"I actually had something for you, but since you seem to think I’m an eyesore here, I’ll just leave."
Lin Chen looked at Zhao Lingxi’s pugnacious manner and said somewhat helplessly.
Lin Chen knew how arduous it was to manage the Jade Cauldron Sect’s commercial affairs and internal disputes, so he let Zhao Lingxi vent her anger and didn’t hold it against her.
"You can go, but leave the thing."
Zhao Lingxi walked up to Lin Chen, her face cold, and snatched the ring from his hand.
"This... So many spirit stones and resources."
Zhao Lingxi’s divine soul probed into the ring, her lips revealing a hint of a smile.
Seeing Zhao Lingxi’s sudden change of expression, Lin Chen was even more speechless. This girl was truly money-faced, changing her demeanor at the drop of a hat.
Zhao Lingxi was very satisfied with the resources in the space ring given to her by Lin Chen because according to the consumption of the Jade Cauldron Sect, these resources and spirit stones could support the Sect for ten years, provided that Lin Chen didn’t expand the city further.
Zhao Lingxi quickly put on the space ring, guarding it like a thief as she watched Lin Chen.
Lin Chen shook his head and left the commerce guild. Upon exiting, he ran into Zhao Yuntian and paid his respects, as Zhao Lingxi was his daughter and merited respect due to her status as an elder. Lin Chen naturally showed respect for all Zhao Lingxi had done for the Jade Cauldron Sect. For origınal chapters go to novelꞁire.net
Zhao Yuntian also paid respects to Lin Chen until he left. Then Zhao Yuntian approached Zhao Lingxi.
"Lingxi, why do you treat Young Master Lin Chen ? He’s accommodating you out of affection, but you can’t be too willful. Such a temperament could lead you to remaining unmarried in the future."
Zhao Yuntian lectured Zhao Lingxi.
Zhao Lingxi’s face flushed red.
"Dad, what are you talking about? Who wants to marry that guy?"
Zhao Lingxi said, embarrassed, but a trace of longing flashed in her eyes.
Zhao Yuntian, of course, noticed it.
"Forget it, I won’t interfere in the affairs of you young people. However, you do need to change this temper of yours,"
Zhao Lingxi clearly understood the implication, but she had her reasons for behaving this way.
If she remained as demure as before, she and Lin Chen might not even exchange a few words.
Now, at least she could talk to Lin Chen more and have more opportunities.
Otherwise, that blockhead Lin Chen might never realize her feelings.
At this moment, Lin Chen had just left the Lingxi Commerce Guild and intended to return to his residence for cultivation when he suddenly sensed a strong aura coming from the direction of the northern city gate of Cloud Sky City; evidently, it was the presence of a Nirvana Realm expert.
Lin Chen’s expression changed, and he thought that Red Soul Hall could no longer restrain itself and had sent a Nirvana Realm expert.
The aura, though not as formidable as Xue Yuanqing’s, was still approximately a Fourth Level Nirvana Realm cultivation, still posing a tremendous threat to Cloud Sky City.
Lin Chen immediately flew towards the northern city gate.
At the same time, the powerhouses of Cloud Sky City also sensed this aura and soared towards the northern city gate.
Xu Ma’an, Yang Yuemin, Li Hanyi, Li Xuanming, Zhao Jingyi, Xu Lianyu, Zhao Yuntian, and others, as strong figures within Cloud Sky City, naturally wouldn’t sit idly by.
At this instant, a middle-aged man in a blood-red robe glanced at the not-so-large city before him with disdain in his eyes.
To him, the city was simply a new Sect that had carved out a state for itself, merely a Second-Rank Vassal State and a second-tier power, not even on par with the Six Great Superpowers of the Divine Flame Alliance. Yet Red Soul Hall had actually sent him to deal with this city.
Yan Zixuan found this to be an insult to him.
Not only had Red Soul Hall sent him, but they had also assigned three Nirvana Realm First Level subordinates to assist him and bestowed upon him the Red Soul Hall’s treasure the Blood Soul Umbrella, instructing him to annihilate the city at all costs.
Yan Zixuan didn’t understand why the seemingly insignificant city housed a force that Red Soul Hall was so apprehensive of.
Armed with such a treasure and accompanied by three Nirvana Realm First Level experts, along with the Red Soul Hall’s army and the Dark Demon Race’s strength, it seemed more than sufficient to handle this city.
Nevertheless, Yan Zixuan was aware that the city had previously caused significant losses to Red Soul Hall’s forces, supposedly falling to their coordinated defenses, killing formations, and talisman inscriptions.
He was curious about the Jade Cauldron Sect and didn’t believe that anyone within this small city surpassed him in spiritual formations.
"You three, just watch the show obediently. I alone am enough to obliterate this city,"
Yan Zixuan, holding the Blood Soul Umbrella, sneered arrogantly.
The other three serving as support for Yan Zixuan looked uneasy. They dared not bear the responsibility for the mission’s failure, yet they also dared not offend Yan Zixuan.
