Chapter 1356: Looking for Trouble? Then Beat Them Up First
"We are here to see Young Master Lin Chen." Zhuang Xiaoqin smiled faintly, looking at Yang Minghui, unconcerned by his attitude, politely and gently stating their purpose.
"Didn't you just meet him last time? What is it this time?" Yang Minghui always felt that there was some unspeakable secret between these two women and Lin Chen, feeling hostile and having no goodwill towards them.
"Well... Young Master Yang, please understand, this is a secret between us and Young Master Lin Chen, which we cannot disclose. We kindly ask if you could inform him and have him come out." Naturally, Zhuang Xiaoqin couldn't tell Yang Minghui about delivering spirit crystals to Lin Chen, especially since it was five million low-grade spirit crystals.
Such a quantity would certainly arouse suspicion, and exposing the relationship between the Grandmaster and the Spirit Formation Hall would be disastrous.
"Your secret? Haha, could it be something shameful? Otherwise, why can't you say?" Yang Minghui looked at Qiu Yue and Zhuang Xiaoqin with hostility and said.
Upon hearing Yang Minghui's words, the faces of Zhuang Xiaoqin and Qiu Yue changed.
Anyone accused of having a shameful affair with others would not be pleased.
"I'm really sorry, we cannot disclose it." Despite Yang Minghui's cold attitude and words, Zhuang Xiaoqin continued to smile pleasantly, saying calmly.
"I'm sorry, you've come at a bad time. He's not at the Yellow Hall." Yang Minghui glanced at Zhuang Xiaoqin and Qiu Yue, coldly snorted, and said indifferently.
Actually, Yang Minghui knew well that Lin Chen was indeed in seclusion at his residence in the Yellow Hall.
Qiu Yue and Zhuang Xiaoqin didn't believe Yang Minghui's words, for Yang Minghui had just returned from class, how could he know that Lin Chen wasn't there? It was obviously a deliberate trick.
Lin Chen hadn't reported to any other courses in the Yunlong Heavenly Palace, where else could he be?
So Zhuang Xiaoqin was certain Lin Chen was in the Yellow Hall.
"Senior Sister Zi Ling, could you lead us to see Young Master Lin Chen? We have an important matter to discuss." Seeing Yang Minghui's strong opposition, Zhuang Xiaoqin turned to Zi Ling who stood aside.
Seeing Zhuang Xiaoqin ignoring her, Yang Minghui was furious, about to berate her.
However, she was stopped by Zi Ling.
After all, Zhuang Xiaoqin was a lecturer, Yang Minghui would be crossing the line to berate her.
"Senior Sister Zhuang, please follow me." Zi Ling clasped her hands to Zhuang Xiaoqin, making an inviting gesture.
Although Zi Ling didn't understand the purpose of Qiu Yue and Zhuang Xiaoqin coming to the Yellow Hall to find Lin Chen, she thought there was no bad intention, as their attitude was not confrontational.
Since there was no malice, Zi Ling naturally did not want them to clash with Yang Minghui. After all, Zhuang Xiaoqin held a special status as one of the top ten Inner Sect Disciples and a True Heritage disciple of the First Array Master in the Yunlong Heavenly Palace. She was also a lecturer at the Spirit Formation Hall, possessing a high status that Yang Minghui couldn't afford to offend lightly.
In terms of seniority, Zhuang Xiaoqin was technically Zi Ling's martial aunt.
Earlier, Zhuang Xiaoqin didn't put on airs before them, first greeting her as Junior Sister, so Zi Ling returned the courtesy, not daring to make things difficult.
Seeing Zi Ling so polite, although Yang Minghui was unwilling, she no longer threw a tantrum.
Yang Minghui had momentarily forgotten Zhuang Xiaoqin's identity, though the latter was polite and respectful, she was actually an Inner Sect disciple, unlike them who were Outer Sect disciples.
Moreover, Zhuang Xiaoqin was a lecturer, equivalent to their classroom teachers in status, her identity and status were by no means something they could provoke.
Regardless of status, Zhuang Xiaoqin's cultivation alone could crush them.
Fortunately, Yang Minghui didn't fuss too much, otherwise, she would surely be punished.
Thinking of this, Yang Minghui involuntarily clenched her fists.
The prestigious lecturer Zhuang Xiaoqin actually came to find Lin Chen and showed great respect.
This made Yang Minghui suspicious of their relationship, considering male and female interaction, what else could it be besides that kind of relationship?
"Junior Brother Lin Chen, are you there?" Zi Ling led Zhuang Xiaoqin and Qiu Yue to Lin Chen's place, calling at the door.
At that moment, Lin Chen was in the Second Layer of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, cultivating the Three Purities Soul Drawing Technique.
For every day outside, ten days would have passed in the Second Layer Space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.
Ten days had gone by, and Lin Chen had cultivated the Three Purities Soul Drawing Technique to near the Ninth Layer Peak realm.
After lighting up the Seventh Star Map, the benefits of the stars' radiance on the Three Purities Soul Drawing Technique were indescribable, greatly accelerating Lin Chen's cultivation progress.
If it weren't for the stars' blessing, it was unknown how long it would take for Lin Chen's Three Purities Soul Drawing Technique to approach the Ninth Layer Peak.
Indeed, Soul Power is much harder to cultivate than the spiritual power within a martial artist, and ordinary martial artists have no way to cultivate it.
They can only rely on cultivating spiritual power, improving their souls at the moment of a realm breakthrough.
Even though Lin Chen's Three Purities Soul Drawing Technique was close to the Ninth Layer Peak, it hadn't fully broken through.
At this critical point in cultivation, he suddenly heard sounds from outside, and his expression changed.
Merely sensing with his Divine Soul, he noticed it wasn't Yang Minghui causing trouble this time, but Senior Sister Zi Ling.
Suppressing his anger, Lin Chen opened the door.
Outside, Zi Ling had been shouting for a while, thinking Lin Chen wasn't at home, about to give up, when the door opened unexpectedly.
"Senior Sister Zi Ling, what brings you here?" Lin Chen asked after opening the door.
At this moment, his gaze fell on Qiu Yue and Zhuang Xiaoqin beside Zi Ling, his expression subtly changing.
"Why are you two here? Something you need?" Lin Chen asked, looking at Qiu Yue and Zhuang Xiaoqin.
Following yesterday's incident, Lin Chen was mistakenly perceived by them as a lecher, feeling quite displeased with the two women. He hadn't sought trouble with them, yet they came finding him.
If the two women indeed came to cause trouble again, Lin Chen wouldn't mind giving them a lesson.
Seeing Lin Chen's facial change, Zi Ling felt a tremor in her heart, secretly wondering if Junior Brother Lin Chen had grievances with these two women, and if they came to stir up trouble.
If so, Zi Ling didn't care about their identities, she would deal with them first.
