There was still some time before the spatial laws inside the beads were activated, bringing them back to the surface, so before then, there was time for them to relax.

Lin Fan moved over to the other elders while the great elder was going all out in disrupting the relationship between Mo Ze Chen and Lulu.

Once it was around time, Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen gathered in the center with the elders and the great elder who said, "We will be sealing ourselves up now, so we won't be making any contact until the time is right. I will personally be going into closed door training to break through to the next realm."

At this, Lulu revealed an unwilling look as she turned to Mo Ze Chen.

Seeing this, the great elder glared at Mo Ze Chen who just awkwardly stood there.

Lulu knew that it was no use looking to Mo Ze Chen since he wasn't able to convince her father, so she turned to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan revealed a bitter smile. He didn't want to involve himself in this matter since this was a matter between them, but seeing the look from Lulu and the look that Mo Ze Chen gave him, he felt like he should do something for his friend.

Lin Fan gave a cough before saying, "Great elder, that doesn't seem like the right choice either."

The great elder slightly knitted his brows and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Lin Fan replied, "If you completely isolate yourself, how will you know about what the outside world is like? I'm sure that there's a way for you to send people out to gather information as well and if you do, they can stay with me for now."

The great elder knitted his brows deeper when he heard this and while he was thinking, Lulu revealed an excited look as she grabbed the great elder's arm and said, "Daddy, he's right, we can't just lock ourselves away or we won't know anything about this world once we go out. It'll be much more dangerous for us if we don't have some understanding of the world outside."

The other elders didn't say a thing, but based on the look on their faces, it was clear that they agreed with what Lin Fan was saying.

But even with everyone against him, the great elder didn't agree to Lin Fan's suggestion right away. Even though he himself agreed with what Lin Fan was saying.

The one problem with this plan was that they just didn't have the people needed to execute this since they had lost most of their geniuses over the years and there was no one to spare. Well, it wasn't like there wasn't anyone at all, but rather his personal feelings got in the way for this one person.

The great elder looked at Lulu and then he looked at Mo Ze Chen, but this time his eyes were much more relaxed and not as cold as before.

While he had been getting in their way, he had also been observing Mo Ze Chen. Based on the way Mo Ze Chen treated him, he could tell how serious Mo Ze Chen was about Lulu. Also based on what he had seen from Mo Ze Chen during the trials, he could tell that he was a good kid.

So deep down, he had already started to accept Mo Ze Chen in his heart…

After a while, he finally gave a sigh and said, "Young master Lin, your idea is correct and it is possible for us to send someone out of these ruins, but…"

Lulu's eyes had lit up in the first part, but they dimmed once again after hearing the second part. She couldn't help asking, "Daddy, but what?"

The great elder looked at Lulu for a bit before giving another sigh and saying, "Baby, you're the only one left that is strong enough to go out and daddy really isn't willing to let you go."

Lulu revealed a sad look, but then she revealed a determined look and said, "Daddy, I want to do this."

The great elder gave a nod before turning to Mo Ze Chen and saying, "Take care of her. If you ever make her cry, I will be coming for you."

Mo Ze Chen was surprised by this sudden change in attitude from the great elder, but then he also said with a determined look, "I would rather die first than to let her cry."

The great elder looked at the two of them before bringing them together and patting them on the shoulder.

During this, Lulu couldn't stop the tears and she came forward to hug the great elder.

The great elder also had a tear come out of his eyes as he tightly held her.

After that, it was about the time for them to leave, so Lulu came over to where Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen were standing. After wiping the tears from her face, she looked at Mo Ze Chen with a smile as she said, "Shall we go then?"

Mo Ze Chen just gave a nod in response.

It was at that moment that Lin Fan broke this atmosphere by saying, "You're not coming with us though."

Both Mo Ze Chen and Lulu had stunned looks on their faces before Mo Ze Chen said, "Boss, how can you go back on your word like this?"

Lin Fan revealed a faint smile before saying, "That's not what I meant. Think about how we're going to go back, do you think that she can go with us?"

Mo Ze Chen thought about this and then he realized that Lin Fan was right.

They were going to be automatically transported back by the beads, but that wouldn't work for Lulu since she didn't have one.

Lulu also realized this same fact and she turned to look at Wang Jian who was lying on the ground. After a moment's pause, she started moving towards him, but the great elder stopped her.

The great elder said, "Baby, you can't take it from him or he won't be able to get out."

Lulu looked back at the great elder with an aggrieved look and said, "But daddy…"

The great elder patted her head and said, "We have our own way of getting out, you need to let him leave or we can't seal up the realm."

Lulu and Mo Ze Chen gave one sad look to each other before Mo Ze Chen said, "I'll be waiting for you."

Lulu gave a nod and didn't say anything else.

Lin Fan turned to the great elder and said, "I don't know where she'll come out when she does come out, but tell her to come to Harmony City to find me. My store should be up by the time she comes, so it'll be easy for her to find me when she arrives."

Mo Ze Chen looked at Lin Fan and asked, "Boss, you're in Harmony City?"

Lin Fan looked at Mo Ze Chen and asked, "You're not?"

But before Mo Ze Chen could answer, there was a white light that suddenly covered them. Before either of them could say a thing, they disappeared from the spot.

Wang Jian who had been on the floor was also covered in a white light before disappearing from the spot he had been in.

The elders all turned to Lulu who was looking at where Mo Ze Chen and Lin Fan had been standing. The great elder was about to come forward and comfort her, but Lulu suddenly turned around and said, "Shouldn't we start getting ready to seal this place?"

The elders were all surprised when they heard this, but then they immediately understood after hearing what she said next.

Lulu said with a smile, "The sooner we seal this place, the sooner I can leave, isn't that right?"

The great elder didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this as the other elders all patted him on the shoulder.

Without caring about what they thought, Lulu just turned around and walked off with a happy smile on her face.

…

After that flash of white light, the scene in front of Lin Fan had changed.

He was no longer in the ruins, but rather he appeared in front of the house that was above those ruins.

When he saw the people waiting outside, they seemed a bit unfamiliar to him since it felt like a long time since he had seen them, even though he had only been in the ruins for half a day.

Shi Yan watched as these people appeared and then he said, "Do you have what you need?"

The people who had been teleported out of the ruins were mostly unconscious since they had been knocked out by the great elder's balls of golden light.

However there was this strange tone in Shi Yan's voice where when they heard it, they were suddenly jolted awake.

Most of these examinees didn't know what was happening, but that didn't matter for Lin Fan or Mo Ze Chen.

Both of them came forward and they both waved their hands to pull something out of the Storage Rings. Both of them had pulled out a sword that clattered to the ground in front of them.

Shi Yan looked at the swords that appeared before giving a nod and saying, "Alright, you both pass."

After that, Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen both started moving to the side, away from the main group since they no longer had to care about anything else for this second trial.
