Chapter 2290: Chapter 2310: Got into trouble, you can use my name!_1

"Greetings, fellow cultivators. I am Lin Chen..."

In the upscale restaurant, Lin Chen introduced himself with a smile and also introduced Purple Cloud.

The Taoists who came to attend the banquet turned their gaze upon Lin Chen in unison, filled with inquiry, curiosity, and also perplexity.

Although they belonged to the forces of Dragon Cloud Mountain, Wuling Mountain, and Fengxue Mountain, Master Floating Cloud held an exceptionally special status within the entire Dragon Mountain Sect. He was from Dragon Cloud Mountain, but he was also equally revered in Wuling Mountain and Fengxue Mountain, essentially a legendary figure of the Dragon Mountain Sect.

Master Floating Cloud actively wanted to take Lin Chen as a disciple, yet Lin Chen had rejected him?

The Taoists who came to the banquet were very curious about what kind of person would have the audacity to refuse such an opportunity that others could only dream of. Thus, they agreed to Lin Chen’s invitation to the banquet.

Xuanhezi was emaciated, with a cold gaze, sparing of words and smiles, and he appeared very young, looking like a 27-28-year-old youth.

Ever since Lin Chen entered, Xuanhezi’s gaze had been intently focused on him, scrutinizing him. After a long look, his eyes revealed a hint of disappointment.

This Lin Chen seems rather ordinary.

Why would Ancestral Master Floating Cloud take a fancy to him and want to accept him as a disciple?

When You Hezi introduced Xuanhezi, he simply nodded calmly to Lin Chen without speaking, his face devoid of a smile and not showing much warmth.

Lin Chen did not care much about it. Xuanhezi was so young yet could already represent the Dragon Mountain Sect in battle, clearly an exceptional Heaven’s Chosen, a genius of the demonic caliber. Wasn’t it very normal for him to have a bit of arrogance?

Lin Chen’s invitation to the Dragon Mountain Sect people to have dinner wasn’t about fawning over anyone; it was merely a gesture of goodwill.

Master Floating Cloud wanted to take him as his disciple, and he rejected the offer. Lin Chen felt a bit embarrassed by this, so when meeting people from Dragon Cloud Mountain and proactively hosting a banquet, it was also to show an attitude, a gesture of reciprocation.

"Friend Lin, I’ve heard that Ancestral Master Floating Cloud wanted to take you as his disciple, but you refused him. Is this true?"

Lin Chen candidly replied, "Yes, I regretfully declined Senior’s kindness, mainly because I still have many matters to attend to and am not planning to join a sect for now."

"Joining Dragon Cloud Mountain and what you want to do yourself aren’t in conflict, are they? Ancestral Master Floating Cloud has never taken a disciple before, and now he actually took the initiative to propose taking you. That’s an extraordinary opportunity, yet you declined. That’s a pity."

Lin Chen just laughed, "Ancestral Master Floating Cloud said that he and I are fated to meet again in the future."

Ancestral Master Floating Cloud had said that if Lin Chen changed his mind, he could always take him as his master. This promise remained valid, but Lin Chen did not elaborate on this, lest it seem like he was showing off too much.

It was clear to see how much these people regretted Lin Chen’s refusal to become a disciple. One could imagine how envious they were of his treatment. If Lin Chen had flaunted this further, it would have seemed rather unkind.

"Friend Lin, what are you doing in the Northern Sea this time?"

Lin Chen replied, "We come from the Thunder Immortal Domain. The rest of our partners are near the Blue God Sect, and we came here to meet up with them."

All of a sudden, Xuanhezi spoke up and asked, "What is your current level of strength?"

Lin Chen hesitated for a moment, then candidly answered, "I’ve just entered the Da Luo stage."

You Hezi looked surprised, "I remember Ancestral Master said you were just at Heavenly Immortal Strength, have you made a breakthrough in such a short time?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, I have just had a breakthrough recently."

You Hezi praised, "To think you’ve made a breakthrough to Da Luo in such a short time, such talent and comprehension... no wonder Ancestral Master wanted to take you as his disciple."

Lin Chen humbly replied, "My talent and comprehension are just average; it’s really more about having good luck."

Xuanhezi had asked just one question and then maintained his silence.

Although the dishes were all high-class and delicious, the meal did not last long.

Lin Chen clearly felt that this group of people didn’t attend the banquet for the sake of having dinner, but rather they were just curious to see what someone capable of refusing Master Floating Cloud looked like. Now that their curiosity had been satisfied, they no longer had much of a desire to interact further.

At the time of departure, You Hezi reminded them, "The Blue God Sect is a power of the Sea Tribe, and the Sea Tribe has always been very dominant. You must be careful while conducting yourselves in the territory of the Sea Tribe. Also, if you run into any trouble, you can report our name, Dragon Cloud Mountain."

Lin Chen was somewhat touched; You Hezi was considering him as one of their own.

"Thank you for the reminder, fellow cultivator, we will be cautious in our conduct."

Lin Chen and Purple Cloud returned to their room, and she laughed, "I thought they would resist you quite a bit, but after the entire meal, aside from Xuanhezi’s silence, everyone else seems to have a pretty good attitude towards you."

Lin Chen said in a jesting tone, "Although I refused Master Floating Cloud, I still have the chance to become Master Floating Cloud’s disciple, and by seniority, that would make us his martial uncle."

"If they resist me, target me, wouldn’t they be afraid that I’ll just turn around and become their master, their martial uncle?"
