"What happened to your hand?"

When she welcomed Chen Hu back from the villa, she did not notice anything wrong with his hands. It was only when she returned to her room and took off her jacket that she noticed that Chen Hu's arm was wrapped in bandages.

"It's nothing. I got a little injury, but it's just a little injury."

Chen Hu said unconcernedly: "You know, with my recovery ability, it will at most take two days."

Compared to the overall danger of infiltrating the Falling Cloud Sect, he was lucky that his arm was only injured by the Spirit Demon Snake's snake whip in the end. Although his wound was bone deep, with his recovery rate, it would only take two days.

Moreover, he seemed to have used a very good medicine during the treatment during the day and during the night. Now, he could freely move his hands.

"How did you get hurt?"

Nangong Rou knit her brows and asked, "Where did you go last night?"

Hearing this, Chen Hu smiled slightly. He originally thought that Nan Gong Rou would not ask anymore, but who knew that Nan Gong Rou would still ask.

"I found the people who kidnapped the children. I went to save them, but they aren't ordinary people. They were worried that you would be implicated, so I told you to go first."

Chen Hu explained, talking in a light and casual manner, he did not even mention the dragon-group. Although Nangong Rou was his family, there were some things that were inconvenient for him to talk about.

There were many things that were inconvenient for outsiders to know that caused great astonishment in the Paleo-Martial World and the mortal world.

"So that's how it is."

In fact, even if Chen Hu hadn't said it, she could already guess that after they came to the Dragon Tooth Town, only the child being lost was worth it for Chen Hu to act on. The other matters didn't affect Chen Hu at all, so there was no way the Heavenly Dragon Sect and the Heavenly Emperor Group could chase them down, right?

"Have the children been rescued?"

Nan Gong Rou asked again. Originally, she was just asking casually, but Nan Gong Rou didn't expect Chen Hu to have such a regretful expression.

"There's no saving him?"

Nangong Rou's eyes flashed with a look of astonishment, her face was filled with shock. Chen Hu had personally made a move, and was even injured, but she actually did not save him, how was this possible?

"They are very powerful. I have no way of saving those children, but don't worry. Someone already went to save them. They should be fine."

Chen Hu said softly. Rather than saying those words to comfort Nangong Rou, it would be more accurate to say that Chen Hu said them to console her.

He wasn't very clear about the ways of handling affairs in the dragon-group, but thinking about it, the safety of their own people must be greater than those children's.

Nurturing an Ancient Ranker was not easy. For a group of children, was the dragon-group willing to make that kind of sacrifice?

Even if the dragon-group was willing, would the famous sects and sects who followed the orders of the dragon-group to eradicate the Falling Cloud Sect agree?

However, Chen Hu could not interfere with these things, he could only do what he should, he had no right to interfere with other people's things. He could only pray for those children, hoping that they could be saved safely.

"Yes."

Hearing this, Nan Gong Rou nodded her head heavily, on the big issue, she would definitely not choose to stand in the wrong group, but regarding the matters concerning her close friends, Nan Gong Rou was naturally unwilling to let Chen Hu take the risk and let others take the risk. Maybe it was not as easy as Chen Hu doing it, but Nan Gong Rou would not let Chen Hu go either.

It was just like when a family member committed a crime and very few people in the family chose to go to the police.

It was easy to say the words "righteous extermination", but it was not that easy to do so. When it came to those close to him, many people would ignore their stand. This was a common favor.

Of course, Chen Hu would not participate in the rescue of those children, and after all, he had already taken a risk once, and no matter who it was, they had to admit that with Chen Hu's power, he could not save those children from the Falling Cloud Sect, and the High Priest alone was not someone Chen Hu could contend against.

After knowing that Chen Hu would no longer participate in that matter, Nan Gong Rou heaved a sigh of relief. Worried that Chen Hu would not say the same thing, Nan Gong Rou requested: "Then you will accompany me to school for lessons tomorrow."

"Sure."

Chen Hu said without hesitation. After skipping classes for so long, it was indeed time for them to return to school. As students, they had to act like a student, even if it was just pretending to be one.

Seeing that Chen Hu had agreed to it, Nan Gong Rou could not help but regret it again. Chen Hu should have rested at home after getting injured, how could she let Chen Hu go to school?

But then she thought, Nangong Rou felt that there shouldn't be a problem, with Chen Hu's abilities, she knew that he would be fine even if he was shot, not to mention that there was no one in the academy that could threaten Chen Hu.

After dinner, Chen Hu went back to his room early. He wanted to meditate to recover his Qi, and he also had a lot of spirit stone essence remaining in his body to absorb. If he allowed the spirit energy to dissipate, it would be too much of a pity.

As he sat cross-legged on the windowsill, Chen Hu took a deep breath, closed his eyes, started to circulate his Qi, and started to recover silently.

Without question, this time he could be said to be losing soldiers, not to mention the fact that he was injured, the most important thing was that the spirit stone essence was gone, it was an entire spirit stone essence, in order to preserve his life, he had no choice but to use it. It was truly a pity, he had obtained the spirit stone essence not too long ago, and had only just warmed up.

No matter what happened next, the Falling Cloud Sect would definitely not let him go. Of course, it was possible that the Falling Cloud Sect would not be able to find him within a short period of time, but he believed that with the methods of the Falling Cloud Sect, it would be sooner or later that they would find him. At that time, it would probably be another bloody battle.

It was a good thing that the dragon-group and the various righteous sects were going to attack the Falling Cloud Sect. Although the Falling Cloud Sect was incomparably powerful, he reckoned that they would not be able to stop the dragon-group and the many righteous sects. Even if they were not completely wiped out, they would still be struck hard.

Time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, night had arrived.

At this time, Chen Hu suddenly opened his eyes, and an indescribable luster flashed past.

"He broke through."

Chen Hu muttered.

How long had it been since Chen Hu broke through into the Innate Realm? It had only been five or six days, yet he had made another breakthrough now.

The most surprising thing was that although Chen Hu had broken through the Mid Xiantian realm, he did not have a single smile on his face, nor was he happy about his breakthrough at all.

In reality, it was not that Chen Hu was unhappy, it was just that he did not have the time to be happy, he was also shocked. He had an unbelievable feeling, he had only been in the Innate Realm for a short while, how could he suddenly be promoted again?

"Could it be because I absorbed the spirit stone essence while fighting the demonic snake?"

Chen Hu secretly thought, but felt that it was not possible, and for a moment he could not understand what was going on, so he decided to not think about it anymore, breaking through was a good thing, right now he was promoted to Mid Xiantian realm, even if the experts of Falling Cloud Sect came to his doorstep, he would still have a chance of survival.

"The good fortune will come from the bad luck, the good fortune from the bad luck will come from the good fortune. The ancients truly do not bully me."

Chen Hu exhaled slightly, it was true that disaster and good fortune depended on one another, there would always be good fortune in surviving a great tribulation. Although he had lost a spirit stone essence, his cultivation had risen to the next level, this was truly strength that belonged to him.

"Hurry up and cultivate, and replenish my internal energy. At that time, I will be at Mid Xiantian realm's level of strength."

Chen Hu could not help but think, if he were to return to the Peach Blossom Village now, those old men in the village would probably be so shocked that their jaws would hit the ground when they saw that he had levelled up.

However, his luck was not good. If he were to cultivate properly in his life, it would not be difficult for him to reach the Innate Realm. However, if he wanted to go up to the next level, it would be impossible.

When he was young, his luck was also not very good, but he believed in one thing. As long as he was willing to work hard, sooner or later, there would be achievements, and even if he had bad luck, it would not be able to stop his heart of martial arts.

If Old Man Li were to stand in front of him now, Chen Hu would definitely return the words Old Man Li had given him back, "You're good at everything, but your eyes are bad. Hurry up and put on a pair of glasses so that you won't be unable to see clearly."

Excited, Chen Hu suddenly became excited.

The next morning, Nangong Rou came over to bring Chen Hu his breakfast, and also helped him take a look at his situation. If his condition was not good, she would not let him accompany her to school.

The moment they entered, Nan Gong Rou was stunned, Chen Hu was lying on the bed.

Nan Gong Rou was shocked, she immediately put down the food and rushed over, "Chen Hu, what happened to you?"

"Rou Rou, why are you here?"

Chen Hu opened his eyes. After breaking through the Mid Xiantian realm, his spiritual perception went up another level, and before Nan Gong Rou could even reach the door, he was already awake, but he had already taken off his clothes to sleep. It was inconvenient for him to get up immediately, because he knew that Nan Gong Rou would not knock on his door after she entered his room.

"Are you okay?"

It was too abnormal.

Chen Hu cultivated for three days and four nights on the windowsill, looking like nothing had happened. Nan Gong Rou didn't think that Chen Hu would sleep at all, and thought that Chen Hu was still meditating like usual.

"I'm fine, what can happen to me?"

Chen Hu yawned, after replenishing his Qi, he went to bed, and did not continue meditating, mainly because he had broken through the Mid Xiantian realm, he was too excited, and was unable to focus on meditating, so he decided to just lie on the bed, and unknowingly fell asleep.

"Aren't you meditating?"

Nan Gong Rou asked carefully, feeling that Chen Hu was abnormal.

"Can't I sleep after meditating?"

Chen Hu chuckled, only then did he realize why Nan Gong Rou was so nervous, he could not help but smile. If it was in the past, he would definitely have to meditate for a long time to recover his Spirit Qi, but last night, he broke through his Mid Xiantian realm smoothly, his throughput increased greatly, and adding on to the fact that his body originally had a lot of spirit stone essence spirit energy left, he recovered in a short four hours.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Don't be nervous."

He patted Nangong Rou's arm and said shyly, "About that, I want to wear pants. Turn around first."

"It's not like I've never seen it before."

Nan Gong Rou glared at Chen Hu, but turned around in the end. She was even more embarrassed than Chen Hu.

If it was in Dragon Tooth Town, Nangong Rou would have already jumped into Chen Hu's bed. However, at home, her parents and brother were there, as well as a large number of servants, so she didn't dare to be so casual.

After getting dressed and getting up, Chen Hu found Wang Wen and said in a serious tone: "I have stirred up some trouble, and am in a lot of trouble. Recently, we have to be low-key at school, and not cause any trouble.
