"Mr. Lin, Elder Meng has arrived."
Just as Lin Chen was about to say something more to Qiao Shan, Xiao Hu, who was at the door, spoke to Lin Chen after taking a call.
"Mm, good."
Upon hearing that Elder Meng had arrived, Lin Chen nodded and stood up.
"Let's go, you two should come with me to meet Chairman Fan as well."
"We'll be developing in Zhejiang Province from now on. Getting acquainted with him will definitely be beneficial."
Lin Chen didn't hide anything, stating his purpose in front of the two.
Since he had decided to use Qiao Shan now, there was no need to keep it a secret.
He now wanted to use the secular world as his foundation and build a force of his own.
Although the Ghost God Sect was managed by his master and senior sister, its development in the secular world was almost zero.
It could be said that besides the Fifth Hospital in Hangzhou, the Ghost God Sect had no other source of income.
And if he wanted to go further on the path of cultivation, he absolutely needed resources!
"Thank you for the opportunity, Mr. Lin!"
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Qiao Shan was deeply moved.
He was just a small businessman, and if he became acquainted with Chairman Fan, he would truly make a name for himself in the future!
Then, led by Lin Chen, the group arrived in the main hall and met Elder Meng, who had arrived.
"Mr. Lin, thank you for saving my old friend's life!"
Upon seeing Lin Chen, Elder Meng was filled with emotion.
He had already heard the whole story. If it weren't for Lin Chen this time, his old comrade would truly have been killed!
"Elder Meng is too kind. It was just a small effort."
Lin Chen smiled slightly, not taking it to heart.
"Mr. Lin's small effort saved my old life!"
Fan Yuntian, standing beside him, quickly stood up and thanked Lin Chen again.
"By the way, Mr. Lin, allow me to introduce you. This is the Dragon Family's consecrated disciple, Immortal Master Jiang Liang. He was sent by the Dragon Family to protect me."
Then, Fan Yuntian pointed to a young man in his early twenties and introduced him to Lin Chen.
"Oh? The Dragon Family's consecrated disciple?"
Hearing the other party's identity, Lin Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at him.
His cultivation was at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, decent but nothing outstanding.
The only thing that surprised Lin Chen was that Jiang Liang harbored a slight hostility towards him!
But he had never met this person before!
Even though he was now also a consecrated disciple of the Dragon Family, he had never interacted with this person. Why did this man now hold such hostility towards him?
"Heh, hello. I am Jiang Liang, mid-stage Foundation Establishment, a second-level consecrated disciple of the Dragon Family. May I ask which sect you belong to, fellow cultivator?"
Jiang Liang, with an arrogant demeanor, stepped forward and questioned Lin Chen.
Although his tone sounded polite, his condescending gaze made Lin Chen frown slightly.
In the Dragon Family, a first-level consecrated disciple had the cultivation of Qi Refining, a second-level disciple was in Foundation Establishment, and a third-level disciple was a cultivator of Core Formation.
However, in Zhejiang Province currently, there were only a few cultivators who had reached the Core Formation stage!
"My name is Lin Chen, the eldest disciple of the Ghost God Sect. Greetings."
Since the other party had introduced himself, Lin Chen reluctantly introduced himself.
Now that his master had reclaimed the Ghost God Sect, he, as the only disciple, was naturally the eldest disciple of the Ghost God Sect.
"Oh? Ghost God Sect? Never heard of it."
Upon hearing the name Ghost God Sect, a hint of disdain flashed in Jiang Liang's eyes.
Although there were not many cultivation sects in Zhejiang Province now, as a second-level consecrated disciple of the Dragon Family, he was aware of some of the more renowned sects.
He had never heard of this so-called Ghost God Sect, which indicated that it must be a small sect from the wilderness.
"Never mind. Chairman Fan is under my protection now. If you have nothing else, you can leave."
Jiang Liang, with his arrogant demeanor, directly issued the eviction notice.
In his opinion, this Lin Chen, who had just arrived at Chairman Fan's residence, must be trying to curry favor with Chairman Fan!
As he was currently responsible for Chairman Fan's safety, he couldn't let such a person stay by Chairman Fan's side.
"Immortal Master Jiang, Mr. Lin is my savior. How can you ask him to leave?"
Hearing Jiang Liang's words, Fan Yuntian was immediately anxious.
Although he was the chairman of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce, he was definitely a person who repaid kindness.
Lin Chen had saved his life, and he hadn't even repaid the favor yet, so how could he ask him to leave?
Wasn't this deliberately slapping him in the face?
"Chairman Fan, this person's origins are unknown, and he even concealed his true cultivation."
"The ones who attacked you just now were all from our side. Even they could betray you, let alone a cultivator whose origins are unknown?"
Jiang Liang spoke with contempt.
Although Fan Yuntian before him was a respectable chairman, he was ultimately just an ordinary person and was not worth Jiang Liang's attention!
"This immortal master, Lin Chen is my old friend. I am fully aware of his background, and he would absolutely not harm Chairman Fan."
"Furthermore, if he wanted to harm Chairman Fan, why wouldn't he have attacked earlier instead of waiting until now to make a move?"
Elder Meng next to him quickly interjected to explain.
He knew the reputation of the Dragon Family. Jiang Liang, as a consecrated disciple of the Dragon Family, was someone that he, the patriarch of such a small family, absolutely could not afford to offend!
Although Lin Chen was also a cultivator, Elder Meng had some understanding of his background. He had no powerful family supporting him!
If he offended this Jiang Liang now, Lin Chen would definitely be the one to suffer in the end.
"Hmph, since you all are so protective of this rogue cultivator from the wilderness and are belittling me, a dignified second-level consecrated disciple of the Dragon Family, then I shall leave on my own!"
Hearing that both Elder Meng and Fan Yuntian were speaking up for Lin Chen, Jiang Liang became somewhat enraged.
This was a joke. He was sent by the Dragon Family to protect Chairman Fan! Now, a dignified mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator was being compared unfavorably to a rogue cultivator from the wilderness?
"Immortal Master Jiang, please wait. We did not mean to belittle the Dragon Family's consecrated disciple, but Mr. Lin is my friend. Since Immortal Master Jiang dislikes it, we will leave ourselves."
Seeing that Jiang Liang was about to leave, Elder Meng became anxious.
His old comrade was in a precarious situation. If this consecrated disciple of the Dragon Family were to leave, who would protect the old gentleman's safety in the future?
If something were to happen to Fan Yuntian, then the entire Dragon Country would have lost half its strength.
If he were to cause Fan Yuntian to lose such a powerful bodyguard because of his relationship with Lin Chen, he would definitely feel very uneasy.
"Wait!"
Just as Elder Meng was about to take Lin Chen and leave, Fan Yuntian suddenly spoke, stopping them.
