Chapter 526 Disrespect for Teachers and Elders
Chapter 526 Disrespect for Teachers and Elders
The meeting lasted a full day.
It runs from Chenshi (7-9 AM) in the morning to Youshi (5-7 PM) in the evening.
Lin Chen gave a detailed explanation and made arrangements for the four points he raised.
The major powers have basically reached an agreement.
Some people who initially disagreed eventually agreed after friendly negotiations.
Those who hadn't fully agreed eventually did so under Lin Chen's watchful gaze.
Zhang Yiyuan was responsible for recording and engraving the jade slips, and his spiritual consciousness was almost exhausted.
By the time the meeting ended, the sun had already set.
A sliver of red remained on the horizon, like a thin red line separating the sky from the earth.
Representatives from various factions took their leave one after another.
Some were eager to go back and mobilize troops, some were eager to go back and move bricks and stones, and some were eager to go back and argue with the elders.
As Jiang Xuan left, he glanced at Lin Chen, clasped his hands in a fist salute, said "Take care," and turned to leave.
When Long Zaitian left, he didn't say anything, only nodded slightly.
When Qingyunzi left, he spoke the most, saying a lot of things like "Young Master Lin's great kindness and virtue" and "Qingyun Sect will never forget it."
Lin Chen listened, nodding, occasionally saying "okay," "fine," or "I understand."
When Jian Shisan left, he took out a flask of wine from his pocket, handed it to Lin Chen, said nothing, and turned to leave.
Lin Chen looked at the pot of wine and smiled.
Master Xuanci walked up to Lin Chen, put his hands together, and chanted a Buddhist prayer, his voice a little hoarse.
"Benefactor Lin, the matter of Mount Sumeru was something this old monk did not consider thoroughly."
Lin Chen looked at him without saying anything.
Master Xuanci's voice lowered even further.
"What you say is right. It is indeed dishonest to cower in the face of attack and let others take the hits first."
"What I used to think was that the tradition of Mount Sumeru, which has lasted for tens of thousands of years, should not be broken in my hands."
"But I forgot that those beings who were devoured by the great calamity also had their own lineage."
"Their heritage has spanned thousands or even tens of thousands of years; it can't just be cut off like that."
Abbot Xuanci bowed deeply, his golden robe gleaming in the setting sun.
"I will remember your actions today. From now on, whenever you have any orders, no one on Mount Sumeru will dare to disobey."
Lin Chen glanced at Abbot Xuanci, his eyes flickering slightly, then nodded.
"Master, remember what you said today."
Master Xuanci straightened up, turned around and left.
The nine-ringed tin staff tapped on the bluestone slab, "tap, tap, tap," step by step.
The setting sun stretched his shadow long, trailing it on the ground like an old dog with a broken spine.
……
The gifts sent by each faction were piled up on the high platform.
The beautiful women stood in a corner of the square, each with their own unique charm, some plump and some slender.
Some were dressed in magnificent palace gowns, adorned with gold and silver threads and sparkling with jewels.
Some wore simple and elegant dresses, looking fresh and graceful, like lotus flowers emerging from the water.
Some were dressed in exotic costumes, brightly colored and full of charm.
They all lowered their heads, their faces flushed, and secretly sized up Lin Chen.
Lin Chen looked at the group of beautiful women and his lips twitched.
At this moment, Yan Ruyu appeared beside Lin Chen, smiling as she said:
"These women were sent by the four great dynasties and various factions. I've accepted them all for you. Train them first, and you can enjoy them when you have time."
Lin Chen glanced at Yan Ruyu, and the corner of his mouth twitched again.
But they didn't say no.
Yan Ruyu laughed even harder, then turned and walked towards the group of girls, like a mother hen leading a brood of chicks.
"Come on, come with me, don't just stand there."
"What are your names? How old are you? What can you do?"
"Don't be nervous, I don't eat people."
"Giggle giggle—"
……
Hehuan Valley at dusk.
The moon was round and bright, illuminating the entire valley in a silvery white light.
The sea of flowers swayed gently in the night breeze, like a silver wave.
The stream shimmered silver in the moonlight, flowing gurglingly as if singing.
In the distance, the sound of a zither drifted by, melodious and gentle, echoing through the valley, making one's heart soften.
The girls of Hehuan Valley stood by the sea of flowers, watching Lin Chen and Yan Ruyu emerge from the void rift, followed by a large group of beautiful women.
They started chattering amongst themselves.
"Why is Young Master Lin bringing so many women again?"
"What a bunch of flashy, cheap sluts."
"I heard that Young Master Lin sealed off the extraterrestrial passage, and the four great dynasties even sent their imperial concubines and princesses here."
"Really?"
Why would I lie to you? The whole world has heard about it.
"Sigh! The competition is getting fiercer and fiercer."
"Looks like I still need to practice more..."
Lin Chen landed on the plaza in front of the Hehuan Palace, and Yan Ruyu landed next to him.
The group of girls emerged from the crack, looking around curiously, finding everything new and exciting.
Some of the bolder ones secretly glanced at Lin Chen, their eyes sparkling.
Some of the timid ones lowered their heads, too afraid to look, their ear tips turning red.
Some of the smart ones have already started to observe the environment of Hehuan Valley, figuring out how they can stand out in their future studies.
Yan Ruyu turned to face the group of girls, clapped her hands, and attracted everyone's attention.
"From today onwards, you will be living in Hehuan Valley. I am Yan Ruyu, the ancestor of the Hehuan Sect. You can call me Sister Yan."
Yan Ruyu smiled, but the light in her eyes made people dare not act rashly.
"In Hehuan Valley, you will learn a lot: rules, etiquette, and how to serve men."
The girls' faces turned completely red.
Although they have all received this kind of education.
But they all knew that compared to the Hehuan Sect, that was nothing.
Lin Chen leaned against a pillar in the Hehuan Palace, arms crossed, gazing at the moon with utter boredom.
Just then, Mei Jiu Niang walked over, looking at Lin Chen with alluring eyes.
"Everyone says you look very impressive today, but I think you must be very tired. I've prepared a bath for you, go take a soak and relax."
Lin Chen glanced at Mei Jiu Niang, then reached out and put his arm around her waist before disappearing in a flash.
Yan Ruyu, who was giving a lecture, cursed inwardly upon seeing this:
"You brat, you have no respect for your elders or teachers!"
