Sun Linmao?
Lin Shen searched his memory and didnât think he knew such a person.
After some thought, he opened the islandâs restriction and let the person outside in.
Not long after, a young man arrived in front of Lin Shen.
âWhat can I do for you?â
Lin Shen sized the person up. With a sweep of his spiritual consciousness, he could immediately tell that the Sun Linmao wasnât a cultivator master and was only at the ninth level of the Bright Aperture Stage. He had yet to condense a spirit meridian.
Sun Linmaoâs was a little tense.
He didnât think much of it when discussing Lin Shen in private, but when she really stood in front of Lin Shen and felt his powerful aura, he couldnât help but feel nervous.
This was the subconscious reaction of the weak when facing the strong.
Moreover, Sun Linmao was here on a mission. He felt even more uneasy.
After a while, Sun Linmao swallowed and cupped his hands.
âSenior Brother Lin, Iâm here on Senior Brother Shanâs orders. âTwo months ago, Senior Brother Shan booked Goldstream Isle. Itâs against the rules for you to interfere and snatch Goldstream Isle by force. Please return it to him!â
So he was sent by Shan Wenqi.
Lin Shen sneered inwardly and said with a faint smile, âThereâs no need to say unnecessary formalities. We both know the real situation. If we really want to talk about it openly, itâs still Shan Wenqi who violated the sectâs rules first.
âGoldstream Isle is now my Cultivation Cave Abode. Now that itâs in my hands, itâs my private property. Itâs wishful thinking for Shan Wenqi to ask me to give it up. Just tell me how heâs going to snatch Goldstream Isle from me.â
There was no lack of open and covert fights between fellow disciples, but no matter how intense the fight was, they would at least be civil on the surface. There was no one as straightforward as Lin Shen. Sun Linmao immediately felt extremely embarrassed.
After hesitating for a moment, he remembered that he had to complete Senior Brother Shanâs instructions. He braced himself and took out the letter of challenge, handing it to Lin Shen.
âSenior Brother Lin, this is personally written by Senior Brother Shan. He said that if Senior Brother Lin doesnât agree to give up Goldstream Isle, I should hand this letter to you.â
âOh?â Lin Shen took it and looked at it. A mocking expression immediately appeared on his face.
As expected, this letter was a letter of challenge.
The content was nothing more than asking Lin Shen to choose a place to fight and decide the ownership of Goldstream Isle based on the outcome. If Lin Shen didnât agree, it was fine. He could hide on the island like a coward to prevent himself from being ridiculed when he came out in the future.
âAt the end of the day, we still have to fight. Why didnât you say so earlier? Just be straightforward, okay?â
Lin Shen didnât know if it was because he was infected by Xia Mengran, but he felt that he was starting to become rough and uncouth.
He laughed inwardly, but he didnât show it on his face. He put the challenge letter aside and sneered.
âShan Wenqi has made things too easy for him. Goldstream Isle is my private property, to begin with. Isnât it too unrealistic for him to use my things as a bet? Since he wants to gamble, show his sincerity.â
Sun Linmao hesitated and said, âMay I know what advice Senior Brother Lin has?â
He couldnât make the decision on this matter. He could only listen to Lin Shenâs request and report it to Shan Wenqi, who would make the decision.
âWhere is Shan Wenqiâs cultivation Cave Abode?â
âItâs Gale Island!â Sun Linmao answered without thinking.
âThen letâs use Gale Island as a bet.â Lin Shen smiled. âBoth sides will use the cultivation Cave Abode as a bet. Itâs very fair, right?â
Only then did Sun Linmao realize what he was asking, and his expression changed.
He opened his mouth to speak, but Lin Shen raised his hand and interrupted him.
âYou canât make the decision for this kind of thing. Go back and tell Shan Wenqi my request. If heâs willing to accept it, weâll have the battle on Goldstream Isle ten days later.â
After saying this, Lin Shen didnât give Sun Linmao a chance to say anything else and directly waved his hand to send the guest off.
âIâve finished speaking. Iâm going to cultivate. Please leave.â
Sun Linmao was about to say something when he saw Lin Shen wave his hand. A powerful force rushed toward him, and he was instantly pushed back.
When he came back to his senses, Sun Linmao realized that he had already arrived outside the island, and the restriction had been activated.
Helpless, he could only leave dejectedly and prepare to report to Shan Wenqi.
While Sun Linmao was on his way back, Shan Wenqi had already arrived at Flying Eave Island.
Looking over, courtyards and tall buildings were built following the terrain of the island.
The most eye-catching thing was the magnificent palace in the center of the island.
The jade tiles reflected the sky, and the buildings had gold and silver decorations. They looked like flowing jade from afar, and the embroidered drapes were like rainbows. It was extremely luxurious.
At this moment, the palace was filled with people. Countless maids walked in and out, constantly serving all kinds of wine and delicacies.
âMeng Fei is still so good at enjoying himself!â
Shan Wenqi laughed and landed in front of the palace, taking large strides into it.
There were already more than ten people in the hall. They were all between 25 and 30 years old. They were dressed appropriately and luxuriously. Clearly, they were all disciples of influential families.
The three people in the lead had thick auras. Clearly, they were cultivator masters like Shan Wenqi.
Hearing the voice, Li Mengfei turned around and smiled. He welcomed Shan Wenqi warmly.
âWenqi is finally here. Weâve been waiting for you for more than half an hour. You have to drink more later!â
At the side, Tang Ming and Duan Ziping, also cheered, wanting Shan Wenqi to have some drink first.
The other disciples of influential families at the Bright Aperture Stage stood at the side with smiles on their faces, not daring to interject.
The disciples of influential families present were closely connected through their families, so the clansmen usually interacted with one another. From time to time, they would gather together to deepen their relationship..
