Chapter 993 You Are Indeed Ignorant!
Lin Chenxi"s eyes were filled with anger as she stared at Zhang Wei.
Seeing that Lin Chenxi was angry, Zhang Wei looked a little embarra.s.sed. However, he still continued, "Junior Lin, you"re still young and naive. You trust others too easily. There are savages who pretend to be masters and swindle people for cultivation resources. I"m doing this for your own good."
"That"s right, Junior Lin. Senior Zhang is doing this for your own good."
"This Mister Chu or whatever, we"ve traveled the world for many years, but we"ve never heard of such a person in any of the Holy Land"s sects."
"Yeah. After all, there"s no knowing what"s in a person"s heart. There"s no harm in being careful, Junior Lin."
The young men behind Zhang Wei spoke up one after another, both openly and secretly accusing Chu Yunfan of being a swindler.
In fact, even Lin Hongfeng had his suspicions. If he hadn"t seen Chu Yunfan"s true power with his own eyes, he might have also suspected if Chu Yunfan really was a Divine. After all, he couldn"t find out Chu Yunfan"s background.
This was the biggest problem. It was why Zhang Wei and the others dared to believe that Chu Yunfan was a liar. Although the Holy Land was huge, once one reached a certain level, the circle would be so small that it wasn"t very big.
There were only so many Divines. If there really was such a young Divine, it was unlikely that no one would know anything about him.
"Enough!" Lin Chenxi shouted, "Zhang Wei, did you come looking for me just to say these things? If so, you can leave!"
"Junior Lin, I didn"t mean it that way," Zhang Wei said hurriedly.
"We"re just trying to warn you and Lord Lin to be careful." Zhang Wei saw that the situation was not good and immediately tried to smooth things over.
However, Lin Chenxi clearly did not want to continue talking to him.
Suddenly, a figure slowly walked out of the courtyard. It was a young man in his twenties who was dressed in black.
"Master!" Lin Chenxi quickly stepped forward and bowed.
"Let"s go," Chu Yunfan said simply.
As for Zhang Wei and the others, he completely ignored them. How could he not know what Zhang Wei and the others had said? Chu Yunfan had always been a person who would respect others when they showed them respect, not to mention that Zhang Wei was just a mere Innate.
If it was a Divine with a bad temper, they would have killed Zhang Wei with a slap.
Seeing that he had been completely ignored, Zhang Wei"s face flashed with a hint of malice. Especially when he saw Lin Chenxi and Chu Yunfan walking together so intimately. He instinctively felt a sense of threat.
Ever since the first day he met Lin Chenxi, he had been taken by her beauty. He felt that he would marry no one else but her. Furthermore, Lin Chenxi was Lin Hongfeng"s precious daughter. If he married her, he would have a better chance of stepping into the Divine Abilities Stage in the future.
In the Holy Land, the inheritance of the Divine Abilities Stage was more complete. It was unlike the Federation which relied on luck. However, it was still extremely difficult to enter the Divine Abilities Stage from the Innate Stage.
Only with enough resources could one have a chance to step into the Divine Abilities Stage. In the Holy Land, Innates and Divines were two worlds apart. One was an ant on the ground, while the other was a dragon in the sky. They could not be mentioned in the same breath.
Chu Yunfan sneered. He saw the look on Zhang Wei"s face, but he didn"t bother to argue with him. If he really dared to do anything, Chu Yunfan could crush him with just one finger.
Now that he had fully recovered and even improved, he had nothing to fear.
Soon, under Lin Chenxi"s lead, Chu Yunfan entered the venue of today"s luncheon. In addition to the host, Lin Hongfeng, who was sitting in the head seat, there were two seats on each of his sides facing each other from a distance.
In one of the seats, a thin old man was sitting upright. Just by sitting there, a powerful aura shrouded the whole venue. Although he did not release much of his aura, he did not intend to restrain it either. If an ordinary Innate stood beside him, they would feel uncomfortable.
And the other empty seat was clearly reserved for Chu Yunfan.
There was another seat next to Chu Yunfan, which was reserved for Lin Chenxi. Opposite Lin Chenxi was the young city lord of Tianhe, Lin Haoren.
After that, there were some important officials of Tianhe. The luncheon was very grand, and all kinds of delicious food were served one after another.
"Hahaha, you"re here, Mr. Chu. Please take a seat!" Lin Hongfeng said as he quickly stood up. He didn"t dare to be arrogant in front of Chu Yunfan.
The old man had been staring at Chu Yunfan the moment he entered the venue. He waited until Chu Yunfan sat down opposite him and stared at him.
How could Chu Yunfan not understand that this old man was none other than the Divine that had been invited, Li Yan?
"For today"s luncheon, I"m honored to have two Divines grace us with their presence—Senior Li Yan and Mr. Chu!" Lin Hongfeng said loudly, looking very excited. "This is a Grand occasion for Tianhe!"
"I"d also like to announce two other happy news to everyone. One is that my daughter, Lin Chenxi, has the honor of becoming Mr. Chu"s disciple. The other is that my son, Lin Haoren, has the honor of becoming Li Yan"s disciple," Lin Hongfeng continued.
Everyone"s eyes were focused on Chu Yunfan and Li Yan. It was as if both sides had agreed to take in one offspring of the city lord each.
The important officials and patriarchs of the various families in Tianhe were happy. They had long since been tied to Tianhe. The more powerful the city was, the more benefits they would receive.
Now that the city lord had roped in two Divines, things would start looking up for the unstable Tianhe.
"Hold on!" Zhang Wei, who had just arrived, suddenly spoke up.
Everyone"s eyes turned to him. He slowly walked up and said, "Earlier, Lord Lin said that this Mr. Chu is also a Divine. Forgive my ignorance, but how have I never heard of such a Divine in the Holy Land?"
Zhang Wei"s words immediately caused a commotion among many people. This was what many people were most suspicious of Chu Yunfan. It was as if this person had suddenly jumped out from the crack in a stone. No one knew who he was.
However, most looked to Li Yan. Zhang Wei was his eldest disciple, and it was impossible to say that Zhang Wei had not received his permission.
As for Zhang Wei"s words, Li Yan acted as if he didn"t hear them. He ate the delicacies in a relaxed manner as if it had nothing to do with him.
At this moment, Chu Yunfan said, "You are indeed ill-informed."
