"I've already arranged for Wu Long and Wu Hu to accompany me,"
"That way, Old Huang can see for himself if these two are truly from the Huang family!"
Zhang Ying's expression was filled with certainty as she said this. The grace of receiving guidance was greater than heaven. She couldn't prevent the tragedy that befell the Huang family back then. Now, if she could help the Huang family recover their bloodline, it would be a way to make amends for her regrets.
"Mm, alright, let's go."
Seeing Zhang Ying's expression, Lin Chen knew she cared deeply about this matter.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have waited for him here.
He supposed it made sense. According to his senior sister, her connection to the Huang family was deep. Now that their entire clan had been wiped out, knowing her personality, she would definitely want to investigate the truth.
Especially since their master, Zhang Long, was currently breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage and could become a true Nascent Soul mighty being at any moment.
At such a critical juncture, she would surely want to do something for the Huang family, wouldn't she?
Immediately, Zhang Ying and Lin Chen, along with the Wu brothers, Wu Long and Wu Hu, took a taxi directly to the entrance of the Chu family.
Outside the Chu family gate, Old Huang was already anxiously waiting. When he saw Lin Chen and Zhang Ying arrive, he couldn't help but feel excited.
He had served the Chu family with his life for many years. This time, if he could help the Chu family resolve the trouble caused by Zhou Qianyuan, he planned to retire and live the life he desired.
Therefore, for Old Huang now, this matter had to succeed!
Only by doing so could he truly repay the life-saving grace he received from the Chu family years ago.
"Mr. Lin, Miss Zhang!"
Seeing Lin Chen and Zhang Ying arrive, Old Huang stepped forward and bowed to them, his expression full of respect.
Old Huang was acutely aware that Lin Chen and Zhang Ying were willing to come here to help them entirely because of the Huang family.
If it weren't for the Huang family, why would the current champion of the Southwest Grand Competition personally come to an obscure family like the Chu family?
"Mm, has Zhou Qianyuan arrived?"
Seeing Old Huang's welcoming gesture, Lin Chen nodded and asked.
He also knew that the Chu family's current predicament was entirely caused by that scoundrel Zhou Qianyuan.
Furthermore, he had met Chu Lian, the eldest daughter of the Chu family, during the Southwest Grand Competition before.
She was a very adorable young girl. He couldn't understand why Zhou Qianyuan, an old man nearing his twilight years, insisted on marrying Chu Lian.
"He hasn't arrived yet, but he called earlier and said he would be here for lunch."
"And he's planning to finalize the marriage with the eldest daughter today."
Old Huang nodded and explained to Lin Chen.
"Hmph, that old bastard!"
Upon hearing Old Huang's words, Zhang Ying's dislike for Zhou Qianyuan grew even stronger. A cultivator in his old age, with one foot in the grave.
To think that he would rely on his cultivation and status as an alchemist to force marriage with a girl who had just come of age was utterly shameful!
"Hehehe, alright, let's go inside then?"
"Eh? Who are these two?"
However, just as Old Huang was about to lead Lin Chen and Zhang Ying inside, he saw the Wu brothers, Wu Long and Wu Hu, getting out of the car.
For a moment, even Old Huang himself was taken aback.
No matter how he looked at them, these two gave him an extremely familiar feeling, as if he had seen them somewhere before.
"Hehehe, they are former inner sect elders of the Blazing Fire Sect. This is Wu Long, and this is Wu Hu."
Lin Chen smiled gently and made the introductions. The most urgent matter now was to resolve Zhou Qianyuan's problem, not to reveal the Huang family's affairs.
Only after dealing with Zhou Qianyuan would they reveal the truth to Old Huang.
This way, they wouldn't expose too much information. After all, the Huang family was a sensitive entity in the entire Southwest cultivation world.
If disciples from other sects knew that someone from the Huang family was still alive in this world, it would undoubtedly stir up a lot of trouble.
Although given Lin Chen and Zhang Ying's current combat strength, they could protect themselves even if they antagonized the entire Southwest cultivation world.
However, if they alerted the enemy prematurely, it would be incredibly difficult to investigate the truth behind the Huang family's demise later on!
"What? Inner sect elders of the Blazing Fire Sect?"
Upon hearing the identities of Wu Long and Wu Hu, Old Huang was even more shocked. Others might not know the truth, but he was perfectly aware of it!
The Lin Chen and Zhang Ying before him were the true killers of Wu Quanguo.
To think that these two not only killed Wu Quanguo but also took the inner sect elders of the Blazing Fire Sect as their subordinates.
Judging by the way Wu Long and Wu Hu were positioning themselves, their respect for Lin Chen and Zhang Ying was immense!
When he returned earlier, the eldest daughter had kept telling him that finding Lin Chen as an ally was a wrong decision.
With only mid-stage Core Formation cultivation and no background in the Southwest cultivation world, he surely wouldn't be a match for Zhou Qianyuan!
But now, Lin Chen had brought along inner sect elders like Wu Long and Wu Hu from the Blazing Fire Sect. In the entire Southwest cultivation world, how many people had higher status than them?
"Alright, Old Huang, let's go inside."
"As for other matters, we'll discuss them in detail after we've dealt with Zhou Qianyuan."
Seeing Old Huang's look of astonishment, Lin Chen casually waved his hand and explained.
"Yes, alright, Mr. Lin, Miss Zhang."
"And honored elders, please come in!"
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Old Huang respectfully made a gesture of invitation. Finally, led by Old Huang, the group entered the inner courtyard of the Chu family.
In the inner courtyard, Chu Yuan was personally waiting.
Although his daughter had told him before that the helper Old Huang found wasn't very strong,
Still, these were genuine immortal cultivators from the cultivation world!
For an ordinary person like him, he would likely never have the chance to meet a few in his lifetime. Now that esteemed immortals had condescended to visit their Chu family, he, as the current head of the Chu family, had to personally come out to greet them.
Regardless of whether Zhou Qianyuan's matter could be resolved, he, Chu Yuan, would remember this favor.
"Chu family, Chu Yuan, greets the four immortal masters!"
Seeing the guests entering, Chu Yuan immediately bowed respectfully.
