Chapter 1785: Chapter 1805: This Way of Inviting Girls is So Cliché! _1

Meng Hanshan handed Lin Chen over to Meng Zhan and then left.

"Stick with him, do as you’re told. It’s in your best interest. Otherwise, your life is at risk."

Lin Chen nodded obediently, lowered his head, seemingly out of a fear of direct eye contact. But in actuality, he was afraid that the other party might spot any discrepancy in his eyes. Although he appeared frightened on the surface, in reality, he wasn’t afraid at all.

"Come with me."

Meng Zhan was polite to Meng Hanshan, but he didn’t show any good disposition for Lin Chen. After a low growl, he led the way.

Lin Chen followed Meng Zhan, looking at his unprotected back, secretly pondering. If he fired a Black Dragon Wave at him, wouldn’t this guy probably vanish without a trace?

Meng Zhan led Lin Chen through the city to the base of the waterfall that fell from the Nine Heavens.

In front of the waterfall were myriad pavilions. Most of these buildings were two stories high and although not very large, each was exquisitely designed and had beautiful surroundings which were shrouded in mist that created a fairyland-like atmosphere.

"Anything the dignitary asks you, respond honestly. Do not hide anything."

Lin Chen quietly agreed, "Yes."

Meng Zhan warned, "Remember, you’re a captive now, a slave. If you talk nonsense, I’ll kill you on the spot. No one can save you here!"

"Yes."

Only after observing Lin Chen for a while did Meng Zhan guide him toward the pavilion closest to the waterfall – the most advantageous location with the most beautiful view.

At the entrance of the pavilion, two guards stopped Meng Zhan.

Meng Zhan said politely, "Miss Meng wanted to chat with someone from the Human Clan, just as we happened to capture a few humans. I’ve brought one for her."

After passing on the message, the guard replied, "You may leave the human and go."

Anger flashed in Meng Zhan’s eyes. After all, he was the son of the tribe’s chief and regarded himself as the host here. Although Meng Ke was the beloved granddaughter of the Clan Chief, was her treatment of him a bit too overbearing on his own turf?

Meng Zhan raised his voice, "Meng Zhan, requesting to see Miss Meng."

The guard frowned in annoyance, ready to berate him, but then a crisp, lazy woman’s voice came from inside the house.

"Come in."

Meng Zhan breathed a sigh of relief. If he was not even granted a private meeting, he would surely have no chance at all.

Meng Zhan collected himself and led Lin Chen into the pavilion.

The ground floor had a spacious living room. Beyond that, there was a fair-sized viewing platform directly facing the waterfall.

On the platform was a soft chair, with a beautiful young woman sitting on it, showing undisguised arrogance between her brows.

Meng Zhan bowed, "Miss Meng!"

Meng Ke’s eyes scanned Meng Zhan before shifting to Lin Chen, halting for a moment.

"What brings you to see me?"

With a smile, Meng Zhan said, "As a host, I bear responsibility in making sure Miss Meng is well taken care of during her stay. I just wanted to know if there’s anything you need, so I can arrange it."

Meng Ke calmly replied, "I appreciate your concern. I’m getting along just fine, and if I need anything, I’ll surely let you know."

Meng Ke’s indifference left Meng Zhan at a loss for words. Biting back his disappointment, he decided to be direct.

"Miss Meng, beyond our Rock Tribe lies the Dragon Valley, which is filled with beautiful scenes. If you don’t mind, I can act as a guide and take you around."

With his head down, Lin Chen listened to Meng Zhan’s words and almost burst into laughter.

This approach to inviting a girl out was so old.

Why didn’t he just say his cat could do backflips?

Lin Chen suppressed his laughter, not daring to reveal even the slightest hint of amusement. But even so, he unintentionally attracted Meng Ke’s attention. After all, even though Lin Chen was standing beside Meng Zhan, he was directly in Meng Ke’s line of sight.

Meng Ke slightly squinted her eyes and turned her gaze back to Meng Zhan, "Young Master Meng, I’m truly touched by your concern, but I’m quite lazy, and I don’t enjoy sightseeing. So, you needn’t trouble yourself."

Meng Zhan was rejected without any mercy. He could hardly hide his frustration. "No trouble at all, it would be my pleasure."

Meng Ke looked at Meng Zhan and after a brief silence, she opened her mouth, "Young Master Meng, I’ve heard some rumors, but I’m here merely seeking the Spirit Vein for cultivation. Nothing more."

A visible disappointment clouded Meng Zhan’s eyes.

Meng Ke’s words amounted to a clear rejection. In other words, she was not interested in him. She advised him not to harbor any illusions. She came here solely for cultivation, nothing else mattered.

Despite his disappointment, Meng Zhan managed to act the part of the host, "All right, Miss Meng, I understand. I won’t disturb you any longer. As for the Spirit Vein, we’re currently negotiating with the Hundred Calamities Sect. Once the negotiation is completed, I’ll notify you promptly."

Meng Ke smiled, "Thank you!"

Meng Ke’s smile was quite captivating, but Meng Zhan knew it was merely a polite gesture, having nothing to do with him.

Meng Zhan pointed to Lin Chen, "This human was recently captured by our tribe, and I brought him here..."
