"Greetings, my lord!"
Mo Furong entered the immortal cave and immediately fell to her knees, looking utterly pitiable.
"There's no need for that. Just tell me what happened. If I can help, I will. If I can't, nothing you do will make a difference."
Chen Lin's tone was calm.
He did not want to be used as someone else's weapon, but neither would he tolerate someone riding roughshod over him.
"It's one of our Eight-Sides Tower's core disciples. He's coveted me for a long time. Back when I was favored, he didn't dare force himself on me. But because I kept failing to enter the Void Realm, I've become a discarded pawn, and he no longer has any scruples."
"Now that he's learned I've become your concubine, his shame has turned to rage. He brought several people to corner me in my immortal cave and humiliate me. I had to use the measures I'd prepared for breaking through the array, along with the formation in my cave, just to escape by a stroke of luck."
"What is his name?"
After listening to her tearful account, her face like pear blossoms drenched in rain, Chen Lin questioned her again.
He knew quite a few people in the Eight-Sides Tower, and he might even know this core disciple. He was not looking to plead for leniency, however; he wanted to understand the man's strength.
"His name is Ming Lun. He's from the Ming Family."
Mo Furong's eyes dimmed, and her voice weakened considerably.
Although the Eight-Sides Tower was an organization encompassing various factions, it was actually dominated by the Ming Family. The vast majority of its core members belonged to that family.
Moreover, the Ming Family Patriarch was not only a top-tier True Realm expert but also held a very special status.
