Chapter 2819: Chapter 2839: Seeing You Like This, I’m Really Angry!

"If Senior Brother Wan Yan isn’t busy, why not come in for a cup of tea before you leave? You’ve had a hard day today."

Unable to get rid of him, Gong Jianying had no choice but to invite Wan Yan Jie inside for tea.

Wan Yan Jie politely refused with his mouth, but his feet swiftly carried him inside the door.

Seeing this, Gong Jianying simply led him toward the pavilion, "The weather is cool; let’s sit in the pavilion."

Lin Chen couldn’t stay put any longer; he got up neatly from the reclining chair and took the initiative to speak, "Fairy Gong, Senior Brother Wan Yan, you chat."

Gong Jianying watched as Lin Chen turned to slip away, growing even more annoyed.

You know you don’t want to invite trouble, but do you have to leave so cleanly?

Given your strength and background, do you need to be afraid of him?

Although Gong Jianying was annoyed, she didn’t stop him. After all, she knew Lin Chen had a wife. Perhaps Lin Chen didn’t want to invite trouble and also wanted to avoid it for his wife’s sake?

Their manners weren’t wrong, so naturally Gong Jianying couldn’t be unreasonably troublesome. Although she lacked experience in the Jianghu, it didn’t mean she was willful or unreasonable.

Gong Jianying didn’t speak, but Wan Yan Jie did.

"Junior Brother Lin, don’t rush off. Let’s have tea together and chat. I was a bit negligent this morning, please forgive me."

Once Wan Yan Jie spoke, Lin Chen found it hard to leave, as the host was extending an invitation.

As a guest, could you rudely reject?

To flout the host’s hospitality on his own territory?

Lin Chen had no choice, turned around, and bowed, "I am Lin Chen from the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain. I have met Senior Brother Wan Yan."

Wan Yan Jie said with a laugh, "I heard about you from Junior Sister Gong this morning. I heard that Master Taixu thinks highly of you; you must be a rare talent indeed."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the three of them sat down in the pavilion, and Gong Jianying brought out the tea set to make tea.

Wan Yan Jie sized up Lin Chen, "Junior Brother Lin, did you come to the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain to visit friends, or are you here on official business?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Consider it passing by. I’m here to visit Master Taixu and to thank him for his help earlier. I won’t stay long; I’m heading to the Crimson Immortal Domain to meet up with my family soon."

Wan Yan Jie blinked, "Is your family in the Crimson Immortal Domain?"

"My wife."

Lin Chen once again unhesitatingly threw out the fact that he had a wife, "She went to the Crimson Immortal Domain first; I’m going there to meet her."

Hearing this, Wan Yan Jie’s expression instantly relaxed, and his tone even warmed up a bit, "You guys sure ran far."

Gong Jianying turned her head and glared at Lin Chen; she knew exactly what Lin Chen was thinking.

Lin Chen pretended not to see her gesture. I don’t want to invite trouble. Haven’t you seen how many people came looking for you in just half a day?

It’s not that I can’t handle it; it’s just unnecessary!

Let me steer clear!

With Lin Chen’s clear stance, the atmosphere warmed up, and after a lot of back-and-forth pleasantries and tea, Wan Yan Jie finally got up to leave.

Gong Jianying saw him out, then turned around and snorted, "You sure know how to escape quickly!"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "You probably don’t know that after you left this morning, so many people came looking for you. If I hadn’t made things clear, I’m afraid I would’ve been seen as an enemy by many, and they would have wanted to challenge me both openly and secretly, trying to prove they are stronger and better than me."

Lin Chen explained the morning’s events, and Gong Jianying looked rather helpless, "That’s why I don’t like social obligations. It’s really annoying, but I can’t just turn people away; I have to keep smiling and entertaining since I represent Mount Taixu, and those who can find me are somewhat connected..."

Lin Chen, without much sympathy, laughed, "No worries, you’ll get used to it with more practice. Besides, they are the ones pursuing and flattering you, not the other way around. Otherwise, you’d be even more upset."

Gong Jianying thought for a moment, "How about we go out and hide away for a few days?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Where to?"

Gong Jianying replied, "Today, Senior Brother Wan Yan took me around and shared some interesting stories. He said there’s a Refinement Contest happening nearby in Xuanbai Valley, and many people have gone to watch. Why don’t we check it out too? There’s nothing much to do here, and we can play around until the longevity banquet starts, then come back."

Lin Chen shrugged indifferently, "Up to you. I’m just here with you. You say go, we go; I don’t mind."

Gong Jianying, seeing Lin Chen agree, nodded happily, "As long as I’m not here, I won’t have to deal with social obligations. The task that my senior brother assigned me was to attend the celebration, not to socialize with these people. Mount Taixu doesn’t need anything from them, so there’s no need to entertain them."

Lin Chen gave a thumbs up, smiling, "Firm stance!"

Gong Jianying stared at Lin Chen, pouting slightly, "It’s mainly because you look so relaxed and comfortable. Compared to you, I get really annoyed, so I might as well run off..."

Lin Chen blinked, "A Refinement Contest, huh? There must be lots of Master Refiners there. Speaking of which, I do have some items that really need a Master Refiner’s touch!"
