2818: Chapter 2838: Huh, How Realistic!
“The Carp Dragon Realm, although a middle-grade realm within the Daluo Ultimate Immortal, is extrely special.
Advancing through it is very difficult, often requiring personal comprehension combined with unique opportunities.
It cannot be rushed.”
Lin Chen, of course, knew this and shrugged his shoulders, “Well, just muddling along.
I’m used to the situation you’ve just described.”
Lin Chen said with a laugh, waving his hand to Zhen Liuxue, “Senior, keep it up.
I’ll be waiting for your good news.”
The Second Day, early in the morning, Wan Yan Jie paid a visit.
Lin Chen still had no intention of eting with him.
Regardless of whether the other party had romantic intentions or not, it was Gong Jianying from Mount Taixu who was receiving the visit, not himself.
In the other party’s eyes, I’m probably just an insignificant appendage.
Why would they care about ?
Even if they ntion out of politeness, it’s just to give face to Gong Jianying, not because they truly value .
I don’t need such formalities.
There’s no need to pretend to be acquainted, causing everyone to say insincere words that make us all uncomfortable.
Which man would like it when the woman he’s pursuing brings along another man?
Better not to see each other when there is mutual distaste.
Gong Jianying, faced with Lin Chen’s beaming gaze, left with a look of reluctance.
Lin Chen didn’t leave his house but lay down on a lounger in the pavilion of the yard and leisurely started ditating with his eyes closed.
“Is Mr.
Gong there?
I am Chen Hong from the Nine Thunder Sect and I request an audience.”
At so point, a crisp voice disrupted Lin Chen’s ditation.
He sat up from the lounger.
A visitor for Gong Jianying?
Lin Chen hesitated for a mont.
Clearly having heard the request, it would be sowhat inappropriate not to respond.
Lin Chen went to the entrance and opened the door, only to see a handso young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes smiling.
However, his smile stiffened for a mont when he saw who opened the door.
“Is this fellow cultivator a disciple of Mount Taixu?”
Lin Chen said with a laugh, “I am not a disciple of Mount Taixu; I am just a friend of Fairy Gong.
Are you looking for her?”
The Young Man gave a respectful bow, “I am Chen Hong of the Nine Thunder Sect.
I would be grateful if you could pass on my ssage.”
Lin Chen shrugged with a smile, “Brother Chen, your timing could not be worse.
Early this morning, Wan Yan Jie from the Void Sect invited Fairy Gong out for an excursion.”
Chen Hong’s expression changed slightly, “Wan Yan Jie?”
Lin Chen nodded, “Yes.”
Chen Hong looked slightly displeased, “Did Fairy Gong say when she would return?”
Lin Chen shook his head, “She didn’t say.
Guests follow the host’s lead; she might stay a bit longer, I guess.”
Chen Hong frowned, hesitated for two seconds, his gaze falling on Lin Chen, “Are you and Fairy Gong friends?”
Lin Chen, aware of the suspicion and scrutiny in Chen Hong’s eyes, laughed, “Just ordinary friends.
We happened to travel together.”
He paused and, seeing Chen Hong’s still unconvinced expression, added, “I’m married.”
Chen Hong’s face turned instantly awkward, but he relaxed and laughed it off, “What you say makes sense, haha.
Do you have any plans right now?
It’s almost noon.
If you’re free, how about we go for a drink?”
Lin Chen hastily declined, feeling quite speechless inside.
Given Chen Hong’s behavior, he probably doesn’t know Gong Jianying well, if at all, right?
This eager to et her, is he yet another suitor?
Or is it simply because Gong Jianying is the favorite disciple of True Person Tai Xu?
Chen Hong left with a touch of embarrassnt, and Lin Chen once again returned to the pavilion.
However, he couldn’t relax as subsequent waves of visitors arrived, all to see Gong Jianying.
So introduced themselves; others nad their senior family mbers.
They invited them to als, which was eye-opening for Lin Chen.
Is this the treatnt reserved for a Mount Taixu disciple?
These people might not all be pursuers of Gong Jianying, and their visits might not all be for that purpose, but all were suspect of attempting to build relationships.
Wow, so realistic!
In the afternoon, the closed-door suddenly opened, and Gong Jianying’s figure appeared at the doorstep, followed by a robust and upright man, whose smile was as bright as sunshine.
Wan Yan Jie?
Gong Jianying imdiately noticed Lin Chen, who was sleeping on the lounger in the pavilion, and her eyes widened in surprise, grinding her teeth subconsciously.
While she had been handling awkward social interactions outside, this fellow was lying comfortably inside the house!
It was infuriating!
Though Gong Jianying knew that this had nothing to do with Lin Chen, she couldn’t help feeling annoyed at the sight of his relaxed and comfortable manner.
“Brother Wan Yan, thank you for accompanying today.
My uncle’s longevity banquet is coming up, and I’m sure you’re very busy.
Please go ahead with your work; you don’t need to accompany .
I can manage on my own.”
Wan Yan Jie laughed heartily, “My father specifically instructed that everything else is none of my concern.
My only task is to take good care of junior sister, so please don’t send away.
Otherwise, if I don’t do a good job, my father will say I’ve been negligent and break my legs…”
