Primordial Emperor

"You shouldn't have intervened to stop him from attacking me." Lin Chen took two steps forward, watching Tan Yingping's departing figure, and coldly said.

These words were naturally meant for Zhuang Xiaoqin to hear.

"Xiaoqin was too slow in acting, I hope... Young Master Lin Chen will forgive me." Upon hearing this, Zhuang Xiaoqin hurriedly said.

She almost revealed that Lin Chen was their Grandmaster.

However, realizing Yang Wenshan was also present, Zhuang Xiaoqin swallowed back the words "Grandmaster."

At this moment, Zhuang Xiaoqin thought Lin Chen was blaming her for being too slow to act, previously standing by idly.

Indeed, like Qiu Yue initially, Zhuang Xiaoqin almost forgot that Lin Chen now held the identity of their "Grandmaster," so she was also thinking of seeking justice for Yang Wenshan.

Thus, she didn't involve herself in Qiu Yue's "unreasonable fuss."

Seeing Zhuang Xiaoqin apologize, Lin Chen waved his hand.

Obviously, Zhuang Xiaoqin misunderstood his meaning.

Lin Chen's intention was to let Zhuang Xiaoqin not stop Tan Yingping's attack and allow it to proceed.

If that were the case, everyone present could testify that Tan Yingping struck first with vicious techniques intending to take Lin Chen's life.

In this way, Lin Chen could rightfully take Tan Yingping's life.

Now that their enmity had formed, Lin Chen didn't think Tan Yingping would let it go.

Therefore, he originally intended to seize the chance to kill Tan Yingping directly.

As for Tan Yingping's identity, Lin Chen didn't care.

Lin Chen didn't like causing trouble but wasn't afraid of it either. Since this guy was courting death, Lin Chen would gladly oblige.

In Yunlong Heavenly Palace, although killing was openly forbidden within the palace.

But since Tan Yingping attacked first, Lin Chen technically wouldn't be violating Yunlong Heavenly Palace's rules.

Moreover, with Wang Tong, the first Formation Master of Yunlong Heavenly Palace, even if Lin Chen killed Tan Yingping and the Law Enforcement Hall came for him, Wang Tong could resolve it.

If Wang Tong couldn't handle such a small matter, then his acceptance as a disciple was truly useless.

Indeed, the Spirit Array Techniques Lin Chen taught Wang Tong were only the tip of the iceberg from the Spirit Array Origin within the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.

Yet on the Mysterious Heaven Continent, they were the strongest Spirit Array Techniques, exceedingly profound.

Previously, the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron would boast about these Spirit Array Techniques being the strongest in the world, and Lin Chen thought it was exaggerated, but upon reaching Central State he discovered that the Spirit Array Origin was indeed extraordinary.

Beside Lin Chen, Yang Wenshan was utterly shocked. She couldn't understand why Senior Sister Qiu Yue, who was just moments ago fiercely seeking trouble with Lin Chen, would kneel after just one word from him.

Yang Wenshan looked at Lin Chen; she was timid but not foolish, noticing that Lin Chen's identity seemed inexplicably intricate, beyond her comprehension.

"Junior sister has already knelt, acknowledges her mistake, could you... let her off?" Zhuang Xiaoqin carefully asked Lin Chen.

Despite Lin Chen being younger than her, she dared not consider him her equal.

"Forget it, stand up. Don't be so foolish in the future. Before understanding the situation, don't act recklessly."

"What you see may not always be the truth." Lin Chen said calmly, looking at Qiu Yue.

In truth, by Lin Chen's nature, he didn't want to embarrass Qiu Yue like this, making her kneel publicly. But this foolish girl repeatedly sought trouble with him, which Lin Chen could no longer tolerate, thus leveraging his newly acquired "identity."

This was the easiest way to resolve the immediate issue.

After hearing Lin Chen's words, Qiu Yue immediately stood up, looked at Zhuang Xiaoqin, feeling extremely wronged inside.

After all, Lin Chen's actions had caused her immense public humiliation, leaving her with no face to show in the future.

However, however much resentment there was, Qiu Yue didn't dare display it in front of Lin Chen.

After all, Lin Chen was her "Master"; she wasn't afraid of Lin Chen, but rather her Master, as her Master held great respect for Lin Chen.

Qiu Yue didn't believe a single word from Lin Chen.

Lin Chen was caught by her in the act, yet he argued that what is seen is not necessarily true.

If it weren't for Lin Chen's Grandmaster identity, she would have severely taught Lin Chen a lesson, beating him to the point of being unable to care for himself.

"Young Master Lin Chen, if there's nothing else, may I and my junior sister take our leave?" Seeing that Lin Chen had no intention to trouble Qiu Yue further, Zhuang Xiaoqin quietly breathed a sigh of relief, simultaneously posing the question to Lin Chen.

After all, with Yang Wenshan still present, Zhuang Xiaoqin thought deeply and, to avoid revealing Lin Chen's true "Grandmaster" identity, asked.

Upon hearing, Lin Chen nodded, showing no intention of keeping the two women.

"You may leave."

After Lin Chen spoke, Zhuang Xiaoqin and Qiu Yue saluted and left.

Watching the two women leave, Yang Wenshan's inner shock hadn't subsided.

As an instructor in the Spirit Formation Hall, Zhuang Xiaoqin's attitude towards Lin Chen was overly respectful, far beyond the courtesy of peer interactions, more like a junior meeting an elder.

"Senior Sister, that scoundrel, treating me like that, making me kneel in front of everyone, losing all face, how will I face anyone in the future?"

After walking a bit, Qiu Yue couldn't hold back and cried into Zhuang Xiaoqin's arms.

Hearing this, Zhuang Xiaoqin sighed.

"Junior Sister, watch your language, he is our Grandmaster; in the future, address him properly, or the Master will surely punish us if she finds out."

Zhuang Xiaoqin stroked Qiu Yue's head, sighing as she spoke.

Truthfully, Zhuang Xiaoqin was internally unhappy with Lin Chen for his treatment of her junior sister.

Before, due to Lin Chen's profound expertise in Spirit Formation, she held some respect for him.

But just now, Lin Chen made her junior sister kneel publicly, erasing all goodwill Zhuang Xiaoqin felt toward him.

Moreover, concerning the incident with Yang Wenshan, they had indeed witnessed it all, yet Lin Chen first made Qiu Yue kneel and then argued that what they saw couldn't necessarily be true.

After all, if the two of them were truly innocent, how could they be hugging in this little forest?
