Chapter 2538: Accepting the Inheritance (1/2)
Not a single person expected it to be Tan Juan!
Even people like Tyrant Chu and Mo Cangli stared at her in disbelief. They weren’t the only ones as the Cangqiong Old Man raised a brow in shock.
Everyone was basically certain that Tan Juan was the first to enter the sixth floor of the Cangqiong Holy Manor, and even if she wasn’t the first, she should be a close second.
However, she was transported out of the manor before three other people!
They screamed in shock when Tan Juan appeared.
“Master, I’m sorry.” Tan Juan quickly approached Xue Lingyun to apologize.
She knew that her master was extremely confident in her abilities, and she had failed to live up to her expectations. She hadn’t even seen the shadow of the key to the seventh floor before leaving the manor.
Snapping back to reality, Xue Lingyun forced herself to laugh, “It’s fine…”
However, was it really fine? The trace of bitterness in her laughter told everyone it wasn’t fine.
She was the Cangqiong Old Man’s daughter in name, and she could be counted as a nominal disciple of his. If Tan Juan accepted the old man’s inheritance, it would be the best-case scenario for three generations of master and disciple.
The greater the expectations were, the greater the disappointment was.
“Master, is Xie Bufan still in there?” Tan Juan asked. From what she knew, Xie Bufan was the only other person capable of holding the key.
“That’s right. However, Xie Bufan isn’t the only one inside. Li Chen and Huang Xiaolong are both still there.”
“What?! How can there be three of them? Is Huang Xiaolong still in the manor?!” A terrifying possibility flashed through her mind.
Was the mysterious third person Huang Xiaolong?!
“Yes.” Xue Lingyun nodded. “Huang Xiaolong isn’t out yet.”
Complicated feelings welled up in Xue Lingyun’s heart when she looked at her disciple. Even Tan Juan was transported out, but Huang Xiaolong managed to remain in the manor. It was an extremely embarrassing fact for her.
One had to know that Tan Juan was ranked number-one in the Trial of Blood!
“Senior Sister, are you alright?!” Ji Xinyi and Lin Xiaoying rushed over the moment Tan Juan returned.
“I’m fine.”
Even though she had managed to obtain several holy herbs and a treasure rarely seen in the Holy World, she couldn’t cheer herself up. After all, she failed to obtain the biggest treasure of them all! If she was being honest with herself, she was a little reluctant to resign to her fate.
However, everything was already set in stone now that she was out.
Not too long after she emerged, the light around the sixth floor disappeared.
Everyone stared at the sudden change in the situation with their jaws agape.
The light would only disappear after everyone from the floor was transported out! From what they could see, there wasn’t anyone left on the sixth floor of the manor!
However, there were three more people who hadn’t made it out!
How was this possible?!
“This can’t be… Li Chen, Xie Bufan, and Huang Xiaolong are still in the manor! Don’t tell me the three of them managed to enter the seventh floor…,” Jin Nu gasped in shock.
As soon as he spoke, everyone felt their heads spinning.
Three people entered the seventh floor of the Cangqiong Holy Manor?!
Was something like this even possible?
Everyone stared at the Cangqiong Old Man and waited for a reply.
Xue Lingyun was the first to open her mouth to question her master, “Master, did the three of them really enter the seventh floor of the Cangqiong Holy Manor?”
“Hehe, since they’re no longer on the sixth floor, where else can they be?” The Cangqiong Old Man chuckled softly.
“Didn’t you say that only a single person can obtain your inheritance?! You were the one who said that only one person could enter the seventh floor!” Xue Lingyun asked in confusion.
