Chapter 528: Chapter 548: One Step to the Peak? _1

Wife?

Lin Chen suddenly looked sideways, revealing a puzzled expression in his eyes.

His legitimate wife is Chu Jiaxue, and she hasn’t been heard from in half a year. Most importantly, she is an ordinary person who has never practiced martial arts. How could she have assassinated Guo Tang?

Who is pretending to be his wife?

Before Lin Chen could ask, Zhou Yitian had already thoroughly inquired about the situation and then hung up the phone after a long time.

"Mr. Lin, Guo Tang was assassinated, well, assassination may not be the right word. Although the other party sneaked into the sect and found Guo Tang, she boldly appeared and claimed to be your wife, named Chu Jiaxue..."

Lin Chen’s eyes widened, his expression surprised: "Are you sure you didn’t get it wrong, Chu Jiaxue?"

Zhou Yitian nodded: "Yes, I just specifically asked, it is indeed Chu Jiaxue, in her twenties, very beautiful..."

Chu Jiaxue assassinated Guo Tang?

Lin Chen found it incredible, what was happening?

"And the result?"

Once the identity of the assassin was confirmed to be Chu Jiaxue, Lin Chen’s heart suddenly lifted. Her attempting to assassinate Guo Tang could only be considered as a sheep entering a tiger’s den, right?

"Both suffered losses. Chu Jiaxue escaped when other sect experts arrived. As for Guo Tang, he is now in Closed Door Cultivation to heal his injuries."

Lin Chen widened his eyes, his face unable to believe it: "Both suffered losses?"

Zhou Yitian also had an unrestrainable shock on his face. Obviously, he was also shocked by the news. After the shock, he suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Lin Chen is in his twenties, an Innate Grandmaster who can easily defeat him. Lin Chen’s wife is also in her twenties and can actually fight Guo Tang to a draw. What kind of demon couple is this?

Lin Chen had just left Kunlun Mountain. If the couple joined forces, would the Five Dragon Sect still have a chance to survive?

Meeting Lin Chen first, regardless of the process, he is now finally on Lin Chen’s side. Could this be considered as a blessing in disguise?

"Yes, it is said that Guo Tang was seriously injured, Chu Jiaxue was also injured. But compared to Guo Tang, it is not too serious."

Guo Tang is more injured than Chu Jiaxue?

Doesn’t that mean Chu Jiaxue is even more powerful than Guo Tang?

Lin Chen felt like he had heard a ridiculously exaggerated joke. Half a year ago, Chu Jiaxue was still an ordinary person. Now, half a year later, she could be on par with Guo Tang?

Reaching the peak in one step?

Lin Chen couldn’t wait to ask Zhou Yitian any further. He took out his mobile phone, turned it on, and directly dialed Chu Jiaxue’s phone number.

"I’m sorry, the number you dialed is switched off."

Lin Chen put down his phone, his eyes inexplicable.

It’s really Chu Jiaxue!

He couldn’t reach her before, and now her phone is turned off. This means she has indeed returned.

Lin Chen was inexplicably overjoyed. Why did Chu Jiaxue suddenly become so powerful?

Could it be true, as Aunt said, that she was taken to an Unknown Land before?

Aside from the magical powers of cultivators in the Cave Sky Blessed Land, Lin Chen couldn’t think of anyone with such great ability to turn an ordinary person into a high-level expert in just half a year!

Did Chu Jiaxue go directly to Guo Tang because she heard that he was wanted by the Five Dragon Order?

Was she standing up for him?

Feeling touched, Lin Chen’s mood became quite complicated.

Thinking about it, he dialed his Aunt Feng Yazhen’s phone number, as she had been in Xijing all this time and might have received more news.

"Ah, you finally appeared!"

Feng Yazhen’s surprised voice came through the phone, and her next sentence left Lin Chen dumbfounded.

"Chu Jiaxue came looking for me!"

Lin Chen asked in surprise, "Why did Jiaxue come to see you?"

Feng Yazhen replied, "She came directly to ask if we knew your whereabouts since she couldn’t contact you. I told her everything about you, and then she left. I don’t know where she went. You should contact her quickly."

"I can’t reach her."

Lin Chen smiled bitterly, "Her phone is off. I just got the news that she went to the Five Dragon Sect to assassinate Guo Tang. They ended up both suffering losses. And now, I don’t know where she is..."

Feng Yazhen’s voice suddenly rose by an octave, "Assassinate Guo Tang? Both suffered losses? You’re talking about Chu Jiaxue? I didn’t hear it wrong, did I?"

"You didn’t hear it wrong. I’m shocked too, but this is the truth."

Lin Chen suddenly came to his senses, "Aunt, you said that you told her everything, is ’everything’ referring to?"

Feng Yazhen said righteously, "Everything, including the things about you and Xiaoxi, and Xiaoxi being sent to Cangshan Cave..."

Lin Chen suddenly felt unable to restrain himself, "You told her everything?"

Feng Yazhen hummed, "Otherwise, you say it. Xiaoxi was right. You’re good at everything, but when it comes to emotions, it’s a good thing to be responsible, but you’re ultimately a bit softhearted and indecisive. So, I said it for you, so you don’t get entangled."

Lin Chen felt quite embarrassed, "What did she say?"

Feng Yazhen shook her head, "She didn’t take a stand. At first, she said she could give way to you and Gu Yuexi, but I exposed her inner thoughts. Then she was caught in a dilemma. I advised her that you are not ordinary people, and there’s no need to constrain yourselves with the law or standards of ordinary people. If you like each other, don’t torture each other. It seems like she took it to heart. As for what decision she will make in the end, I don’t know."

If we like each other, don’t torture each other?

A thought struck Lin Chen’s mind. Yes, even Chu Jiaxue has become an Innate Grandmaster now. In the future, they may all walk on the Path of Cultivation, so why can’t they walk together?
