One person: I wanted to give up, but my abilities wouldn't allow it.

"Holy crap! You shameless bastard!"

"That's called groveling!"

"I humbly admit defeat; no one can compare!"

After Zhang Chulan kowtowed to the old Celestial Master, he looked at the crippled Tian Jinzhong:

"I'll also kowtow to you, Master Jinzhong."

"And I'll also kowtow to Grandpa Lu Jin."

Zhang Chulan kowtowed once.

Even Grandpa Lu Jin is at a loss.

"I can't accept your courtesy for nothing. How about this, within my power, I promise to do something for you!"

"Then I'll thank you in advance, Mr. Lu!"

Lin Chen's lips twitched. When it comes to the art of flattery, Zhang Chulan is a professional.

At this moment, someone brought Hu Jie up.

"This guy couldn't suppress the violent impulses within him and went on killing people indiscriminately. He didn't expect to run into a tough opponent and get caught!"

"But he's not mentally sound, so I can't interrogate him!"

Lu Jin explained the cooperation with Nadutong to the people present.

"Zhang Chulan is bait!"

"My Heavenly Talisman is also bait!"

"As long as any member of the Quanxing dares to take the bait, we will wipe them all out."

"Ah, is there another reason we came to Longhu Mountain?" Zhang Chulan asked.

"Don't you know that many of our company's employees have already quietly gone up the mountain?"

Zhang Chulan pursed his lips, indicating that he really didn't know.

Lin Chen was startled. Did that mean Xia He had already arrived?

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and should have been like dry wood meeting a raging fire, but instead, their meeting turned into a heated argument.

Seeing the determined look on Xu San, Xu Si, and Lu Jin's faces.

Lin Chen wondered if he should inform Xia He, since she was his woman after all.

After discussing this matter...

Just as everyone was about to leave, Zhang Chulan suddenly knelt down before the Old Master again.

"Old Celestial Master, could you tell me about my grandfather? Was he really a villain who colluded with the Quanxing Sect?"

The old master didn't want to say more.

Lu Jin had no reservations and told Zhang Chulan everything.

Zhang Chulan cried his eyes out after hearing this.

Their feelings were incredibly genuine.

He then knelt down before Jinzhong with a thud.

"I never imagined that you would become like this because of my grandfather."

Lin Chen was slightly moved as he looked at Jin Zhong's amputated limbs.

This old man can be said to be the most loyal and righteous person in the entire world of supernatural beings.

Thinking about his eventual fate, I couldn't help but sigh.

The old celestial master noticed Lin Chen's expression and asked:

"I wonder why you were sighing so much just now, young friend Lin?"

Lin Chen said:

“I once taught myself a little divination. I observed that the old man from Jinzhong has a dark complexion, and he may soon suffer a bloody disaster.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room erupted in uproar.

The old celestial master's expression changed drastically.

He felt guilty about Tian Jinzhong's current state.

I once vowed to protect him and never let him suffer any harm again.

Lu Jin was also shocked. He had a very good relationship with Tian Jinzhong and didn't want him to be hurt in the slightest.

Tian Jinzhong appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was experiencing a tremendous upheaval.

He was not afraid of death or any bloodshed, but he was afraid that someone would try to extract secrets from him.

A secret I'd rather die than tell.

For so many years, he has never slept, just to keep the secret.

To prevent accidentally letting something slip in your sleep.

Xu Si stiffened, then chuckled:

"This is just an ordinary employee of my company, yeah, nothing serious, he just likes to brag. He doesn't know anything about divination."

"Don't listen to his nonsense."

Lin Chen chuckled:

"I was just talking nonsense, and I apologize to everyone!"

Lu Jin immediately flew into a rage, "How could you joke about something like this?"

A strange light flashed in the old master's eyes as he looked at Lin Chen.

He knew Lin Chen fairly well and didn't believe he was the kind of person who would joke about his elders.

"Young friend Lin has shone brightly at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony these past few days, and the abilities he has used are even more bizarre and unpredictable, some of which I have never even heard of before."

"Could you stay and have a friendly spar with me?"

Lin Chen looked at the old master; it seemed he had taken his advice to heart.

I wanted to stay and ask for more details.

"I dare not spar with you, but it would be my greatest honor to have the opportunity to learn from the venerable master!"

Xu Si didn't understand why Lin Chen was spouting such nonsense, but he didn't say anything.

He gave Lin Chen a "good luck" look and led Zhang Chulan out.

After everyone left, the old master waved his sleeve and closed the door.

"I don't believe Lingyu's friend is someone who speaks carelessly. I wonder why you just said those things?"

Lingyu's friend?

I didn't expect the old master to be so good at getting close to people...

Lin Chen respectfully cupped his hands in greeting:

"As I just said, I have taught myself a little bit of divination."

"Is there a way to break this?"

Lin Chen shook his head:

"My skills are not up to par, and I do not know how to solve this problem."

"but……"

"But what is it? Tell me quickly!"

"I can offer the Old Celestial Master a word of advice!"

"what?"

Lu Jin listened to the two of them talking back and forth, his expression blank:

"No, Zhang Zhiwei. You actually believed this kid? He's not a sorcerer, how could he tell fortunes?"

"Old Lu, it's better to believe something is true than to believe it isn't."

"We cannot gamble with the lives of people in Jinzhong!"

"Makes sense!"

Lu Jin looked at Lin Chen:

"What is it? Speak up, stop keeping me in suspense!"

Lin Chen pondered for a moment and then slowly spoke:

"No matter how much defense you take, you can't prevent a thief from within your own home!"

These words caused everyone present to change their expressions drastically.

This shocked them even more than the earlier phrase "bloodshed and disaster."

The old master suddenly stood up from his seat.

"You mean there's a traitor in our Celestial Master's Mansion who wants to harm Jinzhong?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "I don't know, that's all I've calculated."

Lin Chen wanted to give them a heads-up for two reasons.

First, the old Celestial Master is very powerful.

If one could latch onto this powerful figure and make him, or even the entire Celestial Master's Mansion, owe one a favor, that would be an immense benefit.

Secondly, it was for Xia He.

If Tian Jinzhong really died at the hands of the Quanxing people.

Given the Celestial Master's immense power and temperament, he certainly wouldn't spare the Quanxing people.

Xia He, as one of the Four Madmen, couldn't escape.

If he could have given them a heads-up, it would have prevented Tian Jinzhong from dying.

Or if it ultimately cannot be avoided, one can plead for Xia He.

The old Celestial Master paced back and forth in the room for a while, then said in a serious tone:

"No matter the outcome, I owe you this today, and I will repay you in the future, as long as I am still alive?"

"You can ask me to do anything for you that doesn't violate morality."

Lin Chen cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you, Elder Celestial Master!"

"Jinzhong is my best friend in this life, and I, Lao Lu, am indebted to you!"

Lu Jin then spoke up:

"I also promise to do something for you! As long as I live, I will definitely help you if I can do it!"

Unexpectedly, there was an additional benefit.

Lin Chen was overjoyed and quickly clasped his hands in thanks.

After Lin Chen left.

Zhang Zhiwei was deeply disturbed and subsequently ordered a thorough investigation of the people in the Celestial Master's Mansion.

Especially those who serve Tian Jinzhong, or those who have access to him.

Outside.

Lu Linglong and her group would steal glances at Zhang Chulan every now and then.

Zhang Chulan felt embarrassed by the stares, but was secretly overjoyed.

"Do they all have a crush on me? Do they want to confess their feelings to me?"

He glanced at Lu Linglong, then at Zhi Jinhua and Bai Shixue beside him.

"If they both confess their feelings to me, which one should I choose?"
