Chapter 1542: Chapter 1562: I will wait for the day you come!_1

"I’ve taken too much advantage of you, and I have nothing to return the favor with. This token might be useful to some extent..."

Lin Chen laughed, "What advantage? What are you talking about?"

Yao Xuanji sighed, "The Immortal Palace used to have a treasure vault with countless treasures, but only my father could enter it. No one else could, so I couldn’t even give you any of those treasures."

"The treasures and cultivation techniques you have are unique, even better than what I can offer, so I didn’t give you anything to avoid being laughed at. I will make it up to you when I have the chance."

"Before the Immortal Palace is truly overthrown, this Immortal Palace Order could be useful, especially in public places. The more people there are, the more useful it is. But if it’s in private, you need to be sure about the person at hand. Otherwise, showing your Immortal Palace Order might not help you, but could bring you trouble."

Lin Chen understood immediately. Under scrutiny, no one would dare to say they wouldn’t obey the Immortal Palace Order, so it could be very useful. But in private, showing the Immortal Palace Order to someone who was dissatisfied with, or even wanted to overthrow the Immortal Palace, wouldn’t that be inviting trouble?

"Thank you, this Immortal Palace Order is even more useful than any treasure."

Lin Chen smiled as he pocketed the Immortal Palace Order, "A good treasure could protect me from an attack by a strong figure. However, the Immortal Palace Order could get me help from a sect. This is no small favor."

Yao Xuanji let out a sigh of relief, having seen Lin Chen accept the gift: "It’s good if you don’t mind it, I really can’t offer anything better at the moment."

Lin Chen looked at Yao Xuanji, "Is the Immortal Palace really in such deep trouble now?"

Yao Xuanji frowned bitterly, "My father has been missing for five hundred years, causing many sects to consider electing a new Domain Lord. However, it was my presence that kept these ideas at bay. The seeds of these thoughts are already growing and are impossible to suppress."

"In order for the Immortal Palace to maintain its authority, it naturally can’t appear too weak. But in reality, the Immortal Palace’s strength isn’t very strong, leading to it seeming strong on the surface but weak inside. The only upside is that we have substantial support from two great sects without which, I alone couldn’t hold on."

Lin Chen looked at Yao Xuanji, his eyes filled with a degree of sympathy.

Despite being suppressed for ten thousand years, Yao Xuanji was still young and somewhat naive. Suddenly making her the Master of the Immortal Domain and having her face many potential rebellious forces was indeed quite difficult for her.

It’s not that Lin Chen didn’t want to help her. It’s just that his strength was still too weak. Even if he stood by her side, what could he do?

Even a peak True Immortal couldn’t be defeated, let alone a Golden Immortal or a Fairy!

Don’t make emotional promises if you don’t have the capability to fulfill them!

Lin Chen remained silent.

Yao Xuanji didn’t expect Lin Chen to do anything for her. She was just taking a break from her busy schedule to visit Lin Chen and drop by Wanli Palace to stabilize the situation of the Cloud Sky Continent. Now, with Lin Chen’s help, Ao Li has fully intervened, heavily hitting the Heavenly Dao Alliance. This is already a super good result.

Lin Chen already did a huge favor!

The two silently watched the sunset fall, bit by bit, just as the last ray of sun was about to be swallowed by the horizon, Yao Xuanji suddenly asked, "When I’m gone, will you miss me?"

Lin Chen paused for two seconds, "I will worry about you."

Lin Chen was telling the truth. As a friend who had shared hardships and near-death experiences, he would naturally worry about Yao Xuanji, considering the heavy responsibilities she had on her shoulders right now.

Yao Xuanji took a deep breath, her eyes narrowing slightly, seemingly very satisfied with Lin Chen’s answer.

"Then you better get stronger quickly. I look forward to the day when you will come to my rescue in a time of danger, standing on a rainbow-colored cloud, effortlessly defeating all enemies, and then smiling and telling me, ’I am here’."

Lin Chen forced a smile.

Effortlessly defeat all enemies?

Enemies that not even the Immortal Palace could handle would be at least a group of late-stage Celestial Immortals, if not peak Celestial Immortals, right? How am I supposed to defeat them all by myself?

Higher than Daluo?

Although I have some confidence in myself, how much time would that take? You really have faith in me!

Despite feeling that Yao Xuanji was probably joking, Lin Chen made a solemn promise: "I will cultivate diligently and increase my strength as soon as possible. If one day you really need help, no matter what my strength is, I will come to assist you!"

Yao Xuanji turned her head, her eyes sparkling like she was emitting light.

"You’re not lying to me?"

Lin Chen sincerely replied, "No, I’m serious. We are good friends, aren’t we?"

Yao Xuanji’s face lit up with an extra warm smile, "Okay, it’s a deal. If I really face danger, I will certainly hold on, waiting for the day you come to rescue me!"

Suddenly, Yao Xuanji got closer, and quickly pecked Lin Chen on the cheek.

"This is the down payment!"

Yao Xuanji quickly pulled back, turning her face away and not daring to look at Lin Chen, but Lin Chen saw her pretty face in the setting sun, which was even redder than the sunset...
