Chapter 2728: Chapter 2748: Sycophants are Everywhere, Even Daluo Immortals Can’t Escape!

In the following period, Lin Chen lived like a happy pig, enjoying every day with good food and drink yet without a care in the world.

The guests gradually became familiar with the place, with each other, and started engaging in more activities like gathering to gamble, sparring with each other, frolicking with a bunch of handmaids—it was a carefree and comfortable life.

Lin Chen’s purpose in coming here was for the Superb Metal Attribute Cultivation Technique, and not exposing himself was the most important thing. Thus, Lin Chen chose to stay out of it.

Fortunately, many knew that Lin Chen "got the Gathering Immortal Command due to good luck" and that he was just here to freeload with no backing as a loose cultivator, so not many took the initiative to bother him.

In the Immortal Realm where survival of the fittest is the harsh reality, who would pay attention to a loser who got an invitation by luck and came just to freeload at a grand banquet attended by powerful gifted ones with strong backgrounds?

Lin Chen was very satisfied!

You all ignore me and treat me like I’m invisible, which is just perfect!

Time flew by, and the day of the Gathering of Immortals Meet arrived. On this day, a vast number of powerhouses from Gathering Immortal Island came from the North, and they set up banquet table after banquet table in the Main Hall.

"Young Master, hurry up, we’re going to be late."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "As for attending the banquet, we’re not any important people anyway. Just finding a corner to eat is fine. There’s no need to panic."

Guan Xia had already grown accustomed to Lin Chen’s words and deeds. This man truly came just to mooch food and drinks, he didn’t care about anything else.

They say men love to drink wine, eat meat, and play with pretty women, but perhaps because he was unattractive, he had never shown any intention of playing or flirting, spending his days simply asking her to accompany him for meals and drinks, looking happy.

"If we enter after everyone has arrived, we’ll become the center of attention. Young Master, you wouldn’t want everyone staring at you, right?"

Lin Chen looked at Guan Xia, surprised, "Good heavens," she had actually used this to threaten him!

It was effective!

"Go, go, go, move faster!"

Guan Xia’s lips curled into a slight smile. Hmph, you’re not unmanageable!

Following Guan Xia’s lead, Lin Chen entered the hall, where the front and central prime seats were already taken, leaving only the relatively secluded corner spots.

Lin Chen took his place at a table not far from the entrance, which still had five or six empty seats, while Guan Xia stood behind him.

Today was an important day for Gathering Immortal Island to host a grand banquet for all guests, and handmaids were certainly not allowed to sit at the tables.

A group of people entered through the entrance, with Lan Qiangwei being the most noticeable among them.

Lan Qiangwei’s eyes swept over the entire hall and made her way along the edge of the door, then she spotted Lin Chen, who was idly leaning back in his chair with his arms crossed.

Lan Qiangwei paused for a moment, changed direction, and walked towards Lin Chen, then she neatly took the seat next to him.

Lin Chen turned his head and was instantly stunned.

Big Sister, what are you doing?

There are so many empty seats, why did you choose to sit next to me?

Aren’t you just pulling those other guys over here too?

Sure enough, once Lan Qiangwei sat down, Zuo Dongxu, Gu Maduo, and other gifted powerhouses who clearly had their eyes on Lan Qiangwei promptly took their seats as well.

There was still one man standing next to Lan Qiangwei because the seats at this table were now full.

The man looked on as everyone else sat down, leaving him standing alone, feeling quite awkward. He thought about leaving but couldn’t quite let go of his reluctance.

His gaze fell on Lin Chen, who was sitting on Lan Qiangwei’s left, and his eyes lit up.

Isn’t this that guy who got lucky with the Gathering Immortal Command and has been eating and drinking all day?

After a slight hesitation, the man took a step forward and whispered with a smile, "Brother, I’m friends with these folks here and want to sit with them. Could I switch places with you?"

Lin Chen looked up and met the man’s gaze.

The man had a smile on his face, but his eyes held a thick warning and a hint of threat.

Lin Chen was speechless. Are you guys serious?

Over these days, Lan Qiangwei had been like a flower with bees and butterflies swarming towards her, yet she had not given any of them the time of day.

Despite this, they still relentlessly pursued her, continuously advancing like lovestruck fools, coming up with various reasons and schemes to approach Lan Qiangwei.

If it weren’t for the fact that Lan Qiangwei had strong abilities and a strong background, making her unapproachable, there was no telling if some of these people might already have had malicious intentions.

Lin Chen couldn’t understand it. Sure, Lan Qiangwei was beautiful, one of the Three Great Goddesses, but if you want to court her, you should at least take her attitude into account. Has she ever paid them any attention?

Sycophants are everywhere, even those as powerful as a Daluo Immortal can’t help but toadying up tirelessly!

Lin Chen was already annoyed that Lan Qiangwei had chosen to sit beside him, and with this man wanting to swap seats with him, it was exactly what he had in mind. He immediately answered with a hearty laugh, "Sure!"

Just as Lin Chen was about to get up and move away to avoid the trouble, Lan Qiangwei suddenly spoke up, "First come, first served, it’s only proper. Who has ever heard of making someone give up their seat?"
