Lin Chen originally thought that as disciples of the Immortal Emperor, the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch and others must know more about the inner workings and was contemplating whether he could probe for so information, but clearly, they had no intention of going into detail.
Perhaps his qualifications weren’t enough.
Even though they were interested in recruiting him, matters concerning the Saints were naturally not necessary to be shared with him.
After drinking two more cups of tea, Lin Chen saw that the topic had been exhausted and took the initiative to say goodbye.
The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch and Qingluan Immortal Monarch did not hold him back but only suggested that Lin Chen think about his future path during this period.
After Lin Chen left, the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch held his tea and leisurely took a sip: "Why tell him about the Junior Brother?"
Qingluan Immortal Monarch lightly laughed: "He is not exactly an outsider. It’s alright to speak of it, and I did remind him not to spread it further."
The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch stared at Qingluan Immortal Monarch: "It seems, Junior Brother, you are quite determined to have him."
With a leisurely tone, Qingluan Immortal Monarch said: "It’s not necessarily about having him under , or as a Guest Elder, making a friend is also good."
The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch lightly laughed, his voice carrying a hint of sarcasm: "Junior Brother, you also have monts when you want to make friends? Saying this, you probably don’t believe it yourself."
Qingluan Immortal Monarch lightly laughed: "Different people, naturally different attitudes to be taken. Senior Brother, tell , have you ever seen soone like Lin Chen before?"
The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch fell silent for two seconds: "Over a hundred years old, at the Daluo Peak, by chance helped many around him beco Quasi-Saints, most crucially starting from a low-level Immortal Domain with sparse spiritual Qi and no background. I’ve seen all sorts of geniuses and demonic talents, but Lin Chen is truly the first of his kind."
Qingluan Immortal Monarch said with a laugh: "Right, so making friends with him, what’s wrong with that? I admire capable and skilled people, I have many capable subordinates, I don’t necessarily need him, one less won’t make a difference."
The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch chuckled: "Now that you put it this way, I actually quite agree."
The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch then stood up, no longer ntioning Lin Chen, but changing the subject.
"In the battle against Cheng Tuo, we all have an idea, to truly defeat him, it seems we need to show so real skills, otherwise, if we don’t handle the task our master entrusted to us well, it won’t be easy to explain."
Qingluan Immortal Monarch was silent for two seconds: "As long as the Senior Brother leads, I surely won’t be the one holding back."
The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch nodded: "That’s settled then. I will also talk about this with the Third Junior Brother. Our next battle with Cheng Tuo will inevitably be more intense than this one, we cannot afford mistakes."
Qingluan Immortal Monarch nodded, remaining silent.
The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch stood up: "Junior Brother, other matters are minor, the task our master entrusted is a major one, we can’t afford any mistakes, so we all must do our best to handle this well, to be able to report back to our master."
Qingluan Immortal Monarch calmly replied: "Naturally, the master’s teachings are engraved in my heart, I dare not forget."
Seven-colored Immortal Monarch waved his hand and smiled, "Let’s go. The tea is good; enjoy it slowly."
Qingluan Immortal Monarch stood up, "Senior Brother, take care!"
Seven-colored Immortal Monarch floated away, and Qingluan Immortal Monarch slowly sat down, leaning back in the chair, frowning.
As he just ntioned, he had many capable people under his command, including nurous Guest Elders and powerhouses. He would not necessarily miss Lin Chen, but Lin Chen having several Quasi-Saints at his side was sothing he naturally did not want the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch or Sea Burning Immortal Monarch to exploit.
For this reason, Qingluan Immortal Monarch was willing to offer a chip beyond the normal price to recruit Lin Chen, even willing to forgo recruitnt if it ant befriending Lin Chen to achieve the sa goal.
It was not necessary for Lin Chen to serve him personally, but at least if he did not serve his Senior Brother or Junior Brother, that would be enough.
Qingluan Immortal Monarch exhaled slowly, closed his eyes, and suddenly said, "What do you think of befriending Lin Chen?"
The two stunning handmaids standing behind Qingluan Immortal Monarch exchanged glances. The one brewing tea said softly, "Ordinarily, hearing about the chance to follow an Immortal Monarch, one would be overjoyed, even if they restrained themselves and held back, but the excitent in their heart would definitely not be hidden. However, Lin Chen did not show it."
Qingluan Immortal Monarch opened his eyes, frowned, and asked, "Are you saying he’s not willing in his heart?"
The handmaid replied, "He said that he belongs to the First Corps and feels bonded to the Legion. With the war intensifying, he is too busy to care for other matters. I believe this is true, but I also think it serves as an excuse."
"He seems to maintain a respectful but distant attitude towards the Immortal Monarchs. It seems he doesn’t really want to get involved with any of the Immortal Monarchs or join anyone’s camp."
"As for what you said about making friends, that might be difficult too. People of different statuses think about different things; it’s hard for them to truly be friends."
Qingluan Immortal Monarch snorted, "So you’re saying I can’t even make a friend?"
The handmaid behind him took over, "Of course, Immortal Monarch can make friends, but he would probably have many reservations. Let’s change the scenario; if the Bodhi Saint or Mixed Elent Saint suddenly approached you, with all sincerity wanting to befriend you, you probably would also have mixed feelings and many thoughts."
Qingluan Immortal Monarch turned his head, chuckled, and said, "Your analogy is quite straightforward. I understand; you an that if I want to befriend Lin Chen, Lin Chen would be worried that I have so ulterior motive. He wouldn’t believe I just want to be his friend, right?"
The tea-brewing woman chuckled, "Immortal Monarch wants to be friends with him, partly out of admiration, but this initial intention is probably not just about making friends, right?"
These two handmaids obviously had the trust of Qingluan Immortal Monarch, and such words did not anger him; he laughed and said, "You’re right. Since we all act with a purpose, we naturally can’t bla others for overthinking. But... are the terms I offered not attractive? This kid is not tempted at all?"
The tea-brewing woman spoke softly, "He is young and has already nearly reached the Daluo Peak. With several Quasi-Saints by his side and serving as the Vice Corps Commander, such achievents give him great pride, and he might not accept recruitnt. Perhaps in his view, accepting recruitnt would bind his freedom. After all, with his current strength, he can live well without relying on anyone, and no one would dare provoke him."
The woman behind agreed, "In cultivation, we cultivate our spirit. He has dealt with the Little Demon Emperor, Demon Emperor, and even disciples of the Great Wilderness Saint in the Demon World. His vision naturally sets him apart from ordinary people. Hence, his aspirations are also lofty."
Qingluan Immortal Monarch pondered, "You make sense. It seems I’ve held myself too high. Perhaps my unintended behaviors also contributed to Lin Chen’s respectful distance."
"For now, let this matter rest. At least my approach is better than my Senior Brother’s. If he doesn’t want to join my Qingluan Garden, he probably won’t join the Rainbow Palace or the Nihility Palace either. If so, I can accept this outco."
"The war continues. Keep an eye on him for . I don’t know why, but when he sits in front of , I always feel a subtle sensation as if there is so mystical connection..."
