The handover ceremony proceeded very smoothly, and Ye Zi successfully beca the leader of the new lodge.
Although Ye Zi is still young, Lin Chen has already instructed Demon God to take care of her, and with Jia Xiaoqing's assistance, controlling the Yamamoto clan isn't difficult.
As soon as the handover ceremony ended, Ye Zi and Jia Xiaoqing took the treasure chest and found Lin Chen.
"Brother Chen, this should be what you wanted," Ye Zi handed the treasure chest to Lin Chen.
This treasure chest has always been kept by the Ikeda clan, and it requires the tokens from the Yamamoto, Ikeda, and Sakura clans to be opened together.
Now that Lin Chen has control of the Ikeda clan, acquiring their token is no problem; as for the Sakura and Yamamoto clans, there are naturally no issues given Lin Chen's relationship with Ye Zi and Jia Xiaoqing.
The three tokens co together to form a triangular key.
Lin Chen took the key and opened the treasure chest, revealing an ancient scroll inside.
He carefully unrolled the scroll and saw a line of bold and vigorous text written on it:
"The light of life will descend upon Eden and guide the people to hope."
Lin Chen looked puzzlingly at the text. Out of the four lines of poetry, Lin Chen had already found three.
"On the Sky Cliff, guiding the lost children ho!"
"This is a thorny path, slaughter, and blood will dye this land red, and light will illuminate the entire sky tomorrow!"
"Brother Chen, is this poem really that important to you?" Ye Zi asked curiously.
Lin Chen nodded, "Of course, I'd even be willing to give my life for it."
At this mont, Demon God walked over quickly, "Master, your plane ticket has been arranged."
"Alright, I understand." With that, Lin Chen stood up.
"Are you leaving now?" Ye Zi and Jia Xiaoqing froze for a mont, both filled with reluctance in their eyes.
Lin Chen smiled, "I have so urgent business to take care of, I must leave imdiately."
"Oh," Ye Zi's eyes filled with tears.
The farewell ca too suddenly, although Ye Zi knew Lin Chen would eventually leave, she didn't expect it to be so soon.
"Silly girl, why are you crying? The Island Nation is only a few hours away by plane from China. We'll see each other often." Lin Chen laughed.
Ye Zi nodded, "Make sure to visit
often, otherwise, I'll be mad."
Lin Chen nodded, "Don't worry!"
Jia Xiaoqing looked at Lin Chen puzzled, "Where are you planning to go?"
Lin Chen looked into the distance and said, "To the Yao Sect!"
"Yao Sect?" Being the heir to a large family, Jia Xiaoqing had so understanding of the Yao Sect.
"Lin Chen, the Yao Sect is a hidden sect with many strong experts; you must be careful!" Jia Xiaoqing said worriedly, knowing Lin Chen's character.
"Don't worry, I've had contact with the Yao Sect before, it's nothing special," Lin Chen smiled lightly.
Although there was so reluctance in his heart, Lin Chen still boarded the plane and embarked on a new journey.
The plane slowly took off, and Lin Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath as he looked at the island.
"Just one more line of poetry, Xiaowen, bear with it a little longer, I'll wake you up soon."
The plane landed in Kuncheng, and Lin Chen took the shuttle bus to Yao Ling Mountain.
Yao Ling Mountain is the location of the Yao Sect, but the part open to tourists is only the outer mountain, and the inner mountain where the sect resides is not open to outsiders.
Lin Chen arrived at Yao Ling Mountain late at night, and most tourists had already left the tourist area, but Lin Chen headed towards the inner mountain.
Climbing halfway up the mountain, it was already completely dark.
The entire Yao Ling Mountain was pitch black, quiet, and mysterious.
Lin Chen climbed for so more ti, and there was still a third of the way to the summit.
Just then, Lin Chen suddenly heard a moan.
Looking not far away, a girl in sportswear with a purple backpack was sitting on the steps.
The moaning sound ca from her.
"Hey there, what happened?" Lin Chen walked over and asked.
Seeing Lin Chen, the girl's face was filled with vigilance, "Who are you, what do you want?"
Seeing the other party treating him like a thief, Lin Chen was sowhat displeased.
Originally, he thought the girl might be in trouble, so he approached, but being considered a bad guy wasn't pleasant.
"I'm just passing by, goodbye." Lin Chen gave her a glance and walked past the girl.
"You, wait a minute." An Ningning urgently called out to him, blushing.
She had accidentally twisted her ankle while climbing, and she found herself unable to walk. Her phone had no signal, so she had to sit on the steps and wait for soone.
But as it got later, no one ca, until she saw Lin Chen coming up the mountain.
But after all, she was a girl, and it was deep in the mountains and quite dark. Seeing Lin Chen, her initial reaction was fear, hence the misunderstanding just now.
However, seeing that Lin Chen only looked at her briefly before turning to leave, she realized he wasn't a bad person, so she called out to him.
Lin Chen stopped, looking at the girl with a smile, "What, feeling lonely at night and want
to stay with you?"
"Not at all, I twisted my ankle, could you help ?" An Ningning said, blushing.
"Help you? Sure, is there anything in it for ?" Lin Chen looked at An Ningning with a teasing smile.
"Anything? I, I can pay you!" An Ningning hurriedly said.
"Pay? Alright, a thousand bucks to carry you to the summit." Lin Chen grinned.
Lin Chen had been in a hurry to co to Yao Ling Mountain, and realized after boarding the plane that he only had a few bucks on him. Seeing an opportunity for business, he naturally wouldn't pass it up.
"Aren't you a man? I'm just a weak girl, shouldn't you show so gentlemanly conduct?" An Ningning said angrily.
"If you don't agree, forget it. Don't bla
for not warning you, there are poisonous insects, venomous spiders, and maybe even wild wolves here, take care!" With that, Lin Chen turned to leave.
An Ningning shuddered at Lin Chen's words; the things he ntioned were precisely what she feared.
"Wait, a thousand it is, but you have to take
to my destination," An Ningning said, gritting her teeth.
"That can be arranged." Lin Chen said, squatting down.
An Ningning looked at Lin Chen's back and hesitated for a mont. As a little princess in her family, she had focused solely on studying the art of alchemy, never having had close contact with boys.
Now the thought of leaning onto a man's back made An Ningning feel shy.
"Are you coming up or not?" Lin Chen asked.
"I..." An Ningning hesitated again before finally leaning onto Lin Chen's back.
Feeling the smooth touch of the skin behind him and the faint lavender scent from the girl, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel content. This is money well earned, getting both cash and the pleasure of a beautiful girl's company.
Lin Chen carried An Ningning up the mountain, humming a little tune.
Holding onto Lin Chen's neck, An Ningning could feel Lin Chen's breath, her face blushing as her heart raced wildly like it was playing host to several rabbits.
