Chapter 441 Discussing Countermeasures
Early the next morning.
Lin Chen practiced boxing in the courtyard as usual, looking relaxed and carefree.
Lin Nian'er squatted on the steps, resting her chin on her hands, tilting her head to look at Lin Chen, her eyes blinking like two black grapes.
The little girl was wearing a red jacket today, with two little pigtails, and looked like a doll from a New Year's painting.
Liu Sheng Piaopiao stood to the side, holding a tea tray in her hands.
She was wearing a light blue dress, her hair was neatly combed, and her face had a faint blush.
I don't know if it was dyed by the morning sun or for some other reason.
Lin Chen withdrew his fist, exhaled a breath of stale air, took the tea that Liu Sheng Piaopiao handed him, and took a sip.
The temperature is just right, neither too hot nor too cold.
The tea is this year's new tea, with a sweet taste and a long-lasting aftertaste.
Lin Chen glanced at Liu Sheng Piaopiao: "Why are you the one serving tea? Where's the maid?"
Liu Sheng Piaopiao lowered her head, her voice barely audible, "I...I want to come."
Lin Chen looked at her and smiled, "Okay, come every day from now on."
Liu Sheng Piaopiao looked delighted, picked up the tea tray, and turned to run away.
Lin Nian'er exclaimed "Eh!" from the side.
"Why did Aunt Piao Piao run away? We haven't finished our tea yet."
Lin Chen bent down, picked up Lin Nian'er, and kissed her on the cheek: "Children don't understand."
Lin Nian'er pouted, looking indignant: "I'm eighty! I'm not a child anymore!"
Lin Chen laughed out loud: "Yes, yes, you've grown up, you're a young lady now."
Lin Nian'er was finally satisfied. She hugged Lin Chen's neck and kissed him on the cheek.
With a smack, saliva smeared half of Jinchen's face.
At this moment, Yuan Tiangang walked in from behind the moon gate.
Lin Chen put Lin Nian'er down and patted her head: "Go play by yourself, Daddy has something to do."
Lin Nian'er reluctantly said "Oh," and walked away, looking back every few steps.
"What news is there now?" Lin Chen wiped the drool off his face.
Yuan Tiangang said, "The president of the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce came through the teleportation array last night to present a visiting card requesting an audience with our lord. He is currently at the foot of the mountain."
Just as Lin Chen was about to speak, another figure emerged from behind the moon gate.
Zhuge Liang, dressed in a blue robe, holding a feather fan, smiled and walked with light steps.
Lin Chen nodded in acknowledgment, then said, "Let's go, let's talk in the study."
The three people walked one after the other through the covered corridor toward the study.
Li Chunfeng was already waiting at the door of the study.
Upon seeing Lin Chen, he cupped his hands in greeting: "My lord."
Lin Chen pushed open the door and went in, followed by the three others, who each took a seat.
Lin Chen sat in the main seat, crossed his legs, and leaned back in his chair.
"Everyone's here. Now, tell me, what's the plan?"
The three people exchanged a glance.
Zhuge Liang spoke first: "The Central Plains are shattered, and the situation is extremely tense, but according to the news sent back by the Bad Guards, there have been no further changes so far."
The crack hung suspended in mid-air, neither widening nor shrinking; the oppressive pressure fluctuated, but remained constant.
Yuan Tiangang added, "The major sects in Zhongzhou have already closed their mountains, and the Celestial Immortal Ancestors have emerged one after another, but not to fight against the Heavenly Rift, but to protect themselves."
They knew better than anyone that what lay behind that crack was beyond their capabilities.
"In addition, the teleportation array has been overwhelmed since last night until this morning. The Foreign Affairs Bureau is short-handed, so I have transferred a group of people from the Great Snow Dragon Riders to maintain order."
Lin Chen rubbed his temples.
Well, the Eastern Region has really become a refugee camp.
Li Chunfeng spoke up at this moment.
"My lord, no matter how chaotic the Central Plains are, our preparations in Dongshan cannot stop."
"I've reinforced the second layer of the formation to seventy percent. Give me another month, and it will be finished."
Lin Chen nodded: "Continue. We have plenty of money and manpower."
Li Chunfeng nodded: "Yes."
Zhuge Liang waved his fan twice, then suddenly said:
"My lord, there is something I would like to ask you."
"explain."
"What level has your cultivation reached, my lord?"
Lin Chen thought about it and felt there was nothing to hide. The system was his creation and would not betray him.
"Mid-stage True Lord".
The study was quiet for a moment.
Zhuge Liang paused for a moment while waving his fan.
Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng's expressions remained unchanged, but their pupils contracted slightly.
The words "Mid-stage True Lord" were more powerful than the tremor of the heavens splitting in the Central Plains.
Zhuge Liang was the first to react, and he started waving his feather fan again, smiling:
"Our lord truly is a man who remains silent until he speaks out, and when he does, he astounds everyone."
Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng didn't speak, but they seemed much more relaxed.
Lin Chen leaned back in his chair, looking at the three people, when he suddenly remembered something.
He sat up and took out two white jade porcelain bottles from his bosom.
"The Celestial Elixir, one for each person. Old Yuan has already taken it, now it's just the two of you who are left."
The air in the study fell silent for a moment.
This time, it was even quieter than before; even Zhuge Liang's hand, which was waving his fan, completely stopped.
Zhuge Liang looked at the porcelain vase on the table but did not reach for it, nor did Li Chunfeng.
"My lord, this thing is too valuable." Zhuge Liang said seriously, "It would be a waste for me to use it."
Lin Chen waved his hand, "Stop talking nonsense. You are all the people I trust the most. The world can change in an instant, and you have to live."
Celestial beings have long lifespans; the longer they live, the more years they can work for me.
Zhuge Liang opened his mouth, then closed it again.
Li Chunfeng was silent for a moment, then reached out and picked up a porcelain bottle, holding it in his hand.
He didn't say anything, but something was swirling in his eyes.
He didn't say anything, but something was swirling in his eyes.
Lin Chen stood up, walked around the desk, and went behind the two of them.
"Stop dawdling, use it now, I'll protect you."
Zhuge Liang glanced at Li Chunfeng.
Li Chunfeng glanced at Zhuge Liang.
The two nodded at the same time and put the pills into their mouths simultaneously.
One hour later.
Zhuge Liang opened his eyes first, and a faint purple aura of celestial beings emanated from his body.
Immediately afterwards, Li Chunfeng also opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with divine light.
The two stood up at the same time, looked at Lin Chen, bowed deeply, and said nothing.
Lin Chen waved his hand, looking completely unconcerned.
"Alright, alright, stop with the formalities, sit down, we have other things to do."
The two sat down.
Lin Chen returned to the main seat and took out several porcelain bottles and cloth bags of various sizes from his ring, placing them on the table.
Zhuge Liang glanced at it and said, "This is..."
Lin Chen leaned back in his chair and pushed the things forward.
"There are only three Celestial Immortal Pills, but there are still quite a few Human Immortal Pills and Celestial Human Pills."
Aside from the portions reserved for my wives, the rest are all here.
"The three of you should discuss and decide who should be used and who should be given priority."
There is only one principle: increase combat power. The world is undergoing tremendous changes, and the rift in the Central Plains will not wait for anyone.
What I want is not for one person to be strong, but for everyone to be strong.
The three men looked at the pile of pills on the table and replied in unison, "Yes!"
The three chatted for a while longer, about the situation in Zhongzhou, the defense of Dayan, the control of the teleportation array, and the resettlement of rogue cultivators.
Lin Chen listened, occasionally interjecting with a comment.
Most of the time, he's the one who makes the final decision.
Zhuge Liang said "It should be like this," Yuan Tiangang said "It should be like that," and Li Chunfeng said "From the perspective of formation, it should be like this."
When the three disagreed, they all looked at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen simply said one word: "Okay."
Or just two words: "No."
Simple and crude, but it works.
Having finished discussing the matter, the three men rose to take their leave.
As he reached the door, Yuan Tiangang suddenly stopped and turned to look at Lin Chen.
"My lord."
"Um?"
"Would you like to see the president of the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce?"
Lin Chen then remembered what Yuan Tiangang had mentioned earlier that morning.
"Bring him up!"
Li Chunfeng was silent for a moment, then reached out and picked up a porcelain bottle, holding it in his hand.
He didn't say anything, but something was swirling in his eyes.
Lin Chen stood up, walked around the desk, and went behind the two of them.
