Chapter 2442: Chapter 2443: Zheng He’s Doubts

This gaze met directly, even though the person who came was a Sect Elder, Lin Chen showed no hint of fear. During this distant observation, Zheng He also returned the gaze.

”Oh.”

Zheng He lightly exclaimed, and from within the darkness, Zheng He evidently also noticed the vague figure in the distance.

”Brother Lin, why are you here too?”

Zheng He laughed heartily and walked directly towards Lin Chen as if no one else was present.

The impression Lin Chen had left in the previous battle was clearly remembered by Zheng He.

The power exuded, especially the final strike that Lin Chen confronted, was not to be underestimated even by Zheng He. Even Zheng He would not emerge unscathed against such power.

Such impressive methods could be considered top-tier among the younger generation, and naturally, this had entered the sight of the elders.

Moreover, when the prohibition was broken on the square earlier, it was also due to Lin Chen’s efforts that it succeeded, which gave Lin Chen an unimpaired status in front of the elders.

It could be said that Lin Chen had made considerable contributions to the entire Green Ripple Sect; otherwise, Liu Qinglan would not have passed down that directive before observing the sacred relic.

However, not many disciples within the sect knew about all this. After all, these disciples were either cultivating or out searching for traces of the Demon Sect, busy with trivial matters, so they wouldn’t pay attention to these things.

Although Zhou Lie was Zheng He’s disciple, he rarely interacted with others and naturally didn’t know what kind of person Lin Chen was. He had only vaguely heard of the name and didn’t think much more of it.

”Master... you know him?”

Zhou Lie, following behind Zheng He, opened his mouth and slowly asked, his voice somewhat trembling.

Zhou Lie feared his master the most, and if Lin Chen was quite familiar with Zheng He, Zhou Lie would definitely not have a good time.

”Of course, not only I know him, but also the sect elders and even the Sect Master.”

Zheng He spoke as he walked, completely unaware of Zhou Lie’s peculiar expression behind him.

Zhou Lie’s expression twitched slightly; he lifted his head and looked at Lin Chen from behind Zheng He, his gaze inevitably peculiar.

”Elder Zheng.” As Zheng He approached, Lin Chen slowly bowed and said with a faint smile.

”This is the Lin Chen, Brother Lin, whom I’ve been telling you about,”

Zheng He introduced as he stood opposite Lin Chen and patted Lin Chen’s shoulder, then introduced him to Zhou Lie.

”Xiao Ying is here too, no wonder they couldn’t find you.” Zheng He noticed Xiao Ying on the other side of Lin Chen and exclaimed lightly again.

After exclaiming, he also let out a sigh of relief.

Before coming, he had learned about Xiao Ying’s disappearance, and this time, sensing this aura, he came to this place. Seeing Xiao Ying here put Zheng He somewhat at ease, as Xiao Ying was Pan Yan’s heir, and they wouldn’t forgive themselves if something happened.

But these words caused Zhong Wei’s face to change suddenly.

Large beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, making his clothes stick to his back due to sweat, causing a series of discomforts.

But Zhong Wei had no heart to care about that now; his expression was somewhat dazed, and the figure forced to come along appeared somewhat shaky. 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

”How could this happen? Damn it, if she had said from the start that she was familiar with the elders, there wouldn’t have been these troubles!”

Zhou Lie trembled in his heart, cursing inwardly.

But if Xiao Ying had said so at first, whether Zhong Wei would believe it or not, that was another matter.

”Brother Lin, why come to this place late at night and also kill a sect disciple?”

Zheng He cast a sidelong glance, seeing the corpse elsewhere, but his expression remained exceptionally calm upon seeing the gruesome scene, without any disturbance.

After all, as an elder, having seen much, such matters wouldn’t cause any shift in Zheng He’s expression.

He inquired merely out of curiosity, and his tone carried no intent to pursue questions.

”Well, this...”

Xiao Ying was about to speak but was interrupted by Lin Chen. He had no intention of letting Xiao Ying reveal such matters and, after stopping her, pointed towards the slightly trembling Zhong Wei hiding behind Zhou Lie, saying indifferently, ”Ask him.”

Perhaps because of these words, or perhaps due to Lin Chen’s pointed finger, Zhong Wei’s body trembled even more noticeably.

He initially planned to pin the blame for the incident entirely on Lin Chen, but now it seemed Lin Chen and Xiao Ying were not ordinary acquaintances of Zheng He.

Zhong Wei was no fool; he could see that, so his inner worry grew even stronger.

”Tell me, what’s going on now?”

Zheng He’s piercing gaze, like a sharp sword, fell on Zhong Wei, pressing down like a massive mountain, making it difficult for Zhong Wei to breathe. This, along with the sweat pouring from his body like rain.

”Speak!”

Seeing that Zhong Wei hung his head in silence for a long time, Zheng He frowned and shouted angrily, adding a touch of oppression that made Zhong Wei, already weakened by indulgence, falter further, causing Zhou Lie to secretly be alarmed.

At this point, it seemed the two before him had quite substantial connections within the sect.

”Spare me!”

With a hoarse voice, under the increasing pressure from Zheng He, Zhong Wei finally cried out, bending his knees and kneeling, his hands sprawling on the ground.

”You...”

Even Zhou Lie recognized something was off; he had thought there was some complexity to the matter, but seeing Zhong Wei’s demeanor confirmed his assumptions.

”Speak. What have you done?”

Zheng He, with his fiery temper, was even more so after seeing Zhong Wei’s appearance. If he weren’t trying to get to the bottom of things, he wouldn’t even bother speaking to this person. Zhong Wei was clearly the culprit.

His hands ceaselessly flailed on the ground, but stopped at Zheng He’s words. Then he lifted his head, looking panicked at Zheng He.

For the first time, Zhong Wei felt death so close.
