Chapter 577: Flower Clan Visitors

"Murong Yan, your brain is better than Zhuge's."

Lin Chen landed gracefully in the courtyard and looked at Murong Yan with a smile.

"Better than Zhuge?"

Murong Yan raised her beautiful eyes, feeling a bit confused.

Seeing Murong Yan's confused expression, Lin Chen remembered that there was no such person as Zhuge Liang on Canglan Island, and Murong Yan didn't understand what he meant.

"In my hometown, there was a person of supreme intelligence with the surname Zhuge. Anyone who is praised for being clever is called 'Better than Zhuge' or 'Little Zhuge'."

"Does your hometown have such a person? How come I don't know?"

"How could you know about people from my hometown?"

Lin Chen answered subconsciously. When he saw Murong Yan's resentful gaze, he instantly reacted. With Murong Yan's personality, she hadn't just investigated him; she had likely investigated everything about Poyang County and even the entire Raozhou Prefecture clearly.

"I can confirm that in the three hundred years of history of Raozhou Prefecture, there has never been a person of supreme intelligence named Zhuge."

Murong Yan said softly. When she investigated Lin Chen, she had specifically investigated the entire Raozhou Prefecture, and even checked which powerful martial artists had existed in Raozhou Prefecture over the last three hundred years. There was no one with the surname Zhuge.

"Ahem, that's not important. In any case, you just need to know that this is a compliment to you."

Lin Chen directly chose to skip the topic. Su Qin, who was on the side, saw that Lin Chen had finished talking with her princess, and only then did she bow: "Greetings, Prince Consort."

When Su Qin called him Prince Consort, Lin Chen's expression became strange. Sister Jiang was a Flower Clan princess, and Murong Yan was also a princess, so calling him Prince Consort was fine.

It was just that Su Qin used to call him Young Master Lin, and now she suddenly changed it to "Prince Consort." She must have been stimulated.

"I suppose the Prince Consort and the Princess still have things to discuss. I will withdraw first."

After Su Qin said "Prince Consort," she walked out of the courtyard with great tact.

"Qin Gu is worried about me. Don't hold it against her."

Murong Yan stepped forward and took Lin Chen's hand, lifting her head slightly to look at him. Lin Chen smiled: "Why would I hold it against her? You are the Princess of Yan, so calling me Prince Consort is normal."

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Murong Yan didn't continue the topic. She and Lin Chen had already been open and honest with each other many times, so there was no need for such politeness.

Although there was a powerful competitor like Jiang Qing, Murong Yan had confidence in herself. Perhaps in Lin Chen's heart, Jiang Qing's status was more important than hers, but it was definitely not because Jiang Qing was a Flower Clan princess; it was just because Jiang Qing had known Lin Chen earlier than she had.

But she believed that when it came to understanding Lin Chen, Jiang Qing was not as good as her. Just like seeing the look in Lin Chen's eyes right now, she knew what this man was thinking.

"Hold me."

Murong Yan blinked her beautiful eyes and leaned into Lin Chen's chest. As her eyes flowed, she had the unique charm of a young woman.

This man had just experienced a great battle at the Wan Wan Huozong Sect and was in need of comfort.

Everything was understood without words, only the tree branches blown by the breeze and the woman's eyebrows knitted in pain.

……

……

After the clouds and rain had passed, Lin Chen did not get up immediately but lay on the bed, looking at Murong Yan, who had fallen into a deep sleep beside him. He gently covered her snow-white skin, which was exposed as her clothes slipped down.

Murong Yan understood him very well. Although he seemed to have suffered no great loss during this encounter at the Wan Wan Huozong Sect, it had indeed made his nerves tense. This was the first time he had discovered that he could not decide his own fate.

If Grand Elder Yin had not appeared, he would likely have perished at the Wan Wan Huozong Sect.

Along the way, facing Grand Elder Yin, Grand Elder Ye, and his own master, he had acted as if he were unaffected, but only he knew how tightly his nerves had been stretched, and only now had they completely relaxed!

Murong Yan had clearly discovered this, which was why she had taken the initiative to let him vent in this way.

"What's wrong?"

The woman was startled awake, her arms lifted, and the quilt that had been covering her slipped down once again. Her voice carried the laziness of just waking up, and she looked at Lin Chen with sleepy eyes. This sight of a beauty just waking up made Lin Chen restless again...

"Hmm, woo~"

……

……

For the next few days, Lin Chen lived at the Qingfeng Residence and began to study the fire seal seed left by the founder of the Wan Wan Huozong Sect.

This fire seal seed was not in his dantian but existed between his eyebrows. However, no matter if he used the innate fire in his body to communicate with it or used the Canglan Pupil, this fire seal seed remained completely motionless.

"Lin Chen, what's wrong?"

Murong Yan looked at Lin Chen, who was standing in the courtyard frowning, and asked curiously.

"The fire seal left by the founder of the Wan Wan Huozong Sect cannot be triggered at all."

Regarding Murong Yan, Lin Chen did not hide the fact that he had obtained the inheritance of the Wan Wan Huozong Sect's founder, and even told her about the fire seal.

"I can't give you any advice on martial arts, or perhaps you could ask your master."

"Master can't give any advice either."

Lin Chen shook his head: "On the way back, the Grand Elder told me that the path taken by the founder of the Wan Wan Huozong Sect had never been walked by anyone before. How to proceed from here can only be explored by myself. Even if the founder of the Wan Wan Huozong Sect were reborn, he likely couldn't give an answer."

Lin Chen agreed with the Grand Elder's judgment. The path of condensing the fire seal had not been completed by the founder of the Wan Wan Huozong Sect, and the founder did not want to affect him, so he only passed on a fire seal seed and nothing else.

The hardest step of condensing the fire seal had been solved. As for how to proceed, it depended on his own opportunities; he could not copy the martial arts path taken by the founder of the Wan Wan Huozong Sect.

"If that's the case, I think you can try entering the Heaven-Reaching Tower. Didn't you say that the opportunities inside the Heaven-Reaching Tower are given according to your situation? Perhaps this time, because you have the fire seal, the opportunity given to you will be related to the fire seal." ===== CHAPTER 578 =====
