Chapter 395: Chapter 395: Accept the Loss After Gambling

Hong Lan, once she understood what Lin Chen intended to do next, suddenly retreated a few steps, her face blushing crimson.

The handsome man before her was, unexpectedly, a despicable fellow.

Meanwhile, the spectators around them began to fuel the atmosphere, shouting for Lin Chen to quickly strip the woman of her clothes, all of them eagerly waiting to feast their eyes on the spectacle.

Lin Chen was rendered speechless by the words of the onlookers.

When had he ever become the person they described, always asking those defeated by him to hand over their treasures, never demanding they remove their clothes.

Although there were a few accidents prior to this, where the clothing itself was among the treasures and Lin Chen asked them to give up their treasures, they feared he would kill them, so they left nothing behind, handing over even their clothes to Lin Chen.

"You, keep away from me, pervert."

Having learned from the crowd what kind of person Lin Chen was, Hong Lan instantly grew fearful, constantly retreating, her complexion turning sallow with dread of Lin Chen’s approach.

After the preceding battle, she was well aware that she could not possibly be Lin Chen’s match.

If Lin Chen really wanted to strip her of her clothes, it would be an easy thing to do, so in that moment, Hong Lan became frightened.

She was always extroverted, and although she dressed seductively, she found it amusing when men passing by focused their attention on her, but she was still untouched, never having been approached by a man, and naturally couldn’t accept Lin Chen’s reckless behavior.

Hearing Hong Lan’s words, Lin Chen grew even more exasperated.

It was just a spar, how had he become a pervert.

"Don’t try to wriggle out of it, hurry up and hand over all the treasures you have as agreed."

Lin Chen said indifferently, and then took two steps towards Hong Lan. This action immediately made Hong Lan think that Lin Chen was plotting some indecent act, and she grew pale with fear, her Spiritual Light flashing as a sword suddenly appeared in her hand, ready to fight to the death with Lin Chen.

Even in death, she couldn’t let Lin Chen dishonor her, especially not in front of so many people.

In the esteemed Formation Sect, could someone really act in such a manner without anyone intervening?

Hong Lan thought to herself, and at this moment, a middle-aged man who was with Hong Lan, stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Hong Lan, watching Lin Chen warily.

"Brother, my junior sister is new here and unknowing of the rules. Her impulsive temperament has offended the young master. I hope the young master has a broad enough heart to pardon my junior sister."

The middle-aged man’s gaze fell on Lin Chen, and he spoke with a smile on his face.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen silently sneered, thinking he had never seen such a shameless person.

Lost a bet and then claimed it was due to temperament, asking him to let her off, is that possible?

If everyone acted like this after a fight, what was the point of making a bet at all?

"I don’t know what your junior sister is like in your own sect, but this is the Formation Sect. Since she challenged me, she naturally should be able to accept losing. According to the bet, she should hand over all the treasures on her person. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not being polite."

"You ask any of the spectators around, which one doesn’t honor a bet they’ve lost? When it comes to you guys, why do you play such dirty tricks?"

"Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to harm you? I don’t mind searching for treasures on your corpses."

Lin Chen said to the four Hong Lan before him, his tone ice-cold.

"Yes, since you’ve come to Baiming Garden, you should be prepared to accept defeat."

"Your sister there was quite arrogant just now, boasting that she would easily defeat Young Master Lin Chen. And now, why is she acting so cowardly and trying to shirk responsibility by claiming it’s her nature? What? Are we supposed to indulge her temperament?"

"If you ask me, Young Master Lin Chen, don’t waste your breath on them. Just go ahead and strip off their clothes."

The crowd around them chimed in with their teasing calls again.

Many among the onlookers had also lost to Lin Chen, with some even incited by that shabbily dressed person to challenge Lin Chen, only to be utterly defeated by him in one move.

However, those around them in the past had not behaved as unscrupulously as Hong Lan and her group; they had readily handed over their treasures.

"Sister, consider this a costly lesson and hand over the treasures you have to him," the middle-aged man said, coming up to Hong Lan with a look of resignation.

Although his cultivation was slightly lower than Hong Lan’s, his combat ability was on par. His sister had always looked down on others, relying on her superior talent in cultivation. Now she had finally met her match in Lin Chen.

Lin Chen’s previous display of swordsmanship in defeating Hong Lan was unfathomably proficient; he didn’t even see it clearly.

The middle-aged man was sure that even if the four siblings joined forces, they might not be able to be a match for Lin Chen. It would be better to admit defeat, hand over the treasures to Lin Chen, and perhaps be able to turn hostility into friendship.

After all, so many around here had been defeated by Lin Chen, and from the looks of it, they didn’t seem to hold much deep hatred towards him.

Having their treasures taken and still being so amiable, it was clear they were wary of Lin Chen’s strength. Thus, the middle-aged man secretly decided, they must not become Lin Chen’s enemies.

Hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Hong Lan felt extremely helpless and eventually had no choice but to comply and hand over all the treasures she had on her to Lin Chen.

She had really thought Lin Chen was some kind of rogue, intent on stripping her naked; thankfully, he was only truly after the treasures.

Even though it was just the treasures, Hong Lan still felt a great reluctance in her heart.

But there was nothing she could do about it. Who asked her not to listen to the advice of the middle-aged man earlier and lose to Lin Chen?

Lin Chen received the treasures handed over by the woman, nodded in satisfaction, and then headed back to his own room.

Among the four people including Hong Lan, a frail youth showed unwillingness on his face, eager to attack Lin Chen, but he was stopped by the middle-aged man.

Their purpose for this trip was to participate in the recruitment contest and be selected as disciples by the Formation Sect. It was not prudent to reveal their full strength just yet. Moreover, the middle-aged man always had the feeling that even if the four of them joined forces, they still might not be able to defeat Lin Chen.

If that were the case, they could forget about participating in the upcoming recruitment contest.

Returning to his accommodations, Lin Chen took out the collected elixirs and Spirit Stones and immediately began to cultivate.

As the recruitment contest drew nearer, more and more people were arriving at the Formation Sect. Lin Chen had to enhance his strength as quickly as possible; challenging him were becoming increasingly difficult.
