Chapter 1870: Chapter 1890: Giving You a Chance to Regain Your Dignity!_1

Du Gu Si had no particular feelings of affection for Yao Xuan Ji; all he felt was an endless guilt.

However, when he suddenly heard that Yao Xuan Ji had someone she liked, he couldn’t help but feel a little shaken.

After all, Du Gu Si and Yao Xuan Ji grew up together, and it was assumed that she would become his wife if nothing went wrong.

Now, everything had changed, and it was impossible for his heart not to flutter.

Yao Xuan Ji whispered, "I don’t want to keep it a secret from you, but please don’t tell anyone else."

Du Gu Si nodded. "All right."

Lin Chen sat down on the edge of the bed. "I’ll start decoding the Reincarnation Scripture. There won’t be any harm to you. If Brother Du Gu Si can’t stop worrying, he can keep an eye on me."

Du Gu Si shook his head. "You’re a physician, Pill King, and one of us, Lin Chen. Why wouldn’t I trust you? Go on with your studying quietly. I won’t disturb you; if anything comes up, call me."

"All right!"

Du Gu Si and Yao Xuan Ji left the room and after a short walk, Du Gu Si suddenly asked, "Is he... treating you well?"

Yao Xuan Ji wasn’t immediately sure how to answer. She and Lin Chen hadn’t really shared any particularly intimate moments, or said endearing phrases to each other or kissed under the moonlit sky; most of their interaction involved matters of state.

While Yao Xuan Ji had confessed her feelings to Lin Chen, it seemed that he hadn’t provided a clear response, and neither of them had revealed their relationship to others.

The immense pressure of the Heavenly Dao Alliance left Yao Xuan Ji and Lin Chen feeling like drenched children who were frantically running. Even though they were holding hands, neither likely had the time to bask in any romantic atmosphere.

However, after all Lin Chen had done for her, going through hell and back and not asking for anything in return, could one really say that he wasn’t treating her well?

If that wasn’t the definition of good treatment, would declarations of love under romantic settings be?

Yao Xuan Ji gently nodded and said, "We actually haven’t really thought about it much. We’ve been too busy dealing with the Heavenly Dao Alliance to concern ourselves with romance."

Du Gu Si nodded, "As long as he’s good to you."

Yao Xuan Ji smiled, "He’s been very kind to me. If anyone bullies me, he’d definitely fight for me. He’s carried me while we were on the run many times. It’s funny when you think about it, given how weak he might seem, he’s the one who always manages to get me out of trouble..."

For a moment, Du Gu Si didn’t know how to respond. As her brother, he no longer had the right to interfere in her affairs.

"You should rest up. There’s still a lot to face tomorrow!"

Yao Xuan Ji nodded, "Alright, and don’t worry too much. While Uncle is severely injured, his life isn’t in danger. Lin Chen is working on a solution; he might wake up soon."

"Good!"

In the room, Lin Chen placed his hands on the back of Dugu Potian, carefully sensing the peculiar energy within him.

As dawn broke, Lin Chen opened his eyes, excitement bursting in his gaze.

There was hope!

By studying the energy formed by Dugu Potian’s Reincarnation Scripture, Lin Chen began to grasp the essence of the scripture. What once seemed incomprehensible now began to clear up.

One night of comprehension seemed more fruitful than half a month of prior efforts. Unlike before, when there was barely any progress, now there was a feeling of great achievement.

As Lin Chen walked out, he saw Du Gu Si meditating not far from the entrance.

Du Gu Si got up, a hopeful look in his eyes, yet he didn’t directly ask about the result. Instead, he thanked Lin Chen, "You’ve worked hard, Lin Chen!"

Lin Chen laughed, "Don’t mention it. For me, this is both a learning experience and cultivation—no hard work at all."

Only then did Du Gu Si ask, "Did you make any significant insights?"

Lin Chen nodded, "I did. The effect is very evident. It won’t be more than ten days, perhaps even less than five, before we see the result."

Du Gu Si’s eyes widened in surprise. "By ’result’, you mean?"

Lin Chen laughed, "Of course, I’m talking about completely dissolving the Reincarnation Scripture energy inside Senior’s body. He will wake up then."

Du Gu Si was overjoyed, "That’s wonderful news, Lin Chen. I’m counting on you!"

Lin Chen confidently agreed, "Leave it to me. But first, we should deal with the Heavenly Dao Alliance. I wonder what they’ll initiate next!"

"Alright, I’ll return to the North Profound Sect first. My father will stay here. I’m counting on you!"

Du Gu Si returned to North Profound Sect. As the Young Sect Master and a Peak Celestial Immortal, it was his duty to act as a leader while the Sect Master was unconscious.

As the sun illuminated the earth, Xuanyuan Feiying, the Master of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, reappeared in everyone’s sight.

Xuanyuan Feiying’s gaze fell on the North Profound Sect’s camp. He laughed, "North Profound Sect, you lost two men at our hands yesterday. If you are dissatisfied and wish for a rematch, I’m giving you a chance. No matter how many of you there are, you can step forward. If you bring one, so shall I. If you bring ten, so shall I. I promise I won’t outnumber you."

This statement by Xuanyuan Feiying was extremely arrogant. After all, he was challenging one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, the North Profound Sect!

Du Gu Si kept a calm face and replied, "Given your powerful strength, with the North Profound Sect not in full numbers, we concede this battle..."
