Chapter 2328: Chapter 2348: Xi Jie’s Story_1

Lin Chen was quite satisfied with the Dark Ancestral Dragon’s response.

Now that his strength had improved, and his interpersonal relationships had been upgraded, his influence had naturally swollen!

Had it been the Lin Chen of the past, would the Dark Ancestral Dragon have been so straightforward?

Although the Dark Ancestral Dragon used to be trapped inside the Tower, he probably considered Lin Chen as nothing more than a novice who might die at any moment; after all, Lin Chen had neither a significant background nor formidable power, which is why the Divine Spirit paid him little attention.

Even though Lin Chen had promised to help him solve his problems, the Ancestral Dragon probably didn’t completely believe that Lin Chen could actually manage it.

Nowadays, however, Lin Chen had found a solution to the Divine Spirit’s troubles and had interacted with many big shots, even earning their recognition. This signified that Lin Chen’s Immortal Path was growing ever broader.

Why did Lin Chen rush to see the Dark Ancestral Dragon as soon as he learned of his awakening from Qi? Was it not to "recruit" him?

Lin Chen was now the center of attention for numerous big shots and in possession of many tokens, both protective charms and lifesavers. But with his current strength only at the Great Luo Heavenly Origin Realm, he couldn’t possibly use the opportunities given by these big shots for every little problem he encountered, could he?

Wouldn’t that be like using a cannon to kill mosquitoes, a Waste?

Lu Yao’s body was still very weak. She might manage to act if pushed, but it would cause severe damage to her recovering body, so Lin Chen did not rely on Lu Yao’s intervention when troubles arose.

With the Dark Ancestral Dragon’s current strength at the peak of the Daluo Mysterious Immortal, he could potentially use the Void Lotus Herb to break through to the Supreme Immortal level. Even if it was just the First Realm, he could easily crush all other Mysterious Immortals.

As long as the enemy wasn’t exceptionally strong, the Dark Ancestral Dragon’s intervention should be enough to suppress the situation. If even the Dark Ancestral Dragon couldn’t handle it, then it wouldn’t be too late to use the tokens given by the big shots.

The finest steel must be used on the blade’s edge!

The Dark Ancestral Dragon may not stay with Lin Chen for much longer, but he could still solve quite a few troubles for him.

Anyway, Lin Chen still needed to visit Western Prison Netherfire City to find the God Burning Sword. Before then, he thought it reasonable to let the Dark Ancestral Dragon contribute his strength!

Leaving other things aside, he had given the Dark Ancestral Dragon the Void Lotus Herb to aid in his breakthrough!

If instead a Daluo Mysterious Immortal at his peak bottleneck was offered the Void Lotus Herb in exchange for years of protection, that individual would certainly agree, wouldn’t he?

Good water does not flow to others’ fields. Lin Chen and the Dark Ancestral Dragon ultimately had some connection; it was better to give to him than to Others. Moreover, even if the Dark Ancestral Dragon severed his Fetters and gained freedom, Lin Chen might still find opportunities for cooperation with him.

Having given the Void Lotus Herb to the Dark Ancestral Dragon, Lin Chen left the Abyss satisfied.

In the Main Hall, Xi Jie sat on the Chair, holding a Teacup, with her entire demeanor gentle and calm.

"Did he agree?"

Lin Chen laughed, "I bamboozled him so much that he was totally taken aback. The way he looks at me has changed."

As Xi Jie spoke, the teapot rose into the air, pouring Tea into a Cup, which then flew into Lin Chen’s hand.

Xi Jie took a sip of tea and smiled, "A man should be reevaluated if not seen for three days; you’ve changed so much from when you first met him."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "In front of him, I might change, but in front of you, Xi Jie, I will always be myself."

After a pause, Lin Chen looked at Xi Jie’s serene face, "Xi Jie, now that I’ve been promoted to Daluo, am I qualified to hear your story?"

Xi Jie’s hand holding the cup paused, and she looked up at Lin Chen, "Do you want to hear it?"

Lin Chen nodded, "I know I might not be strong enough to help, but knowing could allow for earlier preparation..."

Xi Jie lowered her gaze to her Teacup quietly without saying a word.

Lin Chen remained silent as well, patiently waiting.

Xi Jie must have her own story, otherwise, why would she fall to a nameless place like the Barren Wilderness, staying there for Who Knows how many Ten Thousand Years?

XI Jie once sent Yao Xuanji back to the Thunder Immortal Domain and then departed; she was gone a long time until she returned from the distant lands during the Great Wilderness Battle of the Thunder Immortal Domain, and since then, she had never left.

Lin Chen had previously inquired whether Xi Jie had resolved the matter she went to address. She just shook her head without comment.

Xi Jie chose Lin Chen, accompanying him and protecting him countless times. Without the Linglong Tower or Xi Jie, Lin Chen didn’t know how many times he would have died.

Lin Chen didn’t often speak of it, but his regard and gratitude toward Xi Jie were immense.

Xi Jie was like an elder sister, gently nurturing him as he grew, shielding Lin Chen from the storm without ever sharing her own sufferings.

Lin Chen’s strength used to be weak, and he knew anything Xi Jie would share with him would be pointless. But now that he had finally set foot in Daluo and was starting to meet some extremely powerful top dogs, Lin Chen mustered the courage to inquire.

If the trouble Xi Jie was facing could be addressed by these top-notch powerhouses, Lin Chen would abandon all opportunities to ensure Xi Jie’s issues were prioritized and resolved.

After a long silence, Xi Jie looked up again and gently smiled at Lin Chen, "Have you wanted to ask this question for a long time?"
