Chapter 2778: Chapter 2798: Still Claiming You’re Not a Good Person?

Lin Chen returned with a rather cute Demonic Beast in tow. Although he attracted some attention from Others, no one really cared.

Taming a Demonic Beast was not a significant event.

Back in his room, Lin Chen wrote a letter to Shu Zi Feng, sealed it in the Jade Slip, and handed it over to Gu Maduo.

"Deliver this to Shu Zi Feng for me, thanks!"

Gu Maduo’s face was solemn: "Rest assured, it will be delivered. If you need my help in the future, feel free to find me at the War Hall in Myriad Immortal Hall!"

Lin Chen inquired, "How are you and Shu Zi Feng doing now?"

Gu Maduo replied, "Previously in Western Hell, the War Hall Master and many Battle Hall Disciples were assassinated. Shu Zi Feng and I were lucky enough to survive the calamity. Later on, the Myriad Immortal Hall reappointed a new War Hall Master. Since Shu Zi Feng and I are familiar with the operations of the Battle Hall, we were appointed as team leaders to assist the Hall Master in handling various affairs."

Lin Chen let out a sigh of relief and said with a laugh, "You have a boundless future ahead."

Gu Maduo’s eyes glimmered with excitement: "Our main issue is that our strength is still a bit low. Once we advance to Daluo Initial Immortal, we will certainly receive more attention."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Good, then I wish you a bright future and rapid promotion."

After leaving Gu Maduo’s residence, Lin Chen knocked on Lan Qiangwei’s room door.

"Fairy Lan, how much more do you need to complete your task points?"

Lan Qiangwei answered, "I’ve obtained quite a few Tail Stings, which can be exchanged for more than a thousand points. Together with the points I already earned, it should be enough."

Lin Chen inquired, "Is there anything else you want to exchange? I still have quite a few Tail Stings."

Lan Qiangwei shook her head: "I don’t need to exchange for anything else; I’m here just to complete my Sect’s task."

Lin Chen was silent for a few seconds but couldn’t curb his curiosity and asked, "What task is it? Can you tell me?"

Lan Qiangwei looked at Lin Chen and said with a meaningful smile, "It’s to exchange for an item and bring it back to the Clan. Someone in the Clan needs it... This is an internal matter of our Sect and has nothing to do with Outsiders."

Lin Chen looked at the smile on Lan Qiangwei’s face, feeling slightly odd inside.

Why did she emphasize that it had nothing to do with Outsiders? Could she know what I’m worried about within?

Impossible!

She couldn’t possibly know my real identity; I’ve never revealed anything.

"When do you plan to leave then?"

Lan Qiangwei answered with a pleasant smile: "I’ll leave with you. Remember, after we depart, you’ve promised to cook for me personally and treat me to wine!"

Lin Chen nodded, "Alright, then you go ahead and complete the exchange, and I’ll take care of some business."

Lan Qiangwei’s lips curled up slightly: "Guan Xia?"

Lin Chen didn’t hide it from her and nodded openly, "Yes, I feel some sympathy for her. I’m going to ask how many points it would take to buy her freedom. If it’s within my power, I’ll take her with me so she can regain her freedom."

Lan Qiangwei questioned, "They will surely ask for sky-high prices and fleece you thoroughly. Are you willing to pay that much?"

Lin Chen chuckled and calmly responded, "Let’s ask first. Points become worthless once we leave here."

Lan Qiangwei’s eyes shone brightly: "And you say you’re not a good person?"

Lin Chen couldn’t help but laugh, "Is this payback coming so quickly? Now it’s your turn to hand me a ’good person card’?"

Lan Qiangwei, with a sunny smile, answered, "I’m just speaking the truth. Go on, I’ll be awaiting your good news."

"Alright!"

After leaving, Lin Chen headed to the area where the Flower Maidens lived. Following some announcements, he met with Ming Lan.

During the Gathering of Immortals Meet, Ming Lan personally received each guest behind the great door. She also managed all the Flower Maidens, taking on the responsibility of managing them.

After instructing a Handmaid to serve Tea, Ming Lan asked with cheery eyes, "Young Master Lin, what brings you here this time?"

Lin Chen asked frankly, "I’ve heard that by paying a certain price, the Flower Maidens of Gathering Immortal Island can regain their freedom and leave at will. Is that so?"

Ming Lan’s eyes flickered differently, and her smile became even sweeter: "Indeed, there is such a rule. I wonder which Flower Maiden is so fortunate to have caught Young Master Lin’s eye?"

"Guan Xia."

Lin Chen watched Ming Lan’s eyes closely and smiled, "The Flower Maiden I selected when I first came to Gathering Immortal Island is the one. She has served me for so many days, and I’ve become quite fond of her. So, I was thinking of asking what price would need to be paid to secure her freedom and take her with me."

Ming Lan smiled, "But as far as I know, Guan Xia has not attended your bed. She has done nothing more than what a normal Handmaid would do..."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Whether she has attended my bed has nothing to do with whether I am satisfied with her, right?"

"Indeed, it has nothing to do with that."

Ming Lan still smiling, "It’s just that although they are Flower Maidens, they are also my subordinates. If someone is to take them away, I must know what their Future holds, right? Although I’m a Manager, I am also a woman. I too hope that when they leave, they can find happiness, don’t I?"

"You and I both know, among many Handmaids, Guan Xia is neither the most beautiful nor the best-tempered. Why would you insist on taking away just her? If you wish, you could completely switch to another who is more beautiful and more agreeable..."
