Chapter 2688: Chapter 2708: I’m fine with anything, just let them bring it on!

"Yes, after hearing that unlucky ghost’s story, the genuine ego has already been scared into grabbing a bucket and running. I stayed to gather information, watch the show, or perhaps to court death."

Lin Chen asked with a relaxed expression, "What is Sect Master Qi’s stance?"

Lü Wenjing’s expression became momentarily awkward and hesitant, as if he found it difficult to broach the subject.

Seeing his expression, Lin Chen guessed the answer and said with a laugh, "Is the Sect Master planning to hand me over to the Barbarian Tribe to appease the Barbarian King’s wrath?"

Lü Wenjing explained, "The Sect Master knows that you possess the avatar ability, but he will pretend to be unaware of it now, pretending to hand you over, while he has already quietly tipped me to alert your true self to leave first. Just leave an avatar to satisfy them. If asked again, he will claim he doesn’t know what’s going on either."

Lü Wenjing’s eyes filled with regret, "I know that even if it’s an avatar, it cannot hurt the genuine ego, but to do so is still lacking responsibility..."

Lin Chen laughed heartily, raised his hand to stop Lü Wenjing from continuing, and said lightheartedly, "I have no kinship with your sect. Everything I have done is merely to make sure Kong Ling is qualified to learn the Sand Dragon Illusory Divine Art. As long as you can ensure that, I don’t care about the rest."

Lü Wenjing responded without hesitation, "The merits you’ve established here are significant, regardless of how the Barbarian Tribe wants to seek justice for the Barbarian King’s grandson, but the outcome of the Blood Slaughter Formation is already decided, and that is something no one can change. So after this incident, Junior Brother Kong will be able to learn the Sand Dragon Illusory Divine Art."

Lin Chen nodded in satisfaction, "That’s fine then. Tell Sect Master Qi that anything is fine by me; I don’t care."

Lü Wenjing looked straight at Lin Chen, and suddenly, with deep respect, he bowed deeply, "Friend Lin, your magnanimity is unparalleled. This affair means the Illusory Serpent Sect owes you a favor. Should there be an opportunity in the future, we will definitely repay it!"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Daoist Lü, there’s no need for such courtesy. At first, when I saw you with a cold face, so aloof and arrogant, I had a rather negative opinion of you, but over these days, Daoist Lü has shown responsibility, action, and a calm demeanor. You are a most capable Saint Child, and it turns out I was the one who was too one-sided in my judgment."

Lü Wenjing didn’t expect Lin Chen to respond like this, and his mood unexpectedly brightened for a moment, as if being recognized by Lin Chen was a matter of pride.

Is it because he is a disciple from the Battle Hall of Myriad Immortal Hall?

Lü Wenjing asked himself and then rejected the idea.

The reason for the jubilation at Lin Chen’s recognition was the subjective belief that Lin Chen is an extraordinary person.

Being recognized in both strength and character by an outstanding and excellent person is a normal instinctive reaction of happiness, isn’t it?

"Thank you!"

Lü Wenjing sincerely gave his thanks and glanced at Kong Ling, "Speaking of which, this matter was originally my suggestion. If anyone should take responsibility, it should be me who is most in need of doing so, but the Sect Master will definitely not agree..."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "You don’t need to say more. I’ve said it before, I understand, I can handle it, even if the Barbarian King seeks to hunt me down because of it, it’s a mere trifle to me. I only have one request: don’t implicate Kong Ling!"

Lü Wenjing said without hesitation, "He won’t be implicated. Even if someone must take responsibility, it should be me. He was essentially not involved in this matter."

Lin Chen nodded contentedly, "Alright then."

Lü Wenjing cast a glance at the calm-faced Kong Ling, his emotions complex.

What kind of friendship is needed to go to such lengths for another?

Kong Ling noticed Lü Wenjing’s subtle glance and secretly laughed. Perhaps Lü Wenjing’s mind was already filled with too many assumptions, but alas, he would never guess the truth.

Is Lin Chen concerned about me? What he cares about is my body!

"I’ll go out to check again. Kong Ling, come with me, don’t stay with Friend Lin. Friend Lin, please prepare yourself."

"Alright."

After the two left, Lin Chen sat down calmly on the chair and quietly waited.

Not long after, Lin Chen suddenly opened his eyes, a cold smile appearing on his face.

Several immensely powerful divine senses swept over him, and at the same time, the space surrounding the camp underwent a subtle change, as if it were slowly freezing.

It seems that these people have come to an agreement.

I’ve been sold out by the Illusory Serpent Sect.

Lin Chen felt no resentment, since the sect had already given him a heads-up to run away, leaving an avatar to satisfy them. They had done all they could, after all, that was the Barbarian King’s grandchild!

A Quasi-Saint!

Is that something anyone can afford to provoke?

In the entire Southern Wilderness, the Southern Desolate Barbarian King is naturally invincible!

Although the demon race and the Barbarian Tribe had conflicts, that was under the premise that the Barbarian King did not get involved. If the Barbarian King took action, who could withstand it?

Now that the Barbarian King’s grandson is dead, they want an explanation, who dares to refuse?

Lin Chen awaited the arrival of the outsiders with an easygoing mood, letting his thoughts wander aimlessly.

Just the mention of the Barbarian King was enough to intimidate the winning demon race, which complied with all the rules of the Blood Slaughter Formation, into giving an explanation. Does that mean the mighty demon race really has no Quasi-Saints at all?
