Chapter 318: Chapter 318 Tracking

"Can it teleport a hundred miles?"

Yu Weilian’s eyes flickered slightly as she looked at the talisman inscription in her hand, her heart filled with shock.

"No, this talisman inscription is too precious. You should keep it to protect yourself," she said, attempting to return the talisman inscription to Lin Chen.

After all, such a talisman inscription was an artifact that could save one’s life by instantly teleporting the user a hundred miles away. If one encountered an invincible foe, even powerhouses at the Reverting Void Realm would not be able to catch up immediately, greatly increasing the chances of escape.

Once this talisman inscription appeared, it was bound to fetch a sky-high price.

"It’s fine, I have more with me. Sister Yu, please accept it. If it weren’t for Sister Yu’s care back in Desolate Sky City, I wouldn’t be here today. To me, this talisman inscription is not a valuable item."

Lin Chen gently pushed the talisman inscription back into Yu Weilian’s hands and spoke indifferently.

Lin Chen was a person who acknowledged favors and repaid them. Although the care he received from Yu Weilian back then might have been easy for her, it greatly alleviated his adversities.

"Lin Chen, brother, don’t tell me you have taken an interest in your sister here? You’re even giving me such a precious item without hesitation."

"I’ve heard that you have a dao companion in the Jade Cauldron Sect. Aren’t you afraid of how you’re going to explain this to her when you get back?"

Yu Weilian smiled seductively and directly put the Qiankun Escape Talisman into her spatial ring.

Naturally, Yu Weilian also desired such a life-saving talisman inscription within her heart.

"Sister Yu is joking. I merely wish to repay the kindness you showed me back in Desolate Sky City. Please don’t overthink it, Sister Yu,"

"Besides, the so-called dao companion is just my senior sister using me as a shield. She deliberately spread those rumors, which shouldn’t be taken seriously,"

Lin Chen shook his head and chuckled bitterly, inwardly not expecting that even Sister Yu had heard about the matters with his senior sister.

It really is the case that bad news travels a thousand miles, while good news stays at home.

Of course, Lin Chen was not interested in the matter of dao companions.

He was wholeheartedly pursuing the peak of the Martial Path, with no leisure to involve himself in the affairs of romance.

"In that case, I will unceremoniously accept this talisman inscription,"

"You take care, and look after Lingxi well. If by chance we meet again, and I find out you’ve wronged her, don’t blame my fists for not recognizing you,"

Saying this, Yu Weilian turned to leave.

At this moment, her heart was filled with complex emotions. Lin Chen only knew that his affairs with Zhao Yijing had reached Yu Weilian’s ears but was unaware that aside from the Jade Cauldron Sect, very few other sect members knew of it. The reason Yu Weilian was aware was because she cared about Lin Chen and had deliberately inquired about it.

The image of Lin Chen’s exceptional talent had long planted a seed in Yu Weilian’s heart.

Whenever Yu Weilian drifted into sleep, Lin Chen’s image would unconsciously emerge in her mind.

Yu Weilian, a prized talent of the heavens, was a rare individual with extraordinary gifts, even within the Divine Flame Sect. Therefore, the man who wished to draw her attention must possess even more outstanding talent.

Back then, Yu Weilian had chosen to run away from home in a fit of anger because she was extremely dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by her family, hoping that traveling through the outside world might alleviate her upset.

After arriving in Desolate Sky City, a twist of fate led her to meet Zhao Lingxi, which eased her troubles, and she decided to settle down in Desolate Sky City. Later on, she met Lin Chen and found him to be a very interesting person.

However, once a woman takes an interest in a man, such feelings often develop rapidly and become hard to control.

Every action of Lin Chen deeply attracted her, especially since he always brought her surprises. In her eyes, Lin Chen’s cultivation talent and innate abilities were not inferior to hers. She believed that given time, Lin Chen would surely become a formidable figure.

How could such a man not move her heart?

Thus, gradually, she fell for Lin Chen.

However, Lin Chen’s words just now brought her some relief, yet also a touch of sadness.

Lin Chen had no ulterior motives towards her, and this pure relationship, to him, became a form of safe protection.

Yet, deep down, she so wished that Lin Chen held the same feelings towards her.

Facing the contradictions in her heart and at a loss, Yu Weilian ultimately chose to flee, planning to leave this place of emotional turbulence as soon as possible.

Soon after, Yu Weilian bade Zhao Lingxi farewell and then, with a deep glance at Lin Chen, she soared away.

"Sister Yu, take good care of yourself."

At this moment, Zhao Lingxi’s heart was filled with reluctance, yet she knew that Yu Weilian was bound to leave eventually.

The Great Flame Dynasty was never her home to begin with, and Zhao Lingxi didn’t know if she would ever have the chance to repay the care that Yu Weilian had shown her.

It was Yu Weilian who had protected her when sect disciples stormed into the Wanxing Commerce Association. If not for Yu Weilian, she might have died long ago.

"You all... take care as well!"

Just before leaving, Yu Weilian let out a long, wistful sigh.

Lin Chen watched Yu Weilian’s departing figure, a self-deprecating sneer appearing on his lips as his fists involuntarily clenched tight.

Having stayed in the Jade Cauldron Sect for so long, Lin Chen had come to understand some matters of love through his interactions with many women.

He knew of Yu Weilian’s affection for him, but he could not show it. Otherwise, it would bring nothing but trouble to Yu Weilian, without any benefit.

The current Lin Chen was far from strong enough to deal with powers like the Divine Flame Sect, Moon Shadow Pavilion, or even Red Soul Hall.

If he wished to be of any help to Yu Weilian, he needed to become much stronger.

He was well aware that Yu Weilian’s caution was no idle warning—Red Soul Hall would not let things go easily, and Lin Chen had to be prepared before that happened.

...

Above the skies, the white mist filled the air.

At this moment, the cultivation displayed by Yu Weilian was of the Heaven-reaching Realm Seventh Layer, a strength that surpassed all the True Disciples of any sect within the Great Flame Dynasty.

Now, Yu Weilian was flying swiftly, heading back in the direction of the Divine Flame Sect.

However, her beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed as she looked towards a certain direction. There, a white fog which seemed to be naturally formed was spreading.

But Yu Weilian knew the situation was not so simple.

"You’ve followed me all this way; aren’t you going to show yourself?"
