otherwise, we wouldn’t know how much effort it would’ve taken.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen smiled and replied, “No need to be polite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, I also want to go down and see who left that building.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen used Su Yanran’s gratitude to suggest he should go down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the three were somewhat reluctant, the plan was Lin Chen’s idea and had now borne fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excluding him would obviously be unjust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lin Chen had been an ordinary person, they could have excluded him without worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was associated with True Person Tai Xu—no one dared offend that status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s danger in the water;

a spark of Spirit Light flashed through, and his eyes suddenly widened in shocked disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This shape…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>did it not look like a sword?\u003C\u002Fp>",924,"2026-06-06T01:52:26.771Z",1,"novelbin.me","51fac8d4a3dba88cd22be124333ce59f56be809f3610bd7a4cd4bb7b042d1811","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-2243","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-2241",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
