Chapter 2721: Chapter 2741: Your reaction is a bit intense!

"Good!"

Guan Xia was amused by Lin Chen’s words and seemed to let go: "I’ll join Young Master in eating meat and drinking wine."

Lin Chen nodded toward the opposite seat: "You sit across from me."

Guan Xia was startled: "Why?"

Lin Chen replied naturally: "Between two people, eating meat and drinking wine, isn’t it most convenient to sit opposite each other?"

Realizing he had a point, Guan Xia got up from beside Lin Chen and sat down across from him.

"These dishes of Immortal Wine and delicacies, can you enjoy them at will usually?"

Guan Xia answered: "Our status within the sect is limited, so naturally we cannot."

Lin Chen chuckled: "I haven’t had the chance to enjoy them either. It took some luck to get here this time. It seems we’re quite similar; so we should eat and drink well and not waste this opportunity... Right, let me confirm—having a Gathering Immortal Command that’s not given by the Gathering Immortal Envoy is just as good, right? We won’t be kicked out, will we?"

Guan Xia laughed again, saying lightly: "As long as you hold a Gathering Immortal Command, you can enter Gathering Immortal Island. All visitors are treated equally."

Lin Chen seemed to heave a sigh of relief: "That’s good. As long as the Master doesn’t mind, as for the others, let’s just pretend we don’t see them."

"Good!"

Guan Xia, too, seemed to be influenced by Lin Chen, her eyes sparkling with more laughter, picked up her chopsticks, and began to feast along with Lin Chen—of course, her table manners were far more refined compared to Lin Chen’s.

With two people eating, the amount of food on the table was clearly insufficient. Lin Chen, without any hesitation, called over the handmaid in charge of serving the food and requested more dishes and wine.

The handmaid glanced at Guan Xia, who was seated across from Lin Chen, with a somewhat surprised expression but quickly brought over fresh delicacies and Immortal Wine.

This scene once again attracted the attention of the surrounding guests.

The guests seemed to disdain Lin Chen for his apparently unsophisticated demeanor, while the handmaids, looking at Guan Xia who was eating meat and drinking wine with Lin Chen, had eyes filled with veiled envy.

The man they served had never even considered their feelings!

They were merely treated as maids to be trifled with at will.

Does the opinion of a maid matter?

"Miss Guan, since we’ve arrived, we’ve been sent here to eat and drink to our heart’s content. What’s next after filling our bellies? Doesn’t anyone from Gathering Immortal Island show up?"

Guan Xia answered: "There’s still some time until the actual Gathering of Immortals Meet. To ensure the guests eat happily, play happily, and have no psychological pressure, the Island Master will not appear. All hospitality tasks are left to us."

"There are also some places here for leisure activities, all worth visiting. If Young Master is interested, I will take you to each of them. If you have any requests, you can tell me, and I will report them to General Manager Ming Lan."

Lin Chen asked in surprise: "Ming Lan is the General Manager?"

"Yes,"

Guan Xia answered: "General Manager Ming Lan is in charge of all reception affairs; she is a person of great trust for the Island Master and holds considerable power on Gathering Immortal Island."

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "In that case, Ming Lan is also considered one of the hosts of Gathering Immortal Island. But her personally greeting guests, coming and going in a hurry, could really lead to misunderstandings that she’s just another handmaid."

Guan Xia affirmed: "At the Gathering of Immortals Meet, everything is centered around the guests. The General Manager has said that even she is merely a member of the service team."

That’s a great philosophy!

Lin Chen casually asked: "All these female immortals, are you all disciples of Gathering Immortal Island?"

Guan Xia’s chopsticks halted: "Yes, we were chosen by the Gathering Immortal Envoy, brought back here, and then grew up here, engaged in cultivation and life..."

Lin Chen looked up: "Have you never left?"

Guan Xia laughed softly: "Most of us have no kin outside; even if we did, after so many years, relatives would have long passed away. There’s nothing or no one outside that we long for. Why go out? Living here, we can cultivate peacefully..."

Lin Chen, hearing this, began to understand the origin of these thousands, or even more, female immortals.

They were brought back by the Gathering Immortal Envoy from a young age to grow up; their growth experience was probably like that of little girls in a brothel, trained from a young age in various skills, all for one purpose—to captivate men!

Though these female immortals were immortals, their strength was negligible compared to Gathering Immortal Island as a whole. They had been raised since childhood to win over cultivators with their abilities. Over time, awe, fear, and habit had shaped them into what they were now.

Lin Chen nodded approvingly, lifting his wine glass to drink. He picked up some dishes with his chopsticks and then suddenly asked out of the blue: "Have you ever thought about going out?"

Guan Xia’s pupils shrank slightly, and she answered without hesitation: "I don’t. I live quite well here; there are cultivation resources, and it’s not dangerous. Why would I leave?"

Lin Chen nodded and smiled: "That’s true. The outside world isn’t all that peaceful. It’s quite dangerous for a female immortal to wander alone."

While Lin Chen said this outwardly, he sighed inwardly.

Your reaction is a bit strong, isn’t it?

I asked about going out, and your answer was about leaving!

Perhaps you’re well aware that you don’t have the right to go out, so you subconsciously think that going out means escaping, don’t you?
