Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand

Some people asked Lin Chen what had happened, and Lin Chen insisted that it was the other party who provoked him.

"How unreasonable! I was eating, and you suddenly came up to beat me," the Beastmaster said, almost in tears from grievance.

Lin Chen felt guilty...

That person indeed suffered without cause.

However, this is a chessboard; everyone is merely a pawn.

Therefore, Lin Chen stuck to his story that the other party was the one to provoke first.

This led both sides to believe they were right, resulting in a fight, and it became a group fight.

After nearly half an hour, it finally drew the attention of the higher-ups.

Bai Zheng and two others hurried over to inquire about what had happened.

Lin Chen and that Beastmaster were pushed out.

"You speak," Bai Zheng said, pointing at Lin Chen, his attitude very strong.

If they had been in the right, Bai Zheng would likely have punished that Beastmaster on the spot.

Lin Chen exaggerated the story, and upon hearing it, Bai Zheng indeed became furious and wanted to take action.

Shi Feng was not easy to mess with either and immediately stopped him, ready for a showdown.

At the critical moment, Yin Quan immediately stepped in to act as a peacemaker.

Lin Chen was anxious; he wanted the two of them to fight.

Then, whoever won would have the say.

This Yin Quan...

What a nuisance!

Seeing that a fight was definitely not going to happen, Lin Chen had a second plan, as he also anticipated that someone would intervene, so he clasped his hands and said to Bai Zheng, "Sect Leader, I can endure a bit of grievance; don't let me spoil the big picture."

The Wild Boar Beastmaster, upon hearing this, was immediately defenseless and said, "How irrational, neither my pig nor I had provoked you, and you just brought your bull and assaulted us, and now you're the one feeling wronged?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zheng furrowed his brow slightly and said, "He has already taken a step back on his own; what more do you want?"

....

Outside the War Chessboard, Ding Feng sat in place, observing the board.

With the help of the Tree Ancestor, he was able to see the situation inside.

Initially, he didn't understand why Lin Chen proactively stirred up conflict, but now he somewhat understood.

Like playing chess, if a pawn wants to capture the king, it must first approach the king.

Many people cannot solve this chessboard, because with the identity of an ordinary person, it is difficult to disturb this stagnant pool.

Lin Chen's approach was indeed refreshing...

He used small pieces to stir the big pieces.

Ding Feng felt a bit tense, wondering if the Cang Mountain Campaign could really be cracked.

While Ding Feng was deep in thought, the temperature in the scene abruptly rose, as both leaders wanted to stand up for their disciples, leading to a real clash.

But what Lin Chen didn't expect was that the two fighters ended in a draw.

Lin Chen sighed, thinking that this was truly a hellish difficulty.

He did not lose heart, since his plan was not to control the scene through them.

His real purpose was singular:

To get close to Bai Zheng.

Clearly, he succeeded.

The two fought vigorously, only to be once again advised against by Yin Quan.

That night, Lin Chen came before Bai Zheng's tent, hoping to see Bai Zheng.

"The Sect Leader is resting and does not see outsiders," the gatekeeping disciple naturally blocked him.

With a low status, Lin Chen couldn't see Bai Zheng.

Lin Chen immediately bowed his hands and said, "Sect Leader stood up for me, and I am grateful for his benevolence, so I came specially to thank him. Please, senior brother, relay this."

The guards exchanged a glance, and one of them eventually went inside.

Soon, the guard came out, saying Bai Zheng was willing to meet him.

Hearing this, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, though he was not surprised.

Bai Zheng had performed a great deed for sect cohesion, naturally wanting it to be publicized...

This would enhance his reputation within the sect.

So, after entering the tent, Lin Chen immediately bowed and said, "Disciple is grateful for the Sect Leader's assistance."

"It's a small matter, but remember, once you've entered my South Mountain Sect, not just anyone can bully you," Bai Zheng's voice was loud, allowing those outside to hear as well.

However, his passionate speech was soon interrupted by Lin Chen's words.

"Sect Leader, about today's incident... I lied."

As soon as Lin Chen said this, Bai Zheng's face changed drastically, and looking at Lin Chen's expression, it even showed a hint of murderous intent.
