Chapter 1348: Spiritual Formation Attainment Advanced
"Senior sister, this guy is such a bastard, worse than a beast. Why did Master choose him as a teacher?"
"This sort of person becoming our Grandmaster, just the thought of it disgusts me."
Qiu Yue felt extremely aggrieved, looked at her senior sister, and said tearfully.
"Sigh, you can't blame Master for this either. This guy's accomplishments in spiritual formations are indeed profound, but Master isn't aware of his character."
"In the end, I'm partly responsible too. I recommended him to Master without understanding his character, leading to the current situation."
Zhuang Xiaoqin sighed, a wave of self-blame surging in her heart.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, a trace of doubt arose in her heart.
If Lin Chen's bad conduct was something they witnessed firsthand, why did Master previously say that this person improved Master Duan's Gathering Fire Spirit Flame Array in Flame Valley?
It's known that if not deeply trusted by Master Duan, one couldn't be invited to Flame Valley.
So is it possible there really is a misunderstanding?
After all, someone trusted by both Master and Master Duan could not possibly have a malicious disposition.
Their Master and Master Duan are good friends despite apparent rivalry, having been close for years.
After observing Lin Chen's Mysteries Spirit Array, Master unhesitatingly accepted him as a teacher, certainly seeing Lin Chen's friendship with Duan Yuanfeng and trusting Master Duan's judgment greatly.
If not for this, then it can only be said that Lin Chen's disguise is too deep, deceiving both Master Duan and their Master.
"Junior sister, do you think there's a possibility we've misunderstood Lin Chen?"
Zhuang Xiaoqin was unsure for a moment and spoke to Qiu Yue softly.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yue was stunned, wondering if her senior sister had fallen under Lin Chen's spell.
"Senior sister, what are you saying? That bastard is extremely hateful, we saw what happened just now with our own eyes, how could we have wronged him?"
"Senior sister, don't be fooled by his sweet words. This guy is highly skilled at deception; Master must have been deceived by him. We should hurry back to inform Master about his character."
"Otherwise, this guy, using his Grandmaster identity to threaten us, might someday have us fall into his Demon's Palm."
Qiu Yue said, looking at Zhuang Xiaoqin.
Zhuang Xiaoqin, after listening to Qiu Yue's words, still had doubts but decided to follow Qiu Yue's suggestion to return to the Spirit Formation Hall to reveal Lin Chen's true nature.
...
"Senior brother Lin Chen, it's all my fault, causing you to be misunderstood by them."
Yang Wenshan watched as Qiu Yue and the others left, looked at Lin Chen with a pout, and guiltily said.
"It's nothing, it's not your fault. That woman Qiu Yue has been targeting me since my first day in the Spirit Formation Hall."
"Don't think too much about it, it's getting late, you should head back."
Lin Chen looked at Yang Wenshan and said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Yang Wenshan nodded, her eyes filled with reluctance as she looked at Lin Chen.
But the timid her didn't dare express her inner thoughts.
If not for Lin Chen's presence, she didn't know what Tong Hu would have done to her.
And just now, Lin Chen had a bit of intimate contact with her, making her heart race, leaving a deep impression in her mind.
Actually, Yang Wenshan wanted Lin Chen to escort her back, but the timid her didn't dare say it.
However, Lin Chen was no longer the Lin Chen of the past, and could see through Yang Wenshan's little thoughts.
For this reason, Lin Chen dared not say much, deliberately cold towards Yang Wenshan.
After all, he already had enough trouble with women around him, and if entangled with Yang Wenshan, it would be even more troublesome.
His intervention to save Yang Wenshan was just because he couldn't bear her being bullied by Tong Hu, not because he had any feelings for her.
Watching Yang Wenshan leave, as night fell, leaving her to go back alone, Lin Chen was worried, in case she encountered someone like Tong Hu again.
Lin Chen quietly followed behind Yang Wenshan, concealing his form, to escort her back to her place.
Regarding this incident, Lin Chen felt there was something wrong.
After all, why would Qiu Yue's group make such a big scene in the dense forest, looking ready to accuse him?
Lin Chen immediately thought of that fat guy Tong Hu, suspecting he might be the one causing trouble behind this.
"Damn fatty, you've got some nerve, daring to frame me. Don't let me see you again, or I'll teach you a hard lesson."
Lin Chen said coldly.
...
Achoo—
Tong Hu sneezed, feeling someone was cursing him, his back cooled with unease.
At this moment, he returned to his place, filled with resentment towards Lin Chen, while admitting his bad luck, wondering how he ran into that dark star Lin Chen in the dense forest.
After being beaten by Lin Chen, he had developed a psychological shadow over him.
This time, to take revenge on Lin Chen, he blamed his dirty deeds towards Yang Wenshan on Lin Chen.
Now, regardless of what punishment Lin Chen receives, it will be traced back to him afterward.
So Tong Hu dared not stay in Yunlong Heavenly Palace any longer, deciding to return home, leaving Yunlong Heavenly Palace to avoid trouble.
...
Zhuang Xiaoqin and Qiu Yue returned to the Spirit Formation Hall.
Just as they entered the Outer Sect of the Spirit Formation Hall, they felt a profound aura erupt from the depths of the Spirit Formation Hall, soaring skywards.
"Haha... I've finally made a breakthrough!"
A hearty laugh echoed from the depths of the Spirit Formation Hall.
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Xiaoqin and Qiu Yue's faces lit up with joy.
The commotion was caused by their Master breaking through in spiritual formation cultivation.
"This is great, Master has made a breakthrough."
The two girls beamed with joy and immediately ran towards the inner hall of the Spirit Formation Hall.
Wang Tong was ecstatic, knowing he'd been stuck at the top seventh rank as a Formation Master for seven hundred years.
Without a chance encounter, he knew it would be difficult to make a breakthrough.
He'd painstakingly studied the Way of the Spirit Arrays, but with no progress in the Way of the Spirit Arrays, his cultivation was also difficult to advance.
