Upon seeing Lin Chen, Hu Liena and Xiao Wu exchanged a glance, then covered their mouths and chuckled. Hu Liena's lips parted slightly. "Xiao Wu, Brother Chen is at it again~"
Xiao Wu: Sister Nana, this lady has such a great presence! If Brother Chen could take her into his tent, we could ask her for advice every day. I bet Master would like someone like her!
Hu Liena: Good idea.
The woman named Yanyan stared intently at his profile, a wave of sorrow washing over her: Had he truly forgotten her?
Lin Chen arrived at the guqin platform at the head of the table, where a pleasant fragrance wafted towards him. He then placed his hands on the guqin and began to play.
Clang clang clang...
As the piano music began, the murmurs below ceased instantly, and everyone stared blankly at the figure in front of them. The rhythm and opening notes were perfect, without the slightest problem.
Even Tang Yuehua, who was standing to the side, was secretly startled. Her beautiful eyes kept glancing at his profile, and she thought to herself: What a handsome young man, but... but his gaze is a bit too presumptuous.
After an incense stick has burned, the song comes to an end.
Lin Chen looked at Tang Yuehua, who was engrossed in her own world, and smiled slightly, " Teacher Tang, how was my performance of this piece?"
"Hmm..." Tang Yuehua finally realized what was happening, her beautiful face flushing slightly. She quickly praised, "Very good! Lin's technique is flawless, even more skillful than the teacher's. Let's all applaud the excellent Lin!"
Snap snap...
"This student, Lin, is amazing! Even more amazing than Sister Shuhua!"
"Yes, and he's tall and handsome too. I heard even Prince Xue Xing treats him with utmost respect!"
"Oh my god, he looks exactly like my ideal man! I've fallen for him, what am I going to do?!"
Most of the applauders were female students, and each of them had a spring in their eyes, avoiding eye contact with him. After all, Lin Chen's current appearance and special physique made him incredibly attractive to ordinary female Soul Master.
Even Tang Yuehua was somewhat dazed just now, let alone them...
Half an hour later, the morning classes ended. Lin Chen was just about to return to the rest room with Hu Liena and the other two women to cultivate when the woman named ' Yanyan ' in front of him turned around and greeted him.
" Young Master Lin, it's been a long time..."
Lin Chen was slightly taken aback when he looked at her pretty face. The two of them actually had no relationship. In addition, Dugu Yan was inferior to his woman in terms of talent, background, figure and appearance, so he was not very interested in her.
Receiving no reply, the woman's expression shifted rapidly, revealing a hint of shame. She thought to herself, "Dugu Yan, Dugu, I don't even remember you, yet you still shamelessly throw yourself at me..."
"Miss Dugu, is there something you need?"
Dugu Yan's pretty face lit up with joy. " Young Master Lin, you still remember me?"
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Hehe... I have a deep impression of you~"
Dugu Yan's pretty face flushed, instantly recalling the scene from the finals, when she was terrified in front of everyone...
" Young Master Lin. Lin... are you busy at noon?"
Lin Chen pondered for a moment, then nodded. "I think so."
Dugu Yan whispered, "Then... Young Master Lin, could you have a meal with me?"
"Great! I couldn't be happier to accept such an invitation from such a beautiful woman!"
A few breaths later, Hu Liena, Xiao Wu, and the other two girls watched the two men's departing figures, a hint of helplessness in their expressions. Hu Liena sighed, " Brother Chen's charm is too great; wherever he goes, so many outstanding goddesses pursue him."
A strange glint flashed in Xiao Wu's pink eyes. "Wasn't that Yu Tianheng's girlfriend from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? What's she doing here?"
With Xiao Wu's reminder, Hu Liena suddenly remembered. "Oh right, no wonder they looked so familiar. Wu'er, should we go and peek at them?"
Xiao Wu frowned slightly, and asked worriedly, "Is this a good idea? Will Master be angry?"
"Oh, don't worry, he wouldn't be angry with you. If he does get angry, just say it was Sister Qi who instructed him~"
"This is great!"
Xue Qi's pretty face showed a hint of anxiety. " Nana, Wu'er, how could you do this?"
Slaughter City, the former tavern
Due to the destruction of the Slaughter City, this dilapidated tavern had almost completely collapsed. At this moment, three figures sat together around a table inside the run-down tavern.
"Decades have passed without us realizing it; things have changed so much!"
Looking at the King of Slaughter before him, Tang San was deeply shaken. When he learned the other's identity, he was first incredulous, then overjoyed, because with him, he could take revenge and even win back Xiao Wu!
Tang Hao frowned. " Xiao San, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and greet your great-grandfather!"
" Tang San greets his great-grandfather!"
Tang Chen smiled faintly, "Well done, at such a young age you're already a level 65 Soul Emperor, and you even dared to venture into the previous Slaughter City. You're not bad, kid."
Thump!
Tang San knelt down with a thud. "I beg you, Grandfather, to uphold justice for me."
" Xiao San, what are you doing?!" Tang Chen quickly helped him up. "Get up, you're making things difficult for your great-grandfather."
"Tell me, what is it? As long as it's something your great-grandfather can do, he will definitely help you!"
Tang Hao gave Tang San a deep look, already knowing what he was going to say.
So Tang San recounted how Lin Chen had stolen his 'lover' Xiao Wu, embellishing the story and also criticizing the Spirit Hall.
Bang!
Upon hearing his words, Tang Chen slammed his fist on the table in anger. " The Spirit Hall is getting more and more outrageous! You do it once, your father does it once, do you really think my Clear Sky Sect is easy to bully?!"
Tang San asked with delight, "Grandpa, would you be willing to help me?"
Tang Chen pondered for a long time, his brows furrowed. "It's impossible to get your 'lover' back directly for you, because this matter is too complicated and could easily drag the Clear Sky Sect into a quagmire of war. If that old guy from the Spirit Hall isn't dead either, our chances of winning are slim."
Tang San quickly said, "Grandpa, you had many subordinates at the Titled Douluo level in the Slaughter City, and dozens of Soul Douluo level experts too!"
Tang Chen frowned. " Xiao San, you don't understand. Those people are almost all ruthless, Fallen Soul Master without blinking an eye. Although Grandpa is still in contact with them, it's only to restrain their behavior and prevent them from killing innocent people indiscriminately. To be honest, Grandpa doesn't want to have any contact with them, much less use them to seek benefits for our Clear Sky Sect."
Tang San looked dejected. "Oh~"
"However..." Tang Chen said meaningfully, "Although your great-grandfather can't help you directly, he can help you increase your Soul Power!"
"Thank you for your help, Grandfather. How can I improve?" Tang San's eyes lit up, and he asked with a fawning smile, afraid that Tang Chen would change his mind.
Tang Chen smiled confidently, "Although your great-grandfather didn't successfully pass the Asura Nine Trials, he hasn't been without gains over the past few decades. Although the Slaughter Barrier is now destroyed, creating a pseudo Slaughter Barrier is still easy. With this ability, Grandpa can help you hunt down Fallen Soul Master and provide you with an inexhaustible supply of Yellow Springs Dew!"
"Really?!" Tang San's eyes flashed with excitement.
