C8 Pursue(2)

But as expected, the Second Elder's rebuke did not appear.

Instead, the Second Elder spoke to him in an amiable manner, "Alright, Lin Chen. You have worked hard today. Let's talk about these matters tomorrow. You should go back and rest early today."

"Oh..." Looking at the Second Elder, who seemed to have changed into a different person, Lin Chen replied somewhat puzzledly.

However, just as he was about to turn around and leave, the Second Elder stopped him once again.

"Right, Lin Chen, don't go back to your shabby hut to sleep tonight. I have someone tidy up a clean room for you. You can stay there from now on."

After saying that, the Second Elder ignored the surprised expression on Lin Chen's face. He waved his hand and asked a servant beside him to bring Lin Chen out of the room.

Soon, under the lead of this servant named Lin Li, the two of them arrived at a quiet courtyard.

This courtyard was located at the back of Lin mansion. It looked rather serene and the bed inside was soft and comfortable. It was many times better than Lin Chen's worn-out little house that he had lived in for more than ten years.

He had never lived in such a good house before. Standing here, Lin Chen felt like he was a god. Lin Chen thought to himself, "It seems like the Second Elder's men are not bad."

"Thank you, Second Elder." Before he could finish his words, Lin Li had already turned around and left. Seeing this, Lin Chen shut his mouth unhappily.

After leaving the small courtyard, Lin Li ran all the way and once again returned to the front of the Second Elder.

"How is that little bastard? Are you suspicious?" Second Elder asked with a gloomy face.

"No." A ferocious smile flashed across Lin Li's face, "Looking at his face, he seems to be very grateful to the Second Elder..."

"Humph." A trace of ferociousness flashed across the Second Elder's face. "Going to the Heavenly Firmament Sect to cultivate and become a disciple of the Heavenly Firmament Sect is no less than ascending to the heavens in a single step. No matter what, I can't let this opportunity go to waste."

"Do you know what to do tonight?"

"Don't worry, Second Elder." A trace of viciousness appeared on Lin Li's face. "This lowly one will definitely complete this matter beautifully."

"En, let's go and do it. If you have something, come back and tell me."

"Yes..."

It was night. It was midsummer and dark clouds covered the dark night sky. Occasionally, the moon behind the clouds would be revealed. The dull thunder in the distance rolled over and the air was filled with moist vapor. Thunder rain could fall at any time.

In a room in Lin mansion, a few black figures suddenly dashed out.

These few people were clearly very familiar with the open and hidden sentries of the Lin mansion. As they dodged, they avoided the surveillance posts and flew towards a courtyard at the back of the Lin mansion.

Lying on the bed, they heard the frenzied and restless roars of the devil beast in the distance, which was disturbed by the sound of thunder. Although this was the first time Lin Chen laid on such a comfortable blanket, his two bright eyes were wide open. He tossed and turned without any sleepiness.

Logically speaking, today should be the happiest day of his life.

As long as he could enter the Heavenly Firmament Sect, he would be able to bid farewell to his status as a servant, and from now on, he would be able to openly cultivate his martial arts.

"No, that's not right. The grandson of the Second Elder. Lin Tiandou is also a famous genius in Lin mansion. Without me, he would be the candidate to enter the Heavenly Firmament Sect. What would I do if I am the Second Elder?"

One should know that those young masters and young ladies in the Lin mansion only lived in this kind of place...

After thinking about it, Lin Chen still felt that something was wrong. He got up from the bed and opened the window to peek outside. Seeing that there was no one around, he sneaked out and hid in the dark.

Not long after he left, in his field of vision, a few black clothed men with light footsteps rushed into his room from the air like black smoke.

"Damn it, as expected..." Lin Chen cursed in his heart and merged into the darkness without looking back.

In the room, the leader of the men in black was touching the warm blanket. His facial expression changed slightly and he shouted in a deep voice, "Chase him, this kid hasn't run far yet!"

"Yes!"

As the sky gradually turned from dark to bright, Clear Spring Town welcomed a brand new day.

In a forest in the north, Lin Chen hid in a dense forest. On one side. He held his breath as he endured the piercing pain from his back. He cautiously looked outside through the gaps between the trees...

Lin Chen's face was still handsome and his eyes were still bright. However, the shocking blood stains on his linen shirt showed what kind of life and death chase he had gone through since yesterday.

"Phew... Hu..." Squatting in the grass, Lin Chen's breathing gradually calmed down.

At this moment, suddenly, there was a burst of rapid footsteps in the silent forest, followed by a few men in black running out from the forest.

Lin Chen's nerves instantly stretched to the limit, he did not dare to move from head to toe.

The distance between them was so close, he could even smell the faint smell of blood on the sword in their hands.

Fortunately, the thing he was most worried about didn't happen, and the men in black didn't notice him.
