Chapter 2369: Chapter 2389: What Exactly Made You Change Your Mind?_1

Lin Chen left the camp with the three women and returned to the Moon God Sect.

Gu Yuexi looked back at the camp and laughed, "Brother, you’re so impressive. In the blink of an eye, you became a member of the Dragon Mountain Sect’s senior management, the Sect Leader’s Junior Brother, and the Master is the first powerhouse of the Dragon Mountain Sect. Who would dare to bully you after this?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "You heard what Master said. If it weren’t for the calamity, where would such treatment come from?"

Purple Cloud frowned, "But what do you think about it yourself?"

Lin Chen sighed, "I originally planned to wander freely without any constraints, but each of you is working hard for this family. If I were too lazy, wouldn’t I be letting you down?"

"Besides, if I didn’t agree to become a disciple, who knows what might happen in the future. By joining the Dragon Mountain Sect, I’m one of our own. If I don’t join, then I’m an outsider. If the true calamity arrives and sacrificing an outsider is required to protect the sect, such a choice is one that anyone would make."

"Since I can’t avoid it, I might as well join early, quickly improve my strength, and worry about the future later. If I can help, I will; if not, I will flee. Anyway, I’m very afraid of death; I’m sure I can run faster than anyone."

Lin Chen was speaking the honest truth. On one hand, he was also stimulated by Nalan Wushuang and Purple Cloud’s decisions, and on the other hand, Master Floating Cloud would not let him off just because he refused, given that the matter involved the safety of the Dragon Mountain Sect.

If you can’t beat them, join them.

At least for now, the treatment seems very generous. As for the future, I’ll deal with it when it comes. If the calamity does come, I’ll just do my best. And if it’s a matter of life and death, then so be it, I’ll escape.

After all, my journey so far has been one escape after another; one more time won’t make much difference.

Nalan Wushuang said with a laugh, "The Senior even made an oath to the Heavenly Dao; naturally, it wouldn’t be false. For now, it’s ultimately a good thing, isn’t it? Didn’t you see those Dragon Mountain Sect disciples are almost dying of envy?"

The four sped across the sky, quickly crossing Moon City and finally entering the Moon God Sect.

Outside Moon City, the disciple of Ghost True Man, Shang Linsheng, squinted his eyes as he watched the figures of Lin Chen and the others.

He had been here for several days and, after a bit of inquiry, learned that Lin Chen and company were staying at the Moon God Sect. After all, many people witnessed it when Yan Rufei invited Lin Chen and company into the city.

Naturally, Shang Linsheng did not have the guts to kill people inside the Moon God Sect, so he waited patiently, like an experienced hunter with ample patience.

He needed to wait for an opportunity.

Looking at the current situation, there probably won’t be any chances until the conflict between the Three Sects is resolved, as there are people everywhere. Besides, with a few Daluo Immortals among them, killing them silently and tracelessly would be impossible.

Once the conflict ends and people disperse, Lin Chen and the others will have to leave eventually. That will be his opportunity.

As long as they are far from Moon God Island, he can act without restraint and easily take care of them.

For now, he just waits.

At the Moon God Sect, Lin Chen knocked on the door to the residence where Shangguan Wenyin was staying.

Shangguan Wenyin opened the door with a gentle smile on his face, "Friend Lin, do you need something?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes."

"Come in and talk."

Shangguan Wenyin led Lin Chen inside and sat down with a smile, "We’ve been neighbors for quite a few days now. If there’s anything, just speak up. No need to be courteous."

Lin Chen nodded, "I’ve taken a master."

Shangguan Wenyin was surprised for a moment, his eyes revealing astonishment, "When did that happen?"

"Just now."

Lin Chen responded candidly, "I was originally going to see Senior Liuyun at the Three Sects, but I did not expect to meet Senior Floating Cloud again. He talked with me about many things, and in the end, I changed my mind and became his disciple on the spot."

Shangguan Wenyin laughed heartily, "That’s a good thing. Master Floating Cloud is the first powerhouse of the Dragon Mountain Sect. He will likely represent the sect in the battle as well. To become his disciple is something others couldn’t obtain even if they begged for it."

"I’m a bit curious, you were originally unwilling to take a master, so what made you change your mind? What did he talk to you about? Knowing you, it must not be some promise of how he would cultivate you. If it were for these reasons, you would have accepted the first time."

Lin Chen who felt a bit different about Shangguan Wenyin replied after pondering for two seconds, "Indeed, it was not about any treatment or promises but other matters... I came to you because of the Sea Tide Pearl."

Shangguan Wenyin burst into hearty laughter, "Because you’re now a disciple of Master Floating Cloud and have joined the Dragon Mountain Sect, you’re worried that I might overthink it, concerned that lending the Sea Tide Pearl was part of a conspiracy?"

Lin Chen spoke calmly, "My master said that because of the Sea Tide Pearl, you can choose not to fight, modify the competition format, or even possibly withdraw the First-Generation Disciples from the battle..."

"There’s no need to change it."

Shangguan Wenyin said with a smile, "Don’t worry, I will use the Sea Tide Pearl because I am the Saint Child, not because of the Sea Tide Pearl have I become the Saint Child. Even without the Sea Tide Pearl, my combat power won’t decrease. As for the Sea Tide Pearl, just act as if it never happened..."
