Chapter 2288: Chapter 2308: This Girl is Fated with My Dragon Mountain_1

Sea God Island?

May 15th?

Lin Chen noted the date—if he met Yao Xuanji and the others and had time, he wouldn’t mind going to take a look.

Although it was none of his business, the combatants were all gifted individuals, and it wouldn’t hurt to join in the excitement, right?

As for cultivation?

What’s the rush?

The reason Lin Chen had settled down with everyone and established his own Cave Mansion was precisely for freedom, wasn’t it?

He could roam wherever he wished, whether it was traveling or visiting friends, or even just wandering around aimlessly. He wanted to enjoy life as he pleased.

Freedom!

Cultivation?

Is there an end to cultivation?

No!

In that case, why the hurry?

After so many years of struggle, couldn’t he enjoy life a bit?

"Once I find my friends and if I have time, I will definitely come to watch and cheer you on at the scene."

"Okay!"

Although You Hezi did not understand what had attracted Ancestral Master Floating Cloud to Lin Chen, he maintained enough friendliness and goodwill toward Lin Chen, who might become his Martial Uncle at any time.

Who knew if Lin Chen would one day have an epiphany, changing his mind?

No matter what kind of person Lin Chen was, if he became the disciple of Ancestral Master Floating Cloud, he would naturally be an important figure not to be ignored by Dragon Cloud Mountain—after all, he would inherit the mantle of Floating Cloud, the only one who had fully comprehended the Dragon Mountain Cloud Dream Tactics and the strongest combatant of Dragon Cloud Mountain.

In any case, with this connection, no matter what Lin Chen ultimately chose, he was not an enemy.

Purple Cloud did not participate in the gambling and just sat quietly beside Lin Chen, watching him chat absentmindedly with You Hezi while gambling.

"Alright, I’ve had my fill of gambling for today. This is the last hand, and I’m going all in."

"Eight million Spirit Stones, high!"

You Hezi pushed all his eight million Spirit Stone chips into the large square and then turned with a smile, "Friend Lin, it’s all or nothing for me this round. You’re free to bet as you wish."

Lin Chen glanced at the chips in front of him and said with a laugh, "Of course, I trust you."

Lin Chen pushed the approximately fourteen million chips in front of him all in, following You Hezi and betting high.

Soon, everyone had placed their bets.

"Bets are closed."

"Roll!"

"Three, five, six, high!"

Purple Cloud’s eyes brightened, and she chuckled, "We’ve won."

Lin Chen laughed, "It’s all thanks to the fellow cultivator leading the way so well. In that case, I’ll invite the cultivators from Dragon Cloud Mountain... as well as those from Wuling Mountain and Fengxue Mountain to dinner tonight. I hear the delicacies here are quite good. What do you think, You Hezi, fellow cultivator?"

You Hezi was naturally willing to form ties with Lin Chen, because he had heard Ancestral Master’s remark, "This child is fated with my Dragon Mountain." If not for that, why would You Hezi divulge so much information to someone he just met?

The information wasn’t highly confidential—anyone at that level, within those circles, could find out just by asking around. But if you weren’t part of that circle, why would they tell you?

You Hezi treated Lin Chen as one of their own, which was why he was so approachable. Otherwise, do you think a disciple of the Dragon Cloud Mountain Leader would be so easygoing, so good-natured, revealing his innermost thoughts to anyone he chats with?

"Personally, I’m fine with it. I’ll ask them and see if they’re willing, but I can’t guarantee the outcome."

Lin Chen laughed, "Naturally."

You Hezi collected his chips and did not exchange them. He extended his hand and patted Lin Chen on the shoulder, "Let’s exchange tokens. I’ll send you a message later when I have confirmation."

"Great!"

With the strength above Daluo, a Communication Stone was no match for one’s own mark. With that mark, you can locate, send messages, and so on—of course, the prerequisite is that the other person is willing to let your mark stay on them.

You Hezi and a Taoist beside him turned and left the gambling hall, while Lin Chen also received the chips owed to him.

"Twenty-eight million Spirit Stones, that’s quite a profit."

Lin Chen dumped a large pile of chips into the chip box and turned to Purple Cloud, "Would you like to have a go?"

Purple Cloud shook her head, "I’m not interested in this."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Indeed, gambling against the dealer and croupier just for winning and losing is indeed a bit dull. But we are here to experience the atmosphere, so it doesn’t really matter."

The two got up and strolled along the aisle, observing the various gambling tables.

Chen Youdong came over and, seeing the chips in Lin Chen’s box, exclaimed with surprise, "Wow, Young Brother Lin, you’ve won quite a bit."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Just followed someone’s bet, pure profit."

Chen Youdong made a face, "My luck isn’t as good as yours—I lost everything after just a few hands."

Lin Chen pushed the chip box forward, "Wanna try to recover your losses?"

Chen Youdong was momentarily surprised but then briskly refused, "Bad luck means less gambling. Actually, I just came here for a bit of fun; my addiction isn’t that big. By the way, it looked like you and that Taoist you were sitting next to were having a lively chat."

Lin Chen grunted in acknowledgment with a smile, "He’s a Taoist from Dragon Cloud Mountain, we have some connections, so we talked a bit more."

Chen Youdong’s eyes lit up—the Taoist was a member of the visiting delegation and couldn’t have a low status. Lin Chen actually had connections with him?
