Luo Yunli regained her senses and frowned at her.

She always felt that the Lin Mansion was different from before.

On the other side, the head of the Lu family originally intended to come and see the scenery before leaving, but Lin Chen insisted on keeping him here. Until this matter was resolved, he would not let him leave.

Because Lin Chen was well aware that if he were to invite him again, it would probably not be easy for him to come.

This old fox was slippery and cunning.

The head of the Zhou family didn't need to force him, he voluntarily chose to stay.

He also noticed that the spiritual energy in this courtyard was abundant, making it a good place for cultivation.

"Dad, now you should understand what I mean, right? Lin Chen really wants to establish his own sect." Zhou Zhuqing sat beside the head of the Zhou family and spoke seriously.

The head of the Zhou family smiled at Zhou Zhuqing's appearance and then said lightly, "Actually, this is not a big deal within the immortal sect. Besides the major sects, there are also many small sects in the immortal sect. It's not a problem. But I see that you seem to want to support him, right?"

"Dad, I just feel that Lin Chen is different from ordinary people." Zhou Zhuqing leaned against her father's shoulder and whispered, "This time when we went hunting in the divine and demon border, I understood one thing. We, the children of aristocratic families, are nothing more than cannon fodder in the hands of those major sects. In their eyes, we are born lowly and stupid because our talents, spiritual roots, and cultivation levels are not good. They use us as bait, letting us go ahead and be cannon fodder, they don't care about our lives, they only care about their own affairs. In the end, they are the ones who are high and mighty, while we are nothing more than groveling dogs on the ground."

"This time, if it weren't for Lin Chen, I wouldn't have been able to come back alive. Father, if we attach ourselves to other sects, we would only be given the opportunity to be bait. It's better to follow Lin Chen. At least he won't let me be cannon fodder. No matter what happens, he will fight alongside us." Zhou Zhuqing directly expressed her inner thoughts.

But the head of the Zhou family shook his head, looking straight at her and smiling, "Are you sure it's just because of these reasons?"

"Father?" Zhou Zhuqing was a little puzzled, but after meeting her father's ambiguous gaze, she immediately understood his meaning and her face turned red. "Father!"

These two words "Father" made the head of the Zhou family understand everything.

He smiled and then whispered, "These years, we have supported Eternal Immortal Sect with a lot of money, so it's not a matter of guilt. Let's consider it as paying protection fees. If you think Eternal Immortal Sect is not worth it, then give the money to Lin Chen. After all, he is not an outsider."

During this period of time, the head of the Zhou family had been observing Lin Chen, so he also knew that seeking refuge with Lin Chen was the most reliable option. Although Lin Chen was not as powerful as Eternal Immortal Sect at the moment, as long as these children below him grew up, the situation would be different. Twenty years was just a blink of an eye. How could they not wait?

"Father, after you go back, select some talented children to send over. The spiritual treasures and resources here are inexhaustible, so I think it would be a good thing for our Zhou family's children to cultivate here."

"Now, the women of the Zhou family are in charge of several factions' cultivation. Zhou Yuan is in charge of the Wood faction, and Zhou Ran is in charge of the Water faction. They are both promising talents and have made rapid progress."

Zhou Zhuqing had been staying in the Lin family for so long and wanted to see some real things. She wasn't a fool.

Upon hearing her daughter's words, the head of the Zhou family naturally became more interested.

"However, you still need to ask Lin Chen and see if he is willing."

"Yes, I was thinking of discussing it with you first and then going to find Lin Chen."

Because Zhou Zhuqing believed that Lin Chen would most likely agree.

Seeing that his daughter was now capable of planning things, the head of the Zhou family felt relieved. "Qing'er, have you thought about how to handle Zhou Yun'er's matter?"

"We can't intervene in Zhou Yun'er's situation anymore. Father wants to know how her parents should handle it. I'll go ask Lin Chen about it." Zhou Zhuqing smiled.

He stood up and walked towards the door.

The head of the Zhou family shook his head. "He claims it's for my sake, but he's just finding excuses to see her, isn't he?"

Lin Chen sat in the study, studying the new martial arts technique he had acquired.

He was now a medium-level dual spiritual root cultivator, capable of using both water and wood elemental techniques.

This Spring after Withered Wood and Ice Soul Divine Art have similarities. If they can be integrated, their power will surely increase.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of eager footsteps outside the door.

He immediately stopped meditating and just as he sat down, he saw Zhou Zhuqing push open the door and walk in.

"The whole Lin Mansion is bustling, and you're hiding here all by yourself. It's quite peaceful, isn't it?"

"Is that so? What are they discussing?"

Lin Chen smiled and looked at her.

Zhou Zhuqing didn't know what had come over her. She had never been shy when interacting with Lin Chen before.

But now, seeing him smile, she blushed a little.

"I came to talk to you about Zhou Yun'er. She's definitely going to die, but she brought it upon herself. Who can she blame?"

Lin Chen took a sip of tea and looked at her. "So you came rushing to find me, probably for Zhou Yun'er's parents, right?"

"Although it's true that raising such a daughter brings no merit, they're old and still have two young daughters at home. What do you think...?" Zhou Zhuqing sighed. "Should they be implicated as well?"

Lin Chen chuckled and said lightly, "We're not evil cultivators, why bother implicating them? The two elderly have already lost their daughter, isn't that pitiful enough? Why make things difficult for them?"

"But if they stay in Maple City, it will probably be even more difficult. Besides, they're getting older, and the young daughters don't have much talent. It's better to send them away and let them live an ordinary life." Lin Chen had also arranged a future for them.

Zhou Zhuqing knew that Lin Chen was a kind person, but she was curious. "How do you know that the two young daughters don't have much talent?"

"If they had talent, how could they have ended up in such a miserable state? They wouldn't have had to force their daughter, who already had a partner, into my courtyard, right?" Lin Chen laughed.

It was because Zhou Yun'er was their last hope that they disregarded her own wishes and forced her to come here.

"Zhou Yun'er is going to be executed soon. Bring her parents over to see their daughter." Lin Chen took another sip of tea.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhuqing hesitated. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, it's only natural." Lin Chen looked at Zhou Zhuqing. "You obviously have something else to say to me. Speak up."

"What are your plans for Zhou Yun'er's daughter?" Zhou Zhuqing asked cautiously, looking at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen shrugged. "I think you may have misunderstood something. That is not Zhou Yun'er's daughter, but my precious jewel, Lin Chen's treasure. Since she's mine, I will naturally take good care of her."
