"Master, you've come out of seclusion!"
At the sight of the Silver Fairy, Chen Lin's spirits immediately lifted.
He had been worn out lately. With his mere Early Golden Core cultivation, he really struggled to shoulder a burden as enormous as Silver Immortal City.
"Mm."
The Silver Fairy acknowledged him, then looked at the equally excited Sun Yushi before glancing at the very nervous Sun Caiyi beside him.
Suddenly, she said, "I'll deal with the monster, but I can't refuse the Sun Lineage's kind intentions either. We'll do as you proposed and leave this little girl here as my disciple's concubine!"
Chen Lin's expression changed dramatically, and he immediately tried to refuse.
Qin Lingyu alone already felt like a considerable burden. He had no desire to take on another encumbrance, and he no longer needed dual cultivation to improve his cultivation anyway.
But before he could speak, the Silver Fairy shot him a fierce glare, forcing him to swallow the words on the tip of his tongue.
Though frustrated, he could hardly contradict his master in front of outsiders now that she had spoken. He could only wait until they left to sort things out.
In any case, he did not want another concubine. If he wanted a woman, going to Wuzhen Tower was so convenient. What he wanted was to pass through a garden of flowers without a single petal clinging to him.
Sun Yushi was stunned as well.
Their lineage had only resorted to offering Sun Caiyi to Chen Lin in exchange for a treasure because the Silver Fairy had remained in seclusion. Now that she had emerged, the principle of mutual assistance decreed by the Elder Council obliged her to help their immortal city resist the monster. There was no longer any need to offer the girl.
