Still puzzled, Lu Ye casually shut the doors of the Star Constellation Hall again, then opened them, shut them, and opened them once more. It was effortless!
Bai Lu watched with delight. "Li Taibai, you truly are one favored by the Divine Temple!"
If he were not favored by the Divine Temple, there was no reason others could not open the doors while Lu Ye could.
Lu Ye neither confirmed nor denied it. The fact that the seahorse had smashed through the doors before was undeniable, yet now it could not. There were only two possibilities. One was timing: when the seahorse had broken through, the Star Constellation Hall's contest had been underway, so its doors could be opened and closed freely then.
The other possibility was the Star Constellation Hall's own will. It had been willing to let the seahorse enter at that time, which was why the doors had been forced open.
But regardless of which possibility it was, the current situation was that Lu Ye could open the doors, while Bai Lu and the seahorse could not.
Most likely, no one else could either.
"Li Taibai, the Great Elder said that if you have nothing to do, you should visit the territory more often. How boring it must be for you to stay here alone," Bai Lu said.
The Great Elder had never said such a thing. Bai Lu was merely using her name as an excuse. She truly felt sorry seeing Lu Ye all alone here, lonely and forlorn, and wanted to take him to the Merfolk Race's territory to enjoy some liveliness.
Lu Ye shook his head. "I should leave. Since you happened to come, I'll take this chance to bid you farewell."
Bai Lu froze, then her expression changed slightly. "Where are you going?"
