Chapter 2781: Chapter 2801: I’m Not Afraid!

Wager on destiny?

Guan Xia suddenly turned her head, her eyes, initially dim and lightless, suddenly brightened, her face filled with hope and disbelief.

Could he truly be the man of her destiny?

"I am willing! What must I do?"

Guan Xia responded loudly to Lin Chen’s question, fearful of answering too slowly.

Lin Chen replied, "I have a magical artifact that can hide a person within it, evading all reconnaissance. If you are willing, when I leave, I can hide you inside it and take you away from Gathering Immortal Island. However, afterward, you might face not only a manhunt from Gathering Immortal Island but also other tracking methods... "

"I am not afraid!"

Guan Xia answered without hesitation, "If Young Master can take me away from Gathering Immortal Island and restore my freedom, it would be a great kindness to me. Even if I were caught later, I would never betray Young Master."

Lin Chen smiled faintly, "As a Loose Cultivator, I consider the four seas my home; I’m not afraid. Since you are willing to take a gamble, let’s try it. Before I leave, you need to find an excuse to leave this place, meet me in a secluded location and ensure that no one will look for you within a certain time frame, that is, before I leave to avoid exposure."

Guan Xia answered simply, "Okay!"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Do you know what the procedure for leaving is?"

Guan Xia replied, "There are one-way Teleportation Gates on the island. Those leaving enter the Teleportation Gate and are then transported to the Northern Sea of the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain. The exit point is random."

Lin Chen asked, "Can one leave at any time?"

"Yes, for the external contractors, it is very free, after all, everyone is just in a collaboration and not affiliated with Gathering Immortal Island."

Lin Chen thought for a moment, "In that case, I will leave tomorrow noon. Think about it, where shall we meet in advance?"

Guan Xia thought for a moment, "Tomorrow morning, I’ll find an excuse to leave my residence, and then we can meet behind the Main Hall in the living area. No one goes there, so it won’t attract attention."

"Good!"

After arranging some more details, Lin Chen took his leave.

As he was leaving, Lin Chen encountered Ming Lan again.

Ming Lan once again apologized to Lin Chen, "Young Master Lin, I am truly sorry about this matter, I hope you won’t take it to heart."

Lin Chen smiled casually, "No worries, I have tried my best, so I have no regrets. Some things are manipulated by destiny, there’s nothing one can do."

Ming Lan said with a smile, "I’ll see you out."

Following Ming Lan out the door, Lin Chen turned back and said, "Thank you, Manager Ming Lan. I am planning to leave in a couple of days, saying goodbye in advance. If fate allows, we shall see each other again."

Ming Lan’s eyes showed a hint of surprise, "Are you leaving so soon?"

Lin Chen nodded, "I have achieved my purpose here, so naturally, I must leave."

Ming Lan bowed, "Then congratulations, Young Master Lin. Ming Lan wishes you great success in your future endeavors."

Upon returning to his residence, Lin Chen saw Lan Qiangwei.

Lan Qiangwei smiled and asked, "Was the negotiation successful? How many points will it cost?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "Can’t save her."

Lan Qiangwei asked in confusion, "Why can’t you save her, can it be that their price was too high? It shouldn’t be, considering she is just a Flower Maiden, and Guan Xia counts as quite ordinary among them..."

Lin Chen gave a bitter smile and explained, "It appears that Guan Xia’s status is somewhat special. I asked Ming Lan, and she even went specifically to report to the Island Master, who directly refused. Ming Lan said any other Flower Maiden would have been okay, but not Guan Xia."

"Eh, that’s really strange."

Lan Qiangwei’s eyes showed puzzlement, "If it were Ning Xiayi you wanted to redeem, their refusal might make sense, but an ordinary Flower Maiden, and still, they had to consult the Island Master, only to refuse, that’s very strange."

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, I also find it strange, but since it’s not possible, I didn’t ask why."

Lan Qiangwei consoled, "Everyone has their own destiny, you’ve done your best."

Lin Chen nodded and asked, "Did you manage to exchange your items?"

Lan Qiangwei answered, "I did, my mission here is completed, I can leave anytime now. What about you?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I’m okay. I’m a bit tired today, I’ll rest one day and leave tomorrow noon."

Lan Qiangwei hummed in acknowledgment, then expressed concern, "What about your Tail Sting, aren’t you exchanging it?"

Lin Chen frankly explained, "I don’t really have anything I want to exchange for, and besides, these kinds of surplus point exchanges for items are overpriced and not worth it. I think the materials of these tail stings are excellent, suitable for refining flying swords. I am learning the Vast Wilderness Ten Thousand Sword Art, which requires a lot of flying swords, so these tail stings are just right for making them."

Lan Qiangwei smiled sweetly, "I see, that’s good then. Since you have a good Cultivation Technique, you also need the appropriate magical artifacts to match it, otherwise, the power won’t show. This trip of yours seems to have been quite fruitful."

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "That’s all thanks to your help, otherwise it would not have gone so smoothly..."
