Primordial Emperor

"I see."

Lin Chen heard Yang Wenshan's words and said indifferently.

It seems that Zhuang Xiaoqin's matter was intended to be investigated in the Library Pavilion today.

But today Zhuang Xiaoqin did not find anything, it seems that the Spirit Formation Hall will still be closed tomorrow.

"If I'm not mistaken, you will probably have another day off tomorrow." Lin Chen couldn't help but shake his head and say, since he had interfered in Zhuang Xiaoqin's matter.

Upon hearing this, Yang Wenshan did not know why Lin Chen would say such words but trusted him implicitly.

She was actually always curious why Lin Chen hadn't attended classes for so many days, yet Sister Qiu Yue had not given him any trouble.

As the class representative, Sister Qiu Yue would always harshly deal with others who missed classes.

However, Lin Chen emerged unscathed.

After witnessing Lin Chen's methods several times before, Yang Wenshan felt Lin Chen wasn't as simple as he seemed on the surface, so she wouldn't inquire about any other reasons, as it was Lin Chen's secret.

But Lin Chen's casual remark made Yang Wenshan contemplate.

After the previous incident, many disciples in the Yunlong Heavenly Palace speculated that Lin Chen and Zhuang Xiaoqin had a forbidden relationship.

Previously, Yang Wenshan wouldn't believe it.

But just now, Lin Chen's offhand comment that Zhuang Xiaoqin wouldn't be lecturing tomorrow made Yang Wenshan begin to speculate wildly.

How could Lin Chen know Zhuang Xiaoqin wouldn't lecture tomorrow?

Lin Chen wouldn't have expected that borrowing Zhuang Xiaoqin's identity token and casually guessing her actions for the next day would cause Yang Wenshan to imagine things.

…

After leaving the Library Pavilion, Lei Hao dragged his wounded body out of the Yunlong Heavenly Palace to the Yunlong Inn at the foot of the mountain to find his father, Lei Haotian.

"Father, this is what happened, this bumpkin from a remote place completely disregarded me, the Young Master, and ignored our Flying Crane Sect. We can't just let him go."

Lei Hao described to Lei Haotian how he was beaten by Lin Chen, of course exaggerating how arrogant Lin Chen was, ignoring the Flying Crane Sect, without mentioning his own designs on Yang Wenshan.

Listening to Lei Hao's complaints, Lei Haotian frowned deeply.

Now, Lin Chen is a disciple of Yunlong Heavenly Palace, and although Lei Haotian has reached the Creation Realm Eighth Layer and is the master of the Flying Crane Sect, it is impossible to storm the Yunlong Heavenly Palace for revenge.

If he did so, he might not even reach Lin Chen before being killed.

Despite the strength of a Creation Realm Eighth Layer, which is top-tier in the Cloud Dragon Kingdom, it amounts to nothing in front of Yunlong Heavenly Palace's formidable forces.

After all, within Yunlong Heavenly Palace, there are numerous hidden masters, and on the surface, there are already over ten strong individuals at the Creation Realm Eighth Layer, not to mention rumors of Divinity Transformation Realm masters.

However, hearing how Lin Chen treated both him and Flying Crane Sect, Lei Haotian felt discontent, as Lin Chen was too arrogant, completely disregarding Flying Crane Sect.

"Hmph, this kid is untouchable inside Yunlong Heavenly Palace, but from his remote Sect, he can't do anything now, right?"

"As long as we destroy his Jade Cauldron Sect, surely he won't continue hiding in Yunlong Heavenly Palace. Once he returns to the Eastern Domain, it's up to us how we deal with him."

Lei Hao saw his father's anger towards Lin Chen and immediately plotted.

Hearing this idea, Lei Haotian nodded, thinking it worth trying.

If this plan can remove Lin Chen, it would solve a looming threat, for Lin Chen's extraordinary talent has now created an unresolvable vendetta between him and Flying Crane Sect, and if not eliminated, Lei Haotian cannot rest easy.

"I came to Yunlong City not only to bring you for the examination but also to discuss matters with the Wu Family. To deal with the Jade Cauldron Sect, first send a message back to the Flying Crane Sect for the elders to investigate the Jade Cauldron Sect thoroughly," Lei Haotian said calmly.

The last time Lei Hao took it upon himself to use a Flying Crane Sect elder against Jade Cauldron Sect, it resulted in a loss, indicating Jade Cauldron Sect is not simple.

Lei Haotian still has some reservations about Jade Cauldron Sect.

"Father, you want to discuss cooperation with the Wu Family?"

"In my opinion, there's no need to cooperate with the Wu Family. Although they seem reputable in Yunlong City, it's not worthy of its name, just a group of cowards. You don't know, Wu Chong that guy..."

Lei Hao looked at Lei Haotian and reported how Wu Chong acted inside Yunlong Heavenly Palace and cowered in front of Lin Chen, exaggerating his accounts.

Upon hearing this, Lei Haotian couldn't help but frown, as collaboration attempts with the Wu Family had been hindered due to their excessive caution.

Also, until now, the Wu Family hadn't made a choice between the Third Prince and the Ninth Prince.

Originally, Lei Haotian wanted to connect with the Ninth Prince through the Wu Family.

Since stepping into the late stage of Creation Realm, although the Flying Crane Sect has become a first-tier force, it is newly risen, not equating with truly established sects and powers.

Thus, for Flying Crane Sect to grow rapidly, the best path is to engage in the royal succession battle.

If Flying Crane Sect contributes in this succession battle, they would naturally be the heroes, and with support from the Cloud Dragon Kingdom Royal Family, becoming a true first-tier force wouldn't be difficult.

Therefore, Lei Haotian internally had already chosen the Ninth Prince.

Lei Haotian was eager, but who knew the Wu Family wasn't, making Lei Haotian somewhat anxious.
