After Ye Zhengming left, Chen Lin frowned in thought.
He could not quite understand why the Ye Lineage was driving him out.
When he had met Lineage Patriarch Ye earlier, the man had shown no particular reaction, and the Ye Lineage had not troubled him afterward. If they wanted to hold him responsible for attracting the giant eye monster, they should have punished him rather than sent him away.
He had intended to contact Ye Luo and ask, but after some thought, he decided against it.
If she knew anything and could tell him, she would have contacted him herself. Asking would only put her in a difficult position.
In the end, Chen Lin concluded that the Ye Lineage had probably labeled him a Disaster Star, fearing that he would attract the giant eye monster again. Yet because he was a Destined Person, they could not simply kill him, so they had chosen to drive him away instead. Out of sight, out of mind.
In that case, he had no need to linger here. Baishuang City was not the only city on the Northern Wilderness Continent. He was alone, without ties, and could find a place anywhere.
Having thought things through, Chen Lin checked the Storage Bag Ye Zhengming had given him, and a look of surprise crossed his face.
The Ye Lineage's "gesture of goodwill" was generous indeed. It contained not only fifty Spirit Crystals, but also some spiritual herbs and assorted materials.
There were also several Pill Formulas, all at the Nascent Soul level or above, each immensely valuable.
That made him feel considerably better.
Next, Chen Lin adopted various identities and began purchasing supplies in large quantities throughout the city, then departed.
