Chapter 2544: Chapter 2564: Wish you both achieve fruition soon

Shangguan Wenyin had nothing to say, his eyes sweeping back and forth across the two faces with a look of suspicion.

"You two..."

Lin Chen interrupted Shangguan Wenyin’s words, "Don’t guess wildly. It’s not what you think."

Shangguan Wenyin’s face lit up with a smile, "I haven’t even said anything yet. What are you getting worked up about? What are you arguing against?"

"Er..."

Lin Chen touched his nose and shamelessly said, "Anyway, you can’t spit anything good out of that dog mouth of yours."

Shangguan Wenyin laughed heartily and turned to look at Shang Wenyin, "Miss Shang, you don’t have to worry about being sensed anymore, right?"

Shang Wenyao nodded, "Mhm."

Shangguan Wenyin said with a laugh, "Congratulations on regaining your freedom. What are your plans from now on?"

Shang Wenyao glanced at Lin Chen, whose complexion was slightly unnatural, and replied with a light smile and a natural tone, "He’s going to the Western Hell, and I’m accompanying him."

Shangguan Wenyin’s look suddenly became more delicate, and he looked at Lin Chen with a smile, "That’s good, very good~"

Shangguan Wenyin’s voice trailed off, the implication was clear without him saying it, and Lin Chen helplessly defended, "Like you, she has broken through the Carp Dragon Realm. Now she’s a Top-Grade Da Luo Supreme Immortal, and she’s worried about my lower strength, so she’s accompanying me to protect me..."

Lin Chen had no choice but to explain, considering he and Shang Wenyin truly had nothing between them.

If there were truly something between them, he would have been nonchalant about it; it’s precisely because there was nothing that he felt the need to explain.

"You’ve broken through?"

Shangguan Wenyin smiled, "Congratulations, congratulations, that’s very good~"

Lin Chen was speechless, thinking to himself that this guy is a Saint Child, exercising the power of a Sect Hierarch and yet speaks like this. How can you have no shame?

That evening, Shangguan Wenyin hosted a banquet for Lin Chen and Shang Wenyao. This time it was official and aboveboard, not secretive at all.

The number one expert of Dragon Mountain Sect, Master Floating Cloud’s only True Inheritance Disciple, Lin Chen, was visiting, personally received by the Saint Child!

The reception, aside from Shangguan Wenyin, included Li Yunruo whom Lin Chen had met once before.

Facing Lin Chen’s teasing gaze, Shangguan Wenyin candidly said, "Yunruo and I have become Daoist couple, united in life and death."

Lin Chen quickly raised his wine glass to congratulate them. Shangguan Wenyin and Li Yunruo both raised their glasses, and Li Yunruo spoke earnestly, "Previously, I entrusted Fellow Cultivator Lin with a task in the Kutuo Sea, and I still owe you a favor. If there’s anything you need in the future, please don’t hesitate to ask."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I said it before, I will look to Shangguan for that favor, Miss Li need not worry about it. Besides, now that you and your husband are as one, it’s all the same."

Shangguan Wenyin interjected, "That’s right, if there’s anything we can help with in the future, just say the word."

"All right!"

The three drank merrily. Li Yunruo raised her glass and said with a light laugh, "This one, I wish the two of you will attain enlightenment soon and grow old together."

Lin Chen was caught off guard by Li Yunruo’s toast and was about to clarify, but Shang Wenyao raised her glass with a smile and said, "Thank you!"

Shang Wenyin drained her glass in one gulp, her face flushed with a hint of red, adding a few more touches of beauty that made it even harder for others to look directly at her.

She... she drank?

Shangguan Wenyin and Li Yunruo’s gazes fell on Lin Chen’s face simultaneously, especially Shangguan Wenyin’s, which was filled with subtle undertones.

Kid, you’re still putting on an act with me, huh?

Even Shang Wenyin has admitted it, and you’re still hiding it?

Lin Chen was wordless and simply chugged his drink.

Let’s drink then!

Since Shang Wenyao has drunk, if he kept being hesitant, wouldn’t that make him seem unforthright?

It’s just a glass of wine, so let’s drink it.

As long as she has no problems, that’s all that matters.

The night passed without further conversation.

The next day, Lin Chen bid farewell to Shangguan Wenyin. After all, Shangguan Wenyin was genuinely busy, and Lin Chen admittedly had nothing to do by staying.

Having achieved the purpose of his visit, he could now leave.

Shangguan Wenyin personally escorted the two outside the Sect, returning the Qiqiao Hall to Lin Chen.

"Thanks."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "It was nothing, don’t mention it."

Shangguan Wenyin said with a laugh, "When you return from the Western Region, come visit again, don’t forget."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Why, are you inviting me to dinner?"

Shangguan Wenyin explained, "This time, during the great battle, half of the Sea God Sect headquarters was destroyed, including the Wish Power Pool you wanted to visit. Otherwise, with my current authority, I could have granted you special permission to cultivate in the Wish Power Pool."

"Everything here needs rebuilding, including the Wish Power Pool. By the time you return from the Western Hell, I believe everything here should have returned to normal, and then you can come and spend some time cultivating in the Wish Power Pool as a token of the Sea God Sect’s gratitude."

"This is not a personal favor I’m repaying, but rather a reward from the Sea God Sect for your assistance."

Lin Chen laughed heartily and readily agreed, "Alright, once I return from the Western Hell, I will definitely come. To miss out on such a good thing would be foolish!"

Shangguan Wenyin smiled and clasped his hands, "Have a safe journey!"

"See you later."

Lin Chen and Shang Wenyao soared into the sky and soon vanished beyond the horizon.

Just as Shangguan Wenyin returned to the Sect, two figures rose into the sky nearby.

"This kid’s involved in the rebellion and is on the same side as the Saint Child. If we report this to the Sect Hierarch, we could be credited with a great accomplishment. I’ll keep a safe distance following them; you go report the news."

"Right, that kid is Master Floating Cloud’s disciple and is on excellent terms with the Saint Child. If we capture him, it will be a significant achievement..."
