Chapter 1346: Tan Yingping’s Madness
The matter of Lin Chen making Qiu Yue kneel provoked laughter from the crowd around.
In their view, what Lin Chen said to Qiu Yue today was simply a fantasy.
After all, who is Qiu Yue? She is the disciple of Master Wang Tong, the foremost Spiritual Formation Master of Yunlong Heavenly Palace, how could she kneel due to a mere word from Lin Chen.
However, at this moment, the mocking words from the surroundings sounded particularly harsh in Qiu Yue's ears.
Only Qiu Yue and Zhuang Xiaoqin knew that Lin Chen was not speaking out of madness.
Qiu Yue looked at Lin Chen and found his gaze increasingly cold.
Qiu Yue was very clear that if she did not kneel today, the consequences would be unimaginable. She did not want to be expelled from the sect, so she gritted her teeth and reluctantly knelt down in front of Lin Chen.
Crash—
Qiu Yue kneeled down.
A moment ago, the crowd was still mocking Lin Chen, but the next moment, seeing Qiu Yue really kneeling to Lin Chen, they were all stunned, hardly believing their eyes.
"This... How is this possible!"
"Why, just why!?"
The crowd found it hard to accept that Qiu Yue actually kneeled to Lin Chen.
Qiu Yue's kneeling was like a loud slap in the face to everyone around.
They were just mocking Lin Chen for being crazy and arrogant, but in an instant, Qiu Yue kneeled.
Their goddess, unattainable and aloof, was suddenly kneeling before Lin Chen.
The scene before them was something the crowd could not accept.
Especially Tan Yingping, one of his purposes for joining the Spirit Formation Hall was to pursue Qiu Yue.
Yet at this moment, his goddess kneeled to Lin Chen.
A presence he revered as high as the heavens was now kneeling before Lin Chen.
In that instant, Tan Yingping began to question his life, while a suppressed rage exploded from his chest, his gaze at Lin Chen filled with murderous intent.
"Trash, go to hell!"
Tan Yingping felt his goddess had been disgraced, and at this moment, the rules of Yunlong Heavenly Palace were nowhere in his mind, only wanting Lin Chen dead.
He then darted forward, clenched his fist, channeling all his spiritual power into it, and shot it towards Lin Chen, intent on ending Lin Chen's life.
However, just as Tan Yingping's attack was about to hit Lin Chen, a graceful figure suddenly appeared in front of Lin Chen, effortlessly defusing Tan Yingping's attack.
Buzz—
Powerful force instantly struck Tan Yingping, sending him flying, a mouthful of fresh blood spurting from his lips.
The one who struck was none other than Zhuang Xiaoqin.
Zhuang Xiaoqin naturally wouldn't let anyone harm Lin Chen, after all, Lin Chen was her "Grandmaster."
If Lin Chen were to get hurt in her presence, her Master, Master Wang Tong, would never forgive her.
Tan Yingping had wondered who would save Lin Chen.
When he spat out several mouthfuls of blood and slowly struggled up from the ground, looking towards Lin Chen's position, he was greatly shocked to find it was Zhuang Xiaoqin who saved Lin Chen.
He considered anyone might save Lin Chen, but never thought it would be Zhuang Xiaoqin.
Thinking this, he was overwhelmingly stunned, and another mouthful of fresh blood spewed out.
"Instructor Zhuang, why stop me? This man insulted Sister Qiu Yue by making her kneel, not avenging her is one thing, but why stop me?"
Tan Yingping's face turned red, angrily shouting at Zhuang Xiaoqin.
Tan Yingping felt that everything today had overturned his perception.
First, Sister Qiu Yue kneeled to Lin Chen, as if Lin Chen held immense leverage over her.
Then Instructor Zhuang didn't support Sister Qiu Yue, but instead acted against him.
"I don't need to explain myself to you."
"Leave, these affairs here are not for you to meddle in."
Zhuang Xiaoqin looked at Tan Yingping, sighed, and said.
No joke, even her Master shows great respect to Lin Chen, and now Lin Chen is their Grandmaster.
She definitely couldn't disclose this, as it would be even more embarrassing, especially since Lin Chen specifically emphasized keeping his connection with the Spirit Formation Hall a secret.
Listening to Zhuang Xiaoqin's words, Tan Yingping's expression slightly tempered.
He knew that even if he stayed, it wouldn't change anything. With Zhuang Xiaoqin protecting Lin Chen, he couldn't possibly do anything to him.
Since that was the case, there was indeed no need to stay.
Hence, Tan Yingping walked towards Qiu Yue, kneeling on the ground, intending to help her up and leave together.
However, Qiu Yue did not follow Tan Yingping's intention to rise, but instead looked at Lin Chen, wanting to see his reaction.
This scene made Tan Yingping extremely angry once again.
"Why, why do you care about his reaction? Who is he to make you listen like that, he tells you to kneel, you kneel?"
"He must have used some disgraceful means, holding leverage over you."
Tan Yingping said angrily.
He still couldn't understand why Qiu Yue would listen to Lin Chen so much, Lin Chen told her to kneel, and she did.
Just a moment ago, Qiu Yue appeared ready to fight Lin Chen to the death, yet the next moment she kneeled due to a word from Lin Chen.
Who is Qiu Yue? She is the disciple of Yunlong Heavenly Palace's foremost Spiritual Formation Master, possessing outstanding cultivation and talent, profound Spiritual Formation mastery, and exalted status, not to mention being one of the Four Great Beauties of Yunlong Heavenly Palace.
Yet now, just because of a single word from Lin Chen, a trash in the Nirvana Realm Sixth Layer, she kneeled.
Looking at Tan Yingping, Qiu Yue ignored him, which made him realize that Qiu Yue was willing and unwilling to leave.
Once again, Tan Yingping felt humiliated, as his goddess was so compliant to Lin Chen.
Pfft—
Thinking this, Tan Yingping spat out another mouthful of fresh blood.
"Let's go."
Tan Yingping no longer had the heart to stay, calling his underlings to leave this place.
Staying here, watching his goddess being trampled by Lin Chen, would only bring more distress, his dignity already ground to dust.
