Chapter 3085: Chapter 3105: Next Time, You Can Be a Bit More Assertive!

Guard Room.

A few appetizers were arranged on a small square table, where Lin Chen and Mr. Qi were drinking wine.

Lin Chen had nothing to do these past couple of days, so he came to drink with Mr. Qi, hoping to learn more about the Thunder Secret Realm.

Although Mr. Qi had mentioned that each Thunder Secret Realm had its own rules and fate, knowing more about it was definitely beneficial.

"Mr. Qi, you mentioned the Thunder Secret Realm before, could you tell me more about it in detail?"

Mr. Qi held his wine, took a contented sip, smacked his lips, and showed a satisfied expression, "Why are you asking about that? You’re not thinking about sneaking in, are you? I must tell you, even if you managed to enter, without a Pass Token, you would be instantly annihilated."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "The Palace lord granted permission."

Mr. Qi, who was holding his wine, suddenly paused, his gaze shocked as he looked at Lin Chen, "Permission? You got the Pass Token?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes."

Mr. Qi looked at Lin Chen in amazement, as if seeing him for the first time, "How did you manage that?"

Only a limited number of people in the Great Wilderness Palace knew about what happened in the Demon Saint Valley; even if they knew, they wouldn’t think it was the work of the Great Wilderness.

Mr. Qi, being a guard, leisurely whiled away his days and naturally didn’t concern himself with the outside world, so he didn’t know about this event; even if he knew, he definitely wouldn’t be able to connect it with the young man before him.

Lin Chen naturally wouldn’t advertise this event either, and said with a smile, "I did a private task for the palace lord, and I asked her to grant me access to the Thunder Secret Realm, to which she readily agreed."

"A private task?"

Mr. Qi scrutinized Lin Chen suspiciously, "What kind of private matter would require the help of an outsider like you?"

Lin Chen answered confidently, "Exactly because I’m an outsider, it’s more convenient, isn’t it? Since it’s a private matter, naturally, she wouldn’t want many people to know about it. I can only mention so much, and can’t reveal any more details."

Mr. Qi waved his hand, "You don’t have to say—I won’t ask. But just for doing a private task and you get a spot, that seems too easy. Could it be because you’re handsome that the palace lord took a fancy to you?"

Lin Chen chuckled, "Being handsome, that’s a fact. But whether or not she took a fancy to me, I don’t know about that, and you can’t go spreading rumors!"

Mr. Qi snorted coldly, "Getting access to the Thunder Secret Realm isn’t something ordinary merits can achieve, and yet you got it so easily, it really makes one wonder."

It wasn’t just one spot, but three!

This wasn’t an easy matter at all!

If I didn’t possess the Linglong Tower, an Innate Spiritual Treasure, even ten lives wouldn’t be enough to compensate.

Lin Chen chuckled, "You can think whatever you want, but I haven’t said anything."

Mr. Qi poured the wine from the cup into his mouth, put down the cup, smacked his lips, and sighed, "You’re quite capable, kid. You’re currently middle grade, but once you enter the Thunder Secret Realm, you could probably advance to a higher grade."

Lin Chen, grinning, picked up the wine jug, poured more wine for Mr. Qi, and said cheerily, "That’s why I came to consult you. What exactly is the Thunder Secret Realm all about? Tell me more, so I can be prepared and not fumble when the time comes, hindering my cultivation." freēwēbnovel.com

Tai Xu spoke with a muffled voice, eyeing Lin Chen before him, but he did not immediately mention the Thunder Secret Realm; instead, he changed the subject.

"Previously, you inquired about Lv Shuyi’s affair from me..."

Lin Chen blinked, "Yes, what’s wrong?"

Tai Xu stared into Lin Chen’s eyes, "You visited Lv Shuyi, and then she disappeared."

Lin Chen laughed dryly, his expression one of surprise, "Mr. Qi, why are you staring at me like that? Do you think I did something to her?"

Tai Xu nodded honestly, "Yes, I indeed suspect you. I have inquired about you. Although you are only a Middle Grade Da Luo, you possess the ability to fight across realms. On the Immortal-Demon Battlefield, you have killed many Demon Lords, and you own the Evil Summoning Banner, able to command dozens of Great Demons. You also possess Magical Treasures that can hide experts..."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "So you’re saying I have the ability to take action against Lv Shuyi, correct?"

Tai Xu nodded, "Yes, you visited Lv Shuyi, and although I do not know what you discussed, it is said that after you left, Lv Shuyi was furious. Can you share what you talked about?"

Lin Chen answered without hesitation, "The senior who entrusted me was True Person Tai Xu..."

Tai Xu raised an eyebrow, "I know him, like Mei Mingzhi, a great achiever in Space Supernatural ability. When we first came here, we also considered having him lead the team."

Lin Chen nodded, casually fabricating, "Yes, True Person Tai Xu and Lv Shuyi’s Daoist couple, Huo Tianyu are friends. True Person Tai Xu asked me to bring a Jade Slip to her if I had the chance to see Lv Shuyi in the Demon World. I don’t know the content of the Jade Slip, but Lv Shuyi was very angry after reading it..."

Lv Shuyi had already been temporarily imprisoned by him in the Linglong Tower, effectively vanished from the human world, so Lin Chen was not worried about being exposed.

Even if Tai Xu had the opportunity to meet with True Person Tai Xu in the future and inquire about this matter, knowing this affair, there is a high likelihood that he would realize she had fallen into his hands and would not expose his lie.

Tai Xu stared intently at Lin Chen, "She is prone to extreme anger, and though she seemed so furious, she might not trouble you openly, but who knows in private? Did she later cause you any trouble?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "No, I left Si Xian City that same day and went straight back to the Great Wilderness Palace. The palace lord had also asked me about this matter before, but I genuinely didn’t know anything."

Lin Chen was not afraid of being exposed; Lu Shuyi’s subordinates would hasten to hide the matter rather than disclose it. If exposed, they too would not escape death.

Besides, even if exposed, Lin Chen was fearless. It was just a crazy woman; if she was killed, she was killed. If anyone disagreed, then come and fight!

Tai Xu withdrew his gaze, "Fine, if Mei Mingzhi asks you about this later, just tell him the same thing."

Lin Chen said with a wry smile, "How do you mean ’just say it like this?’ It is the truth after all, it sounds like I’m covering something up."

Tai Xu chuckled deeply, giving Lin Chen a meaningful look, "Whether it’s the truth or not, you know best."

Lin Chen felt rather guilty under that gaze; this old man seemed to be so sure he had done it.

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Mr. Qi, that’s a strange thing to say..."

Tai Xu interrupted Lin Chen, smiling amiably, "Since you insist it’s not related to you, why not make a Heavenly Dao Oath to prove your innocence regarding Lv Shuyi’s disappearance?"

Lin Chen’s expression stiffened, then he laughed, "Although it doesn’t concern me, one shouldn’t just casually make a Heavenly Dao Oath, it might invite unwanted karma and that can be troublesome."

Tai Xu smiled, "Maybe next time, adopt a more assertive attitude. It’s not my affair. Why should I prove my innocence? If you have evidence, present it; otherwise, please keep quiet."

Lin Chen looked at Tai Xu with a surprised expression, his eyes filled with confusion, "Why do you seem to suspect me and yet not seem to care?"
