Chapter 2515 The Stubborn Shangguan Wenyin is About to Get Into Trouble

Lin Chen admitted that he had been tempted.

Entering the Bitter Sea and rescuing Shangguan Wenyin brings many benefits. First, one can obtain the technique for absorbing the power of wishes. Second, one can obtain the method to resolve the fluctuations of the Primordial Profound Water Technique. Third, one can obtain a magical clam pearl that is beneficial for breaking through realms.

If that's the case, then let's go.

Lin Chen did not agree immediately, but said he needed to think about it.

When Li Yunruo saw that Lin Chen said he would consider it, she became a little anxious, fearing that Lin Chen would refuse in the end, so she quickly added more chips.

“Mr. Lin, as long as you are willing to help save Brother Shangguan, just name your conditions. As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree.”

Lin Chen wasn't trying to extort her, but rather he wanted to confirm this matter and the matter of the Bitter Sea.

Having just arrived, Lin Chen was naturally careful when a woman suddenly showed up at his door without him even seeing her. Otherwise, he might be sold out and still end up counting the money for her.

"I need to discuss this first, and I'll give you the answer in three days."

Li Yunruo left helplessly. Lin Chen found the small leader he had found before again, gave him another sum of spirit stones, and asked him to help him find out information.

The small-time boss was a bit strange, but who wouldn't want to make money?
I'm just asking for some information, it doesn't violate any religious rules, what's there to be afraid of?

Soon, the leader brought the information Lin Chen wanted: everything Li Yunruo said was true, including her identity and information about the Bitter Sea.

In addition, Lin Chen also received information that a disciple named Yuwen Yuanshan would be temporarily appointed as the Holy Son, and that Yuwen Yuanshan was related to the Vice Leader Wei Deyuan.

The Yuwen and Wei families were old friends, and many of their members had intermarried, making them practically one family.

Upon hearing this news, and considering what Li Yunruo had said, Lin Chen knew that Shangguan Wenyin was probably in trouble.

With the support of the Wei and Yuwen families, Yuwen Yuanshan can be considered to have connections in the court. When Shangguan Wenyin returns after a hundred years, he will have no subordinates and no support. How will he reclaim his position as the Holy Son?

How could the Wei and Yuwen families allow him to regain his position as Holy Son?

If they were ruthless enough, the Wei and Yuwen families would probably already be plotting how to eliminate Shangguan Wenyin in the Bitter Sea.

Kutuo Sea is a place of exile, unsupervised. If someone finds Shangguan Wenyin and kills him, who will know?

Even if you know, so what? It's not uncommon for a criminal to steal and accidentally kill someone.

At worst, they can kill someone to atone for their crime. The Wei and Yuwen families are wealthy and powerful; finding such assassins would be too easy for them.

Moreover, they don't necessarily need to actually kill Shangguan Wenyin. They just need to find a reason to cause a conflict, beat Shangguan Wenyin seriously or cripple him, and ruin his future. So even if he returns a hundred years later, what can he do?

What value does a kid with no potential, no future, and no background have?
Who would care about him?

Bishop?

If the leader truly cared about him, he wouldn't have agreed to punish him by sending him to the Sea of ​​Sudatta for a hundred years.

When Lin Chen saw Li Yunruo again, Li Yunruo became even more anxious.

"Mr. Lin, I just received news that the sect leader has appointed Yuwen Yuanshan to temporarily assume the position of Holy Son. Brother Shangguan is in danger!"

Lin Chen nodded; what he could think of, the Li family could naturally think of as well.

"Is your desire to help Shangguan Wenyin your personal decision, or the decision of the entire Li family?"

Li Yunruo answered without hesitation: "Behind Yuwen Yuanshan are the Wei family and the Yuwen family. Our Li family has always been at odds with them, and we have been fighting each other openly and secretly. Although the Li family does not care much about Brother Shangguan, they are even more unwilling to see Yuwen Yuanshan secure the position of Holy Son."

Lin Chen immediately understood: "Since Shangguan Wenyin has no background, and you and he have mutual feelings for each other, and you are determined to marry him, why don't you two be together? Wouldn't it be better to have the Li family as his backing?"

Li Yunruo said with a wry smile, "Brother Shangguan is stubborn and only wants to achieve success through his own efforts. He doesn't want to rely on the Li family's influence. Actually, that's part of the reason why he has always kept his distance from me..."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "What a fool! He has a powerful backer but doesn't even try to curry favor with them!"

Although Lin Chen is also very independent and would not grovel for power or profit, he would not refuse such a mutually beneficial cooperation.

Isn't it good to have a powerful backer?
If someone recognizes you, it must be for their own benefit. As long as you keep growing, it's okay to owe them a favor first. You can always repay them later, right?

People do need to rely on themselves, but they also need to be flexible.

Lin Chen's words clearly struck a chord with Li Yunruo, who nodded repeatedly: "Yes, he's just too inflexible. My father is quite dissatisfied with this about him, saying that those who achieve great things are all shrewd and calculating, how can they be so stubborn..."

Lin Chen nodded. That was true. Clearly, the Li family hoped he could rise to a higher position, but given his personality, it was unlikely. That's why the Li family was so disappointed in him.

"So, rescuing Shangguan Wenyin was your family's idea? Since your Li family has such plans, why not take action yourselves instead of asking an outsider like me?"
