Chapter 364: Chapter 384: Want to Pull Me into Your Group? _1

"It’s all thanks to your reputation, I originally contacted Ma Qinghe, who we usually deal with in our business, but the head of the Ma family, Ma Wencai, found out and insisted on meeting you in person."

Walking side by side, Hou Jihu said to Lin Chen with a smile, "You have no sect, no school, but you are a Grandmaster at twenty-seven. Your future is limitless, and many people have their eyes on you now."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Even though I have a master, the sects and families can’t expect me to join them, can they?"

Hou Jihu replied, "Having a master and joining a sect are not contradictory. If a talented person is willing to join, they will immediately gain a high position. Since you are a Grandmaster, if you are willing to join, you will be at least an Elder, enjoying a meteoric rise in status within the sect."

Lin Chen laughed, "I’m used to being free and easygoing, I don’t want to join any sect. Even if I were an Elder, there would still be a Sect Master or an Innate Grandmaster above me, and I’d be under their command. That’s boring."

Hou Jihu laughed, "That’s true. Even with a high position in a sect, you will be restricted by the sect’s rules, and it’s definitely not as good as being free on your own."

As the two casually chatted, they entered the private room of the restaurant.

There were already two people sitting in the room, a sixty-year-old man - Ma Family’s head Ma Wencai, and a forty-year-old man - Ma Qinghe. Seeing the two entering, they both stood up.

"Mr. Lin, hello, I’m Ma Wencai. Today, I was deeply impressed by your heroic actions and greatly admire your spirit. When I heard about this from Qinghe, I couldn’t help but come to meet you and make friends."

Lin Chen shook hands with Ma Wencai with a smile, "Mr. Ma, you’re too kind."

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone sat down. Ma Wencai took a paper bag from the side and handed it to Lin Chen, "Today, I saw Mr. Lin vomiting blood, and I’m sure you sustained some internal injuries. I brought some medicine for Mr. Lin as a gift. Please accept it."

Lin Chen tried to decline with a smile, "Mr. Ma, there’s no need for gifts - after all, I didn’t do anything for you. Old Hou has already given me a Regulating Yuan Pill, and I’m mostly recovered."

However, Ma Wencai was insistent, "Regulating Yuan Pill is good for treating internal injuries, but internal injuries also need proper care. Otherwise, they can cause hidden dangers. There are three Guiyuan Pills in here, which are more effective than Regulating Yuan Pills. Additionally, there are some Jiqi Pills for supplementing cultivation."

"I came to see Mr. Lin because there’s something I need to ask for. If you don’t even accept my little gift, I won’t be able to make my request."

Seeing Ma Wencai’s sincerity, Lin Chen couldn’t refuse any further, so he accepted the gift. "Thank you, Mr. Ma. What can I help you with?"

Ma Wencai laughed, "Let’s have dinner first and fill our stomachs. We can talk about it later."

After a round of toasting and feasting, the alcohol made the atmosphere more relaxed and lively.

"How’s the situation with Zhang Yun from Shen Yun Sect?"

Lin Chen casually replied, "She’s temporarily fine now."

Ma Wencai grinned, "Zhang Yun has a proud personality, and as a woman, she can be somewhat narrow-minded. Since you made her kneel down in front of everyone, she must have lost face, and she might seek revenge on you..."

Lin Chen simply smiled without elaborating, "Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Ma. I’ll be careful."

Ma Wencai laughed, "Zhang Yun bullied Mr. Lin because you don’t have a strong background. If you had the backing of a powerful sect, even if Zhang Yun is an Innate Grandmaster, she would have to think twice before attacking you."

Raising an eyebrow, Lin Chen sensed Ma Wencai’s intentions. Did he really want to recruit him?

Lin Chen laughed, "Mr. Ma, are you suggesting...?"

Ma Wencai eagerly invited, "To be frank, yes, I really do have this intention. I hope to invite Mr. Lin to join our Ma family. With your strength and superb medical skills, our Ma family will definitely not treat you poorly."

Without waiting for Lin Chen to reply, Ma Wencai continued to talk about the benefits of joining, "If Mr. Lin is willing to join our Ma family, you will be a consultant Elder in the family, with a position second only to the few Elder Taishang, on equal footing with me, the family head."

"Our Ma family is skilled in refining all kinds of elixirs for cultivation, and if Mr. Lin joins us, we will supply you with the necessary elixirs for your daily cultivation for free. Whatever you need, our family will give priority and make every effort to satisfy."

"There’s not much to do in the family on a daily basis, so there won’t be any restrictions on consultant Elders. All we ask is that you lend a helping hand on certain specific occasions."

Ma Wencai spoke fervently, and finally looked at Lin Chen with a hopeful gaze, "I know this request might be abrupt, but I don’t want to miss out on Mr. Lin due to subtlety. If Mr. Lin has no intention of joining any sect or family, just forget this conversation. But if you do consider joining one, please give our Ma family top priority."

"Everything I just mentioned is the basic treatment. If Mr. Lin has any other requirements, please feel free to mention them, and we will do everything we can to fulfill them!"
