"You bastard!"
Zhao Lingxi punched Lin Chen and then turned to walk out the door, not wanting Lin Chen to enhance her cultivation at all.
"Zhao Lingxi, where are you going? I haven't helped you enhance your cultivation yet."
Seeing Zhao Lingxi about to leave, Lin Chen immediately reached out to stop her, asking.
In response, Zhao Lingxi ignored Lin Chen, shaking off his hand directly.
"Who needs your interference? I don't need you to enhance my cultivation. Do you really think I'm eager for it?"
Zhao Lingxi said angrily and turned to walk out of the main gate.
Originally, she had thought that Lin Chen calling her here would be a surprise, but unexpectedly, it was about enhancing cultivation, which was far from what she had imagined, and for a moment, she couldn't accept it.
Moreover, cultivation wasn't really important to her.
Ever since Zhao Lingxi took charge of the Lingxi Commerce Guild, her heart had been set on managing the guild, not needing to go to the front lines to kill enemies, so cultivation wasn't that crucial for her.
After all, with her cultivation at the Reverting Void Realm, she has a lifespan of several thousand years. She can improve her cultivation slowly, so there is no rush.
Seeing Zhao Lingxi angry, Lin Chen felt a headache, but remembering the way he handled Xu Lianyu back then, he immediately stepped forward and embraced Zhao Lingxi tightly before she could walk out the door.
Zhao Lingxi was initially very angry, but being hugged by Lin Chen at this moment, the anger in her heart instantly dissipated.
Lin Chen really wasn't good at comforting girls. His words now seemed clumsy, but Zhao Lingxi loved Lin Chen deeply, and hearing his sweet talk, her ears turned red.
Then, seeing that he finally soothed Zhao Lingxi, who was no longer angry, Lin Chen began to help her enhance her cultivation.
Zhao Lingxi's current cultivation was too low, so Lin Chen just used half a drop of Five Elements Spiritual Liquid for her to absorb, allowing her to break through several realms directly, reaching the fourth layer of the Heavenly Human Realm.
Upon Lin Chen's arrival, Xu Lianyu was extremely delighted, immediately pulling Lin Chen to incessantly inquire about various interesting things in Central State. She was very curious about Lin Chen's experiences there and wished to go on an adventure with him if she didn't want to cause him trouble.
Zhao Yijing and Liang Rou silently sat on the side, watching Lin Chen and Xu Lianyu, seemingly content.
Yang Yuemin watched these disciples, also felt content. She always considered Lin Chen and the others as her children, and seeing them like this now made her extremely happy. As for her feelings towards Lin Chen, she let them forever be buried in her heart, for the current outcome was the best.
Lin Chen chatted with them for a long time, talking about all sorts of things during his two years in Central State. Xu Lianyu and the others listened with enthusiasm, not feeling fatigued at all.
In this Spirit Martial Pavilion, due to Yang Yuemin and Xu Lianyu often distributing various ancient texts and martial arts skills late into the night, they arranged a resting room here.
So now, if Lin Chen got tired from talking with everyone, he could certainly stay here. Not everyone could freely enter this Spirit Martial Pavilion; there were guards outside.
As night deepened, Lin Chen slowly left under Xu Lianyu and the others' reluctant gazes.
Xu Lianyu wished quite much for their days to remain unchanged forever, also hoping Lin Chen would stay forever.
However, she knew in her heart it obviously wasn't possible.
In the past, her father protected the Jade Cauldron Sect. Back then, the Jade Cauldron was just an ordinary sect in Yanwu Country.
Now, the Jade Cauldron Sect has become the strongest in the Eastern Domain. Without the frontline warriors' effort and Lin Chen's endeavors outside, they wouldn't enjoy such a peaceful life.
If the Eastern Domain were breached by the Red Soul Hall, the whole region would likely become a living hell, and people would suffer immeasurably.
In these years, though Xu Lianyu and Zhao Yijing had been organizing ancient texts and martial arts records in the Spirit Martial Pavilion, they weren't ignorant of the outside world.
The present tranquility in the Eastern Domain was hard-won, secured by the soldiers of the Jade Cauldron Sect fighting on the front line. While she couldn't fight valiantly like Luo Yu, she was contributing to the Jade Cauldron Sect in her own way.
Watching Xu Lianyu's reluctant face, Lin Chen also felt some hesitation about leaving. He wanted to spend more time with them, but given the pressing situation in the Eastern Domain, with threats still looming, Lin Chen couldn't let his guard down.
Moreover, neighboring the Eastern Domain was the gigantic Dark Dynasty, so Lin Chen had to focus on enhancing his strength swiftly.
Only when Lin Chen and the various forces in the Eastern Domain grew stronger would they be able to face formidable threats with confidence; otherwise, they would only be at the mercy of others.
