Chapter 715: Chapter 735: Did I Fall In Love With Myself?_1

"Xibeizhou Sect Competition?"

Lin Chen blinked: "What is that?"

Su Mubai knew that Lin Chen had not been in the Cultivation World for long and was unfamiliar with many things, so he patiently explained: "Xibeizhou, every fifty years, all the major sects gather together, and the sects send out their most outstanding young disciples to compete. The winners can obtain powerful magical treasures, top-grade elixirs, and so on as rewards, and their sect will also gain great benefits."

Lin Chen laughed: "Not to mention my strength, I haven’t even joined a sect. Who can I represent?"

Su Mubai chuckled: "You are Qiao Feng’s junior sister, so you can represent Nanyue Hengshan Cave Sky."

Lin Chen was a bit confused: "What about you all?"

Su Mubai laughed: "We naturally represent our respective sects. It seems that you have not understood the relationship between Cave Sky and sects. Cave Sky is ruled by the Cave Master, right?"

Lin Chen nodded: "The Cave Master is the master of the Cave Sky, naturally the most powerful."

Su Mubai explained: "The Cave Master is the master of the Cave Sky, which means that the entire Cave Sky belongs to him, and it is his right to allow which sect to enter. The relationship between the Cave Master and the sects in the Cave Sky is not one of superior and subordinate but rather similar to that of landlord and tenant. Do you understand now?"

Lin Chen suddenly realized: "So Master Shi is the landlord, and the four major sects are external tenants living in the Cave Sky?"

Su Mubai chuckled: "That’s right. However, the landlord also needs tenants. After all, an empty Cave Sky without a sufficient number of cultivators would make it difficult for many things to be carried out. Therefore, the Cave Master needs sects to take up residence, and the four major sects respect the Cave Master. That’s the relationship."

"In most Cave Sky Blessed Lands, the Cave Master is often a powerhouse affiliated with a sect, and this sect naturally becomes the most dominant sect in the Cave Sky Blessed Land. However, Master Shi’s origin is somewhat special, and his character is also somewhat unique. He has only accepted three disciples in total and spends most of his time in closed-door cultivation, not caring about mundane affairs. The eldest and second disciples are both wandering outside, while Qiao Feng Main has inherited his personality. Fei Pu Peak has never been established as a sect, so it is a place where anyone can live, develop freely, and manage themselves."

"During the Sect Competition, in the past, only the four major sects fought on behalf of Nanyue, while Nanyue Cave Sky had no representation. The four major sects dared not represent Nanyue Cave Sky, but now that you are here, and your age is suitable, you can represent Nanyue Cave Sky as long as the Cave Master agrees."

Lin Chen suddenly felt embarrassed: "I am just a middle-stage Golden Core cultivator. If I represent Nanyue, wouldn’t it be humiliating Nanyue?"

Su Mubai laughed: "Once your Sword Bone makes some progress, your combat power won’t be low, and there is still time. You can ask when the time comes."

"Alright."

Lin Chen was quite interested in the Xibeizhou Sect Competition. Even if he didn’t fight, he could at least go and watch the show.

Su Mubai asked: "What are your plans for the future?"

Lin Chen hesitated for a moment: "I am going to stay in Bai Tao City for some time, and then I want to visit Kunlun Mountain Cave Heaven."

Su Mubai was surprised: "That’s quite far."

Lin Chen chuckled: "It is far, but I’ll just treat it as traveling. I know too little about this world, and it’s good to walk around and see more. After all, I can’t always stay at home and reinvent the wheel."

Su Mubai nodded: "That’s true. You can take a merchant ship. The routes the merchant ships take are relatively safe, and they have accompanying guards. Although the journey may take a little longer, it is much safer, and you can continue your cultivation on the ship without being affected."

Lin Chen smiled: "That’s my plan too. I don’t want to end up being food for a demonic beast."

Su Mubai stretched out her fair hand: "See you again at the Sect Competition in a year."

Lin Chen reached out and shook her hand: "Deal!"

Su Mubai’s hand was very soft and smooth, and it felt comfortable when held, but Lin Chen didn’t hold it any longer than necessary, politely letting go after a brief touch.

Su Mubai turned and walked a few steps, then suddenly looked back: "Next time we meet, can you stop being so distant and call me Miss Su?"

Lin Chen was stunned: "Huh?"

Su Mubai gently smiled: "We’ve been through hardships together and can be considered friends by now. You can call me by my name. If you don’t like calling me by all three characters, you can call me Mubai..."

Su Mubai looked ethereal, her face bearing a gentle smile, and her eyes showing a hint of expectation.

Lin Chen subconsciously nodded: "Alright... Su... Mubai."

Su Mubai’s smile suddenly became more pronounced, and she looked quite happy. She waved at Lin Chen, then turned and flew away on her Sword Control Technique, boarding Su Dingbo’s flying boat and leaving Bai Tao City in an instant.

Mubai?

Lin Chen’s mood was a bit subtle.

She took the initiative to bring up the matter, which seemed to imply she had a good impression of him.

Murong Feng had pursued her for a long time, only to be firmly rejected by her, and the way she addressed people was very distant. Yet she allowed him to call her so intimately?

Could it be she had fallen for him?

A thought flashed through Lin Chen’s mind, but he soon laughed at himself, thinking that he was probably overthinking.

Among the top three greatest illusions in life, the first one is "I think he/she likes me". He must not become self-conceited.

Jia Xue and Yue Yue are still waiting for him.

It’s better to focus on increasing his own strength first. Only by becoming stronger can he walk the only path!
