Chapter 1455: Chapter 1455: Lin Chen’s Advice
"Young Master Lin Chen, why don’t we travel together? You can continue to protect me. How about that?"
Zhang Hongying stepped in front of Lin Chen, saying calmly.
She was well aware that if Lin Chen ventured off alone, the dangers he might face would be unimaginable, with dire consequences.
Lin Chen had saved her twice, and she couldn’t just stand by and watch him risk his life. Hence, she lowered her status and requested again to accompany Lin Chen so they could look out for each other.
Lin Chen looked at Zhang Hongying. Since she had put it this way, he really didn’t know how to refuse.
"Fine, if you want to follow, then follow."
Lin Chen said coolly, thinking to himself how difficult it would be to shake off this woman.
But in case trouble arose next, he couldn’t let the Little Profound Turtle make a move. Lin Chen didn’t want to expose the Little Profound Turtle; after all, its combat power far exceeded the Creation Realm, and its cultivation had recovered to the Creation Realm Second Level.
If people noticed and investigated how he managed to bring the Little Profound Turtle in, Lin Chen couldn’t explain.
It was known that the Teleportation Array couldn’t support a Creation Realm Expert passing through, and ordinary Spatial Rings couldn’t contain living beings.
Thus, if the matter of the Little Profound Turtle was exposed, someone would surely suspect Lin Chen of carrying a treasure capable of containing living creatures.
Lin Chen didn’t want the secret of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron exposed. It was the foundation of his rise, and if people knew, endless trouble would follow.
If a special situation arose where the Little Profound Turtle had to act, Lin Chen would have to knock Zhang Hongying out and erase her memory of the Little Profound Turtle.
Zhang Hongying followed behind Lin Chen, continuing to head north.
"Young Master Lin Chen, do you know if Young Master Yang has entered this ruins?"
Zhang Hongying walked up next to Lin Chen, her cheeks slightly red, and asked.
She had fallen in love at first sight with Yang Minghui and was concerned about him, trying to find a way to get close to him.
However, due to a previous conflict with Lin Chen, Yang Minghui seemed to have a prejudice against her, leaving Zhang Hongying quite helpless.
"No, her strength is too weak. If she entered these ruins, the trouble would be immense, and she might even lose her life in there."
Lin Chen looked at Zhang Hongying and said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hongying nodded to herself, feeling relieved. She had been worried that Yang Minghui wouldn’t be able to protect himself if he entered, but now that she knew he hadn’t, she felt much more at ease.
"It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other. Is Young Master Yang well?"
"Oh, by the way, there’s a beautiful girl by Young Master Yang’s side. What’s their relation? I see them always together."
Zhang Hongying asked Lin Chen, looking at him.
Upon hearing Zhang Hongying’s words, Lin Chen’s body paused. His gaze fell on Zhang Hongying and he found that this woman was full of radiance, with something undoubtedly hidden in her heart.
Lin Chen’s first thought was that this woman might have mistaken Yang Minghui for a man and developed feelings for him.
After all, wherever Zhang Hongying went, she attracted a crowd of admirers, both men and women.
"Haha, Miss Zhang, be honest, have you fallen for Young Master Yang?"
Lin Chen looked at Zhang Hongying and smiled lightly.
"I... I do like Young Master Yang."
Under Lin Chen’s questioning, Zhang Hongying’s cheeks turned red, but she was straightforward and admitted her feelings for Yang Minghui.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen was at a loss for words, thinking indeed it was so.
Lin Chen couldn’t help but think, why does Yang Minghui disguise herself as a man for no reason? Doesn’t she know how much trouble she’s causing, leaving so many people heartbroken?
"Miss Zhang, I advise you not to fall for Young Master Yang, or you’ll definitely end up hurt in the future."
Lin Chen looked at Zhang Hongying, unable to help giving advice.
"Why? Does Young Master Yang already have someone special?"
After hearing Lin Chen’s words, Zhang Hongying’s body shook, filled with doubts, and she immediately asked Lin Chen.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen thought for a moment and nodded.
"You could look at it that way."
Lin Chen said, looking at Zhang Hongying.
Rather than giving her false hope, it was better to cut off her thoughts early for her own good.
Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words and recalling Yang Minghui’s closeness with Yu Weilian, Zhang Hongying felt a pang in her heart.
Meanwhile, Lin Chen also pondered if Yang Minghui really considered herself a man; otherwise, why would she be so close with Sister Yu?
However, Zhang Hongying thought for a moment and then looked at Lin Chen again. A strange idea formed in her mind.
Lin Chen told her not to fall for Young Master Yang. Could it be because Lin Chen also had feelings for Young Master Yang?
After all, her brother was a man and also fell for Yang Minghui, which caused a huge enmity with Lin Chen.
So, in this regard, Zhang Hongying saw clearly that perhaps it was Lin Chen who liked Yang Minghui, which is why he said this to discourage her.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hongying became wary of Lin Chen regarding Yang Minghui, deciding not to ask Lin Chen about Yang Minghui in the future to avoid him misleading her and preventing her from befriending Yang Minghui.
"Oh, I see."
Zhang Hongying responded coolly, looking at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen didn’t think much of Zhang Hongying’s attitude. He had already advised her, and what Zhang Hongying did afterward was her business.
If she didn’t heed the advice and later discovered Yang Minghui was a woman, she couldn’t blame him.
Afterward, Lin Chen and Zhang Hongying continued flying north.
Lin Chen flew much faster than Zhang Hongying but intentionally slowed down to wait for her.
Because Zhang Hongying was following, Lin Chen couldn’t let the Little Profound Turtle act easily, so he remained extremely vigilant of the surroundings, on guard for any danger.
After flying for most of the day, they came near an island and stopped immediately, discovering that many martial artists surrounded the island.
Judging by the situation, the island seemed to hold something peculiar that attracted everyone.
"This place is unusual, let’s go take a look."
