Chapter 1200: Chapter 1200: What Is Meant to Come Has Finally Come

Seeing that Lin Chen hadn’t checked the message, Li Hanyi could only send another message to Liu Qingxia.

Originally, this matter should have been sent to Xu Ma’an. After all, besides Lin Chen being the Young Master, Xu Ma’an was the Sect Master of Jade Cauldron Sect.

However, this old fellow, in pursuit of cultivation, followed Lin Chen’s example and became a hands-off manager, directly delegating the sect’s affairs to Liu Qingxia.

Liu Qingxia had been handling Jade Cauldron Sect affairs for so long that everyone forgot these responsibilities originally belonged to Xu Ma’an and Lin Chen.

Over time, everyone developed the habit of seeking Liu Qingxia first to resolve issues.

Upon receiving the message, Liu Qingxia immediately contacted the Dark Division, instructing it to track Lei Hao’s whereabouts.

However, Lei Hao used a method his father gave him—a piece of exotic treasure that could instantly cross millions of miles—making it so that the Dark Division couldn’t track him at once.

It must be known that this method was a treasure even for Lei Haotian, showing his love by giving it to his son, essentially equating it to a life-saving exotic treasure.

It was a one-time method—once used, it was gone.

Therefore, for Lei Hao, this was a significant loss.

Escaping more than a million miles away, Lei Hao didn’t stop his flight, uncertain if people from the Eastern Domain would continue to hunt him down, and immediately fled towards the Flying Crane Sect.

Lei Hao’s current state of fleeing in such a sorry manner, humiliated as he was, made him furious beyond words.

Once his father emerges from seclusion, no matter what, he will have his father step in to flatten the Jade Cauldron Sect, making Lin Chen wish for death.

But for now, he could only tuck his tail, hide around, until he returned to the Flying Crane Sect.

Meanwhile, the message Liu Qingxia sent to Li Hanyi was to have him continue pursuing Lei Hao.

But after Lei Hao fled close to the Central State region, his familiarity with the terrain far surpassed Li Hanyi’s, and hiding there, how could Li Hanyi perceive him?

Just like that, after three days, Lin Chen exited seclusion and immediately sent a message to Li Hanyi to return.

Lin Chen knew just how dangerous the Central State was; even the strongest in the Eastern Domain would only have mid to lower-tier strength in Central State.

Upon receiving Lin Chen’s message, Li Hanyi quickly returned to the Eastern Domain.

During his journey to Central State, he sensed several powerful presences, each reaching the Creation Realm, which secretly shocked him.

To him, the Central State felt incomparably dangerous, and he didn’t wish to stay a moment longer.

He knew that those with powerful presences hadn’t bothered with him.

If those strong beings had taken issue with him, it would have been detrimental to him, and he would have had to flee like Lei Hao.

As for Lei Hao’s escape, Lin Chen had anticipated this result, after all, Lei Hao was the Young Sect Master of the Flying Crane Sect, and Lei Haotian would surely have left him with a life-saving magic treasure.

Attempting to kill Lei Hao wasn’t easy; Lin Chen didn’t hold much hope of successfully killing him.

After three days of recuperation, Lin Chen finally repaired the backlash in his body.

After leaving seclusion, he planned to leave this place as soon as possible, as he had a bad premonition...

"Little Junior Brother, where are you planning to go?"

Lin Chen had just stepped out of the seclusion room, looking around to find no one, intending to go to the teleportation array to return to Central State.

However, after taking just two steps, a graceful figure appeared in the passage ahead.

Seeing the woman, Lin Chen’s heart instantly skipped a beat, thinking to himself that this was trouble.

What was meant to come had finally come.

"Little Sister."

Lin Chen looked at Xu Lianyu, smiling calmly.

"Little Junior Brother, why have you been avoiding me all this time?"

"If I don’t actively seek you out, will you never come to see me?"

Xu Lianyu looked at Lin Chen, with an obvious tone of resentment.

"What are you talking about, Sister? Why would I avoid you?"

Seeing Xu Lianyu’s sorrowful face, Lin Chen’s heart suddenly panicked. Her look stirred compassion in him.

"If you weren’t avoiding me, then why can’t I find you every time you return?"

"If not for your seclusion, and me specifically waiting, were you planning to leave immediately after finishing?"

"Little Junior Brother, do you really just not want to see me?"

"Am I too willful, not as pretty as Sister Liu, so you disdain me?"

Xu Lianyu looked at Lin Chen, her eyes suddenly moistening, and she began to sob softly.

Seeing this, Lin Chen was instantly at a loss, dreading exactly this. He feared women crying, especially when it was someone he cared about, fearing he’d done something to wrong her.

"Little Sister, please don’t be like this, don’t cry, let’s have a proper talk, shall we?"

Lin Chen looked at Xu Lianyu, speaking anxiously.

Lin Chen was least skilled at making girls happy, finding it more daunting than fighting the strongest enemies on the battlefield.

"Okay, I won’t cry, but promise me that wherever you go, you will take me with you in the future."

Xu Lianyu looked at Lin Chen with deep affection and said.

She had worked very hard on her cultivation, but no matter what, she could never keep up with Lin Chen’s pace.

In truth, she didn’t want Lin Chen to become too powerful because then the gap between them would only widen. She feared that one day Lin Chen would never return, and Jade Cauldron Sect would no longer be Lin Chen’s home.

"Sister, it’s not that I don’t want to take you with me, but Central State is too dangerous, and if you all go, I’m afraid I won’t be able to protect you."

Lin Chen looked at Xu Lianyu and spoke helplessly.

"Excuses, all excuses, you just don’t want to take me along, think I’m a burden, disdain me, right?"

Other words, Xu Lianyu couldn’t hear at all; she only heard that Lin Chen was unwilling to have her by his side.

"Sister, it’s really not what you think. After all these years, don’t you understand me yet?"

"And my feelings, are you still not clear about them?"

Lin Chen looked at Xu Lianyu and spoke softly. Then he walked to her side and pulled her into his embrace, holding her tightly.

Xu Lianyu was suddenly stunned; this was the first time Lin Chen had hugged her in all these years.
