Chapter 369: Chapter 389: I Want to Help You, I Want to Become a Great Master _1

Walking on the street, Lin Chen was in a good mood.

His parents should still be alive.

If that woman wanted to kill his parents, she could have just sat by and watched them be killed by Xi Shan. But since she saved his parents and took them away, they were likely taken to some unknown place.

For twenty-seven years, there was no news from his parents. There must have been some reason why they couldn’t find him.

His Master had lied to him!

He was not picked up by his Master back then, but his father entrusted him and the Heaven Opening Jade to him!

For so many years, he had been saying that he was the child he picked up, most likely to avoid discussing his identity.

Now that he was grown up and had the ability to protect himself, his Master finally told him about the Heaven Opening Jade, and even arranged a marriage for him, helping him marry a beautiful wife. Perhaps this was his choice for him, allowing him to decide his own life path.

He could live a peaceful life with his beautiful wife, Chu Jiaxue, or he could pursue the truth about his identity, facing dangers and an uncertain future?

Or did his parents have a say in it?

The investigation had confirmed two things.

First, his parents giving him to Xue Kuangren was a desperate move when they were in danger, not abandonment. They did it because they loved him.

Second, according to Gao Zhengqiu’s description, his parents were severely injured by Xi Shan and barely alive, but the woman was so powerful that she must have had some way to save them. Therefore, the probability of them being alive was very high.

Xi Shan... Guo Tang... Five Dragon Sect...

Although Lin Chen wanted to kill his way to the Five Dragon Sect and find the truth right now, he knew very well that going there rashly would be suicide.

Not to mention how powerful Xi Shan was, he was just a pawn in Guo Tang’s hands. The real mastermind behind all this was Guo Tang.

Guo Tang was now an Innate Grandmaster and the Sect Master of the Five Dragon Sect. With both identities, if he wanted to deal with Guo Tang, he would have to face the entire Five Dragon Sect.

From the tone of Xi Shan, he seemed to hate him as well, and most likely the same for Guo Tang.

As such, the most urgent task now was to improve his own strength and become an Innate Grandmaster as soon as possible. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have the confidence to confront Guo Tang.

Lin Chen called Gu Yuexi.

The only two people who knew the secret of his identity were Chu Jiaxue and Gu Yuexi. Since Chu Jiaxue couldn’t be reached, he could only share the news with Gu Yuexi.

Gu Yuexi’s cheerful voice rang in the earpiece: "What made you think of calling me? Do you miss me?"

Lin Chen felt a little awkward, thinking that it was true that Gu Yuexi usually contacted him, and he rarely took the initiative to contact her.

"Yes, I miss you."

Gu Yuexi whispered: "Your tone is off. Did something happen?"

Lin Chen was surprised: "You can tell?"

Gu Yuexi nodded: "You must have encountered something good, right? There’s some...excitement in your voice?"

Lin Chen secretly admired that women were indeed sensitive. It was so true.

He had only said one sentence, four words, and it was in response to Gu Yuexi’s words, but she could still tell that his emotions were off...

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "You’re really amazing to hear that. It’s indeed good news."

Gu Yuexi immediately became interested: "What’s the good news? Tell me."

Lin Chen excitedly said: "My parents might still be alive."

"Really?"

Gu Yuexi’s voice suddenly rose a few degrees, sounding incredibly excited: "That’s great! Where are they?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "I don’t know yet. They were injured and taken away by a woman back then, and there’s been no news since. But I think they should still be alive, just unable to find me for some reason."

"That’s really good news!"

Gu Yuexi’s voice was full of joy, comforting: "As long as they’re alive, you’ll eventually reunite. You’ve been apart for twenty-seven years, so a little more time won’t matter. If I think about your uncle and aunt’s age, they’re just in their fifties, so there’s no problem!"

Gu Yuexi’s excitement made Lin Chen feel even more relaxed.

Sharing happiness doubles the joy!

"Where are you headed next?"

Lin Chen said with a smile: "I’ll stay here for a while and go to Wushan City to help someone with their illness."

Gu Yuexi responded, sounding slightly disappointed, "I thought you were coming back."

Lin Chen laughed and said: "I need to improve my strength before confronting the Five Dragon Sect. And since that woman is so powerful, there might be even bigger troubles waiting for me. I have to improve."

Gu Yuexi’s tone was a bit lost: "I want to help you too, but I know nothing about cultivation. Brother, is there any way for an ordinary person to become a super expert like you in an instant?"

Lin Chen comforted her: "There might be ways. After all, aren’t there such plots in novels and TV shows? Ordinary people encounter a chance, and suddenly they become super experts, gaining immense power..."
