Chapter 1023: Chapter 1043: You Really Intend to Rob Us, Huh?_1

"You’ve been following us for a month, so what, you still want to follow us?"

He Qianshan laughed: "What are you after?"

Lin Chen joked: "What, do you look down on my low strength?"

He Qianshan shook his head: "If I looked down on you, why would I drink with you? Military Advisor says you’re not simple, following us must have a purpose, I’m just curious, what is your purpose?"

Lin Chen was startled: "Did Mr. Gao really say that?"

He Qianshan nodded: "Yeah, don’t be nervous, since I am talking about it, obviously there is nothing unspeakable."

Lin Chen thought for a moment, and calmly said: "I really came for the Black Profound Stones. I’m stuck in a bottleneck, and with so many Black Profound Stones in your hands, I wanted to see if I had a chance to get a Black Profound Stone Essence Bead."

He Qianshan widened his eyes: "Are you serious?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "I’ve always been telling the truth, just you guys don’t believe me..."

He Qianshan chuckled: "Haha, what do you plan to do, steal it or rob it? The Black Profound Stones are with the military advisor, although his strength isn’t as strong as the boss, but his magical treasures are very powerful, it would be difficult for you with your Nascent Soul Strength."

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "I guess Mr. Gao would be waiting for me to make a move so he can legitimately get rid of me."

He Qianshan wondered: "What makes you, a Nascent Soul, so daring? We, the worst among us, are at Transforming God stage, and any one of us could easily crush you in a head-to-head battle, yet you still voluntarily mingle with us robbers and refuse to leave..."

Having come to this point, Lin Chen thought he could also speak honestly. After all, having spent a month together, he found that although these people were bandits, they had some principles and were not entirely evil.

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "I was just passing by Xingyuan City and heard about the City Lord and his wife’s situation..."

He Qianshan interrupted and asked: "What happened?"

Lin Chen recounted the story of the City Lord couple, and He Qianshan angrily said: "These demon race members, extremely hateful, they ought to be killed!"

Lin Chen continued: "After killing them, I originally planned to leave and return to Xixi State, but I was worried that other demon race members would seek revenge after I left. I was stuck at a bottleneck and decided to stay. After all, isn’t being stuck the same everywhere?"

"Not long after, you arrived. I heard about the use of Black Profound Stones for the first time from you, which gave me some ideas, one of which was to use Black Profound Stone Essence Bead to help me break through."

"I was indeed suspicious of your identity, afraid that you were a deceiver. Moreover, I heard from a steward that you had visited once many years ago, and as long as you pay, you wouldn’t bother the people. You were very well-behaved, so I thought of following you to confirm and also to see the legendary Eight Great Kings."

"After meeting you guys, I found that you are quite different from the legendary ones and quite interesting, so I wanted to stay and watch. After all, I am just staying wherever I am, and you still have a lot of Black Profound Stones in your hands, so I was thinking about how to get them."

He Qianshan’s face became strange: "Are you really planning to rob us?"

Lin Chen laughed: "Just thinking about it. After seeing the strength of Ye Lü Lao Da and Mr. Gao, I naturally gave up on that idea. Besides, you guys are not the bloodthirsty villains that I had imagined, but rather quite principled."

"Anyway, that’s how it is, and then I stayed until now. So, as I said before, I was telling the truth and didn’t deceive you."

He Qianshan gave a thumbs up: "Kid, you are quite bold, not afraid that we would kill you on sight."

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "Take one step at a time. There is no certainty in the world."

He Qianshan asked with interest: "So what now? What are your thoughts?"

Lin Chen laughed: "What can I do? Just keep following you guys, maybe one day I’ll make a great contribution and have a chance at getting a Black Profound Stone Essence Bead."

He Qianshan laughed: "Aren’t you a City Lord? You should go back and be a good City Lord, collecting Black Profound Stones."

Lin Chen shook his head: "It’s too slow. The annual output isn’t much, they have their own demands, and there are outside transactions as well as robberies like yours. I don’t have the heart to be ruthless. I can’t get many Black Profound Stones in a year, let alone collect five thousand over many years. I don’t even know if I will be able to serve as a City Lord for that many years..."

He Qianshan nodded in understanding: "That’s true, with your Nascent Soul strength, if someone really comes for a fight, you may not be able to hold on."

After a pause, He Qianshan laughed: "However, it’s difficult for you to make a great contribution in our group with this strength. Even if there are Black Profound Stone Essence Beads, they won’t be yours. Besides, our actions are often full of danger. If you, Nascent Soul, are not careful, you might be gone."

"Don’t expect anyone to help you. We are robbers, and we rely on ourselves. If we really encounter powerful opponents, the Boss will certainly face the strongest, and the rest will depend on our ability to escape. When that time comes, we won’t be able to care for ourselves, let alone you."

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "Of course I have thought about that. Life and death are predestined, and wealth comes from heaven. When escaping, I still have some means..."
