Chapter 2054: Chapter 2074: My loved ones hurt me, My enemies comfort me!_1

"Back to Linglong Tower first!"

Lin Chen was cautious and led Nangong Night to return to Linglong Tower at the earliest opportunity.

Only God knows whether Hua Tianjun could locate him through that conch, so caution was paramount.

Nangong Night’s complexion was like ash, seeming as if he had lost his soul.

Lin Chen, sitting cross-legged opposite Nangong Night, gently comforted him, "Although the result is not what you expected, it’s a good thing to know the truth and have a clear attitude. It will free your heart from unnecessary ties and allow you to focus on cultivation. One day, when you become a Daluo Mysterious Immortal, more potent than him and all of those in the Heavenly One Sect, then you can regain your pride and avenge today’s humiliation."

Nangong Night looked up and saw the sincerity on Lin Chen’s face, without any hint of malicious pleasure. He couldn’t help but mock himself, "The person who hurt me is the one I had most been expecting and the one I value the most while the one who comforts me is my enemy. I truly am a joke."

Looking at Nangong Night right in front of him, Lin Chen found it rather hard to connect this person with the handsome and exuberant man he once knew.

This guy was powerful indeed, but now he seemed pitifully weak and vulnerable, arousing sympathy in others.

If it weren’t for the safety of the living creatures in the Thunderbolt Immortal Domain at stake, Lin Chen would have even let him go.

He truly was too pitiful.

Lin Chen didn’t know what Nangong Night’s mother had told him, but he could see that although Night had some resentment towards his father for never showing up as he grew up, he still held him in high esteem and yearned for his approval.

This might be a normal thought for every illegitimate child. Unfortunately, his dream was shattered today, along with his heart.

Lin Chen comforted him, "If he doesn’t acknowledge you, then so be it. You still have the Three-Saint Sect. This is where you belong, where your mother and your sect are..."

Lin Chen’s words suddenly stopped, as they sounded a little awkward to him.

This felt so odd.

Changing his tone, Lin Chen continued, "You saw what happened today. If your Primordial Spirit were destroyed, it would be much harder to seek revenge. Let’s come up with a way to convince the Three-Saint Sect, what do you think?"

Nangong Night looked up at Lin Chen, his gaze somewhat strange.

Not only did Lin Chen find it strange and awkward, but Nangong Night also had the same feeling.

A kidnapper was patiently reasoning with the hostage, urging him to help him get what he wanted?

"I would also like to help, but the decision is not mine to make."

Lin Chen laughed, "Think about it. Let them care about you. As long as we can do that, we can achieve our goal."

After considering Lin Chen’s words, Nangong Night replied, "At most, during the negotiation, I can help advocate for you. As for whether they will listen or not, I can’t make that decision or guarantee."

Lin Chen nodded and said, "That works. It’s only good for you if it’s good for me. It’s truly good only if it’s good for all."

Nangong Night looked at Lin Chen with a strange expression, "The way you said it..."

"Weird?"

Lin Chen laughed, "I also feel that our relationship is... peculiar, but there’s nothing we can do now. For our common goal, let’s figure out a way together and give our best."

Nangong Night fell silent.

Lin Chen stood up and said, "Since we can’t count on the Heavenly One Sect, let’s go to the Three-Saint Sect. Just wait a bit, we’ll be there soon!"

When Lin Chen returned to the main hall on the hilltop, Ziyun Zunzhe, Shu Zi Feng and Qi were sitting cross-legged. Their eyes landed on Lin Chen all at once, their gazes linked with strange curiosity.

Lin Chen could guess why they were looking at him, so he sat down helplessly and said, "Despite being an enemy, seeing him in such a state, it’s only normal that I offered some consolation. What if he became desperate and decided that he would rather die than help us? Wouldn’t that be a problem?"

Ziyun Zunzhe nodded and said, "Indeed, he is quite miserable. Unless you have seen his grandeur in person, it’s impossible to imagine that this is the same person."

Shu Zi Feng gently asked, "Master, what are we going to do?"

Lin Chen sighed, "What else can we do? We will go to the Three-Saint Sect and negotiate. Hua Tianjun is heartless indeed. Is it because he is innately so, or has cultivation made this originally normal man unreasonably ruthless?"

Qi responded, "In Hua Tianjun’s case, I think the former is more plausible. If his daughter Hua Fei Ru had been the one captured by us today, I doubt he would have taken the same attitude. This proves that his indifference is not absolute."

Pondering it, Lin Chen agreed. This explanation made sense indeed.

"Forget it, don’t talk about him anymore. Let’s go to the Three-Saint Sect next and resume negotiations."

Shu Zi Feng asked, "What if the Three-Saint Sect is also unwilling to negotiate?"

Lin Chen laughed, "We’ll see their attitude. If they are determined to wage war on the Thunderbolt Immortal Domain, then we will fight. I’ve had numerous experiences with weaker forces defeating stronger ones. I’m very familiar with the situation, so it shouldn’t be a big problem."

Ziyun Zunzhe laughed, "So does this mean we will have to stay here for a long time?"

Lin Chen laughed, "It’s okay. Even though we decided to go to the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain, we have not planned to join any sect. This place is also in a high-ranked Immortal Realm, Our cultivation won’t be hindered here. When the fights are over, and we have a result, we can leave, can’t we?"

Qi smiled, "You seem to be quite optimistic and confident."

Lin Chen laughed, "Isn’t my confidence based on you, Sister Qi?"
