Chapter 1617: Chapter 1637: Senior Brother, You Can’t Even Handle This_1

Lin Chen smiled slightly, his demeanor calm.

"Gu Gongyou is my senior brother, and you are his friend, so naturally, I should call you Senior Sister or elder sister," he said.

Dugu Feiyan looked surprised, "Gu Gongyou is your senior brother? Who is your master?"

Lin Chen smiled, "Su Shaoling."

Wonderment filled Dugu Feiyan’s eyes, "When did Su Shaoling accept a disciple?"

Lin Chen replied, "More than eight years ago, I stayed at the White Crane Immortal Sect as a guest where I met my master’s primordial spirit avatar and was accepted as his disciple. I officially joined the White Crane Immortal Sect."

Dugu Feiyan finally understood, "So what you’re saying is, the legacy left by Su Shaoling is actually his primordial spirit avatar?"

"Yes."

Dugu Feiyan nodded, "Alright, it would be correct for you to call me elder sister, by the rule of seniority. What did your senior brother instruct you to deliver to me?"

Lin Chen took out the token and Image Recording Stone given by Gu Gongyou and handed them to Dugu Feiyan.

"Wait a moment."

Dugu Feiyan took both items and went into the inner room presumably to inspect the Image Recording Stone.

Some time later, Dugu Feiyan returned, her normally calm gaze now possessing a few hints of surprise.

"How is your senior brother doing now?"

Lin Chen replied, "I only met him once; he has been in Closed Door Cultivation for three hundred years. Although he seems vigorous and lively, he mentioned that he might be on the verge of breakthrough."

Dugu Feiyan’s eyes lit up, "Mid-Tianxian stage?"

"Yes!"

Dugu Feiyan was Gu Gongyou’s friend, and there was no enmity between the White Crane Immortal Sect and the North Profound Sect. Therefore, Lin Chen had no reason to hide the truth.

Dugu Feiyan smiled in relief, "So he is finally about to progress further. He has put in a lot of effort to reach this stage."

Lin Chen wasn’t too clear about the relationship between Dugu Feiyan and Gu Gongyou, so he did not comment further.

After two seconds of silence, Lin Chen decided to take his leave.

"Senior Sister Dugu, I’ve already completed my senior brother’s task. I shall take leave now," he said.

"Don’t rush to leave."

Dugu Feiyan took a teacup and poured tea for Lin Chen, "You have already called me elder sister. It wouldn’t be right for you to leave without even having a drink of water."

Lin Chen had no choice but to sit and drink the tea, courteously.

The tea was naturally Spiritual Tea, displaying an aura of Immortal Energy, but Lin Chen found the tea somewhat hard to swallow.

He found it somewhat awkward to be in the company of a stranger.

"Did you senior brother tell you about our relationship?"

Lin Chen shook his head honestly, "He didn’t mention anything."

In fact, Gu Gongyou did mention it once. He used two words to describe their relationship - "Old friend".

Lin Chen wasn’t sure what reaction a woman would have to those two words, so he simply pretended not to know.

Dugu Feiyan stared at Lin Chen and chuckled, "You must be guessing if we were lovers?"

Lin Chen’s cheeks colored slightly as his thoughts were seen through by Dugu Feiyan.

Fortunately, Dugu Feiyan didn’t dwell on his embarrassment and added quickly, "We weren’t lovers."

No?

Lin Chen was somewhat surprised now.

They were not lovers, but why was senior brother acting so mysteriously?

Could it be unrequited love, or perhaps a secret crush?

The gossip king within Lin Chen surged with excitement, but he wasn’t sure if he should ask, so he decided to keep quiet and listen.

Dugu Feiyan took a deep breath before she spoke, "We adventured together and even got trapped in a Secret Realm. We were closed off for exactly ten years before we barely managed to escape. I would consider us friends who went through hardship together. Perhaps, if we were trapped a bit longer, we might have actually become lovers."

Friends in adversity!

Senior brother, you are too much!

A man and a woman together for ten years in a closed environment, so suitable for dating or having children, and you still couldn’t manage to win her over?

Dugu Feiyan brought out the token Lin Chen had given her earlier, then took out a map from her Spatial Ring.

"These are the results of our adventurous expeditions. A map and a token, representing a chance which may exist or may not exist."

"This map points to the location of a Cave Mansion left by a Peak Celestial Immortal, and this token is the key to entering it. However, there is a restriction to this Cave Mansion – only True Immortals, or individuals with less cultivation than a True Immortal, can enter."

"We were both at the peak of True Immortal stage back then, which allowed us to enter. We agreed to explore this Cave Mansion together when we returned, so we each held onto one of the two items."

"Be it the map or the token, one cannot enter the Mansion without both. But who knew that we would be delayed by other matters after we returned, and moreover, both of us successfully advanced to the Celestial Immortal stage, resulting in us losing the qualified status to enter the Cave Mansion."

"We didn’t tell anyone about this. And this being a matter between the two of us, it was agreed that even if anyone was to explore the Mansion, it had to be the two of us together. Thus, it was delayed even further."

"This time, your senior brother asked you to bring the token to me, saying that he was sorry for not keeping his word all these years. So he gave me the token and asked me to find someone else to explore the Mansion."

Dugu Feiyan smiled slightly, "Actually, after my strength broke through to the Golden Immortal stage, I stopped worrying about this matter and took it as a fond memory. But now that he has sent the token over, it’s necessary to settle this matter..."
