Chapter 3130: Chapter 3150: Gratitude and Love, Not the Same

The palace lord felt an inexplicable panic in her heart, after all, she had stumbled upon a secret truth.

Lin Chen?

He truly was different from others!

Once the palace lord understood her feelings, she quickly calmed down and started analyzing the reasons for such an effect in her mind.

She was a disciple of the Great Wilderness Saint, the master of the Great Wilderness Palace, a Quasi-Saint with a revered status. In the Great Wilderness, anyone interacting with her, regardless of their inner thoughts, would inevitably adopt an attitude of reverence.

Even those gifted men, those who were recommended by others as suitors, when they faced her, their attitude was filled with enthusiasm and reverence; they dared not harbor any crossing thoughts or behaviors.

How boring!

Though the palace lord had a strong personality, she was ultimately a normal woman. Despite being a palace lord, when it came to choosing a man, her mentality was just like any normal person’s—she hoped her man would be outstanding, hoped he had great abilities, that he was an upright and honorable man, and even hoped he was more powerful than herself!

She carried the burden of the palace lord, and the responsibility on her shoulders was not light.

Didn’t she also hope to have a solid shoulder to lean on?

The master was certainly her greatest support, but could a master and a husband be the same?

Lin Chen, an outsider, brought with him a great sense of novelty for the palace lord.

Perhaps his personal strength wasn’t considered very formidable, but he could achieve what others could not. He managed to make many powerhouses listen to him, completed tasks in the Great Wilderness Palace that many Quasi-Saints could not, and even got the Star Chart Spirit to choose him as a target...

He was very capable, very charismatic!

Most importantly, he possessed a heart of equality. In the process of dealing with him, his words revealed a casualness, showing not a hint of reverence; his tone... was more like that of a friend.

Talking and discussing matters with Lin Chen felt very comfortable, very relaxed!

Today, upon learning that Lin Chen actually had so many Daoist couples, each one of them stunning, immensely talented, even including Quasi-Saints, was somewhat unexpected, and Nalan Wushuang’s words "he is worth it" said it all.

The palace lord momentarily lost herself in her thoughts.

Lin Chen, seeing the palace lord’s distracted look, raised his hand and waved it in front of her.

"Palace lord?"

Lin Chen truly didn’t think much about it. What status, what strength, what kinds of geniuses hadn’t she seen? And him, a married man, could the palace lord really take an interest in him?

Was that possible?

The palace lord suddenly came back to her senses, a hint of embarrassment flashing in her eyes as she had actually lost focus in front of him.

The palace lord instantaneously adjusted her mindset and said with a smile, "Hearing about your matters, I was reminded of some past events... Well, since you’ve confirmed that the third spot is for her, then let Bai Zhu take her back to cultivate in the Thunder Secret Realm."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Thank you!"

The palace lord smiled, "You just focus on your Closed Door Cultivation, and I hope you can successfully breakthrough. The stronger you become, the more honor it brings to my face as your direct superior."

Lin Chen nodded, "Alright!"

Nalan Wushuang stayed behind, while Lin Chen left alone.

The palace lord looked at Nalan Wushuang and suddenly smiled, "Since you’ve been by his side all this time, I assume the other few are with him too?"

Nalan Wushuang honestly replied, "Yes, besides me, there are three others."

The palace lord chuckled, "He keeps you all quite securely, doesn’t he? Aren’t there six of you, where’s the other one?"

Nalan Wushuang answered, "She went traveling; we’ve been separated for a long time now, and we don’t know where she is currently."

The palace lord curiously asked, "Lin Chen doesn’t know either? Aren’t you Daoist couples, and he just lets it be?"

Nalan Wushuang explained, "It’s not that he doesn’t care, it was her choice, and Lin Chen chose to respect it. After some incidents that followed, we had to leave the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain and couldn’t contact her, so we just left a message and moved on."

After a pause, she added, "He is very good to all of us, the kind who would risk his life for us. He prioritizes us when it comes to cultivation resources. We also hope not to hinder his cultivation progress, so we try as much as possible to find our own paths to advancement without burdening him."

"Talent-wise, he truly isn’t as good as us, but when it comes to opportunities and accomplishments, we are far behind him. It can be said, without him, each of us wouldn’t know how many times we would have died..."

The palace lord realized, "A life-saving Grace?"

Nalan Wushuang understood what the palace lord meant and shook her head, "A life-saving grace is indeed genuinely there, but it’s only part of the reason we married him. Gratitude and love are different."

"Life-saving grace made us grateful to him, made us feel good about him, but truly falling in love with him was because of him as a person, it’s much more, even some small matters that now we can hardly remember..."
