy, suggesting that their trip to the Cloud Spirit Secret Realm must have yielded good harvests.

"Your children respectfully greet Imperial Father!"

"Greetings, Imperial Uncle!"

The three immediately came before Chu Xingwen and Chu Ming, respectfully cupping their fists in greeting.

"Hahaha, good, good, good, all of you may rise."

Seeing his three children return safely, and in excellent condition, Chu Xingwen immediately burst into laughter.

"Thank you, Imperial Father."

Upon receiving Chu Xingwen's command, the three immediately expressed their gratitude. They then quickly rose.

After rising, Chu Lin and Chu Tianyun stood quietly by, awaiting Chu Xingwen's next instruction. However, Chu Yunmeng, who had been showered with affection since childhood, paid no mind to such formalities. She immediately hurried to Chu Xingwen's side, holding his arm, and playfully said with a smile.

"Imperial Father... Imperial Father, let me tell you, my gains in the Cloud Spirit Secret Realm this time were immense..."

Listening to Chu Yunmeng's incessant chattering beside him, Chu Xingwen did not interrupt her. Instead, he listened patiently. However, he did not neglect Chu Lin and Chu Tianyun either; he immediately waved his hand, instructing them to find a place to rest and wait nearby.

Upon seeing this, Chu Lin and Chu Tianyun immediately understood. Neither of them was surprised by Chu Yunmeng's behavior, as their little sister, who was showered with affection, had not acted this way for the first time...
