71: Chapter 71 Seclusion

"What could Chen'er possibly be doing? Make him come out at once!"

"This..."

Island Master Mu looked at Luo Li awkwardly, not knowing how to explain.

With Yuan Ji, the father-in-law, standing behind Luo Li as well, it was even more embarrassing.

"I'm going to find him!"

After waiting for a long time without getting an answer from Island Master Mu, and seeing the other daughters-in-law remaining silent one by one, Luo Li walked straight toward the backyard of the Exotic Beast Mansion.

This morning, Yuan Ji had received a voice transmission from his own father.

The Dragon Clan Chief had actually arrived in person, ordering them all to prepare for the reception.

Naturally, the two of them, Luo Li and her husband, dared not delay and rushed over here immediately.

When they stepped out, they discovered that the entire Azure Dragon Palace had already been mobilized.

Elders who usually remained in seclusion had also emerged one by one to summon their disciples.

This was the arrival of the Dragon Clan's top brass. If any disciple caught their eye and received even a small favor, they would benefit immensely.

But what Luo Li had not expected was that she would be blocked at the door upon her arrival, and everyone she asked was hesitant and stuttering.

Since that was the case, she would have to go find him herself.

"Mother, Mother..." Several women called out from behind her, but Luo Li ignored them.

She had already walked to the outside of Yuan Chen's room.

Just as she arrived at the door, she saw Bai Ning and the others walking over while talking and laughing. When they reached the front and saw the couple, they froze in surprise.

"Mother?" Luo Li looked at them and said indifferently, "Oh, are you all here to find Yuan Chen too?"

After exchanging greetings, she continued walking inside. After taking two steps forward, she patted the barrier in front of her. "Yuan Chen, open the door!"

Both of them were registered in the overall Formation of the Exotic Beast Mansion, but they were not authorized for this specific room of Yuan Chen's. They still needed Yuan Chen's consent to enter.

While knocking on the door, she looked casually at Bai Ning and the others. "What has Chen'er been doing these days? Why hasn't he replied to any messages?"

Before coming, they had called out to Yuan Chen using sound transmission talismans, but they had never received any response.

The Dragon Clan's top brass could arrive at any moment. To avoid the situation where they arrived but Yuan Chen was nowhere to be seen, the two had come specifically to inform him.

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of Bai Ning and the others flushed red, and they all became somewhat awkward.

In the end, it was Xue Lin who blinked her eyes and looked meaningfully at her former good sister, saying, "Mother, you know how it is!"

Even though so much time had passed, hearing Xue Lin call her "Mother" still made her feel somewhat unaccustomed. Between Xue Lin and Shui Monong, every time they called her "Mother," her toes couldn't help but curl up.

However, there were even more awkward things now. Having been good sisters with Xue Lin for so many years, combined with her knowledge of her own son, she instantly understood what was going on.

Fortunately, there was a Formation protecting it; otherwise, if she and her husband had barged in...

Just as she was preparing to leave, the figure of Liu Hongyi appeared within the Formation.

"Sister Bai, you're here? Hurry up and go in; the others are almost done. Remember to queue up properly, hehe!"

"Oh! Mother?"

At that moment, Bai Ning and the others were directly opposite the exit of the Formation, perfectly blocking the figures of Luo Li and her husband. Liu Hongyi and her precious disciple hadn't noticed them after coming out.

It was only after making a couple of jokes that she saw Luo Li and her husband. But who were they? They were demonesses. After a slight pause, they returned to normal.

"Mother, why don't you go in and sit for a while? According to Husband, he'll be finished in another month or so."

A few black lines appeared on Luo Li's forehead. Only these demonesses completely disregarded her status as their mother-in-law and dared to say anything.

Sit my foot! Also, what the hell is "another month or so"?

"No need, and it's nothing major! I'll find Chen'er in a few days when he comes out."

After saying this, she took the still-bewildered Yuan Ji and left in a hurry. She still couldn't handle such uninhibited remarks from her daughters-in-law.

As she was leaving, the voice of Senior Sister Mi Tiantian rang out from behind. "Heh, we're all experienced people here, yet Mother is still shy!" "Exactly, exactly!"

Luo Li's pace quickened by another two points. Just as she walked to the front courtyard, she saw Island Master Mu walking over hesitantly.

"Mother, why don't you go back first? As soon as Husband comes out of seclusion, I will have him go find you."

She had just recently become pregnant, and since no one usually visited the mansion, she was managing the residence for the time being.

Just as Luo Li was about to speak, Yuan Ji tugged at the corner of her clothes from behind.

"So Chen'er is in seclusion; in that case, let's not disturb him. The Dragon Clan's top brass will still take some time to arrive. Let's come back and check in a few days!"

Seclusion my foot! Luo Li cursed silently in her heart. But since Yuan Chen was busy with matters, she had no way to go in and make him stop. Sighing helplessly, she looked at Island Master Mu and said,

"Very well. However, you should still inform Yuan Chen about the news of the Dragon Clan Headquarters Clan Chief coming."

"His Mother, Chen'er is in seclusion..." "Enough, enough! Just stop talking." Luo Li interrupted Yuan Ji directly and said irritably.

"Alright, I will inform Husband." Island Master Mu replied immediately.

That night, Island Master Mu found General Yang Jiuer, who was preparing to change shifts. Not long after, Yuan Chen learned the news of Clan Leader Ao Yi's arrival from General Yang Jiuer.

"Don't worry about it, let's continue!" He curled his lips. Isn't it just the Dragon Clan Chief? Making a fuss over nothing.

Right now, it was the other party that wanted to cultivate his daughter. Even if he didn't give his daughter to them, Yuan Chen could cultivate her himself. Therefore, there was absolutely no need to fawn over them.

He was well aware of the preciousness of a Top-tier Divine Beast. Therefore, he just waved his hand casually, pulled the two fair, white bodies on his left and right into his arms, and got to work.

Afterward, as the time for the arrival of Clan Leader Ao Yi and the others drew nearer, Luo Li sent people to find Yuan Chen several more times, but each time the news was that Yuan Chen had not yet come out of seclusion.

Under these circumstances, the three of them—Clan Leader Ao Yi and his companions—finally arrived. In an instant, everyone in the Azure Dragon Palace, young and old, mobilized and lined up in an orderly fashion at the entrance of the Azure Dragon Palace.

Clan Leader Ao Yi and his group landed very calmly. After landing, they scanned the crowd directly, then frowned.

Where was the Top-tier Divine Beast? Why couldn't they sense it? They wouldn't have made this trip for nothing, right? He spoke indifferently, "Has everyone arrived?"

Yuan Da's eyes lit up. The opportunity had arrived. On such an important occasion, Yuan Chen actually hadn't come? Thinking about how his own son was still in the other party's hands and hadn't returned...

"My Lord, Yuan Chen has not yet come." He then looked at Yuan Ji with ill intent. "Second Brother, the Clan Chief has come, and Yuan Chen hasn't even shown his face. Isn't he showing too little respect for my Dragon Clan Seniors?"

After saying this, he even secretly glanced at Clan Leader Ao Yi and the other two. Clan Leader Ao Yi looked at Yuan Da with an expressionless face. Was he using them so obviously? Also, Yuan Chen? Wasn't this the person they were looking for!

He looked at Yuan Da. The two sides clearly had a grudge. Since that was the case... "Noisy!" The irritable Elder Hei Yan beside him said impatiently, and then slapped him across the face.
