Chapter 2525: Chapter 2545: Seeing Wei Deyuan Again, Have I Been Discovered?

"Me?"

Lin Chen’s eyes widened as he asked in surprise, "Accompany the family head to the Yuwen Family?"

Qin Cheng nodded: "Yes, since you were interested in the Hidden God White Jade Stem earlier, going there with the family head will give you the opportunity to serve him well. Don’t let the family head lose face, and he will ensure you get what you wish for."

Lin Chen hesitated and said, "The task sounds very important. Isn’t it inappropriate for me to go? After all, I’ve only been here three months, and there are many senior alchemists with considerable strength here."

Lin Chen was truly astonished. He had originally thought that by waiting quietly, he would smoothly get the Hidden God White Jade Stem, but he didn’t expect Qin Cheng to recommend him.

Qin Cheng laughed heartily: "We alchemists rely on true ability, not on age. The one with the stronger ability naturally takes on the task. Although many others can refine the pills you do, under the same conditions, your pills have a higher success rate and quality. That’s why I’m at ease sending you."

Qin Cheng paused and then smiled, hinting, "This is also an opportunity for you to showcase yourself. If this task is successfully completed, the family head will certainly value you more highly. Your status in the Wei Family will be secured."

With that said, Lin Chen found it impossible to refuse.

To refuse to contribute is one thing, but to expect me to help you demand the Hidden God White Jade Stem?

"Alright, since Manager Qin trusts me so much, I’ll give it my all and try my hardest."

Qin Cheng said with a smile, "Don’t be nervous, just refine pills as you normally do."

"Yes!"

Lin Chen cupped his hands: "Thank you, Manager Qin, for your support!"

Qin Cheng instructed: "Don’t refine any pills today. Rest well and stay spirited. Tomorrow morning, you’ll leave with the family head."

"Yes!"

Qin Cheng left feeling satisfied, and Lin Chen sat back down in his chair, closing his eyes.

Wei Mingxuan is bringing an alchemist to the Yuwen Family. What could this be for?

A contest?

The Wei Family and the Yuwen Family are close enough to be wearing the same pants, so they shouldn’t be arranging a contest, right?

I’ll follow along and take a look, considering it as helping Shangguan Wenyin gather information.

The Second Day, Lin Chen was taken by the handmaid to a spacious open ground behind the Manor, where a luxuriously immense ship was moored, bustling with many people who were busy making preparations for the voyage.

Upon seeing Lin Chen, Wei Mingxuan waved at him, signaling him to come over.

Lin Chen approached Wei Mingxuan and bowed: "I pay my respects to the family head."

Wei Mingxuan looked at Lin Chen with appreciative eyes: "Old Qin has told me about your hard work in refining pills these past few months. You really don’t need to be so diligent. You should take some time for yourself, or for cultivation..."

Lin Chen grinned: "With nothing else to do, I might as well refine more pills. It’s also a way to hone my own skills."

Wei Mingxuan nodded in satisfaction: "This time you’re accompanying me, and I will help you request the medicine you want. If I forget, remind me. Don’t be shy. Since you are helping the Wei Family, I certainly won’t let you down."

Lin Chen expressed his gratefulness: "Thank you, family head."

If Lin Chen didn’t come here with a purpose and had a completely different stance, Wei Mingxuan’s efforts to win him over would indeed make him feel grateful. Who wouldn’t like a boss who provides ample treatment and respect?

"Get on the ship first; the journey will take up quite some days."

"Yes!"

Once on board, Lin Chen was placed in a spacious private room, indicating that his treatment was by no means low.

Lin Chen stood by the window, looking ahead, but suddenly he saw several figures flying over, with Vice Sect Hierarch Wei Deyuan leading them!

Lin Chen was startled and instinctively retracted his gaze.

What is he doing here?

Accompanying Wei Deyuan were a few young men, all remarkable members of Wei Family’s younger generation.

Wei Deyuan soon landed on the massive ship, exchanging pleasantries with Wei Mingxuan.

So Wei Deyuan is coming along too?

Lin Chen felt a surge of nervousness. Would Wei Deyuan recognize him?

He went over to the mirror in the room, looked at his reflection, and let out a sigh of relief.

Although there was a vague resemblance in his features, overall he looked completely different.

Wei Deyuan might feel a bit of familiarity when seeing him, but with the backing of the Sea God Sect, Sang Daoqing, and Wei Mingxuan supporting his identity, Wei Deyuan probably wouldn’t think too much of it, right?

Who would imagine that Master Floating Cloud’s true disciple has come to the Sea God Sect to serve the Wei Family?

Nobody would believe such a story if it got out.

The mighty ship took off, and both Wei Mingxuan and Wei Deyuan who were on the deck entered the cabins. Lin Chen heaved a secret sigh of relief.

Well, after all, I’m just a guest in this house, and Wei Mingxuan surely won’t bother to introduce me to Wei Deyuan, would he?

After ten or so days of flight, the ship arrived at the vast Manor of the Yuwen Family.

The family head of the Yuwen Family, Yuwen Difei, led a group to welcome them. While they were exchanging greetings with Wei Mingxuan and Wei Deyuan, Lin Chen was asked to leave his room and blended into the group as they disembarked from the ship.

At that moment, Wei Deyuan was facing the direction of the ship, chatting away, but his glance swept over the disembarking crowd and came to rest on Lin Chen, pausing noticeably.

Feeling the lingering gaze of Wei Deyuan, Lin Chen’s heart skipped a beat...
