Chapter 2729: Chapter 2749: This Emotional Intelligence is Maxed Out!

Hmm?

Lin Chen’s body suddenly stiffened, he turned with surprise, looked at Lan Qiangwei, and said softly, "Fairy Lan, it’s okay, I can sit anywhere."

Lan Qiangwei spoke indifferently, "We are all guests invited by Gathering Immortal Island, regardless of where we come from, here, everyone’s status is equal."

Equal?

Equal my ass!

Do you genuinely not know, or are you pretending not to?

You yourself are a big trouble, whoever provokes you is provoking trouble, and I can’t even avoid you fast enough, who would want to sit with you!

"When we’re out, we’re all friends, making things easy for friends is making things easy for myself..."

Lin Chen casually responded, then stood up, turned to that man, and spoke, "Friend, you sit here, I’ll take the next table, it’s all the same."

The surrounding people’s gazes had already uniformly shot over, and Lin Chen insisted on giving up his seat, but that man seemed to be unable to bear it.

If I sit down now, what does that make me?

Bullying the weak?

He originally thought that Lin Chen definitely wouldn’t dare to refuse him, but he didn’t expect Lan Qiangwei to actually speak up because of this, which directly put him on the spot.

If everyone has already said this, and I still stubbornly sit down, wouldn’t that just be embarrassing for myself?

On the surface, she was upholding justice, preventing Lin Chen from being forced to switch seats, but deep down, isn’t it just that she doesn’t want to sit next to me?

"No need, no need, Fairy Lan is right, it was short-sighted of me, brother, you sit, I’ll just sit over there!"

Lin Chen grabbed the man’s arm firmly, with a determined look, "Big brother, aren’t we friends? It’s just a seat, it really doesn’t matter..."

The man’s expression changed, as if Lin Chen were a plague clinging to him, and he quickly unclasped Lin Chen’s hand, "No need, you sit, you sit!"

The man turned and walked away, doing so cleanly, as if he had made a certain decision.

Lin Chen was out of options.

He genuinely wanted to give up his seat, with Lan Qiangwei sitting next to him, this seat was burning hot.

What should have been a smooth seat exchange was disrupted by Lan Qiangwei.

Lin Chen, feeling helpless, could only retract his eager gaze from the man’s retreating figure, bowed his head, and met Lan Qiangwei’s subtly meaningful gaze.

Lan Qiangwei, don’t stir up trouble!

The story of a pretty woman going crazy and involving innocent bystanders better not play out here.

Lin Chen sat down, a look of helplessness on his face, "It’s just a seat, really, it’s nothing, helping others is the foundation of joy after all."

Lan Qiangwei’s lips curled up into a smile with a hint of amusement, "Helping others is the foundation of joy, that’s quite a principle, do you often help others?"

Lin Chen didn’t want to talk too much with Lan Qiangwei, who could blame him when there were too many Tengu lurking nearby.

"Within my ability, if I can help, I help. Helping others brings happiness to myself."

Lan Qiangwei was silent, seemingly pondering his words, and after several seconds said, "Fellow cultivator has a kind heart and a broad mind, not everyone can reach such a realm."

Hmm?

Not everyone?

Aren’t you just drawing hatred towards me?

The hatred of a sycophant comes unprovoked, once the goddess he likes praises someone or smiles at them, or makes any move, the hatred comes crashing down like a mountain, splashing uncontrollably.

Lin Chen quickly waved his hands in modesty, "Fairy Lan flatters me, I’m just an ordinary loose cultivator, I don’t deserve your praise."

Lan Qiangwei smiled faintly, "You’re a loose cultivator, would you like to join my Lihaizong sect?"

The people around were all taken aback, had this kid struck it lucky?

Lan Qiangwei was actually inviting him to join her sect?

Joining Lihaizong, one of the Twelve Immortal Gates of Myriad Immortal Hall, would be like clinging to a thick thigh; this kid’s luck was just too good.

Lin Chen was slightly startled, and before he could speak, Lan Qiangwei’s voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"I don’t like them, so I’m sitting next to you, you shielded me from some trouble. As a loose cultivator, you might not be safe from their troublemaking, but if you join Lihaizong, they wouldn’t dare bully you."

Lin Chen realized it; she feared that she might bring trouble on him, and that’s why she proposed he join Lihaizong, to protect him.

Just by agreeing, even if he hadn’t joined Lihaizong yet, others who might want to make trouble for him would have to think twice about Lan Qiangwei’s reaction.

Lan Qiangwei understands everything!

Lin Chen was still thinking about whether to just play along and appease her for now, when Lan Qiangwei smiled again and spoke, "You don’t need to reply right away, just think it over, and tell me before you leave."

"Alright, thank you, Fairy Lan, I will consider it carefully!"

Lin Chen readily agreed, while inwardly he couldn’t help but sighed at how full Lan Qiangwei’s emotional quotient was!

Seeing his slight hesitation, she proactively gave him an out, thus positioning him as a potential disciple being scouted by Lihaizong, who then would bother him over trivial matters?

Being a loose cultivator versus a soon-to-be initiated disciple of Lihaizong, could they be the same?
