Li Wensong Dismissed

The Qian Xiuzhu brothers exchanged a glance, thinking they were just supposed to come along and show off the might of the first batch of chess pieces.

"Okay! We'll do as Brother Song says!"

Li Wensong nodded, and he decisively took the Qian Xiuzhu brothers and left the place. When he appeared outside the domain, Cang Ru and the Heavenly Dao were already waiting for them there.

Jin Lin was among them!

The person Li Wensong needed to bring when he went to see Chen Lingling this time was not the Qian Xiuzhu brothers. The two brothers were just Eternal Realm people who followed him and gave him courage. Jin Lin was the key person he needed to persuade Chen Lingling to join their ranks!

Jin Lin looked at Li Wensong and asked, "What do you need me for?"

She didn't know why Li Wensong wanted to see her, and besides, Li Wensong didn't contact her first. Li Wensong immediately sent a telepathic message to Cang Ru Cang Ru, telling her to wait for him outside the realm.

Li Wensong said, "Later I will take you to the Five Lakes Continent to see Chen Lingling, whom you have been longing to see."

Jin Lin's eyes widened. "Senior Chen is on the Five Lakes Continent?"

Normally, she and Chen Lingling had agreed to meet six months ago. Now, several months had passed since their agreed meeting time, and she hadn't seen Chen Lingling arrive yet. She wondered if Chen Lingling had encountered some trouble.

Hearing that Chen Lingling was already on the Five Lakes Continent, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Wensong nodded. "Yes, I'm currently meeting with your sister Lianxin. Before I go, I need to tell you what I need you to do later. This is very important!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Lin became serious and nodded.

Li Wensong blurted out everything he wanted to do.

First and foremost, it's about building a good relationship with Chen Lingling. So, there's one thing to deal with here: Jin Lin has already formed a contract with Lu Qing'an.

Chen Lingling might be upset about this.

Jin Lin needs to play a significant role in this.

The second step is to make Chen Lingling realize that she is also a pawn, and to make her accept it willingly.

That's the real challenge.

They need to do everything they can, and even improvise, to make Chen Lingling make the right choice!

Upon hearing that Chen Lingling was also a pawn of their master, Jin Lin's eyes widened considerably, and she quickly nodded, "Okay! I will definitely cooperate with you!"

"Okay! I might send you a telepathic message later. Listen carefully and do as I say!" Li Wensong instructed.

He wasn't sure if things would go as he expected, and if anything unexpected happened, he would have to improvise.

After discussing the matter, Li Wensong looked at Cang Ru and asked her and the Cang Ru Heavenly Dao activate the continent's teleportation ability to directly teleport the four of them to the Five Lakes Continent.

A moment later, the four of them were teleported and appeared outside the Five Lakes Continent in the blink of an eye!

"We're here! Let's go inside!"

The Five Lakes Continent is part of the Eight Heavens Continent, and even those at the Mid Eternal Realm can freely enter it.

When Li Wensong and his companions entered the Five Lakes Continent, Lianxin, who was in a secluded garden in the center of the Five Lakes Continent, sensed their arrival. She was chatting with Chen Lingling with a smile when she decisively used her Heavenly Dao powers to teleport the four of them to the garden.

"Who's here?" Chen Lingling instantly sensed the arrival of the four people, smiled at Lianxin, and asked.

Lianxin smiled and said, "You know one of them; it's Jin Lin, the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Continent. As for the other three, you may or may not have met them."

Chen Lingling laughed and said, "Jin Lin, what brings her here? She's quite something, managing to get involved with you, fellow Daoist."

Looking at Chen Lingling's smile, Lianxin felt that the smile wasn't quite harmonious.

Her relationship with Chen Lingling was actually just so-so; they had only met twice, so she knew almost nothing about Chen Lingling.

Before long, Li Wensong and his three companions came into Lianxin and her companion's view.

As soon as Li Wensong arrived, he looked at Chen Lingling.

Her exquisite figure was draped in a simple white, flowing dress with wide sleeves, the hem of which was embroidered with silver cloud patterns. When she moved, she seemed to carry frost and snow, aloof and solitary.

Her black hair was half-tied into a drooping bun, with a jade hairpin hanging askew beside her temple.

Her eyebrows were like distant mountains shrouded in mist, her eyes like deep pools reflecting the moon, and her lips, though pale, seemed to be tempered with ice. Her beauty was sharp yet unassuming, especially the three-dimensional smile at the corners of her lips, which gave the impression that it was difficult to discern her thoughts.

Is this Chen Lingling? She's at the Mid Eternal Realm!

Li Wensong stepped forward with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, it's good to meet you."

Chen Lingling only glanced at Li Wensong briefly. She didn't give a second look to someone at the Peak Sovereign Realm, and she even ignored Li Wensong when he greeted her.

After glancing past Li Wensong, she looked at the Qian Xiuzhu brothers a couple of times. She did give these two Early Eternal Realm cultivators a second look, but that was all.

She mainly looked at Jin Lin, and even smiled and raised her chin at Jin Lin as a greeting.

Li Wensong paused slightly when he saw that Chen Lingling was ignoring him.

It seems Chen Lingling is a bit arrogant. It's alright, she's only in the Mid Eternal Realm. She just doesn't take me, her number one pawn, seriously at first, but she will soon.

Seeing this, Lianxin stood up with a smile, "Brother Song, you've arrived?"

Lianxin's attitude towards Li Wensong was in stark contrast to Chen Lingling's. She was well aware of Li Wensong's importance to Lu Qing'an. The three of them, all at the Eternal Realm, addressed Lu Qing'an as "Senior," but Li Wensong was different; he directly called him "Brother Lu"!

This shows that Li Wensong is more important to Lu Qing'an than they are!

Therefore, they fully agreed with Li Wensong's claim that he was the number one pawn, and they were happy to call Li Wensong" brother" when Li Wensong asked them to!

When Chen Lingling saw that Lianxin, a Mid Eternal Realm Heavenly Dao cultivator, was calling a Peak Sovereign Realm "brother," her eyes suddenly narrowed.

What's going on?

This really caught her completely off guard!

Although she, a Mid Eternal Realm, came from the Nine Heavens Continent, her status wasn't much higher than that of a Mid Eternal Realm Heavenly Dao. She even had to be polite to Lianxin.

Now look what's happened!

Lianxin actually treated Li Wensong like this!

Who is this Peak Sovereign Realm? Could they be someone of extremely high status?

Li Wensong smiled and nodded, "No need for that, please continue sitting."

Lianxin nodded and said, "Everyone, please take your seats!"

Qian Xiuzhu and the other two smiled at Lianxin, called her "Sister Lianxin," and then sat down with Li Wensong.

At this moment, Jin Lin called out to Chen Lingling, "Senior Chen, long time no see!"

Chen Lingling immediately sent a telepathic message to Jin Lin: "What is the identity of this Peak Sovereign Realm person who came with you?"

This piqued her curiosity.
