Chapter 602: Chapter 602: Isn’t that Beating Everyone Effortlessly?

Listening to the cunning words of Junior Sister Linger, Yao Qinghe began to doubt whether her decision to return to the Divine Flame Sect team had been the right one.

Junior Sister Linger was recognized for her talent within the Sect, but Yao Qinghe did not know her very well as a person.

Upon hearing Junior Sister Linger’s words, Yao Qinghe frowned, realizing that this woman, like Xu Jiaojiao, liked to manipulate others.

"Junior Sister need not worry, we also encountered similar dangers when we entered the ruins, and it was thanks to Young Master Lin Chen that we were able to survive."

Yao Qinghe said calmly, looking at Junior Sister Linger.

"For some special reasons at this moment, Junior Sister Yu must stay by Young Master Lin Chen’s side and will not return for the time being. Young Master Lin Chen can protect her."

Yao Qinghe said this to make it clear to Junior Sister Linger that Yu Weilian’s strength stemmed from Lin Chen’s help, and she did not want Junior Sister Linger to harbor schemes out of jealousy.

However, Yao Qinghe did not expect that her words would upset Cao Zhixiong, who revealed a mocking smile on his lips.

"Does Junior Sister Yao mean to say that you were saved by that kid with only the Fourth Level of Reverting Void Realm cultivation?"

Cao Zhixiong questioned.

"Could Junior Sister Yao be mistaken? With such low cultivation, how could that kid defeat those skeletons?"

"Let’s bring Miss Yu back to our team, Junior Sister Yao. In case something happens later, I might be able to look after you both. Staying beside that waste will only trap you for no reason."

Cao Zhixiong’s eyes turned towards Yu Weilian in the distance. The help he had earlier extended to the Divine Flame Sect was in order to impress them, hoping to show off in front of Yu Weilian.

The beauty of Yu Weilian had attracted the admiration of countless men among the various Sects of the Eastern Domain.

But when Yao Qinghe said Yu Weilian would not return, anger surged in Cao Zhixiong’s heart.

Seeing Yu Weilian and Lin Chen so close to each other, Cao Zhixiong was even more displeased.

Especially towards Lin Chen, whose reputation Cao Zhixiong had never heard of; thus, he concluded Lin Chen was a nobody, a mere wastrel at the Fourth Level of Reverting Void Realm who had somehow won the favor of a beauty, which upset his sense of balance.

Upon hearing Cao Zhixiong’s words, Yao Qinghe felt a headache coming on.

She did not understand why these idle men always liked to compete over such trivial matters.

Since ancient times, beautiful women have loved heroes; Young Master Lin Chen possessed extraordinary strength, and even she was moved by him. It was only natural for Yu Weilian to fall in love with Lin Chen.

However, Cao Zhixiong was criticising Yu Weilian’s social interactions even though he had never met her, which baffled her.

Of course, these complaints Yao Qinghe dared only think about in her heart and dared not voice aloud, for after all, Cao Zhixiong ranked sixteenth among the Earth Rankings.

"It’s understandable that Young Master Cao does not recognise Young Master Lin Chen, as Young Master Lin Chen is a new disciple of the Formation Sect this term, so the Earth Rankings have not been updated yet."

Yao Qinghe defended Lin Chen.

"A freshman?"

Cao Zhixiong sneered.

"How strong can a freshman be? You might have been deceived by his facade. That kid is only at the Fourth Level of Reverting Void Realm cultivation; how much stronger can he be? Miss Yao might not be aware, but those skeletons have varying strengths. I have killed more than fifty skeleton frames in the ruins, and I know them well. You must be confused by this place."

Cao Zhixiong’s words filled Yao Qinghe with contempt; he was disparaging Lin Chen without having seen his abilities, which was truly despicable.

But considering Cao Zhixiong’s strength, Yao Qinghe could only offer a faint smile, at a loss for how to respond.

Seeing Yao Qinghe’s smile, Cao Zhixiong mistook it for her being impressed by the number of skeleton frames he had killed.

He thought to himself that Lin Chen must have used some trick to deceive people like Yu Weilian, and he planned to expose Lin Chen’s true colors, hoping it would win him Yu Weilian’s favor.

Meanwhile, over at the Formation Sect’s side, Lin Chen and the Formation Sect disciples were sharing their own experiences with the difficulties they had faced.

"We are alive and here all thanks to Brother Lin Chen’s Qiankun Escape Talisman."

Some Formation Sect disciples, looking at Lin Chen, spoke with immense gratitude.

Back in the Formation Sect, they had thought the Qiankun Escape Talisman Lin Chen sold was too expensive and didn’t want to buy it. However, after some urging from Lin Chen, they eventually made the purchase.

Now, they had encountered danger in the ruins, and having successfully used the Qiankun Escape Talisman to escape with their lives, they realized buying Lin Chen’s Talisman Inscriptions was a very wise decision.

"It’s good that you’re safe. Back then, you all said my Talismans were expensive, didn’t you?"

Lin Chen teased Qin Kaifeng and Ouyang Xuan, among others.

"You, you’ve actually improved your cultivation a lot, haven’t you? Now you can just toss around everyone in this secret realm."

Dongfang Yun said to Lin Chen, with a serious face.

When Lin Chen was at the Second Layer of Reverting Void Realm, he could already exhibit the strength of the Heavenly Human Realm along with Chang Bai. Now that he had broken through to the Fourth Level of Reverting Void Realm, Dongfang Yun could hardly imagine how powerful Lin Chen had become.

Chang Bai, in the distance, frowned slightly upon hearing Dongfang Yun’s words.

The last time they met, when Chang Bai fled from the fight against the man of the Dark Demon Race to seek an opportunity, he had expected Lin Chen to die at the hands of that Dark Demon Race man.

Unexpectedly, not only had Lin Chen survived, but he had also achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation.

Although Chang Bai himself had also improved somewhat, he was not confident in defeating Lin Chen.

"Ah, now I’m really not your match anymore."

Dongfang Yun looked at Lin Chen and sighed helplessly.
