Chapter 339: Chapter 359: Having Someone to Rely on, You Dare to Be Arrogant Again? _1

"Lin Chen!"

Standing at the door were Zhu Zhong’an and Pei Shanming, with Pei Shanming staring at Lin Chen with undisguised astonishment.

He didn’t expect Lin Chen to actually dare to attend the Southwest Conference!

Although many sects would participate in the Southwest Conference, only the three sects and four clans could really make decisions, and among them was the Shenyun Sect!

The representative of the Shenyun Sect attending the Southwest Conference this time was Elder Zhang, an Innate Grandmaster!

With her present, how could they fail to kill Lin Chen?

"You have the nerve to walk into hell when there are roads to heaven! You’ve got guts!"

Lin Chen looked at Pei Shanming’s resentful gaze and laughed lightly, "Feeling bold now that you’re back on your own territory with your sect backing you up?"

Pei Shanming’s face suddenly flushed an extra shade of red as Lin Chen’s sarcastic words hit him like a vicious slap in the face.

Zhu Chong’an couldn’t help but add, "Lin Chen, don’t be so arrogant. Even if you’re a Great Grandmaster, it doesn’t mean much here!"

Lin Chen laughed, "A Great Grandmaster doesn’t mean much? Well, big talk aside, as long as I can beat you guys, that’s all that matters."

Zhu Chongan was momentarily speechless.

Pei Shanming sneered, "Keep being arrogant. I’d like to see how long you can keep it up!"

Lin Chen smiled slightly, "What, Pei Shanming, are you counting on Elder Zhang, the Innate Grandmaster of your Shenyun Sect? I’m afraid she’s too busy saving herself to come to your aid."

Pei Shanming’s face changed, "What did you say?"

Lin Chen chuckled but didn’t say more.

Lin Chen had met Zhang Yun twice up close. Despite being an Innate Grandmaster, she needed a middle-aged woman to support her when she traveled. While her esteemed status was one reason, a bigger reason was that she was sick. Her body was severely weakened. Otherwise, as a cultivation expert, who would want to show weakness and need support while walking?

Based on this reason, even if the Shenyun Sect had Zhang Yun as an Innate Grandmaster here, Lin Chen was not afraid.

Seeing Lin Chen’s calm demeanor, Pei Shanming’s heart suddenly panicked a bit. He relied on Zhang Yun’s presence to be able to speak so boldly, but Lin Chen said she couldn’t even protect herself?

I need to see her right away!

Pei Shanming snorted, "Just you wait!"

He walked forward two steps and, upon seeing the people from the Zuo family, arrogantly snorted and strode off, with Zhu Chong’an hurrying to keep up.

Zuo Wenxuan was shocked to see Lin Chen confronting Pei Shanming head-on.

This was the Southwest Conference after all, and the Three Sects and Four Clans were all present, including the Innate Grandmaster from the Shenyun Sect. Yet Lin Chen dared to challenge the Shenyun Sect’s young master without any respect. Wasn’t that courting trouble?

He suddenly wanted to distance himself from Lin Chen.

To avoid being splattered with blood in the end.

He even regretted greeting Lin Chen earlier. By chatting with Lin Chen, he didn’t make a friend, but instead caught the attention of Pei Shanming and Zhu Chong’an. In their eyes, the relationship between Lin Chen and Zuo Yingying, and the Zuo family and Lin Chen, isn’t it on the same boat?

If Lin Chen suffers misfortune, will the Zuo family be next?

Bad luck!

Zuo Wenxuan made a quick decision. Since you want to keep your distance from us, we’ll keep our distance from you. That’s fair and rational, right?

Zuo Wenxuan took out his phone, glanced at it, and smiled, "Mr. Lin, I have a friend waiting for me. We’ll leave first and talk later."

Lin Chen smiled slightly, "Alright, Mr. Zuo, see you later."

Zuo Wenxuan’s subtle reaction did not escape Lin Chen’s eyes, but he didn’t care.

He didn’t want to involve the Zuo family in his matters with Zuo Yingying because emotions would become much more complicated and impure once wealthy families were involved.

He was helping Zuo Yingying solely because she was his woman, regardless of her family background.

Lin Chen returned to the hotel room, where Hou Jihu was packing his suitcase, filled with wild ginseng individually packaged in small boxes.

These were the gifts he had prepared for their clients.

Seeing Lin Chen, Hou Jihu asked casually while packing, "Where have you been?"

Lin Chen laughed, "Just walking around. Oh, Old Hou, I’m going to get a separate room for myself."

Hou Jihu was taken aback, "Why, aren’t you used to sharing a room?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "I just ran into a few friends, and it seems I’ll have some trouble coming my way. I don’t want to drag you down since you kindly brought me here."

Hou Jihu frowned, "Then you should leave now! What are you still doing here? Safety first, as long as you leave, they won’t chase after you..."

Lin Chen shook his head, "I’m not afraid of them, I just don’t want to get you involved."

Hou Jihu looked at Lin Chen worriedly, "The Shenyun Sect?"

Lin Chen nodded, "I was planning to avoid those women and not cause trouble, but I just ran into Pei Shanming, the young master of the Shenyun Sect. I beat him up a few days ago..."

"What the hell?"

Hou Jihu’s eyes widened in shock as he stared at Lin Chen in disbelief, "You beat up the young master of the Shenyun Sect?"
