Chapter 169: Chapter 189: If You Want to Play, I’ll Accompany You _1

"Lin Chen, this is Chu Songfeng."

Lin Chen leaned back in his chair, his expression calm, not at all surprised. After beating up the son, the father had come. Wasn’t this very normal?

"Hmm, what’s the matter?"

Chu Songfeng’s voice was steady, "I’ve already learned about what happened with the Zhao, Tian, and Lei families. My son Tianyu acted rashly and had a conflict with you. I want to ask you, how can we resolve this matter?"

Lin Chen said indifferently with a laugh, "What do you think, Chu Family Head?"

Chu Songfeng replied calmly, "Tianyu attacked you, but you also killed Chen Huai. How about we let bygones be bygones, and you don’t hold any grudges, and we can end it here?"

Lin Chen chuckled, "Chen Huai was just a tough thug. To put it bluntly, he was just a tool, unable to represent anything. He was killed by me because he lacked strength, and deserved it. As the mastermind behind everything, shouldn’t Chu Tianyu pay the price?"

Chu Songfeng’s voice turned cold, "His arm was broken by you."

Lin Chen’s tone was equally cold, "If he had succeeded, my girlfriend would have been humiliated, and I would have been beaten to death. Do you think breaking an arm is enough?"

Chu Songfeng sneered, "I know you are a disciple of Xue Kuangren. Xue Kuangren is indeed fierce, but it doesn’t mean the Chu family fears him. I also know that you are a cultivator of Gangqi Realm, but the Chu family also has cultivators of Gangqi Realm, and not just one. If you want to play, our Chu family will accompany you."

Lin Chen countered, "Alright, let’s play."

Chu Songfeng nodded, "Good. Since we all have forces behind us, I assume no one wants their friends and family to suffer unexpected disasters. Let’s follow the rules of cultivators, shall we?"

Lin Chen readily agreed, "That’s fine, but I must remind you, Chu Jiaxue and Gu Yuexi are very close sisters."

Chu Songfeng said coldly, "Don’t worry, the Chu family will not use force against them directly, but in business matters, some competition cannot be avoided."

Lin Chen laughed, "As for business struggles, we each rely on our abilities. But if you use despicable means against them personally, well, there are many people in the Chu family. Don’t blame me for going crazy."

Chu Songfeng sneered, "I’ll be waiting for you."

Lin Chen put down his mobile phone and laughed.

Indeed, those who wore shoes were afraid of the barefoot. Chu Songfeng, as the head of the Chu family, naturally wasn’t afraid of Lin Chen, but he was afraid of Lin Chen causing trouble, especially when he knew Lin Chen’s Sect background. He was even more afraid of Lin Chen’s Master causing trouble, which his Chu family couldn’t bear.

Chu Songfeng’s phrase "having a background" had two meanings. One meant that they both knew each other’s backgrounds and had people behind them. The second meaning referred to having people they cared about. For example, most of the Chu family were ordinary people, and on Lin Chen’s side, Chu Jiaxue’s and Gu Yuexi’s families were also ordinary people. The implication was that they both had backgrounds and considerations, so no one should act recklessly.

As for the rules he mentioned for cultivators, it was simple. Grievances, disputes, or battles were limited to cultivators themselves. Cultivators couldn’t directly attack ordinary people, and if they had to deal with them, they could only use ordinary means and follow ordinary rules. Otherwise, as a cultivator, it would be too easy to erase an ordinary person from the face of the earth.

Battles between cultivators generally fell into two categories: one to determine winners and losers, with the ultimate goal being to cripple the opponent’s abilities without killing them, and the other being life-or-death battles, fighting to the death until one side was completely defeated or the battle ended.

Chu Songfeng didn’t say which rules to follow, and Lin Chen didn’t ask either. They would just see how things would unfold.

If they could restrain themselves, then they would determine victory or defeat. If someone died, they would fight to the death, without stopping until one side perished.

Lin Chen’s goal was to bring down the entire Chu family, not just to kill an individual cultivator. He also didn’t dare to directly bring up the grievances from 27 years ago. From Chen Huai’s reaction, he already knew the Chu family must be aware and possibly the culprits.

If Lin Chen mentioned this matter, his appearance and age would immediately make the Chu family think of his identity.

If the Chu family knew Lin Chen’s identity, his opponents at that moment would likely be several powerful families working together to kill him without mercy.

Because of this, Lin Chen couldn’t reveal himself. He had to have absolute advantage over the Chu family, ensuring they had no ability to fight back before he could ask the questions in his heart and pursue the truth of the matter.

Actually, Lin Chen felt relieved by the conditions Chu Songfeng proposed, as he feared the Chu family would target Chu Jiaxue or the Gu family. Of course, Chu Songfeng was also afraid of Lin Chen targeting the Chu family.

As they both had mutual apprehensions, their struggles would have certain boundaries, which was what Lin Chen hoped for. He had no intention of harming ordinary people from the Chu family in retaliation, nor did he want those around him to be targeted.

Lin Chen called Chu Jiaxue, "Chu Songfeng just called me. Our battle with the Chu family has begun."
