Chapter 1618: Chapter 1638: That Expression... You’re Unwilling?_1

After hearing the old story of Dugu Feiyan and his Senior Brother, Lin Chen laughed and said, "Since your Senior Brother gave you this token, it naturally belongs to you. Although you no longer need it, you can give it to a junior disciple from your sect whom you like or admire."

Dugu Feiyan looked at Lin Chen with clear eyes and smiled, "Even though he indeed gave it to me, we originally agreed to explore it together. We almost lost our lives for it back then, so we can’t break our promise."

Lin Chen looked slightly puzzled, "What does that mean, Sister Dugu?"

"Fulfill the contract of that year."

Dugu Feiyan smiled, "The agreement was for the two of us to explore it together afterwards. Now that neither of us can enter, why not give it to you? You are the junior disciple in whom he trusts. I’ll find another person, and you two can form a team to explore this Cave Mansion. How’s that?"

Lin Chen looked surprised, "But the Senior Brother already gave you the token to do as you please, so why aren’t you giving it directly to someone from your North Profound Sect?"

Dugu Feiyan smirked and chuckled, "Like I said, since we made a pledge, it should be executed. We need to keep our words. Or are you unwilling?"

Lin Chen laughed, "Of course not, an opportunity like this is hard to come by, why wouldn’t I seize it?"

"Isn’t that settled then?"

Dugu Feiyan made a quick decision, "That’s it then. On your trip here, are you in a hurry with your schedule?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "No, I’m here simply to travel and gain experience, so I have plenty of time."

Dugu Feiyan nodded, "Then stay in the North Profound Sect for a few more days. I’ll finalize a participant from my side and send them to you."

Dugu Feiyan tossed the token back to Lin Chen, "You should keep the token."

As Dugu Feiyan made things clear, Lin Chen stopped hesitating and gladly accepted the token, "Thank you, Sister Dugu!"

Dugu Feiyan chuckled, "Call me Sister Yan, it’s less of a mouthful."

"Alright then, Sister Yan."

Lin Chen originally thought that Dugu Feiyan was his Senior Brother’s ex-lover, but now he knows how close they were. Judging by the Senior Brother’s expression and tone, he must still have some feelings for Dugu Feiyan and can’t let go.

Men, after all, always feel a sense of regret and longing for the woman they loved but could not have.

Lin Chen gets it!

"Sister Yan, may I ask you something presumptuous? You said you were close to becoming lovers with my Senior Brother, but what prevented you two in the end?"

Dugu Feiyan smiled, "Are you asking on his behalf or out of your own curiosity?"

Lin Chen answered, "I’m asking out of my own curiosity. The Senior Brother didn’t tell me much. Although I’m just curious, if you find it inconvenient, let’s forget I asked."

Dugu Feiyan laughed, "Do you have a Daoist partner or a lover?"

Lin Chen replied, "I do."

Dugu Feiyan nodded, "Your Senior Brother is a good man, he’s honest and responsible, and can be trusted. However, whether two people can end up together also depends on fate..."

Dugu Feiyan provided a vague answer, but Lin Chen roughly understood.

It seems Dugu Feiyan is not indifferent towards the Senior Brother, but some external conditions interfered, which eventually led to them not being together.

Dugu Feiyan asked, "What is your cultivation level?"

Lin Chen answered, "Earth Immortal Middle Stage."

Dugu Feiyan thought for a while and said, "How about I arrange for Dugu Ying, who ranks third on the True Immortal List, to go with you?"

The expression on Lin Chen’s face changed subtly.

Dugu Feiyan asked with a puzzled look, "From that expression... are you unwilling?"

Lin Chen replied, "I’ve heard that Dugu Ying is very bloodthirsty and likes to kill women. Given my Earth Immortal strength..."

Dugu Feiyan frowned, "Bloodthirsty and likes to kill women? Who told you this?"

Lin Chen answered, "On my way here, I happened to meet Wu Bing, the Son of Duobao Dao Sect. He mentioned this casually since he and Dugu Ying had arranged a duel. But as for the truth, I am not sure."

Dugu Feiyan frowned, "The Son of Duobao Dao Sect, a person of such status, wouldn’t make reckless remarks. So Dugu Ying is really that kind of person?"

Lin Chen asked, "You’re not aware, Sister Yan?"

Dugu Feiyan shook her head, "I only know that Dugu Ying is one of the best representatives among the younger generation. As for his other deeds, I am not aware of them. I originally intended to find someone stronger to protect you, to avoid some dangers. But if it’s the case, he’s not a suitable candidate."

Lin Chen sighed a breath of relief. If Dugu Feiyan really wanted him to enter the secret Cave Mansion with Dugu Ying, Lin Chen guessed he would have to refuse.

Traveling together, in a sealed space with a stranger who greatly surpasses him in strength, while facing potentially valuable treasures inside the Cave Mansion, no one can guarantee that the stranger won’t act maliciously.

Dugu Ying ranks third on the True Immortal List, and his actual combat power is absolutely at the Golden Immortal Level. After all, he is the third-ranking True Immortal in the entire Heavenly Mystery Continent and a representative of the young generation of the North Profound Sect. It is impossible for such a person not to possess powerful magical treasures and transcendental abilities.

Although Lin Chen also has the ability to transcend realms, he doesn’t believe he can handle Dugu Ying.

Who hasn’t got some skills?

Dugu Ying’s background, his position, his surname, all of these determine that the treasures he possesses are certainly not fewer than Lin Chen’s!

Lin Chen doesn’t want to provoke such a person!
