Chapter 1094: Chapter 1093: Temporary Stay
The effeminate young man was sent flying over a hundred meters away before he came to a disheveled stop, an expression of disbelief suddenly appearing in his eyes.
The Second Elder had actually attacked him!
At this moment, the gentle woman also stepped forward, a look of astonishment in her eyes.
"Second Elder? What is going on here?"
The Second Elder would actually take action against the effeminate young man, a core disciple of Lingyue Island, for an outsider like Ling Chen.
Meanwhile, Shen Bingxin also stood up. She only glanced at the two gentle women before speaking, "He is the disciple of an old acquaintance of mine. He was just helping me heal just now."
"The disciple of an old acquaintance?"
The gentle woman was taken aback, not expecting that what Ling Chen had claimed earlier about being Shen Bingxin’s acquaintance was actually true?
"Yes, for some time to come, he might stay on Lingyue Island, and you should get along well with him."
As Shen Bingxin spoke, she also looked towards Ling Chen.
Ling Chen understandingly nodded. Moreover, he was currently being pursued by that gray-robed elder and the Capture God. Lingyue Island was undoubtedly the safest place for Ling Chen at the moment.
He would do best to stay here; otherwise, it would be challenging to escape the pursuit of the Huangfu Clan and the Capture God.
Besides, a secluded sect like Lingyue Island, with top-tier cultivation environments situated by the East Sea, had abundant spiritual energy and was blessed by nature. Cultivating in such a place would undoubtedly yield twice the result with half the effort.
Temporarily cultivating here for a while was a good choice.
"I hope Senior Brother and Senior Sister can offer me guidance in the future."
Ling Chen curved his lips slightly, cupping his hands towards the gentle woman and the effeminate young man.
"But this brat injured me! Second Elder, my arm was hurt by him."
Mo Yang was filled with hatred towards Ling Chen, how could he tolerate Ling Chen staying here and having to coexist on Lingyue Island with him? He wished he could just slash Ling Chen with a sword right now.
"It should be unintentional. I will have someone deliver you some top-quality ointment; you should be healed within ten days."
Shen Bingxin said indifferently.
"Second Elder, this person has an unclear background, and he is being hunted by two Great Saints. There must be something fishy. You should not easily trust him!"
Mo Yang was still relentless, continuing to press on.
"Enough!"
Shen Bingxin’s expression showed some impatience, and her gaze turned icy, "Are you questioning me?"
As her words fell, a chilling pressure suddenly enveloped Mo Yang, causing his body to stiffen and shiver.
Trembling in shock, Mo Yang quickly lowered his head, "Disciple does not dare."
He knew the power of this Second Elder; her actions were unconventional and extremely overbearing. Whatever she decided, no one else had the right to question.
In his moment of rage, he had forgotten Shen Bingxin’s untouchable taboo.
"Alright, you may leave."
Shen Bingxin’s expression returned to normal as she waved a hand at Mo Yang.
"Disciple takes his leave."
Mo Yang shot Ling Chen a glance before turning to leave,
Though he was still somewhat unwilling in his heart, in front of Shen Bingxin, he had to temporarily suppress this emotion.
"Lin Wan, you will be responsible for hosting Ling Chen from now on. His clothes, food, housing, and transportation on Lingyue Island will all be arranged by you."
After Mo Yang left, Shen Bingxin looked over at the gentle woman and instructed softly.
"Yes."
Though Lin Wan still had doubts about Ling Chen’s identity, since Shen Bingxin had said so, she naturally wouldn’t ask more questions and nodded in agreement.
"You may stay here as long as you wish, until you are confident enough to deal with your foes."
At this moment, Shen Bingxin’s gaze finally settled on Ling Chen, before speaking.
"Thank you, Senior."
Ling Chen cupped his hands toward her in gratitude. However, Lin Wan couldn’t help but be a little surprised on the side. Stay as long as you wish? What exactly was Ling Chen’s relationship with the Second Elder? He wasn’t even a member of Lingyue Island, normally not eligible to stay here. Even the direct descendants from some Saint Families across the Nine Provinces Land who had good relations with Lingyue Island often had strict time limits on their stay for cultivation. Unexpectedly, Ling Chen received such special treatment upon his arrival.
Indeed, a bold thought crossed her mind: was this guy perhaps the Second Elder’s illegitimate child?
Of course, these bold speculations were merely thoughts she considered secretly.
"But in the coming days, I may need Senior to keep an eye out for something."
Ling Chen continued to say.
"What is it?"
Shen Bingxin asked, puzzled.
"Cold Condensing Pearl."
Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, "With the Cold Condensing Pearl, we can fully cure the Fire Poison in your body, Senior."
"Cold Condensing Pearl."
Shen Bingxin murmured, her brows slightly furrowed, "I’ve heard of this item. It is an extremely rare Heaven’s Material and Earth’s Treasure, very difficult to obtain. Can it really cure the Fire Poison in my body?"
She had been tormented by the Fire Poison for many years, enduring great pain from it. By this point, she had almost given up on life, and yet Ling Chen had brought her a glimmer of hope.
"Yes. I can confirm it."
Ling Chen nodded, saying that the Human Emperor had mentioned it. The latter had seen everything, and about the nature of the Fire Poison, the Human Emperor must be very clear and certainly would not be wrong.
"Alright, I will have the Sect concentrate fully on tracking the whereabouts of the Cold Condensing Pearl. As soon as there is news, I will notify you immediately."
Shen Bingxin’s pretty face was serious.
After all, it concerned her life and death, and both she and Lingyue Island would do their utmost to find this item.
"Lin Wan, it’s getting late, go now to arrange Ling Chen’s accommodation."
Shen Bingxin looked over to Lin Wan, instructing.
Lin Wan nodded, then extended a hand toward Ling Chen, "Junior Brother Ling Chen, please follow me."
Ling Chen cupped his hands toward Shen Bingxin, then proceeded to follow Lin Wan, heading towards another direction within the depths of Lingyue Island.
"This boy truly is quite extraordinary."
Watching Ling Chen’s gradually receding figure, Shen Bingxin’s eyes showed a hint of brilliance, Fire Poison, Flame Emperor Order, Cold Condensing Pearl... Her Fire Poison—a condition she herself couldn’t find any way to address—and Ling Chen could actually identify a healing method.
"That old fellow may have chosen a good protégé after all..."
Shen Bingxin had a premonition that perhaps she really might be saved by this young Ling Chen this time.
"The Cold Condensing Pearl must be found as soon as possible, otherwise, this body won’t last much longer..."
With that, her form shifted, cold energy sweeping around her before she abruptly vanished from the spot.
