Sad?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>_1 Lin Chen laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who has sent you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yingying clung to Lin Chen’s arm and said with a pout, “It’s my dad’s order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he not react when you managed to topple the Shenyun Sect on your own without getting into any trouble yourself?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen joked, “Oh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he sent you here to pick me up because he wants to treat me to dinner?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yingying smiled, “He did think about it, but he didn’t have the guts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you clashed with the Shenyun Sect, my dad chose to stay away from you and just watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s regretting it now, as he missed a perfect opportunity to give timely help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So now all he can do is patching things up by using his daughter to gain favor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s exaggerating.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen laughed, “Even if I was a Grandmaster, I wouldn’t warrant such a reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Zuo Family is the richest one in Tianhai.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yingying laughed, “Being the richest is only a superficial title in reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are plenty of wealthier people in Tianhai Province than my family, especially the Three Sects and Four Clans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the Shenyun Sect you were up against, they monopolize countless industries in Shenyun City and have influence far and wide…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen arrived at the car, tossed his bag into the trunk, and said with a smile, “Well, your dad’s approach wasn’t wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I mean, considering that I wasn’t even an Innate Grandmaster yet, how could I possibly have fought against the Shenyun Sect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staying away from me was the logical thing to do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yingying smiled, “But the Xu Family, Wei Family, and Leng Family all chose to support you this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They might not have actively helped, but at least they made their stance clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My dad worries that you might resent them, and target the Zuo Family in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he hurriedly sent me, his precious daughter, to appease you to prevent any potential harm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should I be happy or sad about this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen said with a casual laugh, “I’m not that petty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have no grudge against the Zuo Family, so why would I target them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your dad is worrying over nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yingying stared intensely at Lin Chen’s face in admiration, as if looking at a piece of artwork.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haven’t you seen something like this before?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yingying chuckled, “I’m just admiring a handsome guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just feel a little bit disappointed that I didn’t witness you show off your power in person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My brother told me about it — it was so awesome of you to make an Innate Grandmaster kneel and apologize!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen laughed, “I just saw through her illness and took advantage of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she hadn’t been sick, and I had acted this arrogantly, I would probably have been killed on the spot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yingying curiously asked, “Is there a huge difference in power between a Grandmaster and an Innate Grandmaster?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen nodded, “Definitely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yun was held back by her physical condition, so she couldn’t fight with her full strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, her casual attacks were enough to make me spit blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she had been healthy and fought at her full capacity, I wouldn’t have been able to hold off even one of her attacks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yingying sighed, “It seems that the difference in power between realm levels is incomparable indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder the Zhu Family can walk around Linhai unchallenged with Zhu Zi’an, and the Shenyun Sect is so arrogant because they have more than one Innate Grandmaster.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen laughed, “Well, now that the Zhu Family has lost their Grandmaster, the other families in Linhai don’t have to remain under their control.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yingying nodded, “That indeed is good news for other Linhai families, and they all have you to thank for it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen replied with a carefree smile, “I only dealt with Zhu Zi’an because I wanted to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It has nothing to do with anyone else, and whether they’re grateful doesn’t matter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car arrived at the Chu Family Villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lin Chen and Chu Jiaxue moved back in, they left the hotel for good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Chu Jiaxue left, Lin Chen lived here alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with no one at home, he didn’t bother to cook, only going to sleep and eating out when needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, have you and Jiaxue been sleeping separately since you moved back here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen glanced at Zuo Yingying, “Aren’t you quite the gossip?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yingying smiled, “I’m just curious, and I care about you too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And to be honest, I’ve been curious about how things will turn out between you, Jiaxue, and Xiaoxi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen laughed, “Well, Jiaxue and I haven’t crossed the line.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yingying smiled, “That much is obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you guys had slept together, there wouldn’t be such a complicated situation now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lin Chen was about to respond, his mobile phone rang suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Bat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed to his phone for Zuo Yingying and then walked to the side with the phone, answering the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bat chuckled, “Brother Jun, indeed Chu Tianyu is in the Liu Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Jun, care to guess what Chu Tianyu did to be accepted by the Liu Family?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he was there!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen wasn’t afraid of Chu Tianyu relying on a powerful family, but he was worried that Chu Tianyu would hide and secretly retaliate against his loved ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did he do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swear loyalty to his new parents?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bat laughed, “Not by swearing loyalty, but by actually gaining new parents.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen inquired with confusion, “What happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bat was ecstatic, “This kid, in order to be accepted by the Liu Family, married the Liu Family’s daughter, Miss Liu Yanyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yanyan weighs at least 400 pounds!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1002,"2026-06-06T01:51:32.142Z",1,"novelbin.me","2b3f78efb7d1fb2e37fc200b398a7ee42ce366d06a4ec3be3741a0f6fe56a593","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-377","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-375",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
