Elsewhere.
Qin Shilong had also received word that Chen Wen had returned.
"I know. Rest assured, at this Inheritance Hall, I'll win back every shred of face I lost."
"I'll also give the Lineage an explanation and let them know that I, Qin Shilong, will not disappoint anyone."
Qin Shilong took a deep breath, his voice brimming with powerful confidence.
"Very well. I'll be waiting to see your performance in three days."
A man's voice came through the Sound Transmission Token.
"Then that's all for now."
Qin Shilong answered and immediately cut off the connection.
After putting away the Sound Transmission Token, a cold smile curled across his lips.
Chen Wen's timely return had indeed been beyond his expectations.
But to him, that only made things more interesting.
If Chen Wen had simply died during the mission, what would Qin Shilong use to win back the face he had lost?
Likewise, he knew that this Inheritance Hall would be his only chance.
Only by obtaining an inheritance could he receive Tianxu's fullest possible support.
Only then could he surpass Chen Wen in the shortest amount of time.
At that thought, the curve on Qin Shilong's lips gradually faded, replaced by endless coldness.
At the same time.
Liu Ruoshui and Jiang Luoli, who had been worrying about Chen Wen all along, could not help but breathe sighs of relief upon hearing that he had returned.
Afterward, they each settled their hearts and silently prepared for the inheritance three days later.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
The entire Outer Ruins once again fell into a bustle, with everyone rushing toward the place where the Inheritance Hall would open.
Though they lacked the qualifications to receive an inheritance, they were still more than happy to join in the excitement.
