The group returned to the inner island without stopping, and Fade Chen was directly taken to a tall stone building in the center of the inner island.

The building hall is very large, with hundreds of seats on both sides.

In the middle of the front, there are a total of nineteen seats.

In the middle are three huge and gorgeous seats, representing the position of the Sangong.

On both sides of the seats in the Three Palaces, sixteen seats are separated on both sides, representing the position of the Sixteenth Palace.

However, there is no one in these seats at the moment.

The chief deacons, together with Fade Chen, stood in the hall, constantly discussing about Shu Xin.

Mu Yuqing, on the other hand, took good care of Fade Chen, and said with a smile, "Wait a while, all the hall masters will come out and ask you about related matters in person."

"Don't be too nervous, just say what you know, don't hide it, understand?"

Fade Chen nodded obediently, and said, "I understand!"

"It's best if you understand!" Mu Yuqing nodded, and then said, "You were originally the first among this group of students. Originally, you should have chosen one of the Martial Palaces to enter. But the previous matter was delayed."

"If there is no accident, after the questioning of the hall masters, you will be asked to choose to join a certain martial arts hall."

"Our Qingmu Palace has always been very optimistic about you. Moreover, I have also received the stone you sent before. When the time comes, you—"

Before Mu Yuqing could finish speaking, the other chief deacons interrupted her.

"Mu Yuqing, you are not authentic! Before the palace masters started asking questions, you started pulling people first."

"Chen Fei, although the Cyanwood Palace is good, our Raging Fire Palace is the real strong one. You have to choose, and our Raging Fire Palace is the best."

"Hehe, what is the Raging Fire Palace? It's not worth mentioning in front of our Hurricane Palace."

………

"Little brother, that woman Mu Yuqing looks gentle, but she is actually a poisonous snake. Don't be fooled by her." An extremely charming and coquettish woman approached Fade Chen, her voice full of temptation.

"If little brother Chen Fei wants to taste women, our Qunfang Palace is the best choice. There are hundreds of beauties of all kinds in it, and there are sisters like me, little brother, are you tempted?"

"Red Snake, don't get mad. Don't you, Qunfang Palace, always recruit women? Fade Chen is a man, so what does it have to do with you?" Another big deacon shouted.

This woman named Red Snake is the chief deacon of Qunfang Palace, and she immediately turned back, "Our Qunfang Palace has changed the rules this year, and we want to recruit men, can't we?"

Almost all the chief deacons of the Martial Palace are trying to attract Fade Chen.

Except for Poison Cloud Palace, because of what happened to Yu Wenju just now, Lou Xu had a very bad impression of Fade Chen. He looked at Fade Chen with obvious anger.

………

Just when everyone was discussing in full swing, a voice came in, "The lord is here!"

In an instant, the scene fell silent.

Everyone stood quietly to the side, bowing their heads respectfully to welcome the person who came.

Fade Chen also followed Mu Yuqing's example and stood beside Mu Yuqing.

Then, he felt a group of people walking in silently.

Although they didn't look at them head-on, their momentum was like moving mountains, which brought great pressure to Fade Chen.

"God-level masters! These palace masters are basically god-level masters." Chen Fei's heartstrings tensed up, and he recalled the matter of the tree core in his mind again to confirm that he did not reveal any flaws.

The sixteen hall masters took their seats here.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's get started!" The Thunder Palace Master said with a booming voice.

Mu Yuqing quickly brought Fade Chen forward, bowed respectfully to the sixteen hall masters, and then said: "Masters, that student Fade Chen has been brought back."

In an instant, Fade Chen felt that sixteen sharp gazes all fell on him at once, like sixteen sharp long swords stabbing at him fiercely.

Instinctively, Fade Chen wanted to dodge, but his rationality told him that he couldn't move at this time.

So, meeting the eyes of the sixteen palace masters, he raised his head and looked directly over.

"Boy, you are so brave, you still don't bow your head to salute. How dare you look directly at the palace masters, are you looking for death?" Lou Xu was originally dissatisfied with Fade Chen, and at this moment, he seized the opportunity and immediately started drinking in a low voice.

However, before Fade Chen could respond.

Hall Master Qingmu waved his hand and said, "Fade Chen is not from the inner island, so there is no need to be so strict. Besides, his performance is very good."

"To be able to look directly at us without flinching, and to have a firm heart, this alone surpasses many people." The Hurricane Palace Master also nodded in praise.

These made Lou Xu's complexion stiff, and his expression became tense and ugly.

Fortunately, the Lord of Duyun Palace was still protecting him, waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't waste time, just ask directly!"

"Fade Chen, tell the story of what happened to you after you entered the forbidden tree, and don't miss any details."

"Including the scene where you fell into the heart of the tree, and how you finally got out of it and returned to the outer island, let me explain it carefully." The Lord of the Raging Fire Palace added.

With a smile on his face, Master Qingmu nodded to Fade Chen gently, and said, "Don't be nervous, let's talk!"

Fade Chen had expected this, and had already prepared in his heart, so he was not very nervous.

But he still pretended to be a little nervous, took a deep breath, and then opened his mouth, telling what happened, "At that time, I was sent to the taboo tree by the little deacons together with all the students..."

Fade Chen spoke very carefully, and the previous content was all the truth, without any concealment, he told everything in detail.

Of course, when it comes to the key point, that is when entering the content in the heart of the tree.

Fade Chen only vaguely mentioned some sapling-shaped shoots, but he didn't say that the shoots were absorbed and refined by him to become his own core. Rather, the sapling was floating in a mist, and he just absorbed some of the breath emanating from the sapling, and then passed out inexplicably.

When he woke up, the sapling had disappeared. And Chen Fei himself appeared on a piece of sea.

Afterwards, it was the process of Fade Chen surviving at sea, trying in different directions, and finally returning to the outer island.

The whole process is generally true, except that Fade Chen concealed the content of the sapling core.

And this point is obviously the focus of attention of the hall masters.

After listening, they couldn't help frowning.

"After entering the heart of the tree, I saw the sapling and fainted?"

"Fade Chen, did you see anything else? How did you come out of the heart of the tree and finally returned to the outside world? You didn't feel anything at all?"

………
