Chapter 145: Chapter 165: Will You Be Scared, or Feel Uncomfortable Inside? _1

When Lin Chen entered the room, Chu Jiaxue was sitting at the head of the bed reading a book.

"You’re back."

Lin Chen smiled, "I’ll take a shower first."

As Lin Chen turned around, Chu Jiaxue clearly saw the large, splattered bloodstain on his T-shirt, her face involuntarily changing slightly.

"Are you hurt?"

Lin Chen was slightly taken aback and turned his head, "No, why would you ask that?"

Chu Jiaxue let out a sigh of relief, hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell the truth, "There’s blood on the back of your clothes."

Lin Chen blinked and smiled faintly, "It’s someone else’s."

Chu Jiaxue pursed her lips and nodded lightly, "As long as you’re not hurt, go take your shower."

"Alright!"

After Lin Chen finished showering and returned to bed, Chu Jiaxue had already lied down, leaving him with an infinitely beautiful slender silhouette.

Lin Chen turned off the light and lay down as well.

Chu Jiaxue’s breathing was uneven, and it was obvious that she wasn’t asleep.

Lin Chen suddenly spoke, "The blood is from the Lei family. They planned to wipe out another cultivator family, the Han Family, today. Someone from the Han Family who has a good relationship with me called for help, so I rushed over and helped the Han Family members wipe out the Lei Family."

Chu Jiaxue, startled, turned over and stared intently at Lin Chen, "What do you mean, wiped them out?"

Lin Chen explained, "There’s an unwritten rule in the conflicts between cultivator families, that is, the winner won’t completely exterminate the loser’s family, as many of the weak, women, and children are innocent. The winner will only strip away all the cultivation strength of the losing party. In simple terms, they will disable all cultivators, turning them into ordinary people, and remove them from the ranks of cultivator families."

"The Lei family invited a strong reinforcement today, mobilized their entire force, and even came up with an excuse to gather all the Han family’s cultivators, intending to wipe them all out and remove the Han family from the cultivation world. If I hadn’t gone today, the Lei family would have succeeded."

Chu Jiaxue, shocked, looked at Lin Chen, "So does that mean all the people from the Lei family turned into ordinary people?"

Lin Chen answered candidly, "At first, I only killed Lei Yue, the person we encountered at the restaurant yesterday, who was also the mastermind behind yesterday’s attack on us."

"The Lei family head, Lei Gong, gave more money to that strong reinforcement to get rid of me. After I killed the reinforcement, I told Lei Gong that if he died, all the other Lei family members could keep their lives if they gave up cultivation. But they refused and tried to kill me together. Since that was the case, I naturally didn’t hold back and killed everyone who attacked me, including Lei Gong."

"There were a total of fifteen or sixteen people from the Lei family, and in the end, five or six were left, captured by the Han Family, and had their cultivation strength stripped, sparing their lives. After this battle, the Lei family was removed from the cultivation world."

Chu Jiaxue, alarmed, asked, "With so many people you killed, wouldn’t there be any trouble?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "The Han family will handle everything, and besides, when they tried to kill me, my counterattack was just self-defense. I couldn’t just let them kill me without fighting back."

Chu Jiaxue sighed with relief and exclaimed, "As long as you’re alright... Is the world of cultivators really so cruel, attacking people’s lives and wiping out families at the drop of a hat?"

"Where in life is there no battlefield? Isn’t the business world you’ve experienced like a battlefield as well, where people are easily ruined and never recover? The battles between cultivators are just more direct."

Lin Chen looked at Chu Jiaxue’s shocked face and comforted her with a smile, "In fact, the conflicts between cultivators aren’t as exaggerated as you think. The Tian family, Lei family, and Han family have lived peacefully without incident for forty or fifty years. It’s only now that the Han family has lost strength over the years, causing the Lei family to think about incorporating them."

Chu Jiaxue pursed her lips, "It just feels like so much has happened in such a short amount of time, one thing after another, and each one is so frightening."

Lin Chen smiled in response, "That’s because I’m a variable. Otherwise, many things would have gone smoothly without any waves. With their energy, the situations would have been silently resolved without alerting anyone."

Chu Jiaxue thought carefully and realized that it made sense. Whether it was Zhao Yiheng or the Lei family, it would be too easy for them if they were just dealing with her alone.

If it weren’t for Lin Chen’s intervention, she would’ve already fallen silently into their traps and been silently ruined by them.

Because of Lin Chen, Chu Jiaxue had the opportunity to see the development of events from Lin Chen’s perspective. If she were an ordinary person, she would’ve been played to death long ago, where would she have the chance to even confront or retaliate against the other party?

Chu Jiaxue whispered, "If one day, you encounter someone you can’t beat, what will you do?"

Lin Chen laughed, "If I can’t win, I’ll just run away. I’m not stupid, not only am I good at fighting, but I’m also great at escaping. A few years ago, when I did a mission, I was chased by dozens of experts, chased for several hundred kilometers, and in the end, I still got away."

"If..."

Chu Jiaxue blurted out two words but immediately closed her mouth again.

She and Lin Chen couldn’t even be considered a couple. Saying something like, letting Lin Chen run away without worrying about her if they ever encountered danger together seemed pretentious and awkward.

Lin Chen couldn’t guess why Chu Jiaxue held her words back, and after a few seconds of silence, he asked softly, "Now that I’ve killed so many people, and we’re still in bed together, does it scare you, or make you feel uncomfortable inside?"
