Chapter 340: Chapter 360: Your Choice Isn’t Wise Enough _1

"Yes."

Lin Chen laughed calmly: "So generally speaking, I will have some conflicts with Shenyun Sect, and I don’t want to get you involved."

Hou Jihu stared at Lin Chen in disbelief: "Younger brother, which sect are you from?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "I didn’t lie to you. I really have no sect, no school, and only one Master, who I don’t know where he’s gone."

Hou Jihu blinked his eyes: "What’s your strength?"

"Great Grandmaster."

Hou Jihu fell into the chair with a thud, staring at Lin Chen in a daze: "You are a Great Grandmaster?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yeah, otherwise I would have run away long ago."

Hou Jihu was dumbfounded: "How old are you? Are you not just looking young, but actually in your seventies or eighties?"

Lin Chen laughed: "I’m twenty-seven."

Hou Jihu gasped: "A twenty-seven-year-old Great Grandmaster! You’re defying the heavens!"

After the exclamation, Hou Jihu couldn’t help but worry: "But doesn’t the Shenyun Sect have an Innate Grandmaster? Elder Zhang is here, too."

Lin Chen grinned: "Elder Zhang is ill and can barely walk. What can she do to me? Besides, I’m justified in this matter. If they dare to make a move, I don’t mind spreading the word to make them lose face. Under the watchful eyes of so many people, I don’t think anyone would dare to forcefully deal with me."

Hou Jihu made a decision in an instant: "They all know that you came with me, so there’s no point in moving out now. Just stay at ease."

Lin Chen asked with a laugh: "Aren’t you afraid of the Shenyun Sect causing you trouble?"

"Afraid? Of course, I’m afraid."

Hou Jihu answered honestly, and then said boldly: "But being afraid doesn’t mean I can’t take the opportunity to get to know a twenty-seven-year-old Great Grandmaster and live under the same roof, a situation I could never have imagined before. This is a chance given to me by heaven, and if I back down, I would be too much of a coward."

Without hesitation, Hou Jihu took the gamble.

A twenty-seven-year-old Great Grandmaster!

The future is unlimited!

Shenyun Sect might not really dare to do anything to Lin Chen, but if he misses this opportunity to make friends, he will regret it for his whole life!

Hou Jihu spoke truthfully and directly, so Lin Chen didn’t say anything more: "Well, then I won’t move."

Shenyun Sect knows that Hou Jihu and Lin Chen met by chance and as long as Hou Jihu doesn’t take an active position as their enemy, they would most likely not make things difficult for him.

Lin Chen glanced at his watch: "It’s almost time for dinner. Shall we eat together?"

Hou Jihu gritted his teeth: "Let’s go! We’ll have a drink!"

The two went to the hotel restaurant, ordered a few dishes and a bottle of wine. As they were about to start eating, Xu Lanshan, Xu Bin, and Xu Meiling entered.

"Lin Chen!"

Xu Meiling spotted Lin Chen, her eyes lighting up, and she walked over: "You’re here too! You didn’t mention it before."

Lin Chen laughed: "I decided to come over and have a look."

Xu Meiling blinked: "Shall we eat together?"

Lin Chen’s gaze swept over Xu Lanshan: "I’m sure you all know that I beat Shenyun Sect’s Pei Shanming. Just now, I ran into him and Zhu Chong’an, and he told me to wait for him. I guess he’s looking for trouble. You’d better stay away from me to avoid the Shenyun Sect and the Zhu Family venting their anger on you."

Xu Lanshan hesitated for a moment, his eyes unconsciously flashing with uncertainty, but in less than a second, he smiled and sat down opposite Lin Chen: "Although the Xu Family doesn’t even have a Great Grandmaster, we can’t just turn our backs on friends when they’re in trouble."

Xu Bin and Xu Meiling also took their seats, their eyes slightly eager and nervous.

They were all smart people and they naturally understood the meaning behind Xu Lanshan taking the lead in sitting down.

Lin Chen had previously allied with Xu Lengwei, Wei San Jia, and Leng Yu Cheng to wipe out the Chu Family. They were considered amicable allies and their relationship with Lin Chen was in its honeymoon phase. But if Xu Lanshan chose to remain neutral today, their relationship with Lin Chen would naturally come to an end as well.

It wouldn’t be a complete falling out, but the relationship would be just that.

Take, for example, the Zuo Family, who was currently hiding far away from Lin Chen.

Lin Chen’s eyes were filled with more laughter, and no matter what their motives were, being able to sit down at a time like this represented a lot of meaning.

"President Xu, your decision this time is not very wise."

Xu Lanshan answered frankly: "The Xu Family couldn’t produce a Great Grandmaster of our own; we’ve had a falling out with the Zhu Family. We have to find a way out, right? Faced with the Shenyun Sect, the Xu Family may not be able to help much, but at least we can choose to take the beating together."

Lin Chen laughed.

This was Xu Lanshan’s gamble.

The Xu Family chose to stand with Lin Chen, betting that Lin Chen would not be defeated by the Shenyun Sect.

If Lin Chen lost and the Xu Family suffered as a result, they would have lost their bet. But if Lin Chen didn’t lose and even became an Innate Grandmaster in the future, this friendship would be enough for Lin Chen to protect the Xu Family.

"Alright, let’s get beaten together."

Xu Lanshan suddenly laughed: "I think it’s better to inform Leng Yu Cheng and Wei Qing Gang about the beatings in advance, so they don’t complain about us not being considerate enough, and say that we didn’t notify them about it..."
