Chapter 1278: Chapter 1278: This Kid Is Anything but Ordinary
"Lin Chen, young brother, I’m really sorry, but I’m afraid our Earth Hall cannot accept you."
After much consideration, Wan Yu finally made a decision. Taking Lin Chen in and offending Wang Shuo and the Heaven Hall was too unwise.
For the sake of the other brothers in the Earth Hall, Wan Yu had to make the decision that was most beneficial to himself.
Looking at Lin Chen, Wan Yu spoke with some regret, after all, he had clearly promised to take Lin Chen in before but now was going back on his word.
"Brother Yu, Lin Chen is the one who saved my life, how can you make such a decision? Is the Earth Hall really that afraid of the Heaven Hall?"
Wan Qiansan was suddenly anxious upon hearing Wan Yu’s words. After all, Wan Yu’s actions were akin to being opportunistic, which disappointed him.
"It doesn’t matter, Brother Wan, you don’t need to trouble Brother Wan Yu, he has his difficulties, I can understand."
Lin Chen patted Wan Qiansan’s shoulder and spoke lightly.
Regarding Wan Yu’s decision, Lin Chen was not surprised nor did he hold any blame, after all, they had no connection, so why should Wan Yu take the Earth Hall’s anger for him.
If Wan Yu were to accept him under Wan Qiansan’s pressure, Lin Chen would feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, Lin Chen expressed understanding and respect for Wan Yu’s choice.
But likewise, if that’s how it was, they could only be ordinary peers, not friends.
It was already good that Wan Yu didn’t kick him when he was down to please the Heaven Hall.
"Hehe, kid, I told you before, offending our Heaven Hall means none of the other three halls will dare accept you. If not, you could kneel before me now, give me some loud kowtows, and call me ’grandfather’ a few times, then I might reconsider whether or not to accept you."
Seeing Wan Yu refuse Lin Chen, Wang Shuo immediately sneered, thinking Wan Yu was sensible, then proceeded to mock Lin Chen coldly.
"Su Yun, you have also passed the assessment and become an Outer Sect Disciple of Yunlong Heavenly Palace."
"Such joyous news, why didn’t you inform me?"
"Come on, follow me to the Profound Hall. I have some friends there, and from now on your cousin will look after you."
Just as Wang Shuo was mocking Lin Chen, suddenly a figure walked out, noticed Su Yun, and exclaimed with joy.
Su Yun and the others turned to look, and it was Su Yun’s cousin, Liang Donghe, who was also one of the Top Ten Heroes.
"It’s you, cousin, but I’m with my boss, going to the Profound Hall might be..."
Su Yun looked at Liang Donghe and was put in a dilemma.
Faced with Liang Donghe’s invitation, the Profound Hall was naturally the best place for him.
But since Su Yun recognized Lin Chen as his boss, how could he leave alone at this moment? He had to advance and retreat together with Lin Chen, wherever Lin Chen went, he would go.
"If that’s the case, then just bring along your boss and your friends with me to the Profound Hall. That’ll be fine."
Liang Donghe spoke calmly.
With his connections in the Profound Hall, bringing a few people over was not a problem.
"Really, cousin, that would be great."
Su Yun instantly showed a look of joy on his face, this way he, his boss, and his boss’s woman all had a place to go.
Wang Shuo, who was off to the side, remained silent when Liang Donghe arrived there.
Though he wasn’t afraid of Liang Donghe, despite being also one of the Top Ten Heroes like Zhang Hongying and Wan Qiansan, it was still insufficient to make the Heaven Hall wary.
He said nothing, intending to let Lin Chen and the others experience another moment of joy only to have it turn to disappointment, also to let Yu Weilian and Yang Minghui understand the weight of the Heaven Hall.
He planned to step in once the Profound Hall agreed to take Lin Chen and the others, to make them endure the pain of another cruel reality.
And upon receiving Liang Donghe’s acceptance, Lin Chen and the others followed Liang Donghe away, seeing this, Wan Qiansan also followed.
"Qiansan, where are you going? Aren’t you joining our Earth Hall?"
Wan Yu saw Wan Qiansan was about to leave, and immediately spoke, stepping forward to grab Wan Qiansan.
Wan Qiansan was straightforward and immensely bold by nature, Wan Yu clearly saw that Wan Qiansan was probably unhappy about his reversal in accepting Lin Chen and the others.
"Brother Yu, as I understand, you’re not a person who fears trouble, but what I saw today, the way your Earth Hall conducts itself is too cowardly, doesn’t fit my nature."
Wan Qiansan spoke lightly, then shook off Wan Yu’s attempt to keep him, and followed Lin Chen.
"Alas."
Watching his cousin’s straightforward manner, which was the same as ever, such a personality is sometimes good but sometimes bad.
Not understanding patience and flexibility, he will suffer sooner or later.
Watching the departing back of Wan Qiansan, Wan Yu no longer tried to keep him, but thought about waiting for Wan Qiansan to hit some walls and lose some of his sharpness at Yunlong Heavenly Palace, then he would find him to return.
Afterwards, under the leadership of Liang Donghe, Lin Chen and his group arrived at the Profound Hall’s reception area.
There, the male and female hosts of accepting disciples were both people from the Liang Family, the man was Liang Xuanzhen, and the woman dressed in white was Zhang Caiyun.
After some introductions, Liang Xuanzhen and Zhang Caiyun accepted Lin Chen and his group.
Though Lin Chen’s cultivation was low, they still showed face to Liang Donghe, besides Yu Weilian and Yang Minghui’s cultivation were not weak.
However, just when the two agreed to accept Lin Chen, Wang Shuo sneered at this moment, jumping out again to threaten the Profound Hall.
Upon hearing this, after some deliberations, Liang Xuanzhen and Zhang Caiyun fell into a dilemma.
Apparently, they also didn’t want to offend the Heaven Hall because of a single Lin Chen.
But at this time, Zhang Hongying stood out, pleading for Lin Chen to Zhang Caiyun, asking her to accept Lin Chen.
Originally, Liang Xuanzhen and Zhang Caiyun didn’t want to take Lin Chen in, but unexpectedly a mere Lin Chen attracted Liang Donghe, Zhang Hongying, and Wan Qiansan, three Top Ten Heroes to protect him, they suddenly felt this matter was not simple.
Considering Lin Chen alone, with mere Fifth level of the Nirvana realm cultivation, they wouldn’t even take a proper look, but what virtues and abilities did Lin Chen have to make three Top Ten Heroes stand on his side?
This kid is not simple, he surely has some extraordinary qualities.
It should be noted that although their current strength surpasses Zhang Hongying and the three Top Ten Heroes, their talent is inferior, fearing that they will soon be surpassed.
