Chapter 1888: Chapter 1908: Brother, you’re so powerful!_1

"Do you have any plans or ideas for your future life?"

In response to Yao Xiong’s inquiry, Lin Chen replied with a rueful smile, "I don’t have any specific plans. I’m rather laissez-faire by nature. I deal with whatever comes my way, and when nothing is happening, I just live my life in peace."

"When I first retired from the military, my master arranged a marriage for me with a woman from the Wanhua Palace in God Fire Continent. I didn’t think much of it, only thinking that if she was willing, I’d simply live my life with her, for a lifetime."

"Whether it was destiny or something else, conflicts drove me forward. I tore down Human Sects along the way and eventually reached the peak of the Human World. Erm, please try not to laugh. Due to its sparse spiritual Qi, it’s impossible to cultivate in the Human World. So, reaching the peak of this Human World is equivalent to reaching the Cultivator’s Foundation Building Peak."

Yao Xiong shook his head, not showing any signs of ridicule, "Genius is not about being more powerful than someone who is in the Wildlands while you are in the Immortal Domain. It’s about everyone starting from the same point, and you, reaching a realm in the same age group where others can’t."

"I’ve never been to your Human World, but any world should have billions of people, right? You, among so many people, under the same conditions, eventually became the first. That already shows your capabilities."

Lin Chen laughed, "Later, in search of my parents and cultivating, I arrived at the Wildlands. Then, due to a certain robbery, I ended up with the Emperor’s Seal and was recognized as the Human Emperor. I often feel it’s not me driving my life, but countless events pushing me forward."

"When I came to the Immortal Domain, I just wanted to join a friendly and harmonious sect and slowly cultivate. But who knew, I ended up becoming the disciple of Su Shaoling and an enemy of the Heavenly Dao Alliance. All my way here, aside from various opportunities, has been spent battling the Heavenly Dao Alliance. Fighting on the Cloud Sky Continent, fighting on the God Fire Continent, fighting on the Heavenly Mystery Continent, all while growing along the way, and that brings me to today."

"I don’t really have any ambitions or grand goals. If I have to say a goal, I hope that my family, my loved ones, my friends, can all be safe and live happily together. That’s all."

Looking into Lin Chen’s eyes, Yao Xiong suddenly laughed, "There’s a saying that heroes are made by their times. A hero is often not born but forced by the situation. Whether you’re a hero or not, I don’t know, but what you’re talking about is more or less the idea."

Cao Hechuan, who had been listening the whole time, suddenly spoke up, "Weren’t you also forced into fighting at first? Perhaps when you first started fighting, you never imagined that you could succeed and truly become a Domain Lord."

Yao Xiong laughed heartily, "Yes, the label ’hero’ is always a post-event evaluation, never a precondition. In many cases, one only becomes a hero after action, not because one is a hero and therefore does something."

The knocking sound interrupted their conversation.

"You may come in!"

The room door opened and Gu Yuexi, looking slightly nervous, entered the room behind a guard.

Upon seeing Lin Chen, Gu Yuexi’s eyes brightened instantly. However, upon seeing Yao Xiong next to him, she quickly grew tense again.

This was the Domain Lord!

Gu Yuexi bowed, "Gu Yuexi of Divine Wood Palace, greeting Domain Lord!"

Waving Yao Xiong off, the guard left. As soon as the door closed behind them, Yao Xiong chuckled, "So, you’re Gu Yuexi. Come, sit!"

Lin Chen gave Gu Yuexi a slight smile, signalling for her to come sit by his side.

Gu Yuexi, noticing Lin Chen’s smile, immediately felt her pounding heart settle down.

Everything should be fine!

Gu Yuexi took a seat next to Lin Chen. Yao Xiong then smiled at her, "It’s been a while!"

She responded, "Fairy Xuan Ji, it’s been a while!"

Watching this scene, Yao Xiong’s gaze was somewhat complex.

As he said in the beginning, if it were ten thousand years ago, he would have kicked Lin Chen out. But now, even as his daughter warmly greeted Gu Yuexi, extending friendly intentions, his brows furrowed, and he remained silent.

Who could blame him? His daughter was, after all, the newcomer.

He could certainly use his position as Domain Lord to force Lin Chen to break up with the other women and focus on his daughter, but he knew that if he did that, Lin Chen would only choose to stay away from his daughter and his daughter would only resent him.

For his daughter, he tolerated it.

He looked at Gu Yuexi. He originally wanted to say something as the Domain Lord to help his daughter gain some advantage, but in the end, he sighed in his heart, stood up and said, "Lin Chen, I’ve brought your wife to you. You guys can talk amongst yourselves. Uncle Cao, let’s go."

Cao Hechuan cast Lin Chen a complicated look before getting up silently and following Yao Xiong to the door.

When Yao Xiong reached the door, he couldn’t help but turn back, "Lin Chen, don’t bully Xuan Ji. If you do, I’ll beat you up!"

Xuan Ji’s face instantly flushed red, while Gu Yuexi’s eyes lit up brightly on the side.

Did her hunch actually come true?

Did her brother really win over Fairy Xuan Ji?
