Earthling in Uncharted Dimensions

Chapter 211: Summoned To The Guild

"Professor Lee?"

[Now what?]

Lee quickly sat up and glanced around. Behind him was a boy with four golden bands on his cuffs. He was visibly polite, and gave a bow.

"Yes. What is it?"

Lee asked, with his brows raised, as he had no familiarity with this young man.

"Professor, someone from the Adventurer's Guild is asking for you."

His raised brows knitted together as he stood up. Asking the boy to lead the way, Lee followed him. As he entered the academic building and exited through the front door, a man in pale grey robe was visible.

Lee neared the man and asked the reason.

"The president of Cultivator's Guild is asking for your presence. He also said that it is very urgent."

The voice of the cultivator had seriousness filled in it. Without a second thought, Lee agree =d to go with him. Before departing, he turned to the boy.

"Let the principal know that I have gone to the Guild for a quick chat with the president. Please tell him that I would be back in no time."

The boy nodded, and Lee left for the Guild.

The cultivator felt a desire to check the limits of Lee, and he changed his route to the rooftops. Lee comprehended his intention, and he easily matched the speed of the cultivator. The man in grey robe struggled to further increase his speed, and Lee caught up with him again. Like an insult, Lee simply flew past him and he was astounded by this Mana user's agility.

Lee stood at the gates of the Guild, and it was after a few dozens of seconds that that cultivator reached the spot. He was panting with lack of breath, and stared at Lee. With the bitter reality that adventurers are slowly picking up strength, he guided Lee inside.

Lee quickly summoned the 3D Map, and scanned the upper floors.

'D, why am I seeing a familiar wretched figure in the president's office?'

[That is because she is Chu Hua.]

'Ohhh.I wonder how she would react to my appearance.'

[Let us see for ourselves.]

The messenger led Lee to the office of Xavi and Lee knocked the door.

"Come in."

Xavi sounded rather distressed. To find the reason, Lee poked his head inside. After seeing two figures sitting and heads drooped forward, he entered inside. Lee did not forget to close the door behind his back.

"Do you know why I called you here?" (Xavi)

"I don't know." (Lee)

The president looked at Chu Hua, and asked-

"Do you know her?" (Xavi)

"Yes, I do." (Lee)

"How?" (Xavi)

"I have seen her at the tournament." (Lee)

"Anywhere recently?" (Xavi)

"Yes." (Lee)

"Where?" (Xavi)

"Here." (Lee)

"Not here, before that." (Xavi)

"Yes." (Lee)

"Where was it?" (Xavi)

"She imprisoned and tortured me at her sect." (Lee)

The questions stopped at once, and Xavi peered at Chu Hua through the corners of his eyes. After a couple of seconds, she raised her head, and Lee saw burning rage in her eyes.

"Do you have any involvement in the destruction of the Moon Water Sect and the death of more than 700 disciples and 12 elders?"

Xavi made himself clear and precise, so that Lee does not have any difficulty in comprehending the question. Lee, standing in front of the table, was calculating a number of ways through which he might have known about his involvement in the desolation.

"Why would you ask that to me?"

Lee expressed his confusion, with a frown.

"Because the Snow Wyvern that killed most of the disciples of that sect was found in the Alaqvier academy premise, and we came to know that it was yours."

[We forgot that variable.]

[Indeed. I am sure that even Lee overlooked that possibility.]

Lee loosened his brows upon hearing Xavi's statement. He admitted to the two elders that he never expected the possibility of finding the trail of his deed through the Snow Wyvern.

"The beast is mine, I admit. But you have to provide proof to validate your claims."

Xavi's brows twitched. Staring at his face, the president did not sense a tinge of fear. Instead, what he felt was an invitation to debate.

Chu Hua glared at Lee with immense resentment. She was not sure that he was behind the destruction of the sect, and she did not have any proof for that. But her conscience continuously murmured that he knew what had happened in the dungeon, so as to force the beasts out of the seal.

She stood up while maintaining her composure. But the rage was evident in her eyes.

"I saw you running into the dungeon. I saw my disciples closing the seal after you entered inside. Yet, you escaped. How?"

The question had curiosity and anger brimming in it. Her aura was faintly leaking, despite her struggles to contain it.

Xavi came to know about Lee's misfortune when Chu Hua teleported herself to the Cultivator's Guild. She was quickly taken to the medical bay, as her Qi was dangerously low. Under an expert doctor's influence, she was brought back to life.

As Chu Hua was unconscious for more than a day, Xavi used the Mind Reading Formation on her. It was to know what sort of incident had happened, which leveled the entire sect building. If it was a terrorist threat or a distinguishable reason, he could promptly warn other sects too.

Her memories were vague and broken. But after a few minutes of patience, the memories become crystal clear. It was through those images, that Xavi came to know about her doing. He was most astonished to know that Lee, who was trapped inside the dungeon, was in the commoner's medical bay, after fighting an almighty being.

Since the possible explanations are not fitting now the events turned out, he summoned Lee to hear the truth. What Chu Hua had done to him was indeed cruel, but she is now in a more pathetic state than he will ever be.

A pair of eyes emitted boundless resentment, while the other was full of curiosity. Sensing their glares on him, Lee sat on a chair and asked-
