Chapter 769: Chapter 789: Warm Embrace_1

Kunlun Mountain, Tian Shu Peak.

Zhao Feiyu received a message from Lu Daoren, and he was initially relaxed. But after reading the message, his face suddenly changed, and the jade slip in his hand instantly shattered into powder.

"Trash!"

Zhao Feiyu angrily cursed: "A Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator, yet he couldn’t even kill a Golden Core, he’s simply a waste!"

Bao Rui stood nearby, asking with a puzzled expression: "Lin Chen isn’t dead?"

Zhao Feiyu grunted, his face not looking good.

Bao Rui asked strangely: "Lin Chen is all alone. I also managed to plant a spiritual imprint on him. It would take at least two days for him to reach the nearest city after leaving the barrier. Why couldn’t Lu Daoren kill him within that time?"

Zhao Feiyu had a cold expression and also looked a bit puzzled: "He said that Lin Chen must have some powerful magical treasure, which made him run very fast. He couldn’t catch up, and Lin Chen entered Jade Peak City. Afterward, the spiritual imprint disappeared, and he was unable to chase him anymore."

Bao Rui frowned: "So he managed to escape?"

Zhao Feiyu clenched his fist, then slowly relaxed, his eyes gradually becoming firm: "He escaped this time, next time I’ll take care of him personally!"

Bao Rui thought for a moment: "There are only a few months left until the Xibeizhou Sect Competition. As a direct disciple of Nanyue Hengshan Cave Master, he will definitely participate..."

Zhao Feiyu paused for a moment, then his eyes relaxed: "I almost forgot about that. Fine, let him live for a few more months. I’ll find an opportunity to deal with him then."

Bao Rui asked: "What about his mother?"

Zhao Feiyu shook his head: "Don’t touch her until Lin Chen dies. After all, he’s a direct disciple of Nanyue Hengshan. It would be troublesome if Shi Changsheng decides to take action on his behalf."

Bao Rui nodded: "Understood."

Zhao Feiyu paused for two seconds, then asked: "Any news from Tang Li?"

Bao Rui shook his head: "She remains in Closed Door Cultivation, as always. When Lin Chen went to bid farewell, they exchanged only a few words before he left."

Zhao Feiyu nodded: "She will participate in the competition, right?"

Bao Rui replied uncertainly: "She should."

Zhao Feiyu waved his hand: "Just go. Don’t disturb me in the last few months. I will also enter Closed Door Cultivation. I’ll have many opponents during the competition."

...

Nanyue Hengshan, Fei Pu Peak.

Lin Chen brought Qiu Shisan to the market and arranged for her accommodation. Afterward, he flew alone to Qiao Wei’s small cottage in the back mountain.

Qiao Wei was sunbathing in her chair. Upon hearing the footsteps, she opened her eyes, and a bright smile blossomed on her charming and heroic face.

"Yo, Junior Brother is back!"

Lin Chen teased with a grin: "Did you weld yourself to that chair? Every time I come, I see you lying there without moving, like an old lady sunbathing at the village entrance."

Qiao Wei looked into Lin Chen’s eyes, her gaze full of concern: "Did you see your parents?"

Lin Chen sighed: "I saw my mother. My father disappeared while exploring Yin Yang Valley with the sect team ten years ago. Chances of survival are slim."

Qiao Wei hesitated, not knowing how to comfort Lin Chen for a moment.

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "Senior Sister, you don’t have to make that expression. Although it’s indeed disappointing, maybe because I’ve never seen him, it doesn’t feel as bad as I imagined."

Qiao Wei sat up from her chair, stretching out her hands: "Do you need Senior Sister to hug and comfort you?"

Lin Chen looked embarrassed: "Senior Sister, don’t mess around."

Qiao Wei stood up, walked to Lin Chen’s face, and spoke in a relaxed tone: "When I was injured, didn’t you hug me too? You are injured now, why can’t I hug and comfort you?"

Qiao Wei didn’t wait for Lin Chen to object, and directly reached out and hugged Lin Chen tightly.

Lin Chen’s body stiffened, and he subconsciously tried to struggle free, but Qiao Wei’s hand gently patted his back, her tone exceptionally gentle.

"If you want to cry, just cry. You still have your mother and your Senior Sister. Senior Sister will be with you!"

An inexplicable warmth struck Lin Chen’s heart, which he had originally sealed off, and his eyes felt somewhat moist.

Although he was saddened and disappointed by the news of his father, it was false to say that he didn’t feel the loss. However, he was an adult after all, and as he said before, the two of them had never met. Their emotional connection felt empty, so it was unlikely that he would cry, but he felt hollow inside.

Qiao Wei’s sudden big sister-like gentle comfort caused him to let down all his defenses in an instant.

He didn’t say anything, just holding Qiao Wei gently.

At this moment, Qiao Wei’s embrace felt like a harbor, giving his heart peace.

After a while, Lin Chen had sorted out his emotions, he whispered in Qiao Wei’s ear: "I got reliable information; the Tomb of the Demon Emperor is located in the Absolute Yin Yang Valley."

Qiao Wei was slightly startled but remained still: "I heard rumors before, many people went in to search for it. However, they couldn’t resist the poison, couldn’t enter the central area, and most ended up with heavy casualties. I’ve never heard of anyone having any definite gains."

Lin Chen whispered: "I found someone who has a way to resist the Yin-Yang Valley Poison."

Qiao Wei raised her head in surprise: "Are you joking?"
