One person: I wanted to give up, but my abilities wouldn't allow it.

"You're welcome, Junior Brother Fu Chen. I was just sharing some of my thoughts. Your understanding is a testament to your own skill."

A determined glint flashed in Fu Chen's eyes. "However, without your inspiration, I might still be stuck in my old ways of thinking. Thank you, Senior Brother Lin Chen."

Lin Chen sensed Fu Chen's sincerity, and he smiled slightly.

“Junior brother, you have already reached a certain level of awareness, which is more important than any gratitude.”

At this moment, Lin Chen felt it was a suitable opportunity, and he said to Fu Chen:

"Junior Brother Fu Chen, there is something I want to tell you."

Fu Chen looked up curiously. "What is it?"

Lin Chen pondered for a moment, then said:

"Although I'm not sure if you'll accept, I feel it's time for me to repay the kindness shown to me at the foot of the mountain."

Fu Chen was taken aback. "The favor of being patted down the mountain?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes."

When I was young, a kind old man lent me a helping hand and helped me out of a difficult situation.

Now, I also want to help someone, hoping he can find his way out of his confusion.

Chapter 190 Choosing a Line

Fu Chen listened silently.

A feeling of emotion welled up inside me.

He understood that what Lin Chen was talking about must be a story hidden deep in his heart.

Perhaps it was a turning point in his spiritual journey.

As Lin Chen was about to leave, he noticed Hong Bin casting a concerned glance at him.

He knew that Hong Bin's attention to him was not without reason, so he followed Hong Bin's gaze.

The two quietly slipped away from Fu Chen and Tang Yingjie.

"Senior Brother Lin Chen, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

Hong Bin said.

Lin Chen smiled slightly.

"Please say."

Hong Bin's tone became serious.

"I think you should be careful of Tang Yingjie, who is around you."

Lin Chen was slightly taken aback, then asked:

"why?"

Hong Bin frowned.

I have some doubts about his motives.

He might have been sent to spy on you.

Lin Chen was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly, "I understand."

06 Thank you for reminding me, Hong Bin.

Hong Bin looked at Lin Chen,

With a hint of worry in his expression, he said, "Senior Brother Lin Chen, you must be careful."

Don't put yourself in danger.

Lin Chen smiled and patted Hong Bin on the shoulder.

"Thank you for your concern, Hong Bin."

I will be careful.

Lin Chen sensed Old Master Hong's concerns.

He knew that Hong Bin must have hesitated and worried about something when he reminded him at this time.

He looked at Hong Bin with a mixture of understanding and determination in his eyes.

“Hongbin, I know your concern for me is genuine.”

Lin Chen's voice conveyed warmth and understanding.

Hong Bin's expression showed some hesitation.

"Senior Brother Lin Chen, I just feel..."

Lin Chen interrupted him directly.

Is there anything else you're hiding from me?

Hong Bin was taken aback; he hadn't expected Lin Chen to ask this question so directly.

His expression showed some surprise, but he quickly became hesitant.

“Actually…” Hong Bin’s voice was somewhat muffled.

"I have some family matters to take care of."

Lin Chen noticed the unnaturalness in Hong Bin's expression.

“Hong Bin, I feel that you seem to have other hesitations, not just because of Tang Yingjie.”

Hong Bin remained silent for a while.

In the end, he shook his head.

"It's nothing, Senior Brother Lin Chen, just some trivial matters."

Lin Chen knew that Hong Bin was hesitating about whether to tell him the truth.

He did not want to pressure Hong Bin.

However, he felt that as friends, they should be honest with each other.

"Hongbin, I hope we can be sincere with each other. If you have any difficulties or troubles..."

I'm willing to listen and do my best to help you.

Lin Chen's voice was full of sincerity and determination.

Hong Bin's resolve began to waver.

He knew Lin Chen was a trustworthy friend.

He decided to tell Lin Chen the truth.

"Actually... I have something important to do."

Hong Bin's voice was somewhat heavy.

“I plan to go to Huanglongxi, but I’m worried I might not be able to handle it alone.”

Lin Chen frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"Huanglongxi? Isn't that place a bit unsafe?"

Hong Bin nodded.

"Yes, I am a little worried about my safety."

Therefore, I would like to ask if you could come with me.

Lin Chen pondered for a moment, then finally nodded.

“Okay, Hongbin. I’ll go with you.”

Lin Chen, I have to thank you.

They agreed to help me so quickly.

Hong Bin said sincerely.

Lin Chen turned to look at Hong Bin and said with a smile:

Don't mention it, it's what I should do.

However, Hong Bin, you need to tell me in more detail what happened?

Hong Bin nodded and began to recount his experiences:

Actually, this is a long story.

Some time ago, I found an ancient jade in Huanglongxi. I never expected that this ancient jade would have such extraordinary effects.

It is said that the person who possesses this jade pendant can control a power called 'Wind and Thunder Profound Force'. Sounds pretty amazing, right?

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow slightly.

He was quite interested in the effects of ancient jade, but he did not interrupt Hong Bin and continued to listen.

Hong Bin continued:

However, not long after, a group of people found out about this and wanted to steal the ancient jade.

I didn't think much of it at first, thinking they wouldn't do anything to me.

Unexpectedly, they have driven me to a dead end, and I have no choice but to come to you for help.

Lin Chen frowned; he would naturally not tolerate such despicable behavior.

But he knew he had to solve the immediate problem first.

Okay, don't worry anymore.

We will help you handle this.

Lin Chen comforted him.

Hong Bin breathed a sigh of relief and was extremely grateful for Lin Chen's statement.

Tang Yingjie remained silent for a while as the vehicle moved.

Suddenly, he asked: Who exactly are these people? How powerful are they?

Hong Bin gave a wry smile, his expression somewhat grave:

They were a gang of bandits who made a living by violence, and many people had heard of their reputation, calling themselves the "Wind and Thunder Hall".

Their leader was called Thunder, and he was said to be an extremely ruthless man.

Upon hearing this name, Lin Chen's brows furrowed.

This name is not unfamiliar in the martial arts world, and the influence of 'Fenglei Hall' has been constantly expanding, making many martial arts practitioners tremble with fear at the mere mention of their name.

Yes, the 'Wind and Thunder Hall' is indeed not easy to deal with.

But we can't be helpless either. A determined look flashed in Lin Chen's eyes.

Time passed slowly, and the vehicle traveled for quite some time without encountering any problems along the way.

Huanglongxi is nestled among green mountains, surrounded by water and beautiful scenery.

However, the atmosphere was heavy, as if a storm could break out at any moment.

Let's find a place to stay first.

I'll deal with this tomorrow.

Lin Chen made his decision.

Hong Bin nodded in agreement.

He had complete trust in Lin Chen's decision.

The three of them found an inn to stay at.

After settling in,

Hong Bin then discussed countermeasures with Lin Chen.

Lin Chen frowned, knowing that this opponent was no pushover.
