Chapter 1037: Chapter 1057: Can I Keep Some Secrets?_1

Lin Chen replied calmly, "My surname is not Jiang, my surname is Lin. I learned that secret technique by chance, and I have met people from the Jiang family."

Yelü Yuan asked in surprise, "Jiang family’s secret techniques are not passed on to outsiders. Since your surname is Lin and you’re not a member of the Jiang family, why would they teach you?"

Lin Chen shrugged, "Because there’s no one left in Jiang family."

Yelü Yuan opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

Indeed, it was a very insightful answer.

Since there were no more members of the Jiang family, their rules didn’t need to be obeyed, and their secret techniques could be passed on to outsiders.

Gao Yi asked, "Although you saved the lives of everyone in our bandit group, I still want to ask, why did you join our bandit group?"

"The Black Profound Stone Essence Pearl."

Lin Chen openly answered, "I’ve said it before. I’ve been stuck at the Nascent Soul for some time and haven’t been able to break through. The Black Profound Stone Essence Pearl can help with this, so I wanted to try it."

"I couldn’t defeat you, so there was no way to steal it directly. Since I couldn’t beat you, I decided to join you. That’s why I stayed, to see if there was an opportunity to obtain the essence pearl openly."

The King Kong Bandit Group members were all dumbfounded.

So, this kid really meant what he said!

Did he really want to rob the King Kong Bandit Group and steal the Black Profound Stone Essence Pearl?

All eyes turned to Zhou Yuanji at once. Zhou Yuanji gave a bitter smile, took the box with the Black Profound Stone Essence Pearl from his spatial ring, and handed it respectfully to Lin Chen.

"As I said before, you saved our lives, so this essence pearl is yours. You did it, and so did I!"

Zhou Yuanji solemnly handed over the box, "Brother Lin, thank you for saving my life, thank you for saving everyone’s life."

Lin Chen reached out to take the box and smiled, "Then I won’t be polite."

He had originally come for the Black Profound Stone Essence Pearl, and now he had saved the entire King Kong Bandit Group, so he took the Black Profound Stone Essence Pearl with a clear conscience.

Zhou Yuanji laughed, "It’s only right. If we lose the Black Profound Stone Essence Pearl, we still have our lives and can slowly earn it back. If we lose our lives today, it’ll all be over, and this essence pearl would become someone else’s."

Yelü Yuan asked solemnly, "You saved all of our lives today, what do you want in return?"

Lin Chen shook the essence pearl box in his hand, "I’ve already received the best reward. This essence pearl belongs to Zhou Yuanji personally, so Boss Yelü, you can consider compensating Zhou Yuanji."

Yelü Yuan frowned, "You don’t want anything else?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Yes, as a powerful expert like you, I can’t possibly take you as my subordinate, and your Big Black Armor would be of no use to me. The military advisor’s two magical treasures are his prized possessions, and gentlemen don’t steal from others’ interests, so let’s just let it be."

Lin Chen paused and a smile appeared on his face, "Besides, when we had gains before, I also got a share when you guys distributed it, so doesn’t that make me a member of this group too?"

"Since I’m a member of the group, isn’t it natural for me to help out when the group is in danger?"

Yelü Yuan and Gao Yi looked at each other, their gazes a bit strange.

Gao Yi asked, "What is your background? With your skills and treasures, you’re not just an ordinary cultivator, are you?"

By now, Gao Yi absolutely did not believe that Lin Chen was a disciple of the Fierce Lion City Immortal Beast Sect.

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Everyone has their own privacy, right? I lied to you before because we had just met. Now I’m too embarrassed to lie to you anymore, so why don’t I keep some secrets?"

Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, everyone’s faces were filled with strange expressions.

Seems like this kid has quite the background.

Could it be that he’s a key genius disciple from some great sect?

Because of his identity, he couldn’t reveal it, otherwise, it would be a scandal if the news of him mixing with a bandit group spread, right?

Gao Yi nodded, "Of course it’s okay. If you don’t want to tell us, we won’t force you. But now that you have the essence pearl, are you ready to leave?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "I won’t leave. Why, are you guys planning to kick me out again?"

Yelü Yuan scratched his head in confusion and asked, "What, have you developed a taste for being a bandit? Do you plan to stay with us and continue being a bandit?"

Lin Chen laughed, "It’s not like that. It’s just that today, after being tricked by the Skeleton Gang and the Arhat Gang, aren’t you guys angry and wanting to take revenge?"

Yelü Yuan’s eyes widened, and he said angrily, "Of course I want revenge! If it weren’t for you, all of us would’ve been killed there today! Once my injuries heal, I’ll go find them!"

Lin Chen laughed, "Yes, I’m not happy either. After all, they wanted to kill me too. If I hadn’t been a bit capable, I might have died today as well. So naturally, we have to avenge this."

"Besides, we’re bandits. You guys are seeking revenge today, and they’re robbing. They not only robbed the Bewildering Immortal Order but also many valuable things. Now they’ve swallowed it all up. We must try to find a way to get these things back!"

Gao Yi’s eyes lit up, "Do you want the Bewildering Immortal Order?"
