Chapter 2238: Chapter 2258: Sycophants Never Die Well!_1

Qi Wuchang said with a cold face, "I and fellow cultivator have already agreed to split it half and half. Do you still want a share of the profits? Wouldn’t that mean fellow cultivator gets even less?"

Qi Wuchang’s words were clearly intended for Lin Chen; you see, I’ve already agreed to a loss by giving you half. Now these two want to cut into your share. These two really don’t know what’s good for them.

Lin Chen turned his head and stared at Zhong Shuyu and Su Yanran without speaking.

Zhong Shuyu felt inexplicably uneasy, "Qi Wuchang, don’t talk nonsense. When did I ever say I wanted to share the cultivator’s gains? I just said, I’m just accompanying and ensuring fellow cultivator’s safety."

Su Yanran also quickly made her stance clear: "Yes, I’m just worried about fellow cultivator being at a disadvantage in this Secret Realm. What if there’s an injury or something? Wouldn’t that delay True Person Tai Xu’s business? It’s not because I’m after a share of the Void Lotus Herb."

Qi Wuchang cursed inwardly, you two sycophants really know how to play!

Looking for a commendation, huh?

With you two speaking like this, doesn’t it make you seem all good, and me, all bad?

I was the one who took the initiative to request a share from Lin Chen, and with my strength, that was already doing him a favor. But now, with Zhong Shuyu and Su Yanran being so forward, I seemed stingy.

They’re offering help for free, and here I am still wanting half!

How petty!

Qi Wuchang felt cornered by the two’s words. Seeing Lin Chen smiling at them, Qi Wuchang decided: "If you say so, wouldn’t it make my Qingyuan City seem lacking in generosity? I was just worried fellow cultivator might overthink, so that’s why I mentioned splitting it half. Since it has come to this, I’ll also make a statement. My Qingyuan City will assist fellow cultivator with all our might in finding the Void Lotus Herb, seeking only to make a friend."

Lin Chen almost burst with laughter. He had not expected that bringing these three sect powerhouses together would produce such a wondrous reaction, each one trying to outdo the others in flattery. Who could lick more boots?

Lin Chen nodded slightly to Qi Wuchang as a sign of affirmation towards his attitude, and then said, "Fellow Qi, although my master treats me well, in the end, I am just a servant. I don’t mind making more friends, but I cannot, and dare not intervene in my master’s affairs..."

The three people, including Qi Wuchang, all understood Lin Chen’s subtext.

My master is powerful, but I am just a servant. I appreciate your buttering up, and am willing to reciprocate, but if you are hoping that will influence my master, don’t dream of it. I don’t have that kind of power!

Qi Wuchang said with a laugh, "Fellow cultivator, I understand. The friend I wish to make is none other than Your Excellency. How could I possibly aspire to associate with someone of True Person Tai Xu’s caliber."

Lin Chen gave a faint smile but said nothing more.

Now that you understand, don’t blame me for leading you on. It’s entirely voluntary on your part, not because I necessarily want to take advantage of you!

With that said, their relationship naturally became much warmer. Qi Wuchang then asked, "How may I address fellow cultivator?"

"Lin Chen."

Being a new arrival to the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain, Lin Chen had only registered his name once at Meditation Valley, so he didn’t even bother with a fake one.

"Friend Lin, what’s the situation in there? Can you tell us about it?"

Qi Wuchang added with a smile, "I have no ulterior motives, just curiosity."

Lin Chen replied, "There’s nothing special inside, just a Yin Yang Realm. The master forged two Yin Yang Wells, channeling Qi into springs. I have already taken all of the Yin-Yang Spring, and now there’s nothing left inside. For it to turn back into a Yin-Yang Spring, that would take a very long time."

Qi Wuchang let out an ’oh’ and exclaimed, "Friend Lin must have spent quite a bit of time in there, right?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Us servants are here to serve our masters wholeheartedly. If we do a good job, naturally, the master won’t shortchange us. No effort is too small to be recognized."

"That’s true, that’s true!"

Qi Wuchang sought Lin Chen’s opinion, "Friend Lin, you’re quite familiar with the surroundings, aren’t you? Where should we head next?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "The Magical Beasts are ferocious; I dared not venture too far. As you’ve all seen, my strength Isn’t that impressive. It’s better for you to decide."

After pondering for a moment, Qi Wuchang said, "Let’s head to the east then. Our Sect Internal Disciples found that there are a lot of natural treasures to the east, and some Void Lotus Herbs were also discovered there. Let’s go have a look."

"Alright."

The people then left the white mist valley and headed towards the eastern region. After all, they had come to this area to search for the Yin-Yang Spring, and the white mist made it too inconvenient to search.

Qi Wuchang took a glance at Lin Chen and then transmitted his voice to Qi Bingbing, "Bingbing, give it a try, see if you can build a good relationship with him."

Qi Bingbing understood in a second; there was a hope of using her female status to establish a connection with True Person Tai Xu.

Although it was just a servant, that was already the highest she could reach; could True Person Tai Xu possibly spare her a second glance?

Qi Bingbing, after all, was accustomed to keeping many backups, and her ability to entice men was indeed impressive. During the evening rest, she took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Lin Chen.

"Friend Lin is really amazing, being able to follow True Person Tai Xu. This is an opportunity many people seek but cannot obtain..."

Lin Chen glanced sideways at Qi Bingbing and chuckled inwardly, this woman plans to actively seduce me, to win me over?
