Chapter 2359: Chapter 2379: it’s unfair for you to bear all this alone!_1

Lin Chen frowned and turned his head to look at Nalan Wushuang, "Nalan, about this matter, I..."

Before Lin Chen finished speaking, Nalan Wushuang gave a slight smile, "If I join the Sea God Sect and obtain a high position, along with enough cultivation resources and guidance, with the unique characteristic of my Innate Dao Body having no bottlenecks, I am absolutely going to prosper."

"The Sea God Sect is everywhere in the Northern Sea, even if I join them, I believe I’ll still have time to come home often."

Shangguan Xuanyin’s eyes lit up, he had casually mentioned the idea without much seriousness, yet to his surprise, Nalan Wushuang eagerly engaged in the conversation.

He didn’t understand what Master Floating Cloud saw in Lin Chen, he would rather believe that Master Floating Cloud’s fondness for Lin Chen was not due to his character or personality, as in his opinion, the Innate Dao Body of Nalan Wushuang definitely had a much more promising future than Lin Chen.

"If fellow cultivator Nalan is truly willing to join, our sect will certainly provide you with a satisfactory position and treatment, definitely enabling you to significantly enhance your strength in a short period of time, even surpassing me."

"Rest assured, although I am the Saint Child, it’s only because others are not suitable, it doesn’t mean I enjoy being the Saint Child. If one day you surpass me and replace me as the Saint Maiden of the Sea God Sect, I will only be happy, because then I would have fewer things on my plate and could do more of what I like."

Shangguan Xuanyin’s words highlighted the Sea God Sect’s appreciation of Nalan Wushuang, as well as outlining the bright future she could have upon joining, even hinting at the possibility of replacing him, and he made it clear that he wouldn’t mind, in fact, he would welcome it.

Lin Chen glanced at Nalan Wushuang, and without discussing the matter with her then and there, looked at Shangguan Xuanyin, "Thank you for the invitation, Saint Child. My wife and I still need to discuss this matter. Consider it a favor we owe to the Saint Child. If you truly fall from grace because of the Sea Tide Pearl, regardless of whether we join the Sea God Sect, we will certainly give you an explanation."

Shangguan Xuanyin said with a smile, "Friend Lin, you are too courteous. Lending the Sea Tide Pearl was entirely voluntary on my part, and since I didn’t cut off or prevent you in the middle of the process, that is a result of my willing choice. You owe me no favor. As for my invitation to join the Sea God Sect, that is purely because I see both of you as exceptionally talented and believe that with your joining, you would surely become pillars of our sect. This has nothing to do with the matter of the Sea Tide Pearl, and there is no need to conflate the two."

With that said, the matter came to a conclusion.

Shangguan Xuanyin reiterated that they owed him no favor, but Lin Chen still felt indebted, and what followed was a matter of how each person conducts themselves in the world.

If Shangguan Xuanyin was being truthful, then regardless of victory or defeat, he wouldn’t dwell on today’s affairs. After all, as he mentioned, he had the ability to end this incident, but he didn’t. Moreover, Nalan Wushuang hadn’t intended to absorb the spiritual power of the Sea Tide Pearl, so she couldn’t be blamed.

Lin Chen always acted according to his conscience.

If he felt he owed a favor, then he would find a way to repay it.

Although some favors are bigger than others and favors are the hardest debts to repay, as long as one is alive and keeps it in mind, there’s always a chance to return the favor.

There’s no need to commit oneself for the sake of a favor. Once you truly join the Sea God Sect, and they invest a great amount of resources in your cultivation, if you want to leave, it would be virtually impossible.

Of course, Nalan Wushuang wasn’t wrong either. With her talent of the Innate Dao Body, if she joined the Sea God Sect and immediately assumed a high position, allowing her to cultivate with resolve, then her realm would definitely skyrocket.

This matter is simply a balance between gains and sacrifices.

Shangguan Xuanyin gracefully took his leave, Lin Chen escorted him to the entrance, and after closing the room door, he returned back inside.

Nalan Wushuang said with a wry smile, "I’ve caused trouble for everyone."

Now that everyone is one family, they share fortunes and misfortunes together, which is why Nalan Wushuang said so.

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "What trouble? It’s not easy to advance through a Phenomenon, and although there is a price to pay, isn’t that normal? Even in cultivation, one needs to obtain a lot of resources. After all, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world."

Nalan Wushuang, not waiting for Lin Chen to bring up the matter of joining the sect, spoke up proactively, "If he truly falls because of the Sea Tide Pearl, I’ll join the Sea God Sect and settle this favor."

Lin Chen furrowed his brow, "The Sea God Sect is powerful, and joining them certainly has great benefits, but it’s easy to get in and hard to get out."

Nalan Wushuang said with a smile, "If my strength isn’t enough to be free within the Sea God Sect, then freedom is just a joke. But if I am strong enough, then I will have the freedom I desire."

"Now that Dajia has settled in the Northern Sea, even though the island has many defenses, we still need to journey outside. If I join the Sea God Sect, on the one hand, I can rapidly enhance my strength, and on the other hand, I can provide protection for everyone on this piece of Northern Sea territory."

Lin Chen stared into Nalan Wushuang’s eyes, "Do you really want to go?"

Nalan Wushuang earnestly said, "Even if it’s not joining the Sea God Sect, I also want to find another path. The resources needed for so many people’s cultivation, when added together, are an extremely terrifying number, and the demand will only grow in the future. Relying solely on you, Brother Chen, isn’t fair..."
