As soon as we stepped into the bamboo forest, several people in uniform came to greet us.
The leader was a middle-aged man, lean and with a gentle face, followed by several young female disciples.
Upon seeing Lin Chu, the middle-aged man immediately put on a perfectly timed smile.
"Young Master Lin."
Lin Chu raised an eyebrow slightly.
He didn't alert anyone before he arrived.
Lin Qinian wasn't even informed of the time he left.
As soon as he arrived outside the bamboo forest, his name was called out.
But upon further reflection, I felt relieved.
This is the Candlelight Pavilion.
The largest intelligence agency in the Taixu Spirit Realm.
If you can't even do this, then that's a joke.
"Young Master Lin's visit came suddenly, and I was unable to greet him properly. Please forgive me."
The middle-aged man's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and his tone was very respectful.
Lin Chu flipped his hand and took out the red token.
"I have come today to trouble you with some matters."
"Young Master Lin, what are you saying?"
The middle-aged man's expression became even more respectful after he saw the token clearly.
"Young Master Lin, holding the red token, is our most honored guest."
Please come with me.
Several young female disciples behind him quietly looked up, wanting to take a second look at this important figure who had recently stirred up a storm in the Nine Realms.
Lin Chuchao and the others nodded as well.
A middle-aged man led the way.
Lin Chu followed him through the bamboo forest path, and after passing through several arrays that separated them, they finally arrived at the depths of the Candlelight Pavilion.
The pavilion was extremely tall; looking up from below, its layers of eaves seemed to pierce the clouds.
The middle-aged man led Lin Chu to the top floor and stopped in front of a large door carved with intricate runes.
"Young Master, please come in."
After speaking, he bowed and then withdrew with several female disciples.
Lin Chu pushed open the door and entered.
The main hall was extremely spacious with a very high dome, and many complex and sophisticated instruments were displayed around it.
Runes flowed and flickered on those instruments.
At the head of the main hall sat a beautiful middle-aged woman.
She was born with a gentle and graceful appearance, yet her eyes held a touch of sharpness. Dressed in a lake-blue fairy dress, her temperament was as elegant as a distant mountain.
When Lin Chu came in, she stood up and smiled.
"As expected of the Lord of the Imperial Road, his demeanor is indeed extraordinary."
"My name is Sikong Yun."
Lin Chu bowed slightly.
"Junior Lin Chu greets Senior Sikong."
Sikong Yun stood up, her smile deepening.
"No need for such formalities."
She gestured for Lin Chu to sit down.
Lin Chu sat down, but secretly pondered in her heart.
Sikong Yun.
Could this surname have anything to do with Sikong Jian?
Moreover, this person's cultivation level is not low either, at least at the Immortal Lord level.
Further up, it becomes less clear what to expect.
"You flatter me, Master."
Lin Chu was humble, without a trace of youthful arrogance.
"I've come today to ask you for a favor."
Sikong Yun didn't beat around the bush.
"Old Lin has already told me."
"Young Master, please feel free to ask for anything you need."
Her tone was gentle, with a hint of familiarity.
Lin Chu didn't stand on ceremony and spoke directly.
"Thank you, Pavilion Master."
"I want to find a plane called Earth."
"Based on the information we have so far, it is most likely a small world."
"The main development direction should be the technology sector."
Sikong Yun frowned slightly and pondered for a while.
"We actually have quite a bit of knowledge about the technology dimension."
"But something with such a unique name as Earth..."
She gently shook her head.
"I don't seem to remember it much."
Lin Chu sighed inwardly.
However, it wasn't too unexpected.
The myriad worlds are too vast; it is indeed not easy to find a small world all at once.
"Young Master, please wait a moment. We have a senior in our department who specializes in the research of technological dimensions."
"I'll ask him to come over right away."
Lin Chu's eyes lit up.
"Thank you for your trouble, Madam."
Sikong Yun smiled and shook her head.
"You are the young master of the Lin family, so I will do my best."
Lin Chu could tell that the couple had a very good relationship.
The term "Old Lin" is usually used between very close couples.
He suddenly understood why Lin Qinian was able to live so comfortably in Tianxu City.
While waiting, Lin Chu couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering her.
"senior."
Do you know Sikong Jian?
Sikong Yun was somewhat surprised.
"He's my nephew."
She looked at Lin Chu, her gaze now more serious.
"Young Master Lin, are you... acquainted with him too?"
Lin Chu nodded.
"We met a few times on Dilu Road."
Sikong Yun's eyes lit up.
He opened his mouth, about to ask something.
They were interrupted by footsteps coming from outside the hall.
Immediately afterwards, an old man with messy hair strode in.
Lin Chu looked up.
His lips twitched on the spot.
The old man was wearing a loose-fitting Hanfu.
But around his neck was a neatly tied tie.
A bright, shiny watch was on his wrist.
He also wore a monocle made of polished crystal.
On her feet were... a pair of sneakers?
He looked strangely odd.
"cough."
Sikong Yun raised her hand to cover her face, her expression somewhat unnatural.
"That's just how Senior Wu is, he's rather...unconventional."
Then, she introduced Lin Chu.
"This is Senior Wu Di."
"It specializes in research on the technology side."
"This is Lin Chu, the young master of the Lin family."
Lin Chuchao nodded to Wu Di.
"Senior Wu."
Wu Di showed no expression, only glanced at Lin Chu and nodded.
"What orders does the Pavilion Master have for me?"
Sikong Yun recounted Lin Chu's plan to find Earth.
Wu Di was initially listless, looking like a working-class person who had been pulled into a meeting at the last minute.
But when he heard the word "Earth," he suddenly felt a jolt.
He abruptly turned his head, staring intently at Lin Chu.
"Are you looking for Earth?"
Lin Chu nodded.
Wu Di's eyes lit up instantly.
It was like a glutton who hadn't eaten for tens of thousands of years suddenly seeing a Manchu Han Imperial Feast.
"You've come to the right person!"
He strode up to Lin Chu, his entire demeanor completely different from before.
"Let me tell you."
"When it comes to researching different planes, in the entire Candlelight Pavilion, no, in the entire Nine Realms, if I, Wu Di, admit to being second, no one dares to claim to be first!"
"I'm not bragging, but I've studied at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, of those dimensions that others consider worthless!"
"However, this Earth..."
He rubbed his hands together, his smile growing wider and wider.
"I know it well!"
"After all these years, finally someone has noticed!"
"Finally!"
Lin Chu smiled.
For professional matters, it's definitely best to consult professionals.
He glanced at Sikong Yun, then looked at Wu Di, and said earnestly.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Wu."
Seeing this, Sikong Yun knew that she was no longer needed.
She stood up and nodded.
"You guys talk first."
"However, Young Master Lin."
She paused, her tone gentle.
"After we're done, if you're not in a hurry, could you stay a little longer?"
"I also have something I'd like to ask you."
Lin Chu understood.
Most of them are about common sense.
He nodded.
"You're too kind, Lord."
Sikong Yun smiled slightly and turned to walk out of the hall.
The palace doors closed.
