Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy-Chapter 547 - 400 Pretending to be an Immortal

Luo Chen and the Wind Tiger each put away their long spears and returned the courtesy to the black-robed man to show their respect. Although they did not know the true identity or intentions of this mysterious man, they could feel the powerful aura emanating from him and his unhurried demeanor, which made them understand that he was by no means an ordinary person. Ouyang Qian also curiously observed the suddenly appearing black-robed man, secretly speculating on his intentions and purpose.

The man smiled and softly explained to Luo Chen and Ouyang Qian. His voice was calm and deep, seemingly carrying a reassuring power. Luo Chen and Ouyang Qian could not help but develop a strong interest in this mysterious figure who suddenly appeared.

Just as Ouyang Qian was about to speak, she heard the white-clad young man beside her, the Wind Tiger, snort coldly. He dragged his long spear, displaying a displeased expression as he walked to the man’s side, muttering, "Only him... how could I, the Wind Tiger, be interested in women?" Although this statement carried a hint of childishness, it made Ouyang Qian feel somewhat embarrassed.

Luo Chen couldn’t help but smile at this scene. He glanced curiously at Ouyang Qian, only to see her face tense as she glared at Wind Tiger. She then turned to the white-robed strange man, her tone becoming respectful: "We have important matters to attend to and are merely passing through, we do not wish to disturb you further. Goodbye." Having said this, she recited an incantation, withdrew the trembling Xiaobai, and walked toward Luo Chen.

Although Luo Chen was baffled, Ouyang Qian vaguely guessed the identity of the father and son. Outwardly, she pretended to be calm, but inside she felt somewhat anxious. She knew well that this seemingly ordinary father and son were likely connected to the legendary East Sea Dragon Race.

"Wait." The man glanced at Ouyang Qian, laughing as he said: "After raiding Celestial Battle Mountain, you both must be exhausted. Why not come and rest at my palace for the night and have a meal?" His tone conveyed a sincere invitation that was hard to refuse.

Upon hearing this, Wind Tiger immediately interjected: "Indeed, the coarse food and tea in Celestial Battle Mountain can’t compare to even one of my breakfasts." While speaking, he deliberately looked up at the sky, avoiding eye contact with Luo Chen. However, the eagerness in his tone revealed his desire for Luo Chen to stay.

Luo Chen was taken aback. He looked cautiously at the white-robed strange man, his tone puzzled: "How do you know..." Before he could finish, the white-robed strange man interrupted: "Not only do I know of your impersonation as Immortals, but I also know where you came from and how you arrived at Profound Virtue Grotto Heaven."

The white-robed strange man introduced himself as Ao Gui, looking with interest at Luo Chen, narrowing his eyes as he said: "My surname is Ao, and my given name is Gui. My ancestor was once the East Sea Dragon King appointed by the Celestial Emperor and is currently residing at Profound Virtue Grotto Heaven. I understand you both have many questions, why not return to my humble palace, where I can elucidate them for you?" His voice carried an undeniable authority, as if everything was within his grasp.

Luo Chen and Ouyang Qian exchanged a glance; although filled with doubts, they knew it was a moment they could not refuse. They nodded in tacit agreement, accepting Ao Gui’s invitation. Thus, under Ao Gui’s guidance, their group proceeded towards the depths of Profound Virtue Grotto Heaven.

The scenery along the way amazed Luo Chen and Ouyang Qian. Exotic flowers and grasses were everywhere, and rare birds and strange beasts roamed about. Each view seemed like a masterpiece of nature, captivating them completely. However, the doubts in their minds grew heavier. Who was this Ao Gui exactly? How did he know their secret? What fate awaited them ahead?

As the palace gradually appeared ahead, their emotions became increasingly tense. Finally, they stopped before a majestic palace. The great door of the palace slowly opened, revealing a scene of resplendent magnificence inside. Ao Gui smiled, inviting them to enter, as if everything was unfolding according to his expectations.

Once inside the palace, Ao Gui warmly invited them to be seated and personally poured them fine wine. He raised a toast to the two, saying: "Welcome to my humble abode, esteemed guests. I hope you have a joyful evening here." With that, he downed his cup in one go, showing great sincerity.

Luo Chen and Ouyang Qian, seeing this, also had no choice but to raise their glasses in return. Although their doubts remained unresolved, they were moved by Ao Gui’s enthusiasm. As the banquet continued, they gradually let down their guard and began to engage in open discussions about worldly affairs with Ao Gui. Ao Gui, in turn, seemed quite interested in them and occasionally raised questions, guiding them into deeper conversation.

After the banquet, Ao Gui arranged for them to stay in the most luxurious room of the palace. Lying on their beds, Luo Chen and Ouyang Qian found they could not calm their minds.

As the last word fell, Luo Chen and Ouyang Qian were both taken aback. Although they had speculated before, actually hearing the names "Celestial Emperor" and "East Sea Dragon King" from mythological legends still left them shocked. Could these Immortals, believed only to exist in stories, truly reside in this world?
