Chapter 788: Chapter 788: If Only Divine Flame Sect Had Half of You

"Hall Master Mu, you jest," Lin Chen began, "I simply do not wish for these matters to affect the greater situation at hand, especially since the Dark Demon Race and the Red Soul Hall are eyeing us like tigers waiting to pounce. If we’re distracted by these trivial issues, it would truly be..."

Lin Chen didn’t want any trouble in his own backyard, so he hoped Mu Qianqiu would help keep his secret. But before he could finish, Mu Qianqiu simply smiled lightly.

"Elder Qing from the Divine Flame Sect visited last night, and I have already informed her about this matter."

Mu Qianqiu said as she looked at Lin Chen.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen tensed up, thinking that now the trouble was even bigger. Elder Qing was Yu Weilian’s master, and he had originally thought that Elder Qing would not spread the word.

"Even if she knows, please ensure that others remain unaware, especially people from our Formation Sect. I implore you, Hall Master Mu."

Lin Chen thought that Elder Qing wouldn’t broadcast it, but he still hoped that Mu Qianqiu would help keep it secret.

"Apprentice Nephew Lin, rest assured, I definitely won’t tell anyone else. I’m not one to gossip,"

Mu Qianqiu assured Lin Chen with a faint smile.

Lin Chen’s reaction made Mu Qianqiu even more curious; she wondered what exactly had happened last night that made Lin Chen so anxious about keeping it from others.

Lin Chen still felt uneasy when he thought of Elder Qing since she knew of Yu Weilian’s affection for him. If Elder Qing accidentally let something slip, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, Lin Chen decided to look for Elder Qing, hoping she would help keep the secret.

Soon, Lin Chen arrived at the Divine Flame Sect.

The people of the Divine Flame Sect naturally welcomed Lin Chen, the savior who had resolved a crisis, and they quickly informed Elder Qing about his arrival.

However, when Elder Qing met with Lin Chen, he discovered that Yu Weilian was also in the room.

"Oh... Sister Yu is here too."

Lin Chen began a little hesitantly, looking at Yu Weilian standing next to Elder Qing, his eyes hinting at something unsaid.

"Is it so strange that I’m here? This is my master’s abode."

"Lin Chen, brother, it seems like you’re not too happy to see me today,"

Yu Weilian frowned slightly. She had never seen Lin Chen act as he did today; it was as if he had something to hide.

"What are you talking about, Sister Yu? How could I not want to see you? It’s just that I have an important matter to discuss with Elder Qing,"

Lin Chen spoke softly.

Hearing this, Elder Qing inwardly shook her head, clearly understanding the purpose of Lin Chen’s visit, so she sent Yu Weilian away for the time being.

"Weilian, since Young Master Lin Chen has important matters to discuss, and it seems to be regarding the Red Soul Hall, you should leave us for now,"

Elder Qing said to Yu Weilian.

Though Yu Weilian complied with her master’s request and left the room, she felt dissatisfied. Lin Chen had never avoided talking to her like this before; now he wanted to speak behind her back, making her feel like he no longer considered her as someone close to him.

"What brings Young Master Lin Chen to visit this time?"

Elder Qing, though she had guessed Lin Chen’s purpose, still wanted to hear it from him, so she asked.

"Elder Qing, about last night..."

"The matter between Sect Master Liu and me last night, I hope Elder Qing can keep it confidential and ensure no one else learns about it."

Lin Chen spoke quietly, glancing around, worried that Yu Weilian might be hiding somewhere and eavesdropping.

Lin Chen felt somewhat helpless as he said this; dealing with women’s troubles could indeed be a headache.

Elder Qing’s brow creased slightly when she heard Lin Chen’s words; it was clear that the matter of the sect master losing her virginity was indeed Lin Chen’s doing.

Elder Qing scrutinized Lin Chen closely and couldn’t deny that he was handsome and dashing, clearly someone notable. Since they had already become intimate, why not acknowledge it?

"Young Master Lin Chen, you are a well-known figure. Since you and our sect master have become a fact, why not grant her proper status?"

Elder Qing was also a woman and naturally understood these matters.

Although their Divine Flame Sect wasn’t an overwhelming power, it held a certain status in the Eastern Domain.

Their sect master held a lofty position; how could she be without status after losing her virginity? Lin Chen’s actions could be interpreted as irresponsible. If that was the case, even if it offended Lin Chen, Elder Qing felt compelled to speak her mind.

"You misunderstand, Elder Qing, I’m not trying to shirk responsibility, but under the current circumstances, it’s best not to make too much of this matter,"

"I have many enemies who would like nothing better than to see me dead. I do not wish for those important to me to come to harm."

"If we were to make this public, even if the Divine Flame Sect were to survive the calamity of the Red Soul Hall, unseen dangers are harder to prevent. Elder Qing, you surely understand,"

Lin Chen explained his reasoning to Elder Qing; he did not want Liu Qingxia’s reputation to be damaged.

Elder Qing, after listening to Lin Chen, nodded, feeling that what he said made sense.

Since Lin Chen now had this relationship with their sect master, he would surely assist the Divine Flame Sect in various aspects. After the crisis, Lin Chen would become a substantial pillar of support for the sect.

Elder Qing knew, with Lin Chen’s talents, he would inevitably become a powerful figure in the Eastern Domain one day.

Yet, Elder Qing was still somewhat conflicted, knowing Liu Qingxia must have had feelings for him to have given herself to him.

Thinking of her disciple Yu Weilian, Elder Qing understood why Lin Chen had sent her away.

It turned out that Lin Chen also had affection for Weilian, which pleased Elder Qing greatly.

Elder Qing, not being young anymore, knew how to take such matters in stride; for a man to have multiple wives and concubines was quite normal after all.

"Since Young Master Lin Chen has that relationship with our sect master, you are now our sect’s son-in-law,"

"In that case, the Divine Flame Sect is also half yours. With the impending catastrophe, our disciples are in dire need of cultivation resources. May I inquire if the son-in-law has any suggestions?"

Elder Qing remembered that Lin Chen had brought back many treasures from the ruins. Now that they had this relationship, she hoped Lin Chen would contribute some to assist the Divine Flame Sect. To her, this request was not excessive.
