"Brother Qingyu, you must not be rude to the grandmaster!"
Shangguan Bihan stood in front of Lin Chen and yelled at the youth in white angrily.
The youth's face changed slightly. Since he had entered this family, his cousin had never dared to adopt this attitude to scold him!
"What kind of bullshit grandmaster is this? Cousin, don't be fooled. What grandmaster looks like this brat without a single hair grown fully?"
Seeing his cousin protecting this brat, the youth in white was furious and scolded.
"My hair has fully grown, see for yourself if you don't believe."
Lin Chen deliberately got closer to Shangguan Bihan's graceful back, while pulling his own hair. He blinked at the youth and smiled wickedly, full of provocation.
The two guards who followed the youth in white looked at each other speechlessly. This brat is supposed to be a grandmaster?
"Brother Qingyu, Grandmaster Shile Zhi is the fortune teller I invited. If you don't show enough respect, Bihan will surely report to the elders!"
The usually calm and detached Shangguan Bihan adopted an extremely resolute attitude this time, questioning the youth in white.
"He's a fortune teller? Then this young master is the Heavenly Emperor!"
The youth was jealous to the bone. This brat actually showed off his closeness with Bihan right in front of him.
"Tsk tsk, you don't believe it? Young master, don't overindulge yourself in the future. I can see your Yang fire is almost extinguished by women. If you don't believe, run your inner force to your Kidney acupoint and see."
Lin Chen grinned. Just as the youth in white was about to retort,
"Young master Qingyu, you might as well try what the grandmaster suggested. If he's really the fortune teller Miss Bihan invited, you can't afford to offend him."
The elder servant in grey robes said indifferently. The youth in white glanced at him warily, then sneered.
"Then this young master will see what kind of grandmaster you are."
The youth closed his eyes slightly, channeled his inner force, and immediately located his Kidney acupoint.
The moment the inner force entered the acupoint, the youth's facial muscles instantly twisted and crumpled together in pain. He rolled on the floor yelling, "Ah! So painful, it hurts so much! My kidney!"
Even the two guards who followed him were shocked. What was going on here?
"Now you know the grandmaster's capabilities?"
Shangguan Bihan said plainly.
"Well, it's late. I know you have matters to discuss with me, but this grandmaster has overexerted himself today and needs proper rest."
Lin Chen coughed lightly. Shangguan Bihan quickly said, "Let me arrange lodging for the grandmaster right away."
"Don't worry, I will keep tonight's matters between us two confidential for you."
Lin Chen deliberately whistled frivolously in front of Nangong Qingyu.
With rosy cheeks, Shangguan Bihan's pretty face flushed red. She softly mm-ed, "Then thank you, grandmaster."
"What? Tonight's matters between two people?"
When Nangong Qingyu saw Shangguan Bihan's shy expression, his heart instantly burned with intense jealousy!
By the time the two guards helped Nangong Qingyu up, Lin Chen and Shangguan Bihan had already left. As his pain gradually subsided, he stared at Lin Chen's back.
"Dare to touch my, Nangong Qingyu's woman, a brat with no hair. Let me see how I will torment you to death!"
"Damn, that hurt like hell."
Shangguan Bihan personally arranged Lin Chen's lodging. On the walk through the courtyard, Lin Chen also saw many attribute light balls that he didn't rush to pick up.
He knew he had already successfully infiltrated as a "fortune teller". The attribute light balls here were now his.
The key was how to get close to the direction of that purple-golden pillar of light!
Inside a luxurious guest room, sandalwood incense burned.
Lin Chen sat crossed-legged on the bed, formed mystical hand seals and entered a state of cultivation.
"The cultivation speed of this Taiji Shengjing is indeed terrifying. If I continue cultivating at this rate, my spiritual power can break through to the Spiritual Realm in just a month."
On the Nine Provinces Continent, the spiritual power realms were divided into several realms: Virtual Realm, Spiritual Realm, Super Spirit Realm, and Dharma Realm.
The Virtual Realm was the level of ordinary people's spiritual power. Apart from having superior innate talents, most ordinary people had weak spiritual power overall.
The Spiritual Realm meant the spirit could connect with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. Spiritual power perception improved, and one could form a certain attack range and means.
In the Super Spirit Realm, the spirit started assimilating with heaven and earth. One possessed large-scale spiritual perception and spiritual attack means.
In the Dharma Realm, the spirit condensed into a spiritual dharma form, connecting with the heavenly dao. The spirit could leave the body and roam the nine heavens. As long as the spirit didn't perish, the consciousness would remain.
If he could break through to the Spiritual Realm, Lin Chen would have more resources and means at his disposal.
The entire night, Lin Chen was immersed in cultivation, forgetting sleep and food.
What happened in the Shangguan family last night had woken all the top leaders and even the elders in secluded cultivation!
It was possible for Shangguan Bihan to become the second person in the Shangguan family's history capable of awakening her bloodline a second time. This invigorated countless elders!
Moreover, this news came from a young fortune teller. If not for him, the Shangguan family might have lost a rising star!
But many of the Shangguan family's top leaders and elders were skeptical. If this was a fraudster, wouldn't the whole family become a laughingstock?
The next day, at the Shangguan family's main hall.
All the Shangguan family's top leaders and elders gathered. These were all experts above the Battle Spirit Realm, and some even far surpassed the Battle Spirit Realm!
"Grandmaster Shile Zhi, this way please."
Dressed in a snowy white dress, Shangguan Bihan personally led Lin Chen into the hall.
Boom!
As Lin Chen entered the hall, an extremely powerful oppressive force swept towards him. Countless piercing gazes that felt like swords pierced through his body, seemingly wanting to see through all his secrets.
Feeling the oppressive force, Lin Chen squinted his eyes. Almost everyone in the hall had cultivation at least at the ninth level of the Battle Spirit Realm!
"Holy crap, these old folks must want to intimidate me. The more so, the more I can't back down."
Facing these gazes, Lin Chen remained relaxed and aloof. He strode in, sat down in a nearby seat without a word, and casually propped his legs up on the table.
"What is it? Have you elders seen anything out of the ordinary about this grandmaster?"
Lin Chen smirked. Immediate exclamations rang out from the elders and family leaders.
"Eh? This brat looks under 18 years old."
"His physique cultivation is decent, cultivation base acceptable, and his spirit tenacious. But that's all there is to it."
"Heh, why do I feel like we've been fooled by this brat? I've seen real fortune tellers before, none were like him."
Nangong Qingyu from last night was also present. Holding a fan, he looked down on Lin Chen disdainfully, as if he had already seen through his scam. He flattered some family leaders,
"Elders, I've always suspected this brat to be a fraudster. Bihan is inexperienced and was fooled by him. Please take action and suppress this brat immediately! Don't let him make a fool of our entire family!"
The handsome middle-aged man seated at the main seat glanced at him and said indifferently, "We will discern for ourselves whether he is real or fake."
After this blow, murderous intent flashed in Nangong Qingyu's eyes.
