357: Why Did You Provoke Them for No Reason?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>_1 “Beihe Resort?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen looked around and laughed, “This is set up like a high-end business conference…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hou Jihu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, “Although cultivators are not a secret and everyone knows about them, such gatherings still need to be held away from ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding them in vacation hotels or summer resorts is naturally the most suitable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two were talking at the entrance of the hotel, a black limousine stopped in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three women they had met on the train got out of the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hou Jihu’s face changed, “The three people you mentioned before, are they them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen nodded, “Do you know them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hou Jihu whispered, “The oldest one is Elder Zhang Yun of Shenyun Sect, an Innate Grandmaster…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the three women walked towards them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hou Jihu seemed to worry about being overheard, so he closed his mouth and showed a respectful look on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged woman looked at Lin Chen, frowned, and hesitated, “Whose family do you belong to?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen smiled and said, “No sect, no school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am here to gain some experience.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hou Jihu hurriedly introduced himself, “Elder Zhang, nice to meet you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am Hou Jihu, responsible for the southwest area of Baiyao Gate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yun nodded coldly without talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged woman quickly helped her into the hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, they didn’t take Hou Jihu seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold arrogant girl walked up to Lin Chen, looked him up and down, and sneered, “You came with him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen nodded honestly, “Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold arrogant girl sneered, “Then you should thank me for finding you a good spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, you wouldn’t even qualify to enter here…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen frowned but said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen originally had no affection for Shenyun Sect because of Pei Shanming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now encountering these three arrogant women, his inner disgust grew, naturally not wanting to deal with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold arrogant girl sensed Lin Chen’s displeasure, her eyes changed, and she walked toward Lin Chen with a cold face, “Oh, it seems like you’re not convinced…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhiyan, let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice of the middle-aged woman sounded from inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold arrogant girl stopped in her tracks, pointed at Lin Chen, and said, “If you have the guts, don’t leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the sentence, the cold arrogant girl turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hou Jihu whispered, “Shenyun Sect is the local tyrant here, they’re used to being domineering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did you provoke them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now you’ve caught their attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why don’t you skip this event, and leave while they are not available?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, they don’t know your background…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen said with a laugh, “I gave up my seat for them, it’s helping them out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shouldn’t they thank me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People should always speak reason.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hou Jihu bitterly laughed, “Cultivators, care about fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stronger the fist, the more reasonable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen changed the subject, “Baiyao Gate seems to be doing a big business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why do I feel like they don’t give you much face?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hou Jihu explained, “We’re not the only ones doing the medicinal materials business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We are suppliers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the suppliers are not monopolies, their status will naturally not be as strong as the buyers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shenyun Sect indeed has a demand for medicinal materials, however, from a supply and demand perspective, they are naturally more powerful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen laughed, “That’s too real.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hou Jihu laughed, “That’s the reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m no different from a sales manager who goes to the market with material suppliers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of these are potential customers and must not be offended…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hou Jihu changed the topic back to the matter at hand and sincerely suggested, “Seriously, why don’t you leave first and avoid the trouble they might cause you later?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they won’t kill you, they might humiliate you and beat you up in public, which is completely unnecessary.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen smiled, “Three Sects and Four Clans, it’s not Shenyun Sect’s decision here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No problem, since I’m here, I have to gain some insights before leaving…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling helpless, Hou Jihu warned, “Then you keep your eyes open and avoid them as much as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t confront them directly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hou Jihu helped Lin Chen with check-in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen and Hou Jihu stayed in a standard room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After giving Lin Chen some advice, Hou Jihu went to visit clients and busied himself with his business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen decided to take a walk by himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the resort was huge, it has been completely blocked for this event, refusing outside access.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only cultivators were allowed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen, having no friends to visit and nothing to do, followed the walking path deep into the resort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he strolled around, Lin Chen came across a small building against a mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far from the building was a small waterfall, with clear streams and lush vegetation, creating a very pleasant scenery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A baby’s laughter caught Lin Chen’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen glanced to the side and was suddenly startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the railing of the building’s terrace, a little girl about three years old was eagerly trying to squeeze her body through the railings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Lin Chen saw her, more than half of her body had already come out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen instinctively started to run towards the bottom of the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lin Chen had reached the bottom, the little girl’s body had completely squeezed through the railing, and she suddenly tilted, falling straight down towards the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah!”\u003C\u002Fp>",942,"2026-06-06T01:51:32.142Z",1,"novelbin.me","c7dbf4fdd78e817425f2cc88575ba0666d330d744f451d0e448bef09ac1496b2","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-338","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-336",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
