Chapter 225

Canglan Wu Yuan!

It covers a vast area, and the Canglan Mountain Range behind it is all the territory of the Canglan Wu Yuan.

The outer buildings, including the martial arts arena and the Martial Way Pavilion, are all functional, while all the disciples live at the foot of the mountain peaks in the mountain range.

As a disciple taught personally by the Dean, Lin Chen's dormitory is under Canglan Peak.

In the entire Canglan Peak, only he and the Dean live there.

Coming out of the main hall, it took Lin Chen half an hour just to walk to Canglan Peak; one can imagine the size of the Wu Yuan.

A detached courtyard—this is Lin Chen's dormitory.

It is not only Lin Chen who has the treatment of a detached courtyard. Those who can enter the Wu Yuan are all genius disciples of Daliang, and the Wu Yuan is not short of space or wood to build courtyards, so every student lives in a separate detached courtyard.

The courtyard of the detached residence is very large, with a small martial arts arena paved with bluestone slabs. On the side against the wall, the weapon rack is filled with weapons. The other half of the courtyard has a stone table, which is for the resident to entertain guests.

After putting down his luggage, Lin Chen didn't stay in the courtyard for long before going out.

He wanted to find Jiang Jiang Shijie. Jiang Jiang Shijie came to the Wu Yuan earlier than him and didn't need to pass the assessment. Just now he asked the Dean, and Jiang Jiang Shijie is taught by Vice Dean Chen.

The instructor of his father-in-law at the Canglan Wu Yuan back then was Vice Dean Chen.

The mountain where Vice Dean Chen is located is Pei Qingming Peak, which is some distance from Canglan Peak.

After going down the foot of the mountain and walking for a while, Lin Chen found that he was a bit lost.

The Wu Yuan is too big, and unlike his previous life, there are no signs at the intersections to guide where to go.

Fortunately, he walked up to a Wu Yuan disciple, and Lin Chen asked: "This Lin Lin Shixiong, may I ask which way to Pei Qingming Peak?"

"Pei Qingming Peak?" The young man was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time for him to react: "You mean the Fifth Peak, right? Keep walking in this direction, and the fourth mountain peak is Pei Qingming Peak."

"Thank you, Lin Lin Shixiong."

"Are you a Lin Lin Shidi from the new batch?"

Seeing Lin Chen's puzzled expression, the young man smiled and explained: "We old-timers all refer to the peaks by numbers. Canglan Peak is the First Peak, and Pei Qingming Peak is the fifth one, so it's called the Fifth Peak. There are nineteen peaks in the entire Canglan Wu Yuan. If you try to remember the names, you'll get them mixed up. Only you new disciples would call the peaks by their real names."

Lin Chen suddenly realized. No wonder Lin Lin Shixiong Qu told him earlier that he was on the Seventh Peak, and he had flipped through the Wu Yuan map in the courtyard for a long time without seeing where the Seventh Peak was.

"Lin Lin Shidi entered the Wu Yuan directly with a disciple letter. How should I address you?"

As an old student of the Wu Yuan, the young man knew very well that those who could enter the Wu Yuan at this time were all geniuses whose instructors had personally gone to deliver the disciple letters.

"Lin Chen."

"Lin Chen... Good name... You are Lin Chen?"

The young man subconsciously gave a routine response, but halfway through, he suddenly remembered something, and his gaze scanned Lin Chen's body as if he were sizing up a beauty.

"So you are Lin Lin Shidi. Your name spread throughout the entire Wu Yuan a month ago."

The old students of the Canglan Wu Yuan are all in the Organ Cultivation Stage and may not necessarily care about matters in the Open-Acupuncture Stage—who left their name on the Martial Way Mountain, etc. Unless they have had contact with the outside world, staying in the courtyard, they might not necessarily know.

But since it was hung on the happy news report in front of the Wu Yuan gate, there would always be disciples who saw it, and if disciples saw it, it would spread in the disciple circle.

The disciples of the Canglan Wu Yuan all know what it means to leave one's name on the Martial Way Mountain seven times!

Because of this, all the old disciples were very curious about Lin Chen, who was about to arrive at the Wu Yuan, and the young man didn't expect that the first new Lin Lin Shidi he met would be Lin Chen.

"I just happened to achieve some accomplishments; compared to you Senior Brothers, it's nothing." Lin Chen said modestly.

"If these accomplishments of yours are nothing, then we are even less than nothing. The Martial Way speaks with strength; Lin Lin Shidi doesn't need to be overly modest."

The young man smiled and glanced at the direction Lin Chen came from: "Where does Lin Lin Shidi live?"

"Canglan Peak."

"The First Peak?"

Although he had some guesses in his heart, when he got the confirmed answer from Lin Chen, the young man was still a bit shocked and envious.

Taught personally by the Dean—this is something that has never happened in the Wu Yuan. Lin Lin Shidi can be said to have broken a record of the Wu Yuan as soon as he entered.

However, thinking of the potential Lin Lin Shidi showed in the Martial Way, the slight jealousy in the young man's heart disappeared.

Lin Lin Shidi's potential is worthy of being taught personally by the Dean.

……

……

Bidding farewell to this Lin Lin Shixiong, Lin Chen walked to the Fifth Peak: Pei Qingming Peak.

At the foot of Pei Qingming Peak, there are ten detached courtyards arranged like stars.

"Which one does Jiang Jiang Shijie live in?"

Lin Chen was stumped. He couldn't knock on every door or shout at the top of his lungs, "Jiang Jiang Shijie, where are you?"

Fortunately, there were quite a few people at the foot of this Fifth Peak, and he saw several Senior Brothers wandering here, seemingly waiting for someone.

"May I ask this Lin Lin Shixiong..."

Lin Chen walked toward the Lin Lin Shixiong closest to him, but just as he got close, this Lin Lin Shixiong seemed to have seen something and took a step directly behind him.

"Why isn't it a Xiao Xiao Shimei!"

Lin Chen turned his head and saw a woman walking out of a courtyard at the foot of the mountain, and then he heard the Lin Lin Shixiong's sigh of regret.

"Ahem, Lin Lin Shidi, do you have something to say?"

Yu Chen retracted his gaze with a look of regret, only then noticing Lin Chen behind him, and asked: "Are you a new Lin Lin Shidi from this batch? What's the matter?"

"I want to ask..."

"She's out!" But before Lin Chen could finish speaking, Yu Chen's face showed excitement again, and his gaze looked toward the direction of the courtyard in front.

Lin Chen: ……

Looking in the direction of the Lin Lin Shixiong's gaze, Lin Chen saw a white-clothed figure walking out of the courtyard, and seeing this white-clothed figure, he knew he didn't need to ask anymore.

And the several men waiting at this intersection now all began to hold their heads high and chests out, looking at the white-skirted girl walking toward this side with smiles on their faces.

"Xiao Xiao Shimei just arrived at the Wu Yuan. Does she need a Lin Lin Shixiong to take her around the Wu Yuan?"

Yu Chen, standing beside Lin Chen, saw someone take a step ahead to greet the white-clothed girl, and had a look of annoyance on his face—why was he a step late?

"Thank you, Lin Lin Shixiong, but no need."

A cold voice came from the girl's lips. The girl didn't stop her steps, and the man stood there helplessly.

He failed!

It was hard to get a Xiao Xiao Shimei in the Wu Yuan, and such a beautiful one at that. He originally thought that with his handsome appearance, he would definitely be able to win the Xiao Xiao Shimei's heart and leave a beautiful legend of a fairy couple in the Wu Yuan.

But just as he took the first step, he was rejected.

Everyone loves beauty.

The Wu Yuan wouldn't stop this, but those who can enter the Canglan Wu Yuan are all geniuses from various prefectures and even various paths, so naturally, they wouldn't pester.

The white-skirted girl rejected several men who came up to chat one after another. Yu Chen saw the girl walking toward him and showed excitement, then coughed lightly and looked at Lin Chen enthusiastically: "Lin Lin Shidi, if there is anything you need help with from many Senior Brothers, just say it. I am most keen on helping you new Junior Brothers and Sisters."

His voice was very loud, as if he was afraid that people a few feet away wouldn't hear him.

Lin Chen looked at Jiang Jiang Shijie walking over and shook his head: "Lin Lin Shixiong, no need."

"Don't be polite with Lin Lin Shixiong, just say it."

Yu Chen looked at Lin Chen with encouraging eyes: "When I first arrived at the Wu Yuan, I was also very unfamiliar with everything. I also met a Lin Lin Shixiong who took me to get familiar with the Wu Yuan and understand Canglan Prefecture. Although that Lin Lin Shixiong has already left the Wu Yuan, I have inherited this spirit."

"Today I help Lin Lin Shidi, not asking for any reward. When Lin Lin Shidi meets new Junior Brothers in the future and can be as enthusiastically helpful as I am, that will be enough."

Sincere words spilled out, and Yu Chen almost believed them himself.

He is not like those few who don't use their brains. The Xiao Xiao Shimei doesn't know you, so how could you chat her up so easily?

He is different. He is taking care of Junior Brothers and Sisters, helping them. He thinks this Xiao Xiao Shimei will let down her guard and have a good impression of him... By then, he will take the Xiao Xiao Shimei around the Wu Yuan, boating on the East Sea...

"Really don't need it."

Lin Chen's mouth twitched. Good fellow, this Lin Lin Shixiong's face-changing is really fast. A moment ago he didn't even see him standing in front of him, and now he's starting to talk about values.

"The person I'm waiting for has arrived. Thank you for your kindness, Lin Lin Shixiong."

"What do you mean?"

Yu Chen didn't react, but Jiang Qing's crisp voice gave him the answer.

"Lin Lin Shidi, why did you come here?"

Jiang Qing stood with her hands behind her back, looking at Lin Chen with a gentle smile, while Yu Chen on the side was completely ignored.

"Coming here has no purpose, only to relieve lovesickness."

Lin Chen said this off the cuff, and Jiang Qing's cheeks were instantly stained with two blushes. She subconsciously pinched the corner of her clothes, and the girl's shyness was fully revealed.

"It hasn't been long since we last met, and you've become so glib. Have you said this to anyone else?"

"Jiang Jiang Shijie, you've misunderstood me. I've never said this to anyone. If Jiang Jiang Shijie doesn't believe me, you can ask Heaven to distinguish between loyalty and treachery!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Seeing Lin Chen raise his hand, Jiang Qing hurriedly grabbed Lin Chen's hand. The next moment she realized and wanted to take it back, but it was held back by his other hand.

She pulled, but couldn't pull away, so Jiang Qing let Lin Chen hold it.

Crack!

Yu Chen on the side only felt like he heard the sound of his heart breaking.

Some things ended before they even began.

Watching the backs of this Lin Lin Shidi and Xiao Xiao Shimei walking away hand in hand, Yu Chen couldn't help but mutter: "Could it be because I don't know flowery words? 'Coming here has no purpose, only to relieve lovesickness'—I'll remember this."

"Lin Lin Shixiong Yu, don't remember it. When Lin Lin Shidi says it, it's called a love word; if you say it, it's called harassment."

The young man who pointed out the direction for Lin Chen earlier also walked over here, and hearing Yu Chen's words, he couldn't help but interject.

"Why is that?"

Not only Yu Chen, but the other two men who failed to chat her up also looked over.

"This Lin Lin Shidi lives on the First Peak and is taught personally by the Dean."

Hiss!

Yu Chen and the other two gasped, and they understood.

"You said this new Lin Lin Shidi is surnamed Lin—could it be Lin Chen?"

"Besides him, who else could be taught personally by the Dean?"

A rhetorical question left all three silent.

The two men who originally had some thoughts when they saw the new Lin Lin Shidi daring to compete with them for the Xiao Xiao Shimei instantly lost the idea of teaching this ignorant Lin Lin Shidi a lesson.

They couldn't afford to offend him!
