"No problem, of course there’s no problem!"
Lin Chen explained with a laugh, "Not to ntion I’ll cover for the Palace lord, even if there really was sothing, the Palace lord is a Quasi-Saint in strength. What could happen? I was just thinking that with the Palace lord’s status, going to the Immortal Realm would definitely involve bringing more people, just a minor accident."
The Palace lord spoke softly, "Don’t overestimate . I’ve been injured by the Black Hair Gu. Before it’s completely eradicated, I can’t take action. Once I do, the Black Hair Gu inside might take the opportunity to proliferate and end my life, so my safety still relies on you."
Lin Chen was slightly surprised, but then it seed normal—after all, that was the Black Hair Gu that even Saints couldn’t handle!
Saints could suppress the Black Hair Gu in the Palace lord’s body, maintaining so sort of balance. Once the Palace lord went all out in a battle, that balance might be broken, unable to suppress the Black Hair Gu, and they would take advantage of the weakness.
"Is that so? Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of the Palace lord. Just rest easy!"
The Palace lord smiled faintly, "Alright, all the trouble to you. Once we are in the Immortal Realm, that will be your territory, and it’ll be your turn to take good care of ."
Lin Chen said with a wry smile, "What ’my territory?’ I’m just a small fry in the Immortal Realm, don’t even have a place to stand."
At this mont, the Palace lord felt inexplicably better and laughed, "Didn’t you say before that you had connections with this and that person? Were you just bragging?"
Lin Chen replied, "Of course not, the seniors appreciate . But I should also be aware of my limitations, can’t get too arrogant, right?"
The Palace lord laughed, "Okay then, it’s all up to you now. I won’t interfere. Also, those things my master told you about , well, my master just wanted to test you a bit, said it offhand. Don’t take it to heart."
When the subject ca up, Lin Chen was sowhat embarrassed, "Alright, I guessed it was a test from the senior. With the Palace lord’s conditions and mine, how could it be possible."
In her heart, the Palace lord also felt a bit awkward, but her expression was concealed by the mask.
"You and your spouse are united, living in harmony. I wouldn’t be so blind. Although I might be a bit ugly and not sought after, I would never destroy soone’s marital happiness..."
Lin Chen waved his hand, "Palace lord, the way you put it, I don’t even know how to respond. Who knows how many people adore the Palace lord, wanting to beco her Daoist couple? I’m not spouting nonsense. I could na a few right off the bat, all of them young geniuses with great potential and impressive presence..."
They are not as good as you!
The Palace lord added inwardly, then suddenly snapped back to reality. Ah, it seed she really had so feelings for him, her thoughts were becoming hard to control.
Luckily, her master had brought the topic into the open, and they could just consider it a joke, nothing to be concerned about.
As for her own feelings, given enough ti, maybe they would fade.
This trip to the Immortal Realm, how would he treat her?
Initially, he had led his Third Squad to the Great Wilderness Palace to seek support, and now that he’s returning to the Immortal Realm, would his attitude change?
Perhaps, traveling with him for a while would lead to new insights?
After all, people have different attitudes in different environnts. Who can really see clearly which one is the true self?
"Alright, you go get busy, start preparing."
Lin Chen humd in response but didn’t move. Instead, he asked, "The eighteen ancestors that first ca to the Great Wilderness Palace, would any of them want to return to the Immortal Realm, or rather, if there are any, should we take this opportunity to bring them back? Does the Great Wilderness Palace permit it?"
Palace lord pondered for two seconds, "I will inquire with i Mingzhi about this matter, and if they truly wish to return, I won’t stop them."
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I’m not concerned about the others, but for Par with Heaven, may I personally ask him?"
The palace lord stared at Lin Chen, "Why? Just because you shared wine with him?"
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I’m not clear about the others either, but as they say, ’In vino veritas.’ Since he’s alone, if he can return, I think he probably wants to."
"When I first arrived, he offered so help. Although it wasn’t necessary or particularly effective, help is help. Now that I have the chance to return, I might as well assist him if I can. After all, his strength isn’t much now, and even if he leaves, it won’t impact anything."
The palace lord was silent for a few seconds, then nodded, "You are indeed a good person."
Another ’good person’ card?
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "After all, it’s just a matter of convenience, and I haven’t lost anything, right?"
"Fine, go ask him, but only him, and this matter must not be spread."
The palace lord warned, "If word of this gets out, it may cause trouble."
Lin Chen nodded gravely, "I understand, I’ll only ask him."
Lin Chen returned to Dawn Camp, and upon seeing him, both Master Floating Cloud and Chu Jiaxue breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them were the only ones who knew Lin Chen had gone to see the Great Wilderness Saint and also knew of Lin Chen’s desire to return to the Immortal Realm. So, their hearts had been in suspense, fearing Lin Chen might be gone without return. Now, seeing him return safe and sound, their anxious hearts were finally at ease.
Leaving aside whether they could return, at least he was safe!
Lin Chen took the two into his own room, set up a soundproofing array, and then recapped what had happened.
Both of them looked surprised and delighted after hearing the news.
"We can return, that’s wonderful!"
Master Floating Cloud stroked his beard, his face full of excitent, "No matter how well we do in the Great Wilderness Palace, it’s still soone else’s territory, not our own hotown!"
A joyful smile also appeared on Chu Jiaxue’s face, "We’ve been here for quite a while now. I’m afraid they’re all worried to death, and finally, we can return."
Lin Chen echoed with a sigh, "Indeed, a golden den and a silver den are not as good as one’s own dog den. Ho is always the most comfortable place."
After a pause, Lin Chen continued with a laugh, "Our trip to the Demon World wasn’t in vain either. Jia Xue, the Master has beco a Quasi-Saint, Nalan has hopes too, I’ve also advanced to Top Grade, and I’ve gained many insights, it’s been a rewarding journey."
"The Third Squad has been following , fighting in the Demon World for so long. Although there have been casualties, they were few, and being able to bring everyone back safely is a testant to the trust they initially placed in ."
Master Floating Cloud smiled, "Back then, the corps were all picking people to expand in preparation for the decisive battle. If we hadn’t joined your Third Squad but were chosen by another team, then who knows how many of us would still be alive today. This is already the best possible outco."
Chu Jiaxue fixed her gaze on Lin Chen, "What about after we return to the Immortal Realm?"
Lin Chen thought for a mont, "Definitely have to first return to the War God Mansion to report the situation here. As for what cos next, we’ll have to see how the War God Mansion arranges things. However, the Great Wilderness Saint did remind that my future actions should be more low-key and try not to catch the Saints’ attention."
"Also, let’s keep my possession of the Starry Sky Jumping Divine Ability among ourselves, it’s better if no one else knows. Sothing that even the Great Wilderness Saint desires might attract interest from other Saints..."
