Chapter 2439: Chapter 2459: I rescue you from misery, will you marry me?

Lin Chen hid within the tree trunk, hearing all the conversations, and finally cleared up all the doubts in his mind.

The Gui Xu Sect Ancestor took a liking to Shang Wenyin, wanting her to become his Daoist couple?

Old bull eating tender grass!

Even the sect ancestors couldn’t resist Shang Wenyin’s charm; these three divine spirits truly lived up to their reputations!

The old man left Hongyun City with Shang Wenyin, heading towards the direction of Gui Xu Sect.

Lin Chen darted out from behind the willow tree, not hesitating to use his Carefree Walk technique to pursue them.

Having promised Shangguan Wenyin, he naturally had to try his best to accomplish it, not to mention, such a pretty woman being snatched away to marry some old man of unknown age—just thinking about it was quite irritating.

If soft tactics wouldn’t work, then the only option was to get tough.

Kidnapping!

It’s just that he didn’t know the strengths of the old man and the young one.

Lin Chen could naturally ask his master for help, but projecting himself would also consume a great amount of spiritual power; better not to stir things up unless absolutely necessary.

Lin Chen’s speed while using Carefree Walk was extraordinarily fast, and in an instant, he caught up to the old man’s flying boat.

"Fellow cultivator, wait a moment..."

The old man turned around, and his face immediately changed.

Wasn’t this kid the one who had come looking for Shang Wenyin just now?

He had just tried to capture him, but he escaped, and now he’s bold enough to follow?

Did this kid eat the guts of a leopard?

Shang Wenyin and the young man also turned around, seeing Lin Chen, they all appeared somewhat dumbfounded.

Shang Wenyin opened her eyes wide in shock, looking at Lin Chen: "What are you doing here, go back and tell Shangguan Wenyin that he doesn’t owe me any favors now."

The young man sneered, "Kid, you’ve got guts. You just ran off, and now you’re delivering yourself right to our doorstep?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "On the behalf of others, I faithfully fulfill my duties, Miss Shang, won’t you introduce me to these two gentlemen?"

Surprised by Lin Chen’s attitude, Shang Wenyin replied, "This is Uncle Zhao Gang from Gui Xu Sect, and this is his disciple, Tian Mingguang."

Lin Chen asked again, "What are their strengths? I want to see if I can beat them."

Zhao Gang sneered but didn’t prevent Shang Wenyin from answering. After all, in his view, since Lin Chen represented Shangguan Wenyin of the Sea God Sect, it was only right to give some face to avoid enmity with Shangguan Wenyin.

It would be better to let Lin Chen know when to give up and then take the person back with him.

Shang Wenyin quickly glanced at Zhao Gang and quickly answered, "Uncle Zhao is a Pinnacle Daluo Supreme Immortal, and Tian is in the Great Luo Second Realm. You should leave; I don’t need your help. This is Xinghe Island, and members of Gui Xu Sect can arrive here any second; you can’t take me away."

Lin Chen asked again, "Then let me ask another question, the most powerful person in your Gui Xu Sect should be the old ancestor we mentioned earlier, right? What is his strength?"

Zhao Gang’s expression changed slightly, and Tian Mingguang shouted in surprise, "Were you lurking nearby and overhead our conversation just now?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "You were guarding the entrance, and as a new arrival, completely in the dark, how could I not check out what was going on?"

Lin Chen’s words were tantamount to admitting that he had been right beside them, which made both men’s faces look quite bad.

The opponent had managed to hide right next to them, and yet neither of them had noticed?

Wasn’t this a slap in the face?

Shang Wenyin was also greatly surprised; although she still felt it was impossible for Lin Chen to take her away, she couldn’t help but harbor a bit of hope inside.

"The old ancestor is said to be a Superior Prime Daluo Immortal..."

Lin Chen pressed on: "Not a Quasi-Saint?"

Shang Wenyin paused for a moment before answering, "No."

Lin Chen sighed with relief and laughed, "That’s good."

Lin Chen had actually been scared by recent experiences; there couldn’t be that many Quasi-Saints in the world.

If Gui Xu Sect had a Quasi-Saint, then they should be ranked with the Myriad Immortal Hall among the Twelve Immortal Sects at the very least.

Lin Chen’s reaction, however, baffled Zhao Gang and Tian Mingguang—just who was this guy, puffing himself up so confidently? His own strength didn’t seem that impressive, yet he didn’t seem to take them seriously at all?

Was he really that audacious, thinking as long as Gui Xu Sect’s strongest wasn’t a Quasi-Saint, he had nothing to fear?

Could he really be that exaggerated?

Tian Mingguang couldn’t help but bark, "Arrogance! Don’t assume that just because you’re sent by Shangguan Wenyin, you can spout nonsense!"

Lin Chen extended his hand and waved it slightly, "No, no, no, you’ve got it wrong! Although I was commissioned by Shangguan Wenyin to escort Miss Shang, given how things have developed, it’s really not worth it just for a reward."

Lin Chen’s gaze fell on Shang Wenyin’s face, his eyes burning as he said, "Having seen Miss Shang’s true face, worthy of being called a Goddess, how could such a woman be cheaped out to that old fellow of your sect, whose age may span countless tens of thousands of years?"

Zhao Gang’s face grew cold, "Are you saying that your current actions and words do not represent Shangguan Wenyin, but rather yourself?"

Lin Chen nodded, affecting the demeanor of someone utterly captivated by Shang Wenyin’s beauty and prepared to do anything: "Yes, I intend to save Miss Shang from her plight, Miss Shang, look at me—I’m young, quite handsome, too. If I save you, will you marry me?"

Shang Wenyin was stunned for a moment, she had never expected Lin Chen to utter such words.

Was he fooling Zhao Gang and his disciple, or was he sincere, taking this opportunity to express his true thoughts?

While Shang Wenyin pondered, her mouth showed no hesitation.

"Fine, if you really can save me and help me escape Gui Xu Sect’s control, I will marry you!"
