Hu Qing said that Lin Chen was kind-hearted and wanted to help the other party, but in Lin Chen's view, this statement was actually not quite right. From beginning to end, it was just a transaction.
It's just that Hu Qing didn't figure it out himself.
Why was Xue Chong unwilling to say anything at first, but finally told his story?
Is it because of drinking?
No! But when Lin Chen asked him about his story again, he already understood that the other party invited his daughter to eat and drank himself just to hear the story.
He has a short hand to take people and a soft mouth to eat people. In the end, he chose to tell the truth.
When Lin Chen said that he could help him get revenge as long as he agreed to one of his conditions, Xue Chong understood that this was another deal.
He was not interested in placing his hopes on two strangers, nor did he believe that these two people could help him get revenge. After all, they did not have enough trust in each other, and coupled with his extremely vigilant character, he rejected Lin Chen without even thinking.
, and then left with his daughter.
Hu Qing didn't understand this, and Lin Chen didn't explain it.
"What's getting more and more interesting?"
Hu Qing looked at Lin Chen in confusion.
Lin Chen said: "Have you ever thought about why he took his daughter with him to take revenge?
Why not leave your daughter with someone you trust for a while?
After all, if revenge fails and falls into the hands of the other party, maybe his daughter will die with him!"
Hu Qing had never thought of this before. After Lin Chen said this, he was also puzzled. Judging from Xue Chong's performance just now, he loved this daughter very much.
But if he loves this daughter, he shouldn't take her on the adventure! She thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because he has absolute self-confidence, or maybe it's because he has no one he can trust at all?"
Lin Chen smiled and said: "I don't think so, it's because of other reasons."
"What other reason?"
Hu Qing asked curiously.
Lin Chen did not answer, but added: "Maybe he is not here for revenge, but to seek death."
Hu Qing only thought that Lin Chen was telling a joke, and immediately retorted: "How is that possible! If he was driven to death by hatred, he wouldn't have waited until today.
Besides, if you are here to die, it is even more impossible to bring your daughter with you."
After saying that, she saw Lin Chen had a smile on his face and did not refute her, but obviously still insisted on her opinion. She turned around and said, "Let's make a bet!"
"bet?
You mean, bet on whether he is here to die?
What’s the stakes?”
Lin Chen smiled and said, "I'm afraid you don't have anything useful to me."
Hu Qing said: "Who said I would bet on treasures with you? Let's bet on something else.
If he is not here to die, but is confident that he can kill his enemies with his own hands, then you have lost. For the next month, you have to carry me on your back and let me enjoy the treatment of being served by a powerful person of the venerable level."
Lin Chen thought this bet was quite interesting and smiled: "What if you lose?
Are you going to carry me on your back for the next month?"
Hu Qing hummed: "If you are willing to give it up, I don't care!"
After saying that, she felt that the words seemed a bit ambiguous and snorted again, as if this could alleviate some of her embarrassment.
"What can I say?
I truly believe in equality between men and women.
It’s okay for a man to carry a woman on his back, but why not for a woman to carry a man?”
Lin Chen smiled.
Hu Qing grinded his teeth: "Then it's settled! I don't believe it. He might have brought his daughter to die!"
.........Tianmen Sect, as one of the largest forces in the Kunyu Dynasty, is located halfway up a snow-capped mountain. The palaces form a holy place for seeking Taoism in the hearts of countless people in the surrounding area.
Every day, countless young people come from all over the Kunyu Dynasty to join the Tianmen Sect and learn advanced Taoist techniques. Except for a very few who are extremely talented, most of them fail to do so.
This afternoon, as usual, several people came over to try their luck and see if they could be admitted to the Tianmen Sect.
However, they saw a different scene than before.
On the road from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, a group of people were guarding the road, blocking the road and preparing for battle, as if they were waiting for the arrival of a powerful enemy.
Among this group of people were those who had fled in front of Xue Chong before.
"It's strange! Although the people of Tianmen Sect used to look aloof, they were not as arrogant as they are today. What's going on?"
Several young people stood dejectedly at the foot of the mountain, looking at the group of Tianmen Sect members blocking the road, feeling depressed.
As soon as they walked in, before they even had time to say a few nice words and their purpose of joining the Tianmen Sect, the other party spoke directly and told them to get lost in a cold voice, saying that they had no time to talk to them today.
"Well, I guess something happened to me today.
In this case, we will first settle in a nearby town, wait two days and then come back again. We finally got here. No matter what, we have to try to see if we can join."
"Looking like this, they seem to be waiting for some enemy to arrive?"
"How is this possible! With the power of the Tianmen Sect, who else but the royal family of the Kunyu Dynasty would dare to cause trouble for them?
The head of the Tianmen Sect is said to be only one step away from immortality, and even the royal family is unwilling to provoke him easily!"
"To put it bluntly, even if someone really comes looking for trouble, they can't come over in a swaggering manner! As soon as the enemy comes over and sees such a group of people waiting, wouldn't they just turn around and run away?"
"Indeed! What a strange thing!"
...A few people were whispering to each other, and were about to leave first to find a place to go, when they saw a middle-aged man in tattered clothes not far away walking towards them step by step.
After taking a closer look, he discovered that behind the middle-aged man, there was a little girl on his back, tied to his body with a tattered quilt.
The little girl happened to look towards them, and after meeting their eyes, she was so frightened that she retracted her head into the quilt, obviously very timid.
"This person also wants to join Tianmen Sect?"
"Nonsense! Whoever comes here doesn't want to join the Tianmen Sect.
But this guy is like a beggar, how could Tianmen Sect let him join."
"Hey! I came to join the sect and even brought my family with me. I have learned a lot.
Just wait and see, even if we are treated like that, this guy might just get kicked off the top!"
...Rather than giving way, it is better to say that these people hurriedly avoided the middle-aged man, as if he were a piece of walking cow dung, fearing that his clothes would be stained.
Seeing the middle-aged man walking step by step towards the group of people blocking the mountain road, these people all showed gloating smiles and stopped, waiting to watch the show.
