Every move Lin Chuan made had already drawn the attention of countless disciples. Now, as he arrived at the gates of Golden Ao Island,
even more people gathered to watch.
After all, he was a Personal Disciple!
The events surrounding him had been more eye-catching than the last, and the one before that had caused quite a stir.
Now that the main character had appeared...
How could it not draw a crowd?
"He finally decided to come out. I thought he was going to stay in Jade Purity Palace forever."
"Heh..."
"I wonder what kind of dogshit luck he had to become a Personal Disciple so easily. He was just a nobody before."
"He's so lucky. If we had that kind of luck, we'd have become Inner Sect Disciples ages ago. No, no... maybe we'd even be Personal Disciples by now."
The instant Lin Chuan appeared,
all sorts of mocking voices rang out. However, most of the people were concealing their figures and didn't dare show themselves.
They had even changed their voices and auras.
They were afraid of being retaliated against afterward.
But it was obvious that they were the ones consumed by jealousy.
Who else would dare to be so brazen?
If they were straightforward, they would have long since gone elsewhere to cultivate. They certainly wouldn't have gotten involved in something like this. They would simply have thought they weren't strong enough, rather than deciding that someone else had gotten lucky.
On the contrary...
Most people felt deeply resentful.
After all, he had been nothing more than an Outer Sect Disciple, a nobody. Then, for no apparent reason, he'd become a Personal Disciple and, in an instant, someone far beyond their reach.
Anyone would have felt at least a little resentful.
Perhaps after seeing Lin Chuan and Zhao Gongming's contest, most people had gradually come to accept him.
But...
Whenever he did something, it still stirred up plenty of negative feelings.
With certain people fanning the flames, things had ultimately come to this.
It had caused quite a stir.
Lin Chuan had taken Zhao Gongming into Jade Purity Palace without permission. That was practically a fuse.
Even though the matter had gradually been suppressed by now, it had still caused quite a stir.
Quite a few people were keeping an eye on things.
Zhao Gongming had also drawn plenty of resentment. After all, he had originally been an Outer Sect Disciple, even if he'd made significant contributions.
Outer Sect Disciples were ultimately on the same level as the rest of them. Their status wasn't especially high. But now Zhao Gongming had not only become an Inner Sect Disciple,
he had also entered Jade Purity Palace to cultivate.
That had made many people green with envy.
As a result, many people called Zhao Gongming Lin Chuan's lackey.
Lin Chuan could naturally sense that plenty of people were watching him, but at that moment, he didn't pay them much mind.
He knew that there was no way to expose those people right now. That would take tremendous strength, enough to see through their identities at a glance.
That would be another matter!
Lin Chuan ignored those gazes. His strength wasn't great enough yet to root out the others.
But he had told Zhao Gongming to go identify them.
Hah! Let them gloat for now. Once I get the list, I won't care what they think. I'll beat every last one of them up.
Lin Chuan had considerable confidence in his own strength.
Besides...
He still had plenty of cultivation he hadn't used. If he hadn't been worried about making too much of a commotion, he would have used it long ago. And right now, even he was only at the Peak Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm.
But his strength...
Was not to be underestimated!
Lin Chuan had subdued Zhao Gongming with ease. That alone showed what he could do!
Even without improving, he was no weakling.
As countless gazes converged on him,
Lin Chuan paid no attention to the people beside him and floated into the air. Then, one after another, white clouds slowly gathered together, forming a bed.
A bed floating in midair.
And he... fell asleep!
He fell asleep!!
At that moment, it was clear that the gazes around him suddenly went still!
As if they'd been hit by a heavy blow!
They could barely breathe.
Guard the gates?
Is standing guard better than sleeping?
Tongtian This Old Scoundrel actually expects me to guard his gates. He's got some nerve.
I'm not doing it. Let's see what he can do about it. If he's got the guts, he can kick me out. I'd be delighted!
Lin Chuan felt a little smug. He didn't seem at all like someone who thought he might be punished.
At that moment,
Sect Master Tongtian was utterly speechless.
He'd expected this, but seeing the kid slack off yet again still made his blood boil. He wanted nothing more than to beat him up.
But he was, after all, a Heavenly Dao Sage.
He didn't need to handle something like this himself.
"You little brat, let's see how long you can keep this up. You've already angered everyone. If I don't step in, you'd better be ready to face their attacks."
"I'll let you suffer a little first. Otherwise, you'll think you can get away with anything!"
Sect Master Tongtian decided that if another disturbance arose, he absolutely wouldn't make things easier for Lin Chuan, much less step in to help.
Lin Chuan needed to suffer a little first.
However...
He never could have imagined how much trouble this decision would bring him in the future.
Meanwhile,
Zhao Gongming was beaming as he left the company of Niangniang Yunxiao and the others. After all, his three younger sisters were just as remarkably talented.
They held an extraordinary standing on Golden Ao Island.
If it weren't for his terrible luck, he wouldn't have ended up doing so poorly. Now that he'd become an Inner Sect Disciple, his three younger sisters were delighted for him.
And because Lin Chuan had helped Zhao Gongming, Niangniang Yunxiao and the others had come to accept him.
That was why they had helped gather the names of those people.
At that moment, Zhao Gongming was holding the list in his hand. Quite a few people had already made it onto the list.
They were the ones who had been stirring up trouble behind the scenes.
Among them was Immortal Chang'er Dingguang...
Quite a few other names had also made it onto the list. It was practically a death list. Zhao Gongming didn't know why Senior Brother Lin wanted these people's names, but he was sure there'd be payback later.
Zhao Gongming arrived at the gates.
He froze on the spot.
Though he'd spent some time with Lin Chuan and already had a good idea of what Senior Brother Lin was like,
was this really how he was dealing with such an important punishment?
He was dumbfounded, and even somewhat shocked. It had completely changed his understanding of Lin Chuan!
