Chapter 2394: Chapter 2414: Shangguan Wenyin’s Entrustment

Shangguan Wenyin fell silent for a moment and then nodded silently, acknowledging Lin Chen’s statement.

Lin Chen asked with concern, "The Vice Sect Hierarch has shifted the blame to you. Will you be punished when you return?"

Shangguan Wenyin’s expression remained calm, "I don’t know. I have done my best and have a clear conscience. When I report this to the Sect Hierarch, if he also believes the fault lies with me, then I will accept the responsibility."

Lin Chen asked, "The Sect Hierarch is the Sea God, right?"

"Yes!"

Unable to suppress his curiosity, Lin Chen asked, "What kind of person is he? Do you understand him? Do you think he will be harsh with you?"

Shangguan Wenyin said with a bitter smile, "The Sect Hierarch rarely makes an appearance. Even though I am the Saint Child, I have only seen him a few times, and even during those times, I couldn’t see his true face..."

Lin Chen widened his eyes in disbelief, "Really? You’re the Saint Child of the Sea God Sect and you can’t even see the Sect Hierarch’s true face? That’s too mysterious, isn’t it?"

Shangguan Wenyin calmly stated, "The Sect Hierarch is extremely divine, receiving worship from countless followers; he exists like a divine spirit. This is quite normal."

Lin Chen casually asked, "If you don’t know his real identity, does the Vice Sect Hierarch know? Surely someone must know. Otherwise, if one day your Sect Hierarch was impersonated, you would all be unaware."

Shangguan Wenyin laughed, "The Sect Hierarch, being the Sea God, has a Cultivation Technique that is unique under the heavens, and his Phenomenon is also unique; who could impersonate him, and who would dare to?"

Lin Chen was just making a casual remark and naturally didn’t really think someone could impersonate him. Otherwise, wouldn’t that create chaos?

The Sect Hierarch of the Sea God Sect receives the power of countless believers’ wishes. In a way, he exists like a god, and his strength is likely to be overwhelmingly powerful. Although he may not be as high as a Saint, below one, there are probably few who could be his match."

"Did you want to see me for something?"

Shangguan Wenyin stopped in his tracks, "I would like to ask you for a favor."

Lin Chen was slightly taken aback, finding the phrase all too familiar.

Previously, when Ghost Young Master wanted to lure him to his death using Shangguan Wenyin’s identity, he had used the same excuse. Now, the real Shangguan Wenyin was saying the same thing.

Seeing Lin Chen’s startled reaction, Shangguan Wenyin instinctively explained, "If it’s inconvenient for you..."

Lin Chen waved his hand, saying with a laugh, "I was reminded of something else. Yesterday, someone impersonated you to deceive me into going out, using this same reason, so I was taken aback for a moment... Go on."

Shangguan Wenyin asked in surprise, "Who impersonated me?"

Lin Chen casually replied, "A disciple of Ghost True Man. I saw through it... Don’t worry about that, go on."

Shangguan Wenyin’s expression seemed conflicted, but he eventually made up his mind, "I would like you to go to a place to find someone for me, deliver a letter to her, then take her away to a safe place that only you know about, where others can’t find her."

Lin Chen looked at Shangguan Wenyin in surprise, "Isn’t that a bit much? As the Holy Son of the Sea God Sect, you shouldn’t need to ask an outsider like me for help with such a small matter, should you?"

Shangguan Wenyin responded candidly, "Deputy Sect Master Wei is keeping an eye on me. Although I am the Saint Child, I can’t be sure if those around me are loyal to me. I trust you more than them. This is a personal matter. If you don’t want to do it, just say no."

"I agree to help you."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "It doesn’t seem like a big deal. It’s just that I’m about to go out, and I might not be able to spare the time for a while..."

Shangguan Wenyin asked, "How long will you be gone?"

"A few months, should not exceed one year."

This timeframe was estimated by Lin Chen and others. With Ghost Young Master as their guide who knew the way, entering the Holy Spring Secret Realm shouldn’t take much time to find the healing holy land.

Master Floating Cloud and Xuanhe needed healing, but Lin Chen wasn’t injured. He was just going along for the trip and didn’t need to stay long in the Secret Realm.

Shangguan Wenyin nodded, "Even within three years would be fine. Are you willing to do this favor for me?"

Lin Chen promptly said, "Find the person, take her to a place others can’t find, and ensure her safety, right?"

Shangguan Wenyin nodded, "Yes. After you finish the task, you can leave a message at the Dragon Mountain Sect Camp or at a branch location. When it’s convenient for me, I’ll look for you to get the message."

Lin Chen replied efficiently, "Done. Once I’ve dealt with the business with my Master, I’ll go take care of this."

Shangguan Wenyin took out a Jade Slip and an Image Recording Stone and handed them to Lin Chen, "The information of the person I’m looking for is inside the Jade Slip. After you find her, give her the Image Recording Stone, and she will follow you."

Lin Chen accepted them, "Can I ask who this person is?"

Shangguan Wenyin said with a laugh, "Ask her directly after you find her."

Seeing Shangguan Wenyin’s evasiveness, Lin Chen didn’t press further, "I owe you a favor for borrowing the Sea Tide Pearl before..."

Shangguan Wenyin interrupted Lin Chen’s words, "Helping me with this favor will be considered repaying your debt to me."

Lin Chen frowned, "This task seems too simple to count as a favor."

Shangguan Wenyin replied, "It may be a small matter to you, but to me, it is significant. That is why I dare not use the people around me to handle this..."
