He looked at Chen Yan with a dark look in his eyes.
Chen Yan noticed something and glanced at him, "Why are you looking at me?"
Lin Jiucang realized that his gaffe had been discovered. He lowered his head slightly, trying to hide his panic, and said with a bow, "Junior Brother, I overstepped my bounds. Senior Sister is so beautiful, I couldn't help but look at her a few more times. Please forgive my rudeness."
Chen Yan heard this, his expression did not change, he just asked in a calm tone: "What's your name?"
"Lin Jiucang." He answered quickly, showing humility and respect to the extreme.
However, this behavior made Chen Yan wary and defensive.
Chen Yan nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Lin Jiucang's heart sank when she saw this. His behavior obviously made her wary of him.
The two of them walked together, and when they walked out of the imperial capital, they found that hundreds of people had gathered there, including people from various major forces.
Chen Yan also saw his master, Elder Qi, as well as the Sixth Elder of the Qiankun Sect and others in the crowd.
She walked quickly.
Lin Jiucang naturally followed.
Her appearance attracted a lot of attention because she was so beautiful, with a delicate and beautiful face and a cold temperament, as if she was trained by a noble family.
"Who is this?"
"Didn't you see what she was wearing? She must be the direct disciple of an elder of the Qiankun Sect!"
"If I hadn't seen Yan Xi, the most beautiful woman in the Qiankun Sect, I would have thought this was her!"
"I always feel that she looks familiar, as if I have seen her somewhere..." said a disciple of the Helian family.
Chen Yan quickly walked to the front of Elder Qi and the Sixth Elder, raised his hands and bowed, performed the disciple's etiquette, and then called out: "Master, Sixth Elder."
Elder Qi looked at her and found that her internal energy seemed a little weak, so he asked her to raise her hands.
Chen Yan did as he was told.
Elder Qi felt her pulse, his expression slightly tense, and asked with concern: "Yan'er, are you injured internally?"
Chen Yan nodded and said softly, "I encountered some powerful opponents before. I was unable to resist and had no choice but to flee. Unfortunately, I was injured. But don't worry, Master. I have almost recovered now."
Hearing this, the Sixth Elder beside him frowned immediately. He was filled with anger and said protectively, "Which faction's disciples dared to hurt you? Tell me quickly, and I will teach them a lesson for you!"
Chen Yan glanced at the Sixth Elder with gratitude and said slowly, "Thank you for your concern, Sixth Elder. However, those people are just ordinary independent cultivators, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to find them. Moreover, even if we find them, I would rather become stronger and fight back against them."
After hearing this, the Sixth Elder couldn't help but smile with satisfaction and sighed with emotion: "It's really great that you have such awareness."
Normally, other disciples would hope that their elders would come forward to help them seek justice, but Chen Yan had different ideas. She wanted to become stronger with her own strength and then personally fight back against those who had hurt her.
This spirit of independence and tenacity made the Sixth Elder admire her even more.
Elder Qi also showed a look of relief on his face. He stroked his beard and said with a smile, "If your peers bully you, I won't be able to help you myself. But if those who take advantage of their age bully you, you must tell me, and I will help you get revenge."
Chen Yan nodded in agreement.
At this time, Lin Jiucang, who had been silent all the time, finally spoke.
"Disciple Lin Jiucang greets Elder Qi and Sixth Elder."
Elder Qi and the Sixth Elder turned their gaze towards Lin Jiucang, smiling and nodding at him.
Lin Jiucang lowered his eyes, performed the ceremony, and then stepped back to mingle with the disciples of the Qiankun Sect with whom he was on good terms.
However, when he watched the two elders talking and laughing with Chen Yan from afar, his hands clenched little by little under his sleeves.
Why isn't he the direct disciple?
Why does he not fit in with them?
Why can't they see themselves?
At this time, Elder Qi's expression was solemn. He said to Chen Yan, "I'm afraid our attempt to enter the Linghuang Secret Realm this time was in vain. Who could have imagined that the eldest princess Chen Ke from over 800 years ago would suddenly appear and not only take away the Tianzhou Divine Sword, but also the martial arts and combat techniques in the library. I'm afraid she has also moved them away."
Chen Yan's heart moved, and she asked tentatively: "Master, do you think we should take these things away from her?"
Elder Qi glanced at her.
As if he had guessed what she was thinking, he smiled and asked, "Yan'er, do you think we shouldn't take these things away?"
Chen Yan pondered for a moment and replied, "I don't think there's an absolute right or wrong in this matter. These things originally belonged to the Shen family, and it's natural and legitimate for the Shen family to want to take them back. But on the other hand, we live in a world where the strong are respected and the weak are preyed upon by the strong. If everyone were moral, they wouldn't steal other people's things, and there wouldn't be murder for treasure. But if we're immoral and fight and rob, who would accuse this behavior of being wrong?"
Fighting for resources is the norm in this world.
It is also the invisible rule of this world.
There are no regulations here.
The apocalypse where she lived in her previous life was even more chaotic, with almost no moral rules.
The existence of the Tianzhou Dynasty was governed by certain rules. To some extent, it weakened the hegemony of the strong and protected the personal safety of the weak.
"You see things very clearly." Elder Qi sighed softly.
