Chapter 2969: Chapter 2989: This person... is unfathomable!

Kong Wenlong and the others turned their heads in unison, their gazes simultaneously falling on Sun Yixiao, their eyes filled with shock.

"Saint of Thieves!"

"That’s the Saint of Thieves, Sun Yixiao. Just now on the battlefield, I heard him reporting his name while he was hunting and killing members of the Demon Race..."

Once everyone had confirmed Sun Yixiao’s identity, their eyes subconsciously shifted towards Lin Chen.

Lin Chen actually knows the Saint of Thieves?

Seeing Lin Chen’s embarrassed expression, as if he wanted to cover his face, it seemed they were quite familiar?

Although he verbally addressed him as Senior, there was not a hint of the sort of respectful reverence you’d expect towards a Quasi-Saint; instead, he was very casual.

Kong Wenlong suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart, glad he had come to his senses quickly; otherwise, if something had really happened, he feared he would have been doomed.

This Lin Chen was not some background-less nobody but someone who had connections with a Quasi-Saint and even the protection of a Hall Master!

Who would dare to bully him?

Luckily, luckily!

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lin Chen also felt somewhat embarrassed, but seeing Sun Yixiao’s undisguised warm tone, joy welled up in his heart from reuniting after such a long separation, and he said with a laugh, "It’s been decades; I had to make some progress, right? Otherwise, going onto the battlefield would’ve just been asking for death."

Sun Yixiao laughed heartily, "What’s your current strength?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "Middle-Grade Great Luo Celestial Immortal."

Sun Yixiao’s eyes suddenly widened, he cried out in astonishment, "You’ve advanced too quickly, haven’t you? The last time I saw you, you had just newly ascended to Da Luo. How many years have passed, and you’ve become a Middle-Grade Great Luo Celestial Immortal?"

Lin Chen chuckled, "I had some good luck, came across some opportunities, earned some merits here, gained some rewards from the Hall Master, so it was a bit quicker."

Sun Yixiao curiously asked, "Rewards from the Hall Master? What did he reward you with, and why?"

"Heavenly Immortal Lotus Seed."

Lin Chen said frankly, "I was on an errand in the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain, encountered the Demon Race, and luckily disrupted their big teleportation plan..."

"You’re that lucky kid!"

Sun Yixiao’s expression turned odd, "I knew about this, but I never imagined the lucky kid was you. What were you doing running off to the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain?"

Lin Chen naturally couldn’t say he was dealing with Taoist Duan Tian’s affairs and had to respond, "I was visiting a Senior who had helped me."

Sun Yixiao asked curiously, "Who?"

Not wanting to expose True Person Tai Xu, Lin Chen diverted the topic, "Senior, why don’t you come over to my place and sit for a while, and we can talk slowly?"

Sun Yixiao came back to his senses, muttered tactlessly, "All secretive and evasive, let’s go!"

After Lin Chen and Sun Yixiao left, a large group of onlookers seemed to be petrified.

Sun Yixiao’s manner towards Lin Chen was not at all like that of a Senior towards a junior generation. It was more like two friends reuniting after a long time apart.

How did Lin Chen manage to interact with a Quasi-Saint on such an equal footing?

Each Quasi-Saint is a leader in their own right, a Top Stream of the Immortal Realm. Naturally, they have high standards, and how could an ordinary person catch their eye?

Forget interacting on equal terms, it’s not easy for others even to get a glance from them. After all, ordinary immortals are like ants in their eyes. Would you carefully observe a single ant in a swarm on the roadside?

If you would, then that one must be different from the rest!

They had just mentioned Lin Chen’s trip to the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain. Lin Chen said he was visiting a Senior, and it seemed he didn’t want to disclose it openly or let our group overhear it.

Maybe this person is also a significant and formidable Big Shot, right?

Otherwise, why not just say it outright, especially when it’s a Quasi-Saint who is asking?

This Lin Chen’s background is profound and incomprehensible!

Everyone exchanged glances, seeing that thoughtful look in each other’s eyes.

Originally thinking Lin Chen was just a lucky, insignificant nobody who had accomplished a feat by chance, now it seemed Lin Chen was in fact a major pillar to hold onto!

He might not be very formidable now, but his methods and his backing are formidable indeed!

Gao Ming and Chen Chong exchanged glances, both feeling a bit relieved.

They had spoken ill of Lin Chen quite a bit, and both of them now shared a sentiment similar to Kong Wenlong’s at this moment.

Luckily, luckily!

...

In the tent, Lin Chen casually cast the Sound-isolation Technique, then invited Sun Yixiao to sit.

Sun Yixiao slumped into the chair, grumbling, "All secretive and hidden, what’s there you can’t speak of?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I just didn’t want to cause trouble for others by letting words slip out; besides, I’m not the kind of person who bullies others with his status. There’s no need for that. You see, I’m so familiar with my Seniors, but I never go around boasting about it."

Sun Yixiao snorted, "Even if you did talk about it, it wouldn’t be of much use. If you get into trouble, I might not necessarily help you."

Lin Chen chuckled, "Why would I need Senior to step in for me? Just saying I’m an age-defying friend and a friend of the Saint of Thieves, who would dare to bully me then? They would have to think long and hard, right? After all, nobody wants to provoke Senior, am I right?"

Lin Chen flattered Sun Yixiao, who nodded his head in approval, then quickly regained his composure and glared, "They’re all afraid of attracting the attention of a thief, aren’t they?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Indeed, thieves are fearsome, but saints are even more terrifying. How many Quasi-Saints are there in The World?"

Sun Yixiao’s mood softened, "You sure know how to talk, kid. Now tell me, who did you visit?"

Lin Chen smiled slightly, "True Person Tai Xu."

Sun Yixiao’s smile froze suddenly, he sat up a little straighter, "You know True Person Tai Xu?"
