Chapter 2815: Chapter 2835: He Wants Me to Be His Daughter-in-Law?

Void Sect.

As soon as Lin Chen and Gong Jianying arrived and annouced their identities, they immediately received a warm reception.

Although Wan Yan Bo, due to his innate talent and opportunity, had ultimately not taken that final step to become a Quasi-Saint, the two were old friends who had known each other for a long time.

Now that True Person Tai Xu’s name was renowned throughout the Immortal Realm, becoming one of the top powerhouses, this friendship had not dissipated as a result.

Gong Jianying was the cherished little disciple of True Person Tai Xu. Representing Mount Taixu and True Person Tai Xu herself, she naturally was the most honored guest.

"Is Uncle Wan Yan free now? I’d like to see him," she said.

Before long, Gong Jianying was brought to Wan Yan Bo’s residence to meet him.

Wan Yan Bo’s decision to meet Gong Jianying in his private residence clearly showed he didn’t consider her an outsider, a gesture of their close relationship.

Wan Yan Bo appeared to be a middle-aged man in his forties, tall and rugged in build, who greeted Gong Jianying with a hearty laugh, "My dear niece, it’s been a long time since we last met."

Gong Jianying bowed respectfully and said, "Uncle Wan Yan, my master is currently exploring a rather special place and cannot come in person to attend your longevity banquet, so I am here on behalf of my master and Mount Taixu to wish you longevity and health, and may you ascend to even greater heights soon."

Wan Yan Bo laughed and said, "Good, you are thoughtful. Your master is one who cannot sit still, his footprints are all over the world. It’s normal for him not to be here. I’m very happy that you could come."

Gong Jianying handed over a Spatial Ring, "This is the longevity gift we prepared. Please accept it, Uncle."

Wan Yan Bo readily accepted the gift, exchanging pleasantries, and then added, "There’s still some time before the birthday celebration. Settle in comfortably, and there are quite a few interesting places around here. I will have my boy take you around."

Gong Jianying declined politely, "With the longevity banquet approaching, there are many things to attend to. There’s no need to arrange for someone to accompany me on purpose. With Void Sect being so large, I’d be better off just walking around and strolling when I have nothing else to do."

Without waiting for Wan Yan Bo to respond, Gong Jianying spoke up, "We came to Void Sect early because something has happened in the Red River Mountains that we fear might be related to Void Sect, so we came in advance to report it..."

"What happened? Tell me," Wan Yan Bo inquired.

Gong Jianying replied, "This is Lin Chen, a rising star my master greatly admires. He visited Mount Taixu to inquire about the tracks of a Demonic Beast. According to the ancient books, there were traces of it in the Red River Mountains."

"Considering Uncle’s longevity banquet was some time away, I accompanied him to the Red River Mountains first. However, he encountered some inexplicable events there..."

Gong Jianying gestured for Lin Chen to explain, and Lin Chen, without hiding anything, recounted his experience of entering the Misty World within the Red River Mountains.

Initially, Wan Yan Bo was smiling, clearly not expecting it to be anything serious. But after hearing Lin Chen’s account, Wan Yan Bo’s expression turned gravely serious.

After asking Lin Chen a few more details, Wan Yan Bo said gravely, "Although I don’t know their origins, the Red River Mountains are within Void Sect’s sphere of influence. The fact that they’ve built a Sacrificial Altar and are planning a transfer there does indeed raise the possibility that it’s targeted at Void Sect."

"I will immediately send someone to the Red River Mountains to investigate. No matter who they are targeting, they clearly harbored malintent. We of Hanging Mountain will take this matter seriously."

"You destroyed their Sacrificial Altar, causing heavy death and injury among their people. This also stops their plans. Regardless, you have helped Hanging Mountain."

"Once I have a clear understanding of the situation, I will inform you and express my gratitude. For now, make yourselves at home—you need not concern yourselves with this matter any further."

Lin Chen agreed readily, "All right."

After more polite conversation, Gong Jianying took the initiative to bid farewell. She wasn’t sure what to talk about with an elder, and from the several mentions of his son named Wan Yan Jie, she sensed that Wan Yan Bo had some ideas in mind.

Gong Jianying and Lin Chen were taken to the guest residential area and were settled in a standalone small building, a treatment reserved for distinguished guests.

No sooner had they settled in than someone came to visit at the entrance—it was Wan Yan Jie.

Gong Jianying frowned, "Didn’t I already decline?"

Lin Chen laughed, "From his conversation earlier, what I gathered was basically, ’I have a son about your age, a young and promising hero, a suitable match for you...’"

Gong Jianying’s eyes widened, "You mean, he actually wants me to become his daughter-in-law?"

Lin Chen laughed again, "He and True Person are old friends. His son with True Person’s favored little disciple... If they come together, doesn’t that make the relationship even closer?"
