“The patriarch came back for the sake of this mysterious disciple?”

James was rather excited.

If he could really find that mysterious disciple, it would definitely be a good thing for James.

After all, the other party had saved him and Alice. He had to thank him in person.

“Patriarch, how do you plan to find this mysterious disciple?”

James was extremely curious.

“Bring out all sorts of benefits.”

Roderick smiled slightly.

James frowned. Although he wanted to say something, he held himself back in the end.

The next day…

Early in the morning, Lin Lei was still training.

The door to the confinement room opened.

“Lin Lei, hurry up and follow me to the nine towers plaza,” a disciple hurriedly said.

Lin Lei put away his staff, feeling rather puzzled.

“What’s going on so early in the morning?”

The disciple shook his head, “The patriarch personally gave the order. It’s not just you. All of the disciples of Li Fire Sect are to head to the nine towers plaza.”

After speaking, the disciple said in a low voice, “I heard from rumours that our sect has come out a disciple who has resonance-level of mageforce affinity. The patriarch is doing his best to find him.”

“So that’s how it is.”

Lin Lei’s suspicions were dispelled.

Just a few days ago, when he had attacked and killed the trolls, Roderick had received the news and had immediately rushed back from the Enchanters Convention.

“Enough, Lin Lei. Hurry up and follow me. If this rumor is true, our Li Fire Sect will really take off.”

Lin Lei nodded and followed.

If at this moment Lin Lei intentionally hid himself, it would attract Roderick’s attention.

Since that was the case, he would go take a look.

He was now a ninth rank expert and he had the concealment technique. Lin Lei wasn’t worried at all that Roderick would see through him.

After passing through the crowd, Lin Lei followed the disciples in front of him all the way to nine towers plaze.

Right now, 80% of the disciples of Li Fire Sect had already gathered, and the remaining 20% were on their way.

Lin Lei roughly estimated that there were more than a thousand of them.

They were all engaged in a heated discussion, and their voices were incomparably noisy.

“Hehehe, do you know why we are all gathered here today? I just heard the rumours that our Li Fire Sect has produced a enchanter of the eighth rank and a genius who has mastered the resonance level of mageforce affinity!”

“Is that true? I don’t believe it. A 8th rank enchanter? If It’s true, I’ll run naked on the plaza!”

“Yeah, Count me in too. If it’s true, I’ll swallow my magic staff on the spot.”

“Keep your voices down! I secretly heard this from the patriarch’s mouth during the morning meeting. How can it be fake!”

“F*ck, this is resonance level! Isn’t this guy definitely a sage level expert?”

“I don’t think so. After a little deduction, we will find that there is no logic at all. If there is really a disciple who has comprehended resonance level of mageforce affinity, why didn’t he show himself? Can he become stronger by hiding all the time? Only by revealing his identity can he obtain the sect’s resources!”

“Fool, don’t you know that you can make a fortune by keeping a low profile? If someone were to leak the news that our Li Fire Sect has a genius, do you think it would bring fortune or danger?! As I see it, if this person didn’t reveal his identity, that would be the smartest choice!”

“It is rumored that within the imperial family, there is a secret institution known as the executioner. They will specifically kill off all of the unstable elements of the Empire for the sake of the successor of the imperial family. Do you really think that our patriarch will be able to protect that genius disciple?”

A series of heated discussions began to break out!

Amongst the crowd, Lin Lei couldn’t help but laughed.

The thoughts of this group of people were quite interesting, but some of them were able to guess Lin Lei’s true thoughts.

If the wind blew in the forest, it would definitely be destroyed!

Being high-profile and ostentatious wasn’t a good thing.

Making a fortune quietly was the most important principle!

Suddenly, a melodious voice interrupted Lin Lei’s thought.

“Lin Lei.”

Looking in the direction of the voice, it turned out to be Alice.

Today, Alice was dressed in a short silvery-white dress, paired with a pair of black leather boots. She looked very heroic.

“Alice,” Lin Lei greeted Alice.

Perhaps it was because James had been treated and his lifespan had been extended by three years, so Alice was in a very good mood.

Alice walked quickly towards Lin Lei and said, “You were called here as well. Do you know why we’re here today?”

Lin Lei pondered for a moment.

“I’ve heard a bit about it. It seems that a enchanter of the eighth rank has appeared in our sect, and he has also gained insights into the resonance level of mageforce affinity.”

“Yeah, you’re right. I didn’t expect that although you’ve been in the solitary confinement room all this time, you are quite well-informed.”

Alice smiled slightly, then asked Lin Lei in a soft voice, “Lin Lei, who do you think that mysterious expert is?”

Lin Lei was slightly startled, then said, “I’ve been training in solitary confinement room every day. How would I know?”

Alice’s delicate body slightly tilted, then she sized Lin Lei up and said, “I have some guesses.”

“Hmph? Who does Alice think it is?”

Alice smiled slightly, staring directly at Lin Lei. It was as though she wanted to see through Lin Lei.

“My guess is that it is you, Lin Lei.”

Lin Lei was extremely shocked, but he didn’t show it.

Could it be that Alice had discovered something?

Or was it just Alice’s sixth sense?

Although Lin Lei was extremely shocked, he didn’t show it on his face. At this moment, he put on a bitter smile, “If it really was me, that would be great.”

“Unfortunately, it wasn’t me.”

Alice looked carefully at Lin Lei. Finally, she smiled and said, “Hehe, I was just guessing. After all, you are only a enchanter apprentice of the fourth rank. Of course, it wasn’t you.”

“Are you saying that I’m weak again?”

Lin Lei directly flicked a finger at Alice’s forehead.

“Hehe…”

Alice stuck out her cute little tongue and teased.

Looking at Lin Lei’s figure, Alice was somewhat dazed.

That day in the White Tiger Palace, that towering figure who had single-handedly killed three trolls in an instant had gradually merged with this man in front of her.

Was he really not?

Alice did not know either.
