Chapter 123: Chapter 123 Entrusted by Others (Seeking Recommendations)

At this moment, nearly all eyes converged on Ling Chen.

Under everyone’s gaze, Ling Chen smiled noncommittally and said, "Whether I am a Divine Thought Master or not is none of your business."

Just now, when Gu Lin pointed his longsword at his head, he only snipped off a few strands of the latter’s hair.

Even if Gu Lin truly attacked him, his Divine Soul Telekinesis had been ready to launch at the Heavenly Spirit, and Gu Lin would not have been able to cause him any harm.

But this was no reason for Gu Lin to lay a hand on him.

On that account alone, if not for Gu Lin’s status, Ling Chen would have slain the man on the spot!

Now this Gu Lin still wants to pry into his secrets?

Ridiculously absurd!

"Brother, are you alright?"

Ling Wu looked at Ling Chen, her beautiful eyes filled with concern.

"I’m fine."

Ling Chen nodded.

Hearing this, Wan Er immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Ling Chen was a genius who was promoted to core student by the Deputy Palace Master, and if he were injured at their Qin Family, True Martial Academy probably wouldn’t hold it against them.

Although her Qin Family was one of the six prestigious families in Zhenwu Prefecture, they were nothing compared to the giant that was True Martial Academy.

True Martial Academy was established by the Royal Family in Zhenwu Prefecture City!

"Young Master Gu Lin, please immediately apologize to Young Master Lingchen!"

Wan Er said in a cold voice.

At this moment, her expression was stern, the smile long gone from her pretty face.

Gu Lin had dared to make a move against her guest, and moreover, he was Ling Wu’s brother!

If she did nothing, Ling Wu might never want anything to do with her again.

Gu Lin’s face turned ashen. If he had managed to intimidate Ling Chen into retaliatory action, he might have apologized, but now the fool was clearly he. And he still had to apologize; what kind of sense did that make!

"Young Master Ling, I apologize. I was careless and failed to control my Spiritual Weapon!"

Gu Lin said coldly.

Of course, he would not admit to actively attacking Ling Chen, only that it was a lapse on his part.

As a result, not only did he fail to win Wan Er’s favor, but he almost lost himself in the process.

"Young Master Gu, you should practice more in the future, otherwise it’s too embarrassing for a Divine Thought Master."

Ling Chen said sarcastically.

A Divine Thought Master, resorting to such tactics to win a woman’s heart, was truly childish.

Gu Lin, of course, could hear the sarcasm in Ling Chen’s words, and his face darkened even further.

Thanks to Wan Er’s mediation, the incident was glossed over, and the banquet continued.

Two hours later, the banquet ended.

Just as everyone was preparing to leave, a hurried figure rushed towards them.

"Patriarch Qin!"

Upon recognizing the newcomer, everyone hastily paid their respects.

"Please, there’s no need for formalities!"

Patriarch Qin said with a smile.

He then began to scan the crowd.

Seeing this, everyone showed an odd look on their faces.

"Clan Leader, who are you looking for?"

Wan Er smiled and asked.

This banquet was her own arrangement, and she had invited only the academically talented.

"Is Young Master Lingchen here?"

Patriarch Qin promptly asked.

On hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

Ling Chen had only recently risen to prominence; could it be that even Patriarch Qin knew of him?

"Patriarch Qin, I am Ling Chen."

Ling Chen stepped forward from the crowd and greeted the middle-aged man in front of him.

Patriarch Qin looked at Ling Chen and showed a surprised expression.

Although he had heard from Qin Lie that this youth was very young, he did not expect him to be this young.

"Young Master Ling, would you join me in the parlor for a chat?"

Patriarch Qin invited with a smile.

Hearing this, Ling Chen was also taken aback.

He seemed to have no familiarity with Patriarch Qin at all, right?

Wan Er and others were also stupefied.

Even they had not been accorded such treatment; was it really the clan leader himself who had come to extend the invitation?

"Sure."

Ling Chen smiled and nodded.

"Young Master Ling, this way please."

Patriarch Qin was overjoyed.

"Patriarch Qin, please wait a moment!"

Ling Chen turned his head toward Ling Wu and said, "Xiao Wu, you go back to the academy with Chen Mo first."

He was unclear about Patriarch Qin’s intentions and had to be cautious.

Telling Ling Wu to return was essentially informing Patriarch Qin that someone knew where he had been late that night.

"Mm,"

Xiao Wu understood tacitly.

"Patriarch Qin, please?"

Ling Chen said with a smile.

...

Qin Mansion, the living room.

Ling Chen sat on a chair, while a maid served tea on a wooden table beside him.

"Patriarch Qin, may I ask why you have summoned me here?"

Ling Chen asked with a smile.

He didn’t believe that the leader of one of the six prestigious clans would invite him over just for a casual tea and chat.

Patriarch Qin smiled faintly and took out a brocade box.

"Young Master Ling, I am entrusted by someone to deliver this item to you!"

Saying so, he stretched out his right hand, and Spiritual Power gently lifted the brocade box and floated it before Ling Chen.

"What is it?"

Ling Chen inquired.

Patriarch Qin shook his head, "I am not clear about what it is, I am just fulfilling someone’s trust!"

Ling Chen took the brocade box, and gently opened it to find a green jade bottle lying inside.

"Elixir?"

Ling Chen exclaimed in surprise.

To preserve the potency of an elixir, it is usually sealed inside a jade bottle.

Ling Chen looked again at Patriarch Qin and asked, "May I ask who has entrusted you with this?"

Patriarch Qin replied with a smile, "Young Master Ling, please do not make things difficult for me. The person who entrusted me with this did not wish to reveal their identity. Moreover, she also asked me to convey a message to you."

"What message?"

Ling Chen said.

"Thank you for the guidance you provided, young master!"

Patriarch Qin said.

"Guidance?"

Ling Chen’s brows furrowed but soon relaxed.

In terms of guidance, it seemed to refer to Qin Xianzi, right?

Today, Qin Xianzi played the guqin to celebrate Wan Er’s birthday; entrusting this matter to Patriarch Qin of the Qin Family seemed quite normal.

However, he was unclear as to why Qin Xianzi did not want to meet him in person.

In fact, Patriarch Qin was also incredibly perplexed in his heart.

How could Ling Chen, a mere student of True Martial Academy, possibly provide guidance to someone like Qin Xianzi?

"Alright, I will accept it. If Patriarch Qin sees that person again, please convey my thanks!"

Ling Chen put away the brocade box.

"Mm."

Patriarch Qin nodded.

"If there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave?"

Ling Chen stood up and gave a fist-and-palm salute.

Patriarch Qin stood up and said, "Mm, Young Master Ling, please take care!"

"Patriarch, please stay!"

Ling Chen nodded and walked towards the exit of the living room.

"Oh yes, Young Master Ling, I want to thank you on behalf of Qin Lie."

Patriarch Qin called out to Ling Chen.

"There’s no need to be courteous, I also need to thank Elder Qin Lie for his kindness!"

Ling Chen smiled and left the Qin Mansion.

Qin Lie had brought him to True Martial Academy and had once stopped the Su Family Patriarch from taking action in Guangling City.

Therefore, Ling Chen was quite grateful to Qin Lie!

Now, due to him, Qin Lie had received many rewards from the academy, and Ling Chen felt happy for Qin Lie.

Once outside the Qin Mansion, Ling Chen walked on the exceptionally wide streets of Zhenwu Prefecture City.

He looked up at the sky and saw the bright moon high above and the stars shining brightly.

"Tonight is another good night for cultivation."

Saying this, Ling Chen quickened his pace towards the True Martial Academy.

The True Martial Academy was located in the center of Zhenwu Prefecture City.

It was not near to the Qin Mansion.

If he took the main road, it would take at least an hour.

But if he took the shortcut, it would only take half an hour.

Soon, Ling Chen entered a small path.

However, as soon as he entered the path, a dark figure blocked his way.

"Ling Chen, long time no see!"

A chilling voice rang out.
