Chapter 261 - The Master Returns
Lei Yu turned his head forward and saw an old building. A wall had surrounded a courtyard with the old building in the midst, but what made Lei Yu feel weird was that there was no main gate. Perhaps due to everyone being able to fly, gates were no longer needed here.
The courtyard was huge but everything in the surrounding looked quite old. The ground and the walls all had deep cracks in them. Who knows if it was due to fights or just the passage of time?
The courtyard was filled with small two-story buildings that looked like it was for people to live in that gave off an elegant and quiet appearance. In the center of it all was a taller ancient looking building. In the middle of this tall building was a plaque hanging there, and on this plague that had a blue background with gold lettering were the three words: “Thunder Rune Sect.”
The two humans and one beast arrived at the empty grounds in front of the tall building. Right after that, two youngsters came forth to greet them.
“Senior brother, it’s been hard on you!” One of the youngsters smiled.
The person that led Lei Yu and Big White here then smiled, “It was my responsibility, is the master around?”
“Master has gone out.”
The person nodded and turned around, “Would you two please come with me, we will rest in the guest rooms for now. Once master comes back, we will go pay respects to him.”
Lei Yu responded with a smile. Along with Big White, they followed behind this person to the courtyard and into a two-story building.
The layout of the room was very simple; there were only two beds, a bookcase and a chair. Lei Yu then said some polite words of gratitude to the person.
“My name is He Chuang, just look for me if you need anything.”
“Thank you.”
After He Chuang left, Lei Yu sat on a bed and looked outside at the landscape. Although the scenery here wasn’t as beautiful as the scenery outside the walls, it was much better than what the Chaotic Star Sea offered.
“Young master, how long are we going to wait for this Thunder Rune Sect’s Sovereign to return?” Asked Big White while lying on top of the other bed.
“We’ll wait for a bit. I just feel like there’s something familiar here. Maybe it’s not a feeling and rather the aura this place exudes. It’s just that I don’t understand it myself right now, maybe we’ll know when their Sovereign returns.”
It was already the third day yet they haven’t seen the Sovereign return yet. Even though during this period, there were people coming by to deliver water and food, Lei Yu still felt anxious. He wanted to get some current information about the Immortal World but continuously waiting here was making him antsy.
“My apologies but we still have some matters to take care of. Once we handle our affairs, how about we come back to visit your Sovereign then?” Lei Yu found He Chuang and apologized to him.
“This… perhaps master will be back soon. Could you two guests just wait a little bit longer?” Persuaded He Chuang. He was afraid that once Lei Yu left, he wouldn’t come back here.
“Be rest assured, once I’ve taken care of my matters, I will definitely come back. There’s something that I need to personally see your Sovereign and ask about.”
“Okay then…” He Chuang could only helplessly agree.
These past three days, Lei Yu and Big White had stayed and eaten for free here so they were somewhat embarrassed saying those words to He Chuang. But it’s just that Lei Yu really couldn’t wait any longer.
These past three days, although they had seen a number of the Thunder Rune Sect disciples, this Sect still felt rather deserted and not prosperous at all. According to Lei Yu’s imagination, a Sect should be filled with the atmosphere of people cultivating everywhere. But this wasn’t what he saw here; everyone looked a bit lazy and didn’t have a sense of urgency to improve themselves.
