It was that simple!
Though that was indeed the truth.
The problem was, who would believe it?
The mighty Nailong True Person, late Tribulation Transcendence Stage, an undying existence of everlasting life, actually valued a mere Spirit Division-level cultivator this much?
Even boasting needed a draft first. Even as a joke, this was far too outrageous.
Lin Xuan had already thought it over. Explanations could not make this clear; they would only make things even messier.
Then what should he do?
If it were someone else, they might truly have been at a loss.
But Lin Xuan was different. He had weathered countless great winds and towering waves, and very quickly thought of a way to resolve it.
Mm, it could not really be called a solution, but at the very least, on this basis, he could make some degree of amends.
That was to let nature take its course.
This time, the disaster had ultimately been brought upon him because Nailong True Person personally welcoming him had made him far too high-profile, drawing countless envies and jealousies. Since he could not explain it clearly, he might as well be even more high-profile.
As the saying went, fight poison with poison, or smash the cracked pot to pieces. He would simply borrow the tiger's might like a fox, act calm and natural, chat and laugh freely with Nailong True Person, and put on the appearance of associating as equals.
In this way, even if the other old monsters were dissatisfied with him, once they saw this scene, they would probably become suspicious instead, unable to figure out exactly what his strength and background were, and would conversely not dare act rashly.
Of course, doing this was not foolproof, but apart from this, Lin Xuan truly could not think of any
