Chapter 1708: Chapter 1728: Shush! I’m an Illegitimate Child!_1

"Who might you be?"

Seeing Lin Chen’s eyes light up only amused Wang Xue. It seems that her assignment might not be as challenging after all.

He is reputedly the scion of an affluent household, possibly severely controlled at home.

It isn’t too hard to gain the trust of these clueless, young lads. The real question is, what reward would Hall Master Yan provide after she was done with this kid?

Although, he does look quite handsome and charismatic. Sharing a bed with a man like him must surely be a pleasurable experience.

Wang Xue said with a slight smile, "My name is Wang Xue, a disciple of the Foreign Affairs Hall. The Hall Master mentioned that you just arrived and might have difficulties, so he told me to assist you."

Lin Chen suddenly had a realization, then excitedly leant in, "Senior Sister Wang, everything is still new to me, and I’m pretty much clueless about everything. So, this place is a faction of the Heavenly Dao Alliance! Big Brother Yan sure kept me in the dark..."

Wang Xue gently replied with a soft and soothing tone in her voice, "When you’re new, it’s inconvenient to say some things. However, now that the Hall Master has sent me here, feel free to ask me anything. Or would you like me to show you around more?"

Excitement rushed over Lin Chen’s face, "Yes, please. That would be of great help."

Lin Chen followed Wang Xue, leaving everyone else with peculiar looks in their eyes.

Someone spoke with a sour expression, "It seems he must be another young master from a rich and powerful family. Who else could it be when even the Holy Maiden of the Peach Blossom Sect was sent by Hall Master Yan for greeting? "

Someone beside them laughed and remarked, "Jealous, aren’t you? We just do not have the kind of background. If you were a Saint Child of one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, not just the Holy Maiden, even the Sect Master of the Peach Blossom Sect would personally accompany you!"

Laughter filled the place.

"Although the Peach Blossom Sect might be considered a small sect, they have significantly contributed ever since joining the alliance. They have also managed to gain the loyalty of several sects like Crane Rest Valley and the Devil Palace. Oh, right, isn’t Feng He from the Devil Palace absolutely smitten with someone from the Peach Blossom Sect?"

"Hush! We know what’s going on, but don’t say it out loud. If he were to hear us, it would lead to unnecessary trouble."

"Right, better to get involved less. Trouble comes from words!"

"Enough with the idle talk. Let’s get back to discussing the Reincarnation Scripture!"

...

"Junior Brother Chen, we’ve been talking for a while, and I still do not know where you are from."

Wang Xue’s eyes carried a hint of resentment, making someone think they had caused this beautiful woman to hold a grudge.

With a hesitant look on his face, Lin Chen spoke,"My mom doesn’t want me to tell strangers about it."

Turning away, Wang Xue melodramatically exclaimed, "So, even after we got along well for a while, I’m still considered an outsider....."

Feeling a bit awkward, Lin Chen rubbed his hands, "No, Senior Sister Wang, I didn’t mean it that way."

Wang Xue continued to ignore him, acting like a heartbroken woman.

At a lost on what to do, Lin Chen finally decided to speak, "Alright, I’ll tell you. But you must promise to keep this a secret."

Wang Xue turned to face him, her eyes shining brightly as she replied, "Sure, you can tell me. I promise not to tell anyone. It would be our little secret!"

As if gathering his resolve, Lin Chen finally confessed, "I am a disciple of the Multi-Treasure Dao Sect."

Wang Xue’s eyes sparkled even more. "One of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, Multi-Treasure Dao Sect?"

Lin Chen nodded, looking anxious as he assessed his surroundings, obviously afraid of being overheard, "Yes."

A big catch indeed!

A subtle smirk tugged at the corner of Wang Xue’s mouth, but an innocent tone coated her voice, "

The Multi-Treasure Dao Sect is indeed a formidable Great Sect. Why would a young master be afraid to disclose this information?"

Lin Chen nervously rubbed his hands together, "Ahem...my background is rather difficult to explain."

Wang Xue, now fueled by curiosity, coaxed him, "Try me. I won’t tell anyone."

In a hushed voice, Lin Chen admitted, "I’m an illegitimate child. My father is one of the influential figures in the Multi-Treasure Dao Sect. If my identity were to be exposed, it would result in severe issues... "

An illegitimate child!

It starts to make sense now!

A light shone in her eyes, Wang Xue was confident she had understood everything.

Accompanied by a Peak Golden Immortal servant, a mother who adored him endlessly, able to steal a Super Treasure of enormous power from his sect, he was obviously from the Multi-Treasure Dao Sect but dared not reveal his identity..."

It seems everything is clear now!

She exclaimed, "Wow, your father must be a big shot! You’ve made me so curious. Tell me who he is, I promise I won’t tell anyone else."

Lin Chen shook his head vehemently, "I can’t! My mom would kill me if she found out I told you. It will cause a great upheaval in the Multi-Treasure Dao Sect. I trust you, Sister, but I really can’t say it!"

Even though Lin Chen refused to reveal anymore, Wang Xue was more convinced than ever before and had even begun to conjecture on her own.

If revealing the person could stir up the Multi-Treasure Dao Sect, it was clear that this person held a lofty and revered position. It was also clear how much he cherished this illegitimate son. Admitting Lin Chen into the Heavenly Dao Alliance could possibly be an excellent opportunity to infiltrate the Multi-Treasure Dao Sect.

If she succeeded, it would be an epoch-making achievement!

Wang Xue’s approach towards Lin Chen became more and more passionate. She seemed to change her mind. If she could hook this big fish, she might find herself catapulted into fame and fortune overnight.

Did not Mu Yan’er rise up in ranks after getting along with the son of the Demon Palace Palace Master, to the extent of actually giving Wang Xue a cold shoulder?

Even though the Demon Palace Palace might have their strengths, what do they amount to when compared with the Multi-Treasure Dao Sect?

Wang Xue’s heart flamed with desire, her eyes softening even more when she looked at Lin Chen...
