Chapter 2738: Chapter 2758: Going All Out, Gambling with Fate

A resplendent diamond necklace bloomed around Guan Xia’s neck.

Guan Xia looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes sparkling with delight, "It’s beautiful, Young Master. This must be very valuable, right?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Over at our place, it might be worth a house, I suppose. In reality, it’s just some stones, nothing particularly valuable. It’s just that they look nice, and their price was hyped up."

"If compared to the Immortal Realm, it probably wouldn’t even be worth two Spirit Stones, so it’s not considered valuable. Think of it as a keepsake."

Guan Xia extended her hand and gently stroked the necklace, "Thank you, Young Master. I really like it."

"As long as you like it," he replied.

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "You’ve been a great help these days."

Guan Xia pursed her lips and lowered her head, "If you need a handmaid in the future and don’t mind my plain looks, you can find me. I will serve you well."

Lin Chen readily agreed, "Alright, if I need the care of a handmaid, I will definitely look for you."

After a pause, Lin Chen stood up and said with a laugh, "It’s getting late. Rest early."

Guan Xia watched Lin Chen’s retreating figure, her fists gently clenched, her desire to speak fading as the bright light in her eyes gradually dimmed, eventually turning into a silent sigh.

The Second Day, the people left by Wuxin were sent away en masse, and those who remained began to sign contracts one by one.

The contract was a blood oath. Although Lin Chen used a false name, it didn’t hinder the signing of the blood oath because the contract binds your bloodline, your very person. It doesn’t matter if you’re called Zhang San or Li Si.

After carefully confirming the content of the contract, Lin Chen signed the contract with Gathering Immortal Island.

Lin Chen roughly estimated that this Gathering of Immortals Meet left at least four hundred people behind.

Once everyone’s contracts were completed, some people organized the group and left this place akin to Fairyland, heading toward the North.

All the handmaids were left behind.

Over a thousand handmaids watched several hundred people depart, having somewhat the sentiment of sending warriors off to battle.

Guan Xia stood in an inconspicuous corner, looking from afar as Lin Chen mingled into the group and then watched as he left, with the light in her bright eyes gradually fading.

Amidst the fluttering fragrant breeze, Ming Lan appeared beside Guan Xia and gazed into the distance at the departing team.

"It looks like you’ve fallen for him?"

Without turning, Guan Xia calmly answered, "He is a gentleman with a kind heart."

Ming Lan turned her face slightly and chuckled softly, "I underestimated him before. I didn’t expect someone so young to have already reached the Carp Dragon Realm, and he’s certainly no less than those scions of wealthy families."

"With such strength, he’s so cautious and modest, without any hint of arrogance, and even when ridiculed, he can just laugh it off. Not to mention anything else, that temperament of his is not something common people can match."

Guan Xia hummed softly in agreement, "Indeed."

Ming Lan folded her arms and laughed lightly, "He has signed a contract for 50,000 points. If he wants to earn these 50,000 points, he’ll have to stay for at least a few hundred years, or even thousands. No matter what you’re thinking, you’ll have plenty of time."

Guan Xia was silent for a few seconds before replying softly, "Whatever I’m thinking isn’t important at all. Whether making friends or anything else, I’d rather do it as I am now and not as Ning Xiayi."

Ming Lan naturally understood the meaning in Ming Lan’s words and slightly furrowed her brow, "I am a woman too; I understand you. But that’s how fate is. Try to be more accepting. Some things are better left said only in front of me."

Guan Xia’s eyes betrayed a touch of sadness, "It doesn’t matter. I’m really tired of living like a caged canary. Sometimes I think death might not be so scary after all."

Ming Lan softly said, "As long as you’re alive, there’s a chance, whether it’s a thousand years, ten thousand years, or 100,000 years. As long as your heart doesn’t die, there will always be an opportunity. Besides, with your exceptional talent, once you reach the pinnacle of strength, who could stop you then?"

Guan Xia turned around and looked at the radiant Ming Lan, filled with gratitude, "Elder Sister Ming Lan, thank you. If it weren’t for your care and putting up with my willfulness all this time, I might not have made it."

Ming Lan’s eyes were sparkling, "Then can you tell me, you could have chosen not to participate in the Gathering of Immortals Meet and serve, yet you insisted on coming, and even came in this state?"

Guan Xia blinked, "Just bored. I wanted to see the true colors of these men..."

Ming Lan huffed coldly, "Never mind then, you’re trying to fool a ghost."

Guan Xia hurriedly pleaded, "Elder Sister, don’t be angry. It was just a whim..."

Ming Lan gave Guan Xia a stern look, "Even though you look like this, weren’t you afraid that the other party would coldly demand your service nonetheless?"

Guan Xia whispered, "I’m not a naïve girl, if I have to serve, so be it; it’s not like I haven’t done it before..."

Ming Lan jabbed Guan Xia, "Don’t talk like you’re giving up. You’ve only seen a few men; it’s not your place to say such things."

"Once, twice, or a hundred times, there’s not much difference originally..."

Guan Xia, after saying this and seeing Ming Lan’s look, dared not speak further and finally closed her mouth.

"You just be stubborn then, I can’t be bothered with you!"

After speaking, Ming Lan walked away. Guan Xia watched Ming Lan’s departing figure, her gaze filled with veiled gratitude.

Elder Sister Ming Lan, it’s not that I want to keep secrets from you, but this matter is truly unspeakable.

Who dares claim destiny will certainly come true?

I’m just a broken can throwing caution to the wind, staking everything on one gamble...
